The off-field character of a Roger Staubach or Peyton Manning is sadly missing.

The young alcoholic will be watching Sunday football games at home soon.

More interested in drinking than your job = formula for failure

Johnny Manziel just doesn’t get that simple equation

Yes, character still matters ... maybe the NFL scouts (and team owners) will remember that at the next draft

Thing is, there’s always been plenty of boozed up QB’s in the NFL, but Manziel is the type who can’t handle his drinking.

A wasted draft pick.

I don’t know about that. It’s a bye week and he wasn’t out doping up or shooting people. The video I saw was simply partying. If he’s not breaking the law or putting himself in danger, I fail to understand why the team would care. I certainly wouldn’t want MY employer to take such a view on what happens during my off hours, especially when I have an extra week off.

I am happy the staff was able to convince Jerry Jones this guy was not good for the Cowboys. Looking at their roster and their problem players, that is saying quite a bit!

No one seemed to care what Ted Kennedy did when he was “off the field”.

I’m a suffering Browns fan for over 50 years. This is just what happens in Cleveland. Back to the drawing board. Trent, Branden, Johny, etc. The list goes on and on. It’s that time of the year again. ned new coach, new quarterback, new running back, new offensive and defensive line, new receivers, etc. The curse of Carl Stokes and the burning Cuyahoga River.

Remember when the Jets suspended Broadway Joe for all his off field antics and carousing?

Didn't think so.

If your numbers are good the other stuff does not matter.

The NFL has had a long history of hard-partying guys.

The stories of Bobby Layne, Frank Gifford et. al. are legendary. Only difference is the media was not around recording and tweeting their activities.

The Browns are out of the playoffs and used a first round pick on him. MCCown isn’t the future and they need to play Manziel the rest of the way to see what they have. It’s been obvious that Pettine never wanted to start Manziel since he arrived in Cleveland and will keep Manzeil on the bench even if it cost him games so it’s personal. Is Manziel a drunk? Yes. Is he a jackass? Yes. Do you play him out from here on out to evaluate him before you work your draft board? Yes.Do you let Pettine go after the season since he can’t coach at the NFL level? Yes. If Manzeil can’t play they need to know by putting him in actual games since it doesn’t matter this season. The coach staff is horrible I hate to blow it up again but well it can’t get any better with this crew.

My local team had a choice in last year’s draft for QB and chose the problem child. He has improved in his performance but I am holding my breath for his future behavior. No kudos for guessing where I live, and boy do I miss Coach Dungy!
