    Manziel In Rehab

    Published:
    Updated:


    Former Texas A&M quarterback and current Cleveland Brown Johnny Manziel has entered rehab, according to Cleveland.com beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot
    Brad Beckworth, friend and advisor to Manziel and his family, has confirmed that Manziel entered treatment on Wednesday.
    In a statement released to Northeast Ohio Media Group by Manziel's publicist Denise Michaels:
    "Brad Beckworth, a friend and advisor to Manziel and his family, has confirmed that Johnny entered treatment on Wednesday. Johnny knows there are areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate and he thought the off-season was the right time to take this step.
    "On behalf of Johnny and his family, we're asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland."
    Numerous reports have detailed Manziel's inability to leave the party lifestyle behind, his frequent absences from team meetings and activities, missing injury treatments and his general lack of self-awareness throughout his rookie campaign.
    Manziel struggled in his rookie season in Cleveland.
    After veteran Brian Hoyer was benched, Manziel, the 22nd overall pick in last year’s draft, struggled mightily and led the Browns to just three points in six quarters as a starter.
    Hoyer is a free agent.
    Recently, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said, "We've got to get a quarterback and got to get it fixed."
    Haslam made it clear the Browns will demand more of Manziel, who went 18 of 35 for 175 yards and two picks.
    "Johnny has to show on and off the field he can be a professional," Haslam said. "He knows that. Everybody in the organization has told him that. It'll be up to Flip and Pett to decide whether he can be the kind of quarterback we need him to be. He knows what we expect of him on and off the field and it's up to him to prove he can do that."

    per rotoworld

    The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Johnny Manziel checked into a treatment facility.

    Whoa. We knew Manziel was going down a dangerous road of partying, but weren't aware he was in such dire need of help. He's still just a 22-year-old kid. But he has a big-boy job unlike most his age and it's time to put the booze behind him. "Johnny entered treatment on Wednesday," said his publicist. "Johnny knows there are areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend, and teammate and he thought the off-season was the right time to take this step. On behalf of Johnny and his family, we’re asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland." From sleeping on inflatable swans to being caught rolling up a dollar bill in a bathroom to oversleeping and missing the final walkthrough of the season, Manziel's rookie year was a well-chronicled disaster. We assume he'll get himself in order this spring and be back to compete for a job.

    we could probably all benefit from rehab but very few of us can afford it.

    its funny most americans get fukked up, smoke, and drink too much caffiene b/c of stress associated with work and then people like Manziel get fukked to celebrate financial success

    he's too small for the NFL.

    The only way most QB's can have success is to have good players playing around him.

    He has a lousy supporting cast.

    Exactly why Mcnab succeeded and Achilles Smith and Tim Coach were cut eventually. 1 sucked for four years but had a dominating defense the other two had awful defenses that couldn't hide them enuf for them to mature.

    He's so bad. Now we know not even nfl material. Yet the day after super bowl he grabs the headline on sports shows. The league of players and even his own teammates must be laughing at this kid. He is purely entertainment.

    This stunt bought manziel time. Now Cleveland would look bad if they didn't bring him back next year. And when he still stinks manziel can still use this as an excuse.

    Another qb with inflated stats because of the system they are in. All the spread offense qb's are a waste of a draft pick.

    Kevin Sumlin has not had one successful nfl qb yet he has top rated passers every year. Its the system not the qb's. Remember when Kyle Allen threw for 500 yards??
