    If he's in shape, and can learn to throw the CFL football, he'll actually do really well with all that space and his ability to scramble/run. He was apparently throwing it really well though at practice.

    I doubt he'll do well though.

    Hamilton has been setting cameras up behind the QB's so that Manzel can take virtual snaps on every play. He's barely seen the field yet, but that's due to the big CFL differences. A lot more spread formations, gaps between receivers & routes he's already commented he's never seen anything like it - plus all the pre-snap movement he's never seen before. So far, he's doing/saying all the right things.

    But 3yrs away from football, is still 3 years

    And he wasn't that good three years ago when he was playing regularly.

    And being a Browns QB had nothing to do with it either....

    Kid struggling with Demons got drafted to a bad situation. You'd think if he went to a winning team, or one with a Brees/Rodgers/Brady level of QB things would be different.

    it probably had everything to do with it... as soon as he put that jersey on, depression started to seep in. that opened the door for demons to creep in. I might fall apart to if the Browns drafted me.

    I can't tell if you're joking, but the kid has issues. Grew up in Texas, played ball in Texas, always won, people loved him (the majority), goes to a team that is far away from his family, starts to lose and he spirals. Even if he was on another team that would lose, you'd think a team like the Patriots or even Cowboys would be there in some way. Browns, just kinda happens?

    Oh well, this guys not starting for a while in the CFL anyways

    86% joking. There's some truth to Cleveland Browns depression. If he goes to the Pats, he's still on the Pats and is a back up... cuz well, Brady is Brady and everyone tows the line there. Not sure Dallas is a good example. A lot of Cowboys have done a lot of stupid things in Dallas.

    I went with Dallas cause he's from Kerrville Texas (4hr drive away from Dallas). Albeit he's just as close to Houston...but at the time Houston wasn't a good team either. But Dallas kinda was.
