  • Yes, Manziel is taking over Cleveland, but that other thread had gotten FAR too long. Post away, from your Friendly Moderator team. 🙂

  • Johnny Douchebag

    My work here is done

  • Doubters lacking in knowledge? I'd ask you to try and enlighten us, but you've already done that to no avail. It's known who he is and what he's done, but it's different now at this level.

    If Manziel is the one to lead us to the promised land...so be it...go Johnny go...

  • i really do hope this guy is the fran tarkenton of our time, if not better.

    i would just ask everyone who is a fan of the browns or of JF himself to let the coaches coach. i really doubt that the organization picked him to fail. i have faith in the coaching staff to evaluate and make the decision of who starts and who doesn't. doesn't mean any decision is set in stone.

  • Can someone explain to me how the MLB draft works? Because SD drafted Manziel in the 28th round....isn't that just wasting their pick at that spot?

    It would have been sacrilege for any thread to overtake the Hot Cheerleader thread, after all, no?

  • Damn Johnny dick suckers.

    Not enough that 1 thread is devoted to him, now he has two.

    You cocksuckers obviously swallow.

    Yes i am an excessive Johnny fan. Yes i am a Browns fan because of #2. Yes i believe he will start day 1. Yes i believe he will lead Cleveland to a winning record. Yes i think doubters are lacking in knowledge. Money Manziel fans unite! Be proud, be loud! lol

    And what if none of that occurs? What if he, like all rookies should, spend at least half the season on the pine? What if Brian Hoyer actually looks good and has the team winning such that it appears that JFF stays on the bench for a while? Where will your rooting interest lie then?

    Don't get us wrong....everyone wants JFF to succeed and lead the team to the promise land. I don't think this team drafted JFF in the first round for him to sit on the bench.

    But we are not without knowledge...just confidence. We know that highly touted #22 overall QB draft choices can sink like the Titanic.....can you say Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden. And I know, you are going to say that JFF is not Brandon Weeden or Brady Quinn. Well, I sure as fuck hope not. We have been burned going down that trail too many times.

    Once, twice, three times bitten, a dozen times shy babe. (courtesies to Ian Hunter).

  • Few more... I think...

    2. The QB named John who is #17 in career TD passes (note: not Elway or Unitas) Brodie?

    5. The John who is 4th all time in scoring: Carney (sp?) the kicker

    7. The only WR named John who is in the Hall of Fame: Stallworth

    8. The only TE named John who is in the HOF: Mackey

  • 9. Ogden

    11B. Taylor

  • How is it that the Johnny Manziel fans can't answer the Johnny Manziel questions. I know one is esoteric...though they should know who JFF is associating with these days. But the others they should be able to get. Hmm.

  • The Cleveland Browns are sticking to their word at the quarterback position.


    Coach Mike Pettine told reporters Thursday that rookie Johnny Manziel will stare up at Brian Hoyer when training camp opens next month.


    "When we put the depth chart together, Brian will be No. 1," Pettine said, per NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala.


    While acknowledging that Hoyer's play has been better, Pettine noted that Manziel will see his share of first-team snaps and still has a shot to win the job, saying: "I don't think it's insurmountable."


    Manziel has struggled at times with his reads and progressions during offseason sessions, with observers noting that his decision-making and release need work. The former Texas A&M star has shown a tendency to stare down targets, but he's alsodisplayed more athleticism and quickness than Tyler Thigpen.


    The more experienced Hoyer has shown a faster release and looked "far superior" making second and third reads, per Kinkhabwala.


    Twitter erupted when Manziel fumbled a snap under center on Thursday, but his rockier moments are nothing more than a reminder of the growing pains all rookie passers encounter.


    While no quarterback competition will generate more attention this summer, we don't take much stock in the pecking order on June 12.

    Probably because there arent that many.

  • Oh geez, not another one!

  • Here are the questions unanswered with a few hints:

    2. QB ranked # 14 with 244 career TDs? Hint: Played for the team that Steve McQueen was chasing in Bullit.

    4. Only Johnny in Top 20 in career Ints. Hint: When he played during his recently inducted HOF career, he was usually packing.

    9. Who is the other OL besides Ogden named John. Hint: Played most of his career for the team named after a Mel Gibson movie set in S. Carolina.

    10. Name the one DL named John that is in the HOF. Hint: Played mostly for the team that Ragnar Lothbrok would have played for.

    12. Besides Madden, Rauch, Harbaugh and Gruden who is the other HC named John to coach a team in the Super Bowl.

    Hint: The NFL is played on his network

    13. C. Whose SEC total offense in a game record did Johnny Manziel beat? Hint: it is embarassing for the guy that had it that one of his kids didn't do it before JFF did.

    D.The question that is esoteric to me: What person now associated with JFF did I have to twice fine for speeding? Hint: LRMR

    E. The question that is esoteric to me, somewhat, and to those who are supposed to be devotees from the Lone Star State: Who is the largest employer in JFFs hometown of Kerrville TX. Hint: I mean like, yo, wtf is the matter with all you shitkickers down there that you can't get this.

    14. What other Heisman trophy winners besides JD Crow, Cappaletti, and Rodgers (and JFF) were named John?

    Hint.....there are 3 others.....and they all played for Notre Dame.

  • There are 13 posts on this thread so far.

    8 of them are from Johnny Manziel detractors/ doubters.

    2 of them are from Gipper, who is seemingly neutral.

    2 are from a Johnny fan...the same person (Everlasting).

    and 1 is from Zombo, who posted an article about how Johnny may become the starter.

    Yeah, but it's the JF fanboys that do all the JF posting, right?

    I thought it would be OK to post an article about the QB competition here, but I'll try to post all actual football related posts in the Barber Shop from now on.

  • i really do hope this guy is the fran tarkenton of our time, if not better.

    i would just ask everyone who is a fan of the browns or of JF himself to let the coaches coach. i really doubt that the organization picked him to fail. i have faith in the coaching staff to evaluate and make the decision of who starts and who doesn't. doesn't mean any decision is set in stone.

    One post does not an opinion make.

    I was going more off the 800 other posts you've had chastising the JF fanboys. Do I have to go find them?

    That was the point, Zombo.

    This is the "new" JF thread and there's been exactly one post about JF as a football player, while the remaining posts are from his haters bitching about how much people post about him.
