I just am a believer, no matter how bad the team/employer was....never throw them under the bus especially when you're trying to get back in. Speak the political talk. I hear you. A couple years ago when I was interviewing for a job they asked why I left my previous job. All I could say was "That's a great question, and I dont have a professional way that Im comfortable answering that". They were semi-familiar with the ownership of my previous company and replied with "Understood, say no more". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 He's got a point about the Browns. EVERY scouting report on him highlighted his lack of good study habits in college. EVERY. ONE. It was common knowledge and the Browns were certainly aware and chose to ignore that red flag. That is on them. It's not Manziel's fault they chose him anyway.

And in the whole quote he talks about how he never ran/learned/saw a Pro Offense before. Then he shows up in Cleveland, and there is no one to teach him. They just expected him to learn it all himself, starting from square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPinC Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 23 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: Agreed. Someone needs to advise him not to give interviews about why he failed, but instead focus on why he is going to succeed. Bringing this stuff back up isn't going to help him now, and it isn't going to show he has left things in the past. Gotta choose, does he want to play football or does he want to write a book about why he isnt playing football. Cant have it both ways. Exactly. All it did was show he's still playing a blame game and that he continues to lack the wisdom to see the big picture moving forward. All he can control is his own words and actions and they continue to be piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you also saying that unless you are a paid pro scout then you are completely unable to breakdown game film and make meaningful assessments? also odd.

KDIGGZ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 haha this is like going to a job interview and they are like why did you get fired from your last job and you say "i don't know what I'm doing and I'm lazy. it was their fault for hiring me. they should have known better." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im saying that the information we are privy to is superficial at best. Additionally, our training to analyze that film or reporting is extremely limited and under-developed. We arent sitting down with these guys to interview them. Even the best of us dont see the same things on tape the pros look for. It's a nice hobby, but we arent anywhere even close to the pros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell did they talk about in the interviews etc ...????? That's his whole point, though. They did interview him, and they KNEW he never ran a Pro style offense and would need to learn it from scratch. So they draft him, and then dont have anyone to teach him. And then they wonder why he didnt get the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 44 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Why would he say this? He supposedly has desire to get back to the NFL and now he throws the organization he played for under the bus. It's worse than that IMO. He's shirking all responsibility for his own conduct. A mature adult would admit that he f'd up, and would promise that he'd try to do better if he got another chance. It's also not his fault that he did whatever drugs he did, either, amirite?
