How Do You Handle Johnny Football?

Featured Replies

I'd let Alabama humble him in a few weeks. Still try to win the game but Bama will take care I a lot.

He needs an old school Coach who will slap him up side the head. He's a jerk. I hope Clowney or Bama light his ....you know, up.

???? Let johnny football be Johnny football. The rest of this thread is funny.

I like Sumlin a lot, one of my favorite "young" coaches...but he can't let disrespect from QB stand. He needs to get his attention and get it quickly or he may lose respect of the rest of the team. You know there are Aggies that are fed up with JM too.

 

Exactly, I feel the same way about Sumlin but have lost respect for him in that area. To his credit, he did bench him after Manziel ignored him but I would send a message by sitting him the entire game this week. Seems that at least from the outside looking in that "Johnny Loudmouth" is just a spoiled brat that thinks that he is above everything and everyone. The first time that something goes wrong and/or when (not if) they lose - that's when his teammates will no longer back him. Should I be one of the O linemen and the game in hand then I believe that I would let him know just how things work by conveniently letting the defense by me / miss a block, fall down, etc. and let him get his butt ran over a time or two just to show him "who needs who" on this team. Then tell him "hey man, I'm just a college kid".

I write off some of his antics as him being a little wound up. I punish him behind closed doors(coach owes media and fans nothing).

 

IF he then continues such antics again this week I yank him during the game.

 

My guess is those antics are over with.

That's fair. Good points.

I wouldn't be surprised if their are a few inside the A&M program that wishes the NCAA would have suspended him for a long time so they wouldn't have to deal with the immature idiot.

 

After seeing him in the first game and getting so riled up after such little heckling he won't be able to handle it in bigger games against what other teams will do to get under his skin.

 

He is a first class punk who will never learn.

 

If I was his coach he'd be sitting at least the next game. I thought he embarrassed his team and coach with his diva attitude.

 

He seems to be getting worse.

Based off what? No hard proof he got paid.

 

I agree here. Yes, I certainly believe that he was paid. Cash = NO paper trail.

The guy begrudgingly signed an autograph for one of his former teachers. He surely won't sign 4400 autographs for memorabilia brokers at one time just because he's a nice guy.

I think Clyde and Hellbird both make good, but differing points.

 

 

I think that at this point, "Johnny Football" is a runaway train that is destined to crash.

 

I am just of the opinion that his actions are beginning to snowball, and if it's not one thing with him, it's another.

 

The real test will be seeing how the team handles a loss.

 

 

Look at Tyrann Mathieu. The "Honey Badger" persona became something larger than life, to the point he was no longer "Tryann". I'm really glad that Mathieu recovered and seems to be back on his feet and doing well, but I thought he was much more humble and mature as a football player than "Johnny Football" (or Manziel) is from the perspective of showboating, taunting, listening to his coach, etc.

Also didn't one of the brokers say that he paid him but that he would not cooperate with the NCAA investigation?

Kick him off the team! He should have been suspended for the year.

 

For a specific action may I ask?

I'd put one of those dog training collars on him with a remote control. Every time he starts yapping, I'd give him a few volts in the neck...they don't call them training collars for nothing.

pretty much.
