It's only been 51 years since the last great pro Heisman-winning QB. With those odds, how can Johnny Clipboard possibly not end up in Canton.

You need Roger Stauback's phone number? Manziel should be playing because...A. He outplayed Hoyer in the so called competition, and...B. He gives the Browns the best chance to win...RIGHT NOW.Former NFL player Bucky Brooks is spot on here.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000381221/article/johnny-manziel-should-have-been-cleveland-browns-pick-at-qb

Backed into a corner? Really. Anybody who lays claim to Manziel winning the Heisman as a 20 year old is ...well...a fucking idiot. It's that simple sweet cheeks. As John McEnroe would say. "you cannot be serious" "The chalk flew up". LOLOLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQ_Ja02gTY

Footwedge;1646370 wrote:No, fat boy...the Manziel backers want what is best for the Cleveland Browns right now. And no...he didn't look like complete shit in the preseason. That title belongs to Hoyer. I posted the numbers. You forget that Manziel didn't make even one bad throw in the Detroit game. Can Hoyer say the same?Like I said above, Pettine is sackless and he placated to the national pundits...like Esiason and Jaws, instead of awarding the job to the guy that performed the best so far.
Why the fuck would Pettine start Manziel when Manziel himself said he wasn't ready???

Driving in and flipping stations, I caught a piece of 92.3 and good old Chuck Booms, wishing & hoping Hoyer fails so his boy can get in there. But of course he says "I'd never wish anything bad for the Browns" while he's already guaranteeing Hoyer will be 0-3 by the bye.

Not a whole lot of choices for sports talk in Cleveland. Was posting that, mostly as an example, to show some of the idiots that we have as "fans."

Sooooo, its been a week now (since last week it was reported the NFL needs another week to make up its mind) and we are 1 day away from the 3rd preseason game (which the NFL also said they would make their decision in "timely matter" aka by the 3rd preseason game). Why has there not been a decision on Gordon?

Maybe he was thinking of that movie where two ex-Cowboy QB's (Roger & Aikman) become lovers? You know, "Stauback Mountin'?"

John Feinstein on the CBS Sports Minute today said it's a sure bet that Manziel takes over in game 4 this year. In fact he said that Manziel taking over is a higher probability than Otto Graham arising from the dead and playing quarterback this year.Any respectable football coach would play the player that won the competition. I quess Pettine wants to please Hoyer's Cleveland based parents here. Little league anyone? Anyone?

Manziel also said that no one should take his comments out of context....which you clearly have. He made the comment 3 weeks before the opener numb nuts. And what he was saying indirectly was that he will be ready in 3 weeks.What J Football should have added..." I may not be ready yet, but I've proven by the numbers to be more ready than the undrafted free agent out of Michigan State".

Every game Manziel played in winning the Heisman was done as a teenager. So yeahf you idiot, I'll be happy to take your action.

Any argument you had is ruined because Feinstein is a fucking retard. He also tried saying that Nascar should be able to tell their drivers they can't race in dirt tracks in THEIR OWN time. I've never agreed with his stance on any CBS minute cuz he's a retard.

He just said it again yesterday that he still wasn't ready.

On Hoyer being named the starter:
"Obviously I didn't want this to be the outcome," Manziel said. "But at the same time, I didn't necessarily feel I was ready, I felt like there were steps that I needed to take, and I need to take, to get better."

You want someone that thinks that leading your team right now? You are an idiot.

Cool. Great. Wonderful.

So, some dude on CBS Sports Minute says it's gonna happen, that means it's going to happen? Do you realize how retarded you sound?

Just pay up if you lose.

I will say though the things Manziel did against Alabama makes me a firm believer that he can be a great NFL QB. He is made for a midwest franchise though, that swagger and personality he has could make him a legend in Cleveland
