I still think Jerry Jones will want Manziel

If not, Arizona. Cleveland has already passed on him twice

We were wrong.

Looks like someone was able to tell Jerry Jones to STFU

impossible

not that you cant say it to him, but he could never understand and respond to it

So at the end of the day, there just are not that many slots open in the NFL, much less room to excel there. Even the best can come up short. Some statistics from the NFL players association web site;

"Statistically of the 100,000 high school seniors who play football every year, only 215 will ever make an NFL roster. That is 0.2%! Even of the 9,000 players that make it to the college level only 310 are invited to the NFL scouting combine, the pool from which teams make their draft picks."

It is a darwinian process. I never got past high school ball.
