However, I'm not so much of a hypocrite as to apply a standard of behavior to one generation that was not applied to men of the past generations in the same profession.
Well back in the day we didn't have as much information on addiction and addictive personalities as we do today.
The behavior Manziel is exhibiting seems to go far beyond just having a good time. When you're willing to flush your career down the toilet because you can't stop drinking, yeah that's an obvious problem.

I put about as much credence in these studies as I do in the studies that tout the modern "rape culture" in the US. The people doing the study have a vested interest in maintaining the fiction that "addiction" is a lifelong struggle that can never be overcome or outgrown. Given the amount of money that the drug and alcohol treatment industry funnels into law enforcement and the number of involuntary patients law enforcement funnels into the drug and alcohol treatment industry, I don't see the situation changing, and that is unfortunate.
