No I think he's serious, it even had a bump after Manziel's status changed in real life. 

What did it change to: "not as high/drunk today"?

This whole thread is very sobering.

Okay, let give the OP a chance. 

Letitgo, give me five reasons using a roster spot for Manzel  would be a benefit for the organization. 

1. Millennials defined as those ages 18-34 in 2015, now number 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million Baby Boomers (ages 51-69) is the generation most reflective of younger football players such as Johnathan Paul Manziel. Millennials are the new fan base and ticket holders, Miss marketing to Millennials and football dies.

2. Joe Flacco is moving to the end of his career as other great quarterbacks like Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger Sr.  Ravens need a younger quarterback in the wings.

3. Manziel is a playmaker that finds a way to win. He brings a spark to the backfield that is needed for the Ravens.  Third and fourth downs options are limitless with Manziel at quarterback.

4. The new NFL quarterback must be able to pass and run.  Merely sitting in a pocket is not enough; defenses are too quick, never enough blocking.

5. Price - Manziel is a diamond in the rough: train him, don't blame him.  The right GM and HC will pick him up for a dime and make him shine.  The Ravens have the solid player management framework for Manziel to excel.

This is stupid. Theres no good reason to bring Johnny Manziel back into the league. Even if he gets clean, he's still not talented enough to waste a camp spot on.

LOL, you had to ask K-Dog. Well there it is.

Let's break it down to short form:

Millennials think Flacco is old, can't pass or run especially on 3rd & 4th downs and costs too much. Done!

As far as Manzel coming here, I say just Letitgo.

1. Millennials stopped liking Johnny Manziel a long time ago.

2. Flacco is at least five years away from being in the back end of his career. QBs like him routinely play into their late 30s in the modern NFL.

3. He WAS a playmaker in college. He has shown zero play making skills in the NFL, and he's certainly not a "winner". You'd be hard pressed to find a QB in this league that wasn't a "winner" in college.

4. Not even remotely true. Its a myth supported by no evidence whatsoever. 

5. Doesn't even remotely fit the mold of the type of player this franchise wants.

You made 5 points, but they were all bad one's and made no sense whatsoever.

Thanks, I needed another good laugh

Manziel would have won this game, hands down.  It was not Joe's day, for the second week in a row. Ugly. Joe at least you can read - get two blockers for you int he backfield or hang it up.

Go away.

Moderators, close this thread, quite frankly it's an embarrassment to the fanbase, this guy should have his thread creating privileges revoked posting a new topic for every moronic thought that comes across his head.
