OTA Early Report (Which Means Nothing)
-
The NFL is all about preparation. Hopefully, he can learn from Hoyer, who learned about preparation from the best in his days in NE.
Success in the NFL is all about pre-snap reads. That comes from film study. After Vinny Interceptaverde went to the Jets, they were
shocked to learn that he didn't know how to break down game film--he watched game film like a typical fan watches a game.
Johnny has a loooong way to go. It's not just about learning the playbook. He has to know/understand what each players responsibility
is on each play. He has to know when to remind the tackle to pick up the guard because the guard has problems with a particular block.
If JF approaches this the right way, he'll be mentally fried by the end of the season. I for one am not looking forward to him being thrown
to the wolves early in the season just because he's a first round pick and we didn't draft a player in the first round to sit on the bench, etc.,
etc., etc. Let the kid learn and realize exactly what it takes to be a successful QB in the NFL.
I terribly want JF to be successful and lead the Browns to the promised land. But putting him on the field before he's ready is not the
way to go about it. John Elway's first NFL start was against the Steelers on the concrete in Three Rivers Stadium. He didn't make it
through the game.

And on a non-Johnny Football related subject...
Of course Josh Gordon caught everything thrown to him... he's potentially the best damn WR in all of football... I'm waiting in anticipation of his pending suspension and, as always, hoping for the best news possible... Would love to see him win an appeal and be out there week 1, but I've conceded to the fact that he won't be there until the second half of the season at best. Gives JF a reason to not rush to the top of the depth chart when his best weapon might not be on the field...

Anyone else hoping we just have a dull offseason next spring?

So Manziel works with the 3rd stringers while the other guy..."Bridgewater" is taking snaps with the first team. I truly think we got the wrong guy..should had stuck with the original name on the card and what their studies said instead of over-reacting to a text crying for help.
"Both Schefter and GM Rick Spielman said on ESPN Tuesday that Bridgewater has been the "first one in the building and last one to leave" every day since the Vikings drafted him. A known football junkie, we don't think it'll take long for Teddy to learn the system."
"Vikings coach Mike Zimmer told NFL Network that Teddy Twatwater will take first-team reps during OTAs.
"Teddy's been great," Zimmer said. "He's had good command of the offense. I like his leadership. Throwing the ball well. He's progressing at a good pace." The Vikings were impressed with Bridgewater during minicamp and he hasn't shown any issues picking up Norv Turner's offense to this point. If Bridgewater outplays Matt Cassel this preseason, he should be the Week 1 starter."

Your hate for him is well know, but he is a Brown now so STFU.

Weeden outplayed McCoy and won the starting job for week 1. That went great.

The blitz is when Johnny shines.
But I agree he needs time and has to make lots of improvements.
One thing not being reported is him staying until after midnight studying what they are asking him to study. And being there bright and early for workouts.

He is really banging all the Steelers wives and girlfriends. They love Johnny Football.

Let's face it--the national media only wants to report controversy. They're dying for him to say something that they can
spin as disrespect towards Hoyer and show that yes, there is a QB controversy in Cleveland. Whenever ESPN does a
report on Cleveland, you can see the barely concealed smirk and the subtext that the Browns will find a way to fuck this up.
It won't change until we start putting some ass-whippin's on other teams.

Yes....that's his job. He really deserves no praise for doing his job.The blitz is when Johnny shines.

Sounds like you don't know how to handle dissent, Walter. I've seen maybe 3 people across 4 boards vehemently despise johnny. You're hyperbole is just sad, cause it suggests you're not paying attention to reality.
But that what kids do nowadays....live life in a bubble.

I thought this was an OTA report????
Mariota, McCoy, Weeden???...In OTAs???
I guess some folks 1st love is beating dead horses.
Can we get rid of the past, look forward to THIS season before we get lost in next season? Please?
So much for this thread..it went to hell real early.
