    Not here to make any friends. I have plenty of friends. I needed a place to vent my displeasure with taking a spoiled, undisciplined punk QB at 22. People can agree with that opinion, or not.

    You're an asshole who came on here for no reason except to hate on our number one pick for QB so fuck you dick sucker.

      I'd like to make a motion to the mods to lock and block all discussions pertaining to our starting QB until preseason at least. Doable?

          The espn/media hype will be way to great for them not to start JF. Hoyer will be ridiculed on every throw.

          Your probably right, hoyer is gonna be under a microscope. BUT I seriously doubt that the coach or FO is gonna throw JF in just to appease the media or fan base. If they have shown me anything over the last few days its that they have a plan and they won't divert from it because of pressure from outside. They had a plan for the draft, and they will have a plan on how to determine who the starting QB is gonna be and that's how it will go.

          !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

            Still trying to figure out what in the hell is going on with this FO now... Seriously.

            If they knew about Gordon and Burleson and did nothing to even TRY to answer the WR problem at all.

            With Gordon gone, that is easily 15-20% of our scoring for the season.

            I don't know how Little is still on this roster either. Suddenly, we look worse than we did at the beginning of last year with Weeden and Richardson. And that is sad.

            Couple of OT points here. We have Little, Benjamin, Hawkins, and busted arm for WRs. Like my Bengals (season ticket holder) fan said today as I was making the wino rounds, "who's Manziel going to throw to , himself?"

            Hoorta, how do you feel about Gordon?

            I am POed beyond belief. Maybe he can beat it, maybe he's only in stage two (the Browns surely know, but they can't say). But kid- show a little restraint. A screw up is going to cost you tens of million$$$. Lay off the weed until you retire- you'll have enough money by then to buy a pot ranch in Colorado.

            And I really, truly, don't get what in the hell the Browns were thinking- they knew damn well about the coming suspension, they had Watkins there for the taking, and passed? WTF???? I'm not the first to say this- is the tank the season to take Marriotta or Winston with that extra first rounder? If you're in a "win now" mode, how in the hell are you going to "win" knowing your #1 offensive weapon is gone for an extended period?

              Hoorta,

              You know better than to insinuate they would "tank" a season. They stuck with their plan & the players they have acquired this draft do NOT indicate they will "tank".

              I strongly disagree with you on this, but you ARE entitled to your opinion.

              Mike

                Manziel coming out and beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh week 1 is a nice story and all but Lebeu losing to rookie QB's doesn't happen let alone their first game ever.

                  Coach pettine said he couldn't see s rookie beating out Hoyer for the.starting.job. this.was only a week ago. They knew they were drafting manziel or bridgewater or bortles so ergo there's a good.chance manziel will not start this season. Period.

                  Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                    Fan expectation and media expectation will not cause him to start, either. Look at the draft. If they felt the pressure of expectation, we would have picked a WR. Instead, they nailed 6 picks and set us up with 10 pick for next year. If he starts, its because he won with no question that he's better, and even then, it will only be when they feel he's ready enough to not be an injury risk. Im glad Shanahan got the experience he did with RGIII. That will be reflected in how they go about this process. Expect that.

                      Johnny football will meet the same fate as pat white one hit and done. Hoyer is a professional and should a will start. Johnny will be a distaction and will bring the team down. He's a cry baby and if he does play and loses he will spiral into a state of notingness and take the team down with him. The best thing for Cleveland is to get him out of there as quick as possible to Washington for Kurt cousins, it was a absolute terrible draft once again Cleveland fucked it up 10 picks to start down to 6. The worst draft I have ever witnessed. Sad. They should have pick Watkins, dennard, Hyde now they have nothing but a circus. Guess hasslim wants to fill seats and does not care about building a winning team.

                                So you want to trade johnny football for a guy who's name you don't even know? It's not Kurt cousins

                                Retard. It's KIRK cousins. Kirk cousins. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

                                    I could understand if you were funny, or witty, but neither fit. It must seriously suck to be you.

                                    I don't understand how you're real. I feel bad, but there's not much I can do to help--like the dude sleeping in a sleeping bag downtown when we leave the bar. I mean, I'd like to help you, but you gotta help yourself a little, man.

                                    You mean the street dude that inspired Haslam to draft Manziel??? Sorry, Mikey... wasn't me...

                                    I knew somewhere a bar was playing a role in the fueling your delusions of being the next Grantland Rice. I mean no one person can naturally have an ego as large as yours.

                                    But if you really want to help me, you could check into the Betty Ford upon your SoCal return...

                                    I/we get a break from your lectures as we digest the draft.

                                    And you get sober and perhaps a little humility...

                                    I'd call that a win-win.

                                      i feel it's gonna be Hoyer. and should be until Johnny Franco can beat the blitz on a consistent basis.

                                      that's all he's gonna see until he gets past it is blitzes and containment.

                                      seems a lot of these suspected college fans are apparently not the most educated NFL fans. this is the AFCN...and if rookie QB's could step right in and be productive we wouldn't be on our like 22nd starter or whatever. probably 50 been through here including backups. think about that Manziel fans. maybe a slow approach once the line is gelling and he knows his receivers and the playbook might be a better approach for pro ball. i do realize he beat out that Showers guy his freshman year 😄 but still...he's never once seen the brutal headhunters like he'll face every week in the NFL. preservation > impatience.

                                      if Hoyer only starts one year and is at .500 or above it's a win. he achieves a dream playing for his hometown team and if it's Manziel time he'll show it. and if Hoyer plays another 5-10 years for the Browns backing up a franchise QB that's not such a bad gig either.

                                        For some reason after all that this particular line cracked me up.

                                          Johnny football will meet the same fate as pat white one hit and done. Hoyer is a professional and should a will start. Johnny will be a distaction and will bring the team down. He's a cry baby and if he does play and loses he will spiral into a state of notingness and take the team down with him. The best thing for Cleveland is to get him out of there as quick as possible to Washington for Kurt cousins, it was a absolute terrible draft once again Cleveland fucked it up 10 picks to start down to 6. The worst draft I have ever witnessed. Sad. They should have pick Watkins, dennard, Hyde now they have nothing but a circus. Guess hasslim wants to fill seats and does not care about building a winning team.

                                          I don't understand fans like you. If you don't like a guy, that's fine. Why do you feel like you have to insult the person (never heard anybody refer to JF as a cry baby) and make assanine statements? Kirk Cousins? Because of one good game? Trade a potential superstar for a back up, makes sense...... The dude is a Brown now. I root for EVERY player and hope they succeed. I wouldnt give a shit if his name was Andy Dick as long as he plays hard and can help this team win. Give it time and see if he can prove himself. The Johnny Football persona is 100% media driven, coach Pettine even said that himself in a presser either today or yesterday. I watched the JF introductory presser and the dude IMO comes off as a humble young guy who wants to bust his ass and do whatever hes gotta do to get better and win for the Browns. Just calm the fuck down and have some patience.

                                          !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!
