Boomer Esiason: "If Manziel starts vs. Steelers he'll get his 'ass kicked' !"

Boomer Esiason isn't particularly high on Johnny Manziel. (USATSI)


Brace yourself, because we're in for a lot of Johnny Manziel. After an uninspiring effort against the Redskins Monday night, the Browns' quarterback situation is as murky as ever, but that isn't the story after Johnny Football gave the Redskins' bench the finger late in the third quarter.

Honestly, we don't care but plenty of people do, including former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, who works on CBS' NFL pregame show and also hosts a radio show on WFAN in New York.


“I'm telling you right now, he is not even remotely close to being ready,” Esiason said at the top of Tuesday's show. “If he opened as the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh in Week 1, he would get his ass kicked. And his ass would be driven into the ground. Because I'm telling you, other teams hate this guy. Hate him.”


But this is about more than Manziel's middle finger. It's about, well, everything, from the partying, to the trouble at Texas A&M to the entitled attitude, to this text Manziel sent the Browns on draft night: “I want to wreck this league together.”


Esiason was predictably unimpressed.
"Yeah, OK. You're gonna get wrecked, son,” he said. “You know, the NFL is about as unforgiving a place as there is on God's green earth. It is a men's place. It is for people that have a very, very strong constitution. Whether or not you can handle it is going to be determined by your maturity level. And right now, this kid is a baby.”

The Steelers have already lost against Tebow and Pryor in the last 2-3 years....The steelers must not be too confident

I think we have the speed at linebacker to keep that kind of running QB contained now. Johnny Football isn't getting away from Shazier. And Johnny isn't built like Pryor or Tebow in terms or getting up if someone hits him hard enough. I really wish we still had Harrison who was very good at welcoming guys like him to the league. The problem for Manziel is that he'll have no real offensive weapons (his one real weapon, Josh Gordon, will face some kind of suspension) so Johnny will have to make things happen with his feet. I think defenders will be licking their chops at this notion. Not just us, but Baltimore and Cinci as well. If this kid starts week 1, he's gonna have a rough first season.

After that finger missile debacle in Washington, Manziel will get his ass kicked by anyone he faces, let alone the Steelers.

The rest of the NFL knows about him now. They know they can get under his skin, and they will.

From the Steelers play last night, Manziel would kick the Steelers Ass week one. See: Tim Tebow, Terrelle Pryor.
