5 NFL Teams Who Need a Little 'Johnny Me'

The most polarizing figure in college sports will have a new place to call home in May. He's exciting, he's lucky, and he's a little bit bad.  Johnny Manziel would electrify any NFL stadium with his on and off the field antics. He's not afraid to ruffle the feathers.  Some organizations need that fire.  Some need an athlete that will put butts in the seats.  Here are five (pretty bad) teams that could use a little Johnny Football under center.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jags passed up on a golden opportunity to fill up their stadium when they passed on Tim Tebow.  They could have saved that franchise for Florida, instead they're likely to be the first one's to bolt when LA opens their new stadium.  Manziel could change that, though. Come on Kahn, make a move that someone will actually care about.  Unless, of course, you want out of Jacksonville.

4. New York Jets

The Jets past few quarterback experiments have been disastrous.  It may be safe to say that their best quarterback last year was Matt Simms, yes, Matt Simms.  That's pathetic.  Geno Smith is awful and is probably going to stay awful. There was nothing that made me think any positive thoughts about him last season.  Start fresh with Johnny Manziel, Rex Ryan.

3. Minnesota Vikings

I wish I could think of a Vikings quarterbacks over the last several years, but I can't.  They've all sucked.  Go get Johnny Football. Imagine the Adrian Peterson and Johnny Manziel tandem in that backfield.  That would be a force to be reckoned with.  That place can get loud, too.  The Vikings are only a quarterback away from being good.  Unless you want to see AP out the door soon, Minnesota, then go get Johnny Football.

2. Dallas Cowboys

I'm not sure if I agree with this choice, but I'm not sure I don't.  Romo has been a hell of a quarterback, like him or not, but he just can't win that game.  That game that needs to be won to get into the playoffs or advance in the playoffs.  It's fair to wonder if he has reached his ceiling.  His ceiling may be 1st round playoff out.  Jerry Jones would pull the trigger on Manziel, no doubt.  It's a long shot, and I don't think it's going to happen unless Johnny falls to a later round, but damn would it be exciting.

1. Houston Texans

This is where the real hype is.  This is where the fans want Johnny.  This is the perfect situation.  Matt Schaub is done in Houston and Case Keenum didn't necessarily light it up last year.  Johnny could bring the Texans right back to prominence in the AFC South, one of football's weakest division.  The Texans could be looking at the perfect storm, just like the Colts when they got Andrew Luck.  Do it, Houston.  Draft the biggest star in the short history of your franchise.  With all of the high picks you've had, this could be the biggest.
