Isn't it ironic how many are convinced JFF will not make it as a pro QB and at the same time profess how much they trust this current staff to make all the right decisions. Does that include their assessment that he was the only QB they felt could play earlier than any other selection out there as well as taking him as the best long term prospect?
Logic on this board eludes me. I don't see a lot of it concerning trusting this full staff selection at QB.

Most of us Browns fans (those without the words Texas, Aggies or Johnny in our forum name or description, and who have been here before May 8 2014) trust where the new FO has us headed, but we are not anointing Justin Gilbert into the HoF just yet. We all have high hopes on all of our draft picks, but we all realize it's still just hopes.
As where all you fans of a player, who proclaim themselves as "Browns fans" L M A O!!!!!! act as though JB has already won as many Super Bowls, as he has had kooool InstaTwitter posts this week.

....really? Are you really going to pretend that's anywhere close to what JF has done? Lol

@mike-h said:
I don't even know what that means, but it's provocative.
quality does not = quantity.
if we were to compare my BAC it should be based on the latter.
i didn't know you made it to australia? thought you were just going to hawaii?

I agree with this as well. He's in the spotlight, he needs to be more careful.
But, something to ponder...what do you think would have happened if the technology we have today was available when Joe Namath was drafted? What about when Marino was drafted?
This age of connectivity means anything can be recorded and put on the internet at any time by any one. It's no longer "don't want to be on tv, avoid reporters." Now it's "don't want to be tv, sit in your locked house with the windows drawn."
That person probably didn't want to be posted on The Browns Board. But now they are. And that only took 2 seconds. Imagine if that was a Heisman trophy winning quarterback with his friends in a bar.
To a certain extent you're right- but as Mik said- there's people in the world with a higher profile than Manziel who manage to go out and have a good time without getting their pictures plastered all over the internet. He needs (or Haslam needs) to get Giudo the cell phone stomper every time he heads out to party. & Like I said Luck and Manning have the keycode to the private entrance to St. Elmos. They can go into the basement party room, get shitfaced drunk- or have an orgy down there, get back into the limo- and no one saw a damn thing.
JF had better realize the stage suddenly got one hell of a lot bigger, now that he's graduated to the NFL. Sure, have a good time but realize the paparazzi are going to be on you like stink on shit. Choose who you party with carefully may be a good suggestion.
Yes- it's way different today than it was in the Namath and Marino era. Or going even farther back than that to the (cheatin' womanizing) Kennedys.But the whole nature of reporting has changed- there was a modicum of restraint back then- now, it's anything goes.

I don't trust that even if JM did as Luck and Manning do, that some of the sleazy media wouldn't make up a story and slap in a picture from their files. It seems the dye has been cast and the feeding frenzy is on.

Johnny Manziel hasn't done anything wrong. Get off our QB's dick and buy yourselves a dildo. I hope to God that he's a "In your face, bitch!" type player and gets the media's panties all in a bunch. Fuck em, they've been hating on Cleveland for the longest time, so, nothings changed. It's just that we've now got a QB that says, "Fuck you, you bitch, bite me".
I fucking LOVE IT!

Hello everyone, Daddy's back.

Tony Grossi's article gets completely overlooked. He says that Manziel has been exemplary in meeting rooms and on the field. Nothing but professional in his approach. He said he had palpable leadership qualities. Why doesn't this get air time. One guy, asks the question, "Is the guy working?". But nobody wants to hear the non-bs stuff. They want to hear what they want to hear. One paragraph, in one article, buried immediately, because it doesn't sell newspapers, magazines or gets website hits.

Because a bunch of people having a mid life crises feel the need to bash Manziel because they are afraid to address their own deep seeded superiority issues.

what up walt?
but no to your post. it's more like it's time for a kid to become a man and act responsible. every JF fan wants manziel tobe the face of the franchise. do you realy want the money phone guy to be the face of 'your' franchise?
if you say yes then you are just as irresponsible as he is. and it's got nothing to do with he hasn't done anything wrong. he hasn't. it's not against the law to look like a moron, drunk on a pool float.
but you sure look dumb as hell.
i'd like to hear from his own mouth that he might actually be listening and he might try and do some things differently. right now he's giving cleveland fans the big FU by saying he's going to do what he wants. ask JT and JH if they do things the same way.
-
well we'll add you to the list of caring so much to respond to people that do care about THE BROWNS so much.
i don't care if manziel is 16, 20fuggin6 or 51. if he's a part of the team i love i expect professionalism.
you might think that acting like a bafoon outside of team activities is fine, but it shows lack of immaturity and just plain stoopidness on his part and anyone in his camp.
at this point i truly believe that everything he does is calculated and meant to generate more light on his brand. his agent is no dummy. in fact he's one of the shrewdest biz people in the game. you really think he'd let a lesser celeb type player get away with the shit manziel does?
make the money now guys cuz nothing is guaranteed past opening day.

Which is more idiotic?
a. complaining about the legal actions of a 21 year old not at work
b. yelling at a cloud
c. talking on a money phone
It's just weird some of you care so much.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Johnny Football meet Johnny hot dog.
A minor league baseball team in Ohio now has a hot dog on its menu in honor of Johnny Football.
The Akron RubberDucks say the ''Johnny Footlong'' is a tribute to Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.
The hot dog is topped with Texas chili, shredded pepper jack cheese and hot sauce. It costs $8.
The Browns play just up the road from Akron and selected the Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M in the spring draft.

miktoxic, no i don't care about what players do off the field. i really don't. (unless they are breaking the law of course)
at some point you're going to figure out professional sports is nothing more than laundry. something i thought you might have picked up on after lebron took his talents to south beach. if you expect "professionalism" then you're going to be disappointed, not just by manziel though.
we agree on manziel and his brand building. i don't think the money phone was meant for that but the swan, no doubt. i wouldn't give the agent the credit though, johnny did all of that before his agent came on board. and it's worked.
the truth is this is summer, part 2. all of these critics said the same exact shit last year and johnny went out and proved them all wrong. saban even mentioned who they prepared for wasn't the qb they saw and gave johnny an enormous amount of credit (for preparation).
this is his process. work hard, play hard. it may not settle well in the liberal mindset (an unapologetic straight white male from the south/$) or the conservative one (act like you been there before-quit acting so black), but us libertarians (the moral superior) fucking love it. He does his job. He does his job well (so far) societal norms be damned.

The staff initially had 'Bridgewater' on the card on draft night..
