Gary Clark Fan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He parted ways with Oregon last year. Don't really know under what conditions. Don't even know if he will try to play football or not. Actually I ran into Mr. D several weeks ago at a party for my uncle (dexter and him go way back and actually attend aa together) anyways i happen to ask him what happened to his son. I mentioned I hadn't heard about him at Oregon and he told me he left and was playing at a lower level some community college and that he was goin to try for the nfl. I didnt get into it with Dexter about why his son left Oregon but he did tell me that he did play football this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 If he can be picked up for nothing as it appears then we should give him a try if just for the genetics angle. Add in giving a past great's son a shot when he might struggle to get one and it's a no brainer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Manley, Jr. should be around in post-draft free agency if he chooses to try for the NFL. Sitting out last season hurt his stock badly. I'd say sign him if he gets to post-draft free agency, it can't hurt, and we may be in for a surprise. But otherwise, pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 QFTIT's funny though voicekiller, its always usually people like him that have the REAL problems so they try to put other people down who have public problems to hude the light from shinng on their own. like i told him, i hope he never has to deal with any problems in his life. I hope his children grown up and become drug addicts and then he has to be forced to learn it's a disease, not a decision. some people man.. :bsflag: With all due respect and love for Dexter Manley Sr., I disagree with your assertion that it's a disease and not a choice. He made his choice the first time he snorted coke and choose to keep using. He could have stopped. He could have looked in the mirror and said to himself, "Hey! I'm rich, I'm famous, I play for the best damn NFL team ever in the league. WTF am I doing?" He choose not too. And while I have sympathy for him, and I'm happy that he cleaned up his life - I don't want to hear that it was a disease. That's a poor excuse. "Help! I can't stop because I have a disease" is easier to say than - "I ****ed up. I know I've disappointed you all. I'll clean up and make you proud again". Far too many people are willing to blame "a disease" rather than facing reality and "making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves". We all have defects of character. How we choose to admit them and face them is what really determines who we are as people. And thank God that Manley Sr. was able to ultimately show how much character he had. :applause: I'll get off my :soapbox: box now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his choice to do it yes, he did not consciously make the choice to become a full blown addict the first couple times he did it. After that it was probably too late. Alcoholism and addiction have been proven to be hereditary. It is referred to as a disease by almost every rehab clinic out there. You can have your opinion, but I hope it is a researched and educated one and not just some feeling you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 he did not play at oregon this past year That's why I was having difficulty searching for him, hoping to get stats and player performance background on Dexter Jr. I would think he will not be drafted by any team. I really don't know if he qualifies for the draft. If he does, he could become a UDFA and try out for a team, maybe the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Does he come with a cocaine addiction? Pretty classless remark there. Dexter was a great Redskin and it was too bad that he bad a drug provblem, he should be a Hall of Famer considering the let LT in and he did Coke too. From what I heard Dexter Manley Jr. learned from his father's mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 What about Dexter Manley Jr. DE Oregon, they have him rank in top 20 D-lineman, he's 6'4 260-280 depends on which web site you look at, his speed is 4.5 in the 40 he still a little raw but I think he would be a good pick-up in the 3rd round, if he can be anything like his father was on the field I think it would be a steal. What do you's think.:logo: I don't know where you are getting your information from, but Dexter Manley, Jr. did not receive an invitation to compete at the combine. So, my question to you is: does Manley, Jr. qualify to be drafted? According to some other posters, Dexter, Jr. left Oregon and attended a junior college.

Siven Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I hope his children grown up and become drug addicts and then he has to be forced to learn it's a disease, not a decision. some people man.. He made an ******* comment, but you know what, you just took it a step lower and just made yourself look like an *******. :applause: on preaching against someone for making a stupid comment and then you took it even further.:doh: Some people man..... yeah your right....... some people never learn from others mistakes, just like yourself. You should be ashamed, wishing harm on someone elses children to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney26 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Why is everybody getting their panties in a bunch over a little joke?? Some of you need to get a sense of humor.....Especially the one that made comments aboout the guys children.....That was classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SearchHorizon Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Why is everybody getting their panties in a bunch over a little joke?? No one is getting their panties in a bunch. People are simply disapproving of a bad joke that tries to elicit a laugh at someone's expense, someone who has had difficulties in life. The fact the poster was merely trying to be funny is no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinskinsfan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 a free agent pick up, you can't go wrong with...never know whats going to happen once he gets some NFL attention coaching wise...if he has at least his dads motor, might be worth it..

adamyesme1111 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He might not even get drafted...so drafting him in the 3rd round would be absurd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamyesme1111 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Haha...its hilarious how people are jumping over that guy for saying does he come with a cocaine addiction. I actually laughed at it, grow up guys. I swear people look for anything to be offended about...Like if you guys are Dexter's cousin or somthing :laugh:. Sure it was probably a rude thing to say, but all of you are acting like you are Dexter, and taking it personally. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fourth King Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't really like how people want to draft Marcus Monk or Dexter Manley Jr. based on last names. If that was considered talent, then would Calais Campbell fumble the ball every time he didn't get enough protection? That was a really bad joke.

Chump Bailey Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I would love to have Dan and Vinny bring in Dex Jr. in some manner. I would love to see him get a chance to play the same position and for the same team as his pop. I think he would be very proud of his son were that to happen. I hope he gets a shot a somewhere but I think it would be a classy move for Vinny to invite him in for a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
