The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.
Can the Browns Learn from the Johnny Manziel Disaster, Their Worst Mistake Yet?
The minute Johnny Manziel was released, the texts and calls started pouring in. The consensus among front-office executives and scouts: The drafting of Manziel set the Browns back a good two to three years—if not longer. Manziel was, they agreed, the second-worst draft pick in the history of theNFL. That's how much picking him 22nd overall and wasting two years considering him a future franchise quarterback damaged the organization.
The second-worst draft pick of all time. Behind Ryan Leaf. This is what they all said. Their words. And it wasn't just one or two sources who made the comparison. It was four.
I've heard this sentiment before from team officials but not to the extent or with the ferocity that I heard it Friday. There wasn't just an I told you so tone to the remarks. There was, well, disgust.

I kind of want to feel sorry for Johnny. But its so hard to feel bad for an over privileged, silver spoon sucking, spoiled brat who was enabled to do whatever he wanted his whole life. So many people to blame for how Johnny turned out besides just himself(parents, HS coach, Sumlin, Browns coaches, friends, hangers on, fans, etc) that it should be no surprise that he failed so magnificently and so publicly. I hope he gets help, but never makes another NFL roster, or is greatly humbled in the CFL or arena league, if football is his true calling at a profession

He's worth millions of dollars and all he has to do is not live like a fucking idiot. Should be easy for any normal human being. No sympathy here.

...Correction. He could make his own millions and have to listen to everyone and not live like a fucking idiot, or he could live like a fucking idiot and still be worth millions of dollars. His folks dont have the balls to cut him off.

I'm just counting the money that he has already made from being a first round draft pick. Not counting mommy and daddy's tit that he lived on until draft day.

Ok...first, the Browns are always set back two or three years, Manziel or no Manziel. Second, wasting two years considering him the future? Not quite. Year one saw Hoyer start over Manziel for most of the season. Year two, McCown was a better option and started whenever capable, so the Browns surely weren't relying on Johnny to QB the team to greatness. It was more...wasting two years without a competent, sober, backup.
