You’re kidding right? Manziel was a top recruit, a Heisman trophy winner and came from a very rich family. He was also a 1st round pick. If anything Manziel had more reason for the Browns to stick with him than Sanders
If Stefanski is fired this year (not unlikely) then both Gabriel and Shedur have to prove themselves to a whole new regime, that is going to have their own idea of what they want in a QB. Are they going to want the 5th rounder from a year ago, that was always in the headlines for some reason (not all his own doing) or someone that is going to show up everyday and work hard and is not a distraction.
The Sanders family seems to think he’s untouchable and that’s just simply not true. Guys like Peterman, for all his issues, will be more likely to get a job if he can be a good soldier than a 3rd string QB who has mom talking to the media
