I admit it. I couldn't stand the SOB. But, that shite was irrational. I have no logical reason for disliking him other than it was sort of the thing to do.

The guy is young, rich, having a blast and pulling OT 9+s regularly.

Let's be honest. Most people hate him at this point due to jealousy. Not much else.

I actually expect the SOB to be successful in the NFL because he's just got too big a damned ego not to be.

I dont hate him, dude is living the dream.

I disagree with you though, i think hes out of the league in a couple years and in rehab with substance abuse issues.

If i had his talents and accomplishments i'd be having a whole lot worse. Especially if i went to a school that had a prevalence of Texas blondes

I don't care how much fun he has in his free time.

On the field, he has acted like a douchebag and been immature and disrespectful, especially his first season. It got better. I never hated him for it.

But you can't deny he's acted like a douche at times on the field. And it wasn't just "having fun, living the dream" he was being a douche.

He got better though, grew up a little

He's just a douche. Russell Wilson is young, rich and having a blast but I don't hate him because he's humble and doesn't act like an entitled prick. I think of JM as the Justin Beiber of football.

he can throw it no doubt about that.

but if he gets in there and starts to scramble every time he sees something he doesn't like then he's going to have a bad time.

I like how he is frugal enough to fly southwest.

I don't hate him. The only sports figure who I hate irrationally is Lebron. frick you, Lebron.

But he is a douche. Can't we all just agree on that and move on?

I don't hate him, but I think his fanboys are the absolute worst. 10x worse than Lebrons

But I do think he's a douche and is a Bernie Kosher 2.0 with substance abuse issues in his future

It seems that people like to accuse others of "hating" their favorite players when they point out those players' flaws or simply don't worship them.

He seems like very douchey trust fund baby you've ever met. Other than that, I've got no problem with the guy. I'm sure I'd dislike him personally if I met him, but he is a fantastic football player who I enjoyed watching.

Most of the hate for guys like manziel and lebron is due to over saturation. When the media pushes a certain person so hard for so long, people get tired of it.

I expect him to last no more than five years. He's undersized and I don't think he will have the durability. I still think he was doin the cocaine when that picture showed him with a rolled up one dollar bill
