Schefter just tweeted Manziel has demoted to 3rd string.

I'm pretty conflicted on how I feel about this. On one hand JFF absolutely has to grow up and can't put himself in these situations.

On the other, let this kid live his life. Imagine if every single time you went out you had cameras and videos in your face trying in every way possible to catch you slipping.

If I had a job where I was making millions and had a job of just not fricking up, I would be fine. Just don't frick up, do what they ask.

He needs to buckle down and focus on football. They gave him a chance to prove himself and he flew to Austin on his bye weekend to party. He needs to decide how badly he wants to be a professional football player

considering his history, I don't blame media following him...he has done some idiotic things...if he cares about his job, he will do what it takes to keep it

While I think he can certianly do what he wants, if he wants to be taken seriously as an NFL quaterback, then he needs to think about what he does. QBs are held to a different standard than wide receivers or corner backs - they have to be leaders in the huddle. Just my HPOV

How does a player like Manziel remain on a roster with his immaturity issues on and off the field while Tebow isn't worth a roster spot? I get that Tebow has problems with his mechanics, but at least he wants to be on the field and will do anything to get his team a victory.

If I'm paying someone millions of dollars, I basically run your life now. They told him to lay low and stop drinking. He got what he deserved.

While I think being demoted for going out on your bye week is pretty silly, how hard is it to just stay home one weekend and not drink and party? Especially when your employer has told you multiple times to take it easy.

Never should have gone to rehab. Rehab shifts the story from Johnny likes to party to Johnny has a drinking problem.

He can party all he wants during the offseason. If you are the starting QB of a NFL franchise you need to keep a low profile and work on your game even during the bye week.

"I let him know that I'm not going to do anything that's going to be a distraction to this team or be an embarrassment to the organization,'' Manziel said last week of his conversation with Pettine. "I'm going to get a chance to go and relax like everybody else in this locker room is. I don't think they're going to have to worry about me this week."


I'm conflicted by this quote...

(1) What he did in Austin might be "relaxing" for your average Joe that is Johnny Manziel's age. What he did in Austin as a starting NFL QB, who is ridiculed for his every move, is not "relaxing."

(2) Was his weekend "embarrassing" to the organization? Maybe I missed a video, but all I saw him do was rap to a song with a bottle in hand. Was his weekend a "distraction" to the organization? Sure, I suppose... Manziel went to a rehab facility for a "disease" that he likely does not have. More than likely he was advised to go in order to deflect the media attention elsewhere.

I suppose I just don't see the big deal, but maybe I'm still young myself with the same "going out" tendencies.
