Its too bad you guys dont talk football as much as you talk about how much better you are than Manziel fans.
If you want to talk football, we can talk football. It's a two way street. Sure, some A&M fans follow the NFL too- but I doubt they've followed the Browns as extensively as most of us here have. Let's just say the average Browns fan is as knowledgeable- perhaps moreso, about the Browns as A&M fans are about Manziel, OK? Better is a bad choice of words.
What irks us (and it's the reason WW got a timeout) is the extreme JF fans who can't stand any legitimate criticism or questioning of his talents, how they translate to the NFL, and go blasting other posters on top of it. If fired upon, some of us will return fire.
The point has already been made if Manziel had no flaws in his game, he would have been the consensus #1 overall pick, and certainly wouldn't have fallen out of the top 3.

I'm waiting for the guys that keep beating their chests about how this is a Browns board and how they talk football here....to start.
Really havent seen much Manziel talk from Manziel lovers except in this thread.
Of course, if you try to discuss Manziel's football pros/cons, you get told this is a Browns board ad we talk football here.
So, wake me up when that starts. K?

Our job is all about spin and numbers. We can decide who we want to push to be the face, sure. But that doesn't make him the face.
Agree... my original and only point was that it is premature. To push Manziel at this point when he is not even assured of being a starter, let alone a bona fide NFL "star", is ludicrous.
Well we need to come over and tell you. You have no idea what its like having a good football player for once. Your clueless to good football period. In fact im not sure you know the game of football. So glad to come over and help out.
Thank you, Capt. Humble...
And yet, the team is named after neither of them.
Knew that was coming...
FYI to our newbies... "Browns" is short for "Brown Bombers" which was the nickname of boxing great, Joe Lewis.

Sucks because this is a Manziel thread and it gets shit on by the haters and insecure posters.
lol... have you read any other thread? It's not like folks automatically fall in line on any other topic.

Dear god, my dad lied to me then, i was told at a young age while living in Massillon that it was after Paul Brown, But Paul did like them being named after him.

My account of the origin is from a source I read years ago, and found to be believable. But accounts do vary...
Here's the one at the HOF:
"CLEVELAND BROWNS - The Cleveland All-America Football Conference franchise conducted a fan contest in 1945 to name the team. The most popular submission was “Browns” in recognition of the team’s first coach and general manager Paul Brown, who was already a popular figure in Ohio sports. Brown at first vetoed the choice and the team selected from the contest entries the name “Panthers.” However, after an area businessman informed the team that he owned the rights to the name Cleveland Panthers, from an earlier failed football team, Brown rescinded his objection and agreed to the use of his name."

see this is how it works on a forum.....
you see a thread about something that you are interested in and you look at it and if you want to say something, make a post.
do you know there are other threads on this forum besides the manziel thread?
i mean there are discussions going on right now about josh gordon

talk about our defensive backfield
http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29456
if you want football action talk that doesn't happen until there's actual football being played. this is the down time of year. it was pretty exciting pre-draft. should've been here for that. there was plenty of JF chatter then as well. when training camp starts and we start hearing what's going on, i'm sure there will be real football talk. right now it's talk about JF (cuz no one can ever stop talking about him) and what you are cooking on your grill.
if you want to go back and rehash some A&M games and bring it into the discussion, feel free.

Yeah I know.
I'm surprised there is as little JFF talk as there is on this board, TBH.

Every message board is like a gradeschool playground. Avoid the bullies who think they rule the board and try to jump in every post to "mark" it with their scent. Usually some mocking comment or put down. Once you realize who they are, you just avoid them or ignore them.

All y'all just want to make this like Entertainment tonight and talk about a guys personality.
In my opinion, there is nothing to talk football about JFF until he starts playing football. NFL football. We can talk all we want about what he did in college...and I guess that is fine,....but meaningless. Right now he is just the dark side of Tim Tebow.
When he puts on Orange and Brown in August, then there will be something to see. And hopefully it will be good. Until then, to quote the Bard.
It is all Sound and Fury, signifying nothing.

Yea, except it was Paul Brown himself that came up with the Joe Louis story....probably so that he wouldn't seem so venal....even if he was.
Yea, the name of the team is The Browns because of Paul Brown. It is also because of Paul Brown that there is another version.

Secondly, its "yall".

I wasn't talking to just you. I was talking to everyone. The plural of y'all is All y'all. Every southron boy knows that.

Actualy, It IS "y'all"...
it's more a southern slang contraction for "you all".
I don't know what a "yall" is. I'm open to suggestions...
