People despise JF so much even if he becomes great or a solid QB people will still say he didn't live up to the hype, so who cares what he does in his free time.
Sometimes I honestly think your the only knowledgeable Skins fan I ever met!
I completely agree. I don't condone his actions and how he is representing himself or the Browns at this time. At the same time we have no clue what he is all doing with his down time as right now there is a ton of down time so he could be spending 8-10 hours in his playbook and in the weight room then after going out for a drink with some friends. Not what I would do when I am supposed to be the face of the franchise but I have plenty of friends who are great at their job and yet still party hard.
Now if he were the quarterback of the Broncos man I would be pissed by all of this but if he then went and played great on the field I would have a bit more leniency on his actions that he is doing during the off season. As soon as I would see it interfering with his play on the field though man if I were the owner I would be wondering what the heck were we thinking drafting this guy. Now honestly I wonder that already as I don't think he will be special in the NFL but if I knew he wasn't doing everything he could to be great I would be ticked that we used such a valuable pick to get a guy that would rather party.
So again we shall see what happens. There are guys who can handle being in the NFL and having success on the field while also partying at the proper time. There are others that let that take over their lives. I do worry when I see the people he has decided to associate himself with that he is heading down a very bad path but we shall see.
ATL96Steeler I will say though he hasn't had much time to prove anything on the field yet though. His whole NFL career up to this point has been off the field so until he is on the field we have no clue. There have been plenty of players who partied hard but also worked hard. Heck I look at a guy like Gronkowski who when healthy is considered the best TE in the NFL and if he can get healthy could end up being a top-5 guy at his position yet he is a big time partier but he is also known for his hard work on the field and his time in the weight room.
As hard as Peyton Manning works he has said he realizes now he actually worked too hard at times and wore himself out. He has learned now that it is important to take some time off and relax. Now what somebody chooses to do with that time is up to them. For Peyton it is usually spending time with family relaxing. For Johnny it is going out with his friends and having a good time. Now given there is a tough balance that a player has to find. I would agree right now Johnny is living it up a bit much and should work to get out of the spotlight just a bit. We shall see though once the season has started how much time he really has put into his craft and working to make himself better.
There's a difference between a tight end and a QB. A tight end, even a super star, can just be a face in the crowd of the team in terms of his example. The QB, no matter what, sets the tone for the team and will Lways be the example in the locker room and the face of the franchise. The spotlight isn't the same.
I really hope he leads the Browns to the winning way and I hope he proves me wrong for sure. What I see is if he is the starting QB...by early October: " I haven't had enough time to learn the playbook ..it will take a while to learn...get off of my back!"
It's all going to come down to how he plays. If he comes in and blows people's doors off, we'll eat our words. If he comes in and struggles, we'll look back at all that partying and say, "We told you so, kid. You should have listened".
Tom Brady told his team yesterday that vacation is over and it's time to get to work.
Tell me what does Tom have left to prove at this point? He's got his rings and no one doubts he's going to be in Canton, yet he looks ahead and realizes he's got to get going on things.
Yet to look at Johnny Manziel, it's no big deal. He's got this in the bag.

Johnny problem is he always taking pictures wherever he goes. The whole world doesn't need to know that you were out with the fellas. I'm pretty sure other rookies have gone out to have a good time on several weekends but they're not taking/posting pictures on IG for the world to see.
Quite a few of them do the same thing. Just, nobody cares. He has significantly more followers than those others and, and a certain network keeping tabs on everything.
Joe was a joke and since Ben got into shit he (and his team) have gotten nothing done.

Call me naïve, but I don't think Tom Brady or Peyton Manning spending too many Monday nights partying it up at Justin Bieber's house. Especially 24 hours after your team owner told you to "tone it down"

The first r*pe accusation was back in 2008 and Ben won a superbowl that season... Then went to the superbowl in 2010...
Yea... He (and his team) have gotten nothing done alright
