What's Next for Johnny?

Many have said it long before what has transpired in Cleveland. Johnny Manziel is no good, and won't ever be any good. Yet, the Cleveland Browns took the chance on Manziel and tried to trust him. Time after time, Manziel let his fans, family and organization down. 

The latest news involving Manziel is the most disturbing news to date. No, there was not a video of Johnny pouring down drinks, no gambling in Vegas, no tailgating parties. Something much more troubling happened last Saturday. 

The woman who labels herself Manziel's ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, accused Manziel of striking her several times. The details are even worse. Crowley claims that Manziel threatened to "kill us both" while driving on a busy highway. The situation got out of hand to say the least. It truly opened our eyes to realize that Johnny Manziel, the person not football player, needs serious help. 

This is actually the second time Manziel is being investigated for a domestic dispute. News now comes out that the Cleveland Browns plan to move on from the quarterback in March. Even Manziel's agent, Erik Burkhardt, is parting ways with Manziel. This is stunning to witness as just two years ago, agents across the map were dying to be employed by him. 

The ball is really rolling down hill for Manziel to say the least. 

Yet, too many stories or articles online take the negative approach to things. Now, that being said, there isn't much positive to hang your hat on when discussing Johnny Manziel, but we will take a look into what the future may hold for the 23-year-old quarterback. 

The only true way the quarterback can get back into the NFL would be to stay clean. This is obvious. It is looking more and more likely that Manziel may not play at all this following season, as his beloved Dallas Cowboys have said to have no interest in him. 

If Manziel takes a step back from all the limelight, which is clearly hard to do, he can have a shot at the NFL in the 2017-2018 season. The kid has tremendous talent, which is not the problem. If he can stay out of the news for an entire year, the chance a new team takes a shot at Johnny would be a good one. 

The real question is, does he want to? This man's future is solely in his hands. More news broke out recently that Manziel's father, Paul Manziel, tried to get his son back into rehab, which the QB declined. Twice. This further hurts his image. 

For Manziel to truly make it back to the league and fulfill his potential, he will have to stay out of the news. That being easier said than done. There is a sense of vulnerability seen within Johnny. If your average heckler was able to get into Manziel's head, how can you expect the man with presumably no job in the NFL to stay quiet? 

It's look like its going to a tough road for Manziel, and as a true fan, I personally wish him the best. Nonetheless, his future as an NFL quarterback is slowly but surely dying out before our own eyes.
