***Official Browns @ Lions Preseason Game Night Thread***

[VikesGuy05]

Manziel made some nice throws and one decent run, but he has two alarming tendancies.

1. He looks at one read and then runs. The Ponder syndrome.

2. He puts his body in harms way.

He can learn to slide, but it is tough to break that first habit.

I saw 3 field goals to this point.

Not too good against the likes of Detroit.

Hoyer with the 1st team couldn't get into the endzone.

Manziel did fine with the scrubs.

The defense needs to learn to stop that running play, otherwise they played fine.

No touchdowns and we have a CLEAR favorite, folks.

Because browns

[USFBrown]

Was hoping to see shaw instead of thigpen.

Need some cheese with that wine?

I like JF. Just hope they bring him along the right way. Not put him out there cause the media and fan hype is too great. I doubt they offer Hoyer a contract to have him be a backup this year. JF sitting and learning for a year while being on an NFL training regiment. 2015 take a wrapper off a stronger, faster, and smarter NFL ready John Football. Now that would be exciting!!!

You've been reading this board enough to know they are going with the local career backup, while hedging by saying Manziel needs time.

That way, when he eventually takes over, which is what you plan to do when you move up to take a QB in the 1st round, they can say "oh we were on board with Johnny all the time".

[USFBrown]

From what Ive seen, the CLEAR favorite is thigpen. Dude is a stud.

[cdl15]

I've counter about 6 wr drops 3 for Hoyer 3 for JF. That shit gonna get old real fast

You're all the same. Your name is definitely fitting.

This is hard to understand. Maybe if u get more than a dozen posts under it belt ill be easier to understand. I didn't want JF because I thought there was no way in he'll they'd get him late in the first round. I'm a Brown's fan period. And I absolutely love this FO down to the coaching staff. I believe whomever they sign , draft, start or sit will be the correct move for the first time since 1996.

[cdl15]

Ogabonnnaaagaabs says no TD for u.

[cdl15]

Seriously. Qbs are throwing for 5000+ yrds and 50+ TDs a year. And the nfl is becoming more stringent on what corners can do???? What a fucking joke

[D Bone]

curious, why not join us in the tavern?

[Adoug319]

Same old Browns... Lol

[cdl15]

Ehhh

Agreed. I saw no reason to put Hoyer ahead at this point... and i am definitely not a "JF bandwagon fan", I am a lifelong Browns fan. Before the draft, I said Manziel wasnt even worth a 3rd round pick, but I'll admit when im wrong and this time I think i was wrong... this kid looks like he COULD be real good... why waste time starting a career backup when we have a potential superstar waiting to get in there? Ego is the only answer i can think of...
