Gotcha. I met Tim Saturday at a thing the athletic dep't was doing for agents and current players. When we talked about Mack and the negotiations he never mentioned Marvin.

Wow those in the know realize Manziel is a rare football talent. And now we know that he is smarter than Peyton Manning to boot with his Wunderlink score. Go ahead and fuck it all up Farmer.

Wunderlink? Do only the Breowns players take this test while the rest of the league takes the Wonderlic?

Also, with Peyton scoring a 28 on the Wonderlic, and Eli Manning scoring a 39, I wouldn't put all my eggs in that proverbial basket (the test) as a success predictor.

I mean Ryan Fitzpatrick got a 48 for crying out loud, Alex Smith got a 40. By your logic JFF will be a worse QB than these two but better than Peyton Manning...which breaks the laws of physics once again (similar to your Breowns and playoffs math last year).

I love Footwedge. He might be the best source of pro sports related comic relief on this site.

Yeah, Classyposter has made a run at it but still has come close to Footwedge levels. I think one of the biggest reasons I come on the Browns threads are to see the stupid things Iggy and Footwedge post.

I've always liked Burleson as a complimentary player. He seems like he will be a great locker room presence and professional for the younger guys to emulate.

He really helped Stafford and complimented Calvin Johnson very well.

Agreed it's stupid. But I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Maybe they should call them right now and offer it. Tell them the Internet says it's a good deal and they should take it

After all I have been reading I won't be surprised to see the browns trade down. If Watkins falls to them the might be able to get a small bidding war. I see them trading down the furthest to the lions spot.

Gil Brandt ‏@Gil_Brandt 6h For clarification, Johnny Manziel will work out for #Browns this weekend in College Station, then visit team's facilities next week.

So who's the idiot from the NFL network that says that Manziel is a bad fit for Cleveland because of the cold weather? Really? Cold weather? He says Manziel will only do well in a domed stadium? Really? LMFAO. I guess Brett Favre failed miserably on the frozen tundra. He played in Lousiana. And what about HOFer T Bradshaw? He also played in Louisiana and obviously couldn't handle Pittsburgh's weather.

Bart Starr? Joe Namath? Both Alabami boys. Shoulda played in a dome, huh?

Where does ESPN get these hacks?

This clown also said he saw Manziel make some bad throws. Gee...ya think? He completed 71% of his passes last year. Obviously. Manziel stunk the other 29%.

I'd like to know what ESPN pays that clown.

But back to J Football. Triv was saying yesterday that if the Browns land Manziel, you would not be able to get a Browns ticket 1 week after the draft. And he would be correct.

Go ahead Farmer....make my day.

Espn or NFL network? Make up your mind.

Also Bradshaw and Namath are the most overrated HOFers.
