Pick6;1645843 wrote:I'm open to opinions, but someone please elaborate on this "sit Johnny til the bye week" logic. Is it because you don't want to "throw him to the wolves"? Sorry, the Steel Curtain is a shell of its former self. Looking at overall D, New Orleans is surprisingly ranked 4th and has a pretty solid D backfield. Ravens D has dropped off as well. Or do you want him to get more reps before he is ready? Not sure going against 2nd team an extra 3 weeks will help much.

Not agreeing or disagreeing, just trying to understand the logic.
I know those defenses are not very good but, right now, Manziel is a deer in headlights. They need to let him get acclimated to the game. We've already seen from his little hand gesture that he gets rattled and is pretty immature. If you get "butt hurt" over a "this is the NFL, we're faster than you" comment, you're a little thin skinned. How do you think he'd handle the $19.33 foam middle fingers with the "welcome to Pittsburgh, Johnny" logo on it that they are selling in Pittsburgh for Sept 7th?

Hoyer is 30x the QB Manziel will ever be. I would just go ahead and trade Manziel for a 3rd rounder before the season even starts. He will never do anything in the NFL.

False. Welfare isn't considered "wages." ;)

I got it as breaking news to my phone also.


It's a smart move, shut everyone the fuck up and get the focus off the QB battle.

Nah, that is shocking but the fact that Charlie Frye is on there for 2006 & 2007, is even more dumbfounding. Weeden was horrible but he wasn't Charlie Frye horrible.

Delhomme was the worst. Sign a 35 year old coming off of an 8 td, 18 int season to be your starter.

May have to pick one of those up that weekend, but I bet I could get them down to selling two for that price!

Are you saying that because he picked Cleveland to have the third worst record in the nfl?

Yes. Every article he writes he shits on the Browns for this or that.

Before last season he was shitting on Joe Thomas, so now anyttime I read a PFF article where Thomas is the #1 rated LT (aka every tackle article), or BSPN Article, etc... I send it to him. He has yet to respond bc he's a sack of shit.

It's not entirely improbable that Cleveland & Buffalo fall at #3 & #4 but I get his point that he's pissed at Risdon for his anti-Cleveland bias. Florio from PFT used to be the same way.

Browns won't be picking that high this year. The panic after a 2nd preseason game is bringing the lulz here.
