Brandon Marshall: Johnny Manziel doesn't get it, needs to get life together

"Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. This is a serious topic," Marshall said during Tuesday's appearance on Showtime's Inside the NFL. "Well, first, you've got to forget about football, sir. You need to go get your life together. And to be quite frank, I don't think you get it. You don't understand. You're ruining a very, very special opportunity. It's an honor to be in the NFL.

"There is a thing out there called divine mentorship, where you can learn from others' mistakes. He has the opportunity to really sit back and reflect on his situation, look at others, and learn from it and be better."


There are reports that Manziel wants to play in Dallas and Jones hasn't exactly shot down that idea. But the reality is that, even if that comes to pass, Manziel hasn't shown he's close to being an NFL quarterback. Even if Jones buys him a one or two-year reprieve from the real world, the bottom line doesn't change: On Manziel's current course, he'll be out of football soon enough with little hope of getting another shot. If he doesn't think it can happen, his agent should set up a meeting with JaMarcus Russell.
 
Calvin Johnson to retire?

According to the Detroit Free Press, "several people who know" Calvin Johnson think he could retire this offseason.

All that wear and tear has caused Johnson to contemplate his future. He has mentioned the subject of retirement to at least one former teammate.

"There has been some conversations about it, not asking me how it is," said one former teammate. "But I think the guy's beat up. I think he's been through enough. And I think it's just his time. I don't know for sure if he's going to do it."

Longtime Detroit radio host Terry Foster wrote in a column on The Ticket's website Tuesday that he thinks Johnson could walk away from the game, and several people who know the Pro Bowl receiver agree that it's not a far-fetched scenario.

Manziel family loaded. Money is not the object. He probably really thinking about how football players are the lowest paid in US major sports lexicon but has the highest injury rate.
 
No one mentioning Kaepernick.

You cant tell me with a elite D and at least 1 young go-to WR (Crabtree was not that) he couldn't repeat what he did in SF.

Kansas City, Texans, hell even the Jets could have him compete. All those teams have top shelf D's with QBs with clear ceilings.

He's not done, teams are just spoiled by instant success

And its sad man. Brady and Rothlisberger started off similar! !! It took both those dudes 4, 5 years as starters to actually start puttin up guady numbers.

What success he had. Alex Smith brought that team to the NFCCG too.

Kaep numbers was never great. He was slightly below average.

Bum ass Gabbert came in and pinup better numbers then Kaep. And he's not good himself.

Uh Kaep took them to back to back title games and damn near led them to a comeback in the super bowl. He's put up numbers in the playoffs too.

Kaep is good?

He's a scrub. Have you watched him play these last two years?

He's not a scrub. He has skills and has proven he can ball in the right situation.
 
Hell I was hoping we brought in Kaep as back up as insurance in case things didn't work out with Grayson after Brees retired or moved on eventually.
 
I think KC is going to surprise everybody, I know it's fashionable to clown Alex Smith but dude has shown up in the playoffs. I hear people bring up that loss to the Colts a couple years ago but dude had 4 touchdowns and no TOs and he threw a perfect pass that Bowe dropped that would have won them the game.

The AFC is weak this year the Chiefs have as good a chance as any team to win the AFC.
