He believes they just don't trust him to be there when he keeps having all of these off the field issues, and is constantly in the news. As he said, "the only time we want to see you in the news or on tv is during post game pressers and at a charity event." Food for thought.....it's OBVIOUS Pettine has grown tired of his antics. Also, he cannot play from the pocket at all. That was made painfully clear last night after a simple halftime adjustment made by the Bengals. Kid is doo doo.
I totally agree with Faulk. The off-field stuff makes it difficult to trust him as the face of the franchise. If he had his shit straight off the field, I think they'd be getting close to putting him out there.
Fwiw, I think Manziel was decent last night. He had zero run game. The 2nd half he looked bad, but honestly they were down multiple scores and became one-dimensional. Kinda hard to judge him off that.
Making him strictly a pocket guy probably isn't the brightest move. That's not his game.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
