No. I've watched Manziel play for the entirety of his college career though and when he wants something, he is a fierce competitor. TBH this whole narrative that has been cooked up around him with him getting himself better. I think it makes him a better player because he wants to prove people wrong.
So he goes to Canada and has two great seasons. Then he's on the open market at age 27, is still barely 6 foot, and is still not an NFL-style quarterback. Still not marketable.
And this is all contingent on him staying clean and out of clubs.

The lasting memory of his NFL career will be him walking across the stage rubbing his fingers together doing the money sign

Even if he is successful in the CFL, I don't see him getting back to the NFL. The game in the CFL is very different (rules greatly favor the offense), but more importantly, the level of competition he will play against in Canada is not even close to what he would see in the NFL. The number of success stories in this category is very small and I don't see Manziel anywhere close to being exceptional. Good luck to him though....his presence will definitely help the CFL get exposure south of the border.

I'll probably catch a few more CFL games because he is there. Maybe looking for a train wreck. I used to be a HUGE CFL fan back in the day. I was Admiral of the Pirate Armada, the fan club for the Shreveport Pirates CFL team back in the '90's. Pretty cool getting to rub shoulders with the head coach and Hall of Famer, Forrest Gregg. And Billy Joe Tolliver (ex-Saints great ) was the starting QB one year. But the coolest of them all was the place kicker, Bjorn Nittmo. He came to every one of our meetings. He kicked for the NY Giants and appeared on the David Letterman show multiple times because Letterman love saying his name ... Nittmo.
