The man's biggest virtue was loyalty. He never wanted to leave Cleveland under any circumstances. Any other player would give everything to play for Peyton. Thomas deserved a ring, even just one playoff game. Still, the man loved Cleveland and stuck to his team. That's loyalty.

I'd say Manziel needed more commitment than most quarterbacks of his built. His failure in the NFL is that he couldn't out-athlete linebackers or safeties. He needed to become a real quarterback, and he probably wasn't willing to put in the time to strengthen the cerebral part of his game to make up for the deficiencies in physical ability.

I personally played at Tivy. I know you have to go over the coaches head. Yes, there needs to be a play for everyone else ; however, when you have a quarterback like Manziel, you have to let him shine in his own way. That is something the Browns never did.
