Arizona seems like the most logical spot for Johnny Football to me. Arians didn't mind it when Big Ben broke plays and accepted him for his natural abilities. Bruce could roll with a player like Manziel.

Big Ben is Big Ben because he is a rare breed of qb who can hold onto the ball for a million seconds, get clobbered all game long, and somehow stay mostly on the field. He's missed a lot of games, but it's amazing it hasn't been more with the damage his body has taken.
The guys manziel made miss in college are going to be faster. The guys who hit him will hit him twice as hard. Arians will take advantage of his skill set. He will also get him killed. So any takes on manziel have to figure out... Is it worth the lottery ticket of letting him freelance with the high likelihood he will get hurt? Or do you develop a limited game for him to run a more conventional offense that keeps him healthy, but probably won't lead to much success.
