Does anybody even care? I was never a fan and especially not since he fucked up a rare opportunity to play in the NFL.

Having said that everybody loves a good comeback story. Let's see if he can keep his nose clean figuratively and literally.

He should have an easy time with that huge endzone and field they have in the CFL.

You mean Grey Cups I assume. You're right. Haha. He really is an idiot. But sure. I can see him being a big fish in a small pond. I think he wants to make it up to the NFL though. What a waste. He was there. Messed it up.

Hey, props to him if he can make it back. I personally don't think he's good enough to do any real damage in the NFL.

He is from my hometown, I’m following...he got really famous too quick, made some mistakes and now is back on the right path, imo...pulling for him big time to get a second chance

I'm following him Justin Cruise, today he had a nice comeback win when he took over as QB in the 2nd qt. Justin do you think he still is partying way to much?

He's playing in my hometown, so I have some interest in how he does.

He seems pretty accurate in that 10-15 yard range...Ricky Ray and Anthony Calvillo style. His legs will serve him well. He has been playing against back ups primarily roughly 30 passes NO ints that's a good sign

The CFL is perfect for Manziel.

I believe he's headed for a big year stat wise.

Maybe somebody who understands the process better can tell me...Does Manziel even have a realistic chance to make it back to the NFL? If he does it must very much be a mountain to climb, no?

Flutie, Moon, Theismann………..why not Johnny Football?

Not sure what realistic means until we see him play a couple of years. BTW he begins the season as a backup QB.

Looks like a good fit for him with June Jones as head coach
Is he starting or a backup to Masoli?

If he were to start, he would throw for 5000+ yards under June Jones or close to it.
