Manziel

I think the guy has his head on straight this time around. Of course there is still doubt about that, but I think he could be our QB of the future. I know 90% of people will think I'm crazy, but I think we should give him a look. It's the perfect situation really. Brees is probably the best leader in the NFL, and would be perfect for Manziel to learn under. Also, they are both short QBs

Walks like a duck ...

The CFL is probably his possibly his best route if he ever wishes to play in the NFL again.

Probably, and I doubt we sign him tbh. I just think we should. I think the guy is going to surprise everyone.

Hard to believe he’s still only 25. Kudos to the young man for addressing the demons. Sean Payton did seem to take some interest in him when they got together for breakfast a little while ago. New Orleans loves a good redemption story too.

Crazier things have happened.

Yep, as expected.

Is it healthy for him to take on the high-stress role of NFL quarterback now that he's revealed he's been diagnosed as BiPolar?

I think he is. I think he seems pretty determined to turn things around.

Bipolar people can do just fine in a high stress environment. In fact they can thrive in it. Especially when they stick to their medication. when they think everything is smooth and easy and stop doing the things they need to do to stay healthy is when they run into trouble. Under stress there isn’t time for that.
As long as he’s treated by the team doctor and sticks to his meds the stress may be just what he needs.
The right combination of meds can completely change who a person is. Especially if they had been self medicating which I suspect he has been doing.

I don't ever see Manziel succeeding in the NFL.

One, even though it appears he has his head screwed on straight now, he is one binge away from reverting to the old Johnny Football. Can't see the Saint's putting money or the team's future on him staying straight.

Two, he really isn't an "NFL QB". He succeeded at A&M as long as he was able to get outside the pocket and buy time for receivers to get open. Teams that were able to keep him in the pocket (LSU) typically shut him down. QB that have to get outside the pocket to succeed have very short NFL carriers. Russel Wilson is the exception.
