  • Nobody expects the pressure to disappear now do they?

    I mean do you think #6 feels like his job is safe all year no matter what?

    If the Browns win, or he plays well when the teams lose. Yea I expect JF to sit the whole year. Maybe last 3 games if we have no shot at playoff.

  • Lol @ Browns fans. You guys are so short sighted. I'm not going anywhere. Have fun taking pictures next to my statue in 10 years.

    I can actually believe this is John Football.

    Players in the Nfl are faster than those at Duke and Vanderbilt

  • I'm excited to see Hoyer against the Rams Saturday knowing he's the guy. Distractions are behind him now and he can play likely the whole first half with our starters and not doing the stupid alternating series crap.

    ^+1. I'll be there. 🙂

    Yup... was really the only decision to make.

    While Hoyer did not make the throws against WSH, he remained poised in the pocket and with one exception made the reads. Add that we know he can make the throws and there's the decision.

    While I am still concerned that the pressure of the competition may have gotten to him, hopefully a 3-game commitment (I doubt he gets more) is enough to get him on track.

    Here's to a good week of practice and a solid, home preseason opener...

    Thinking Hoyer was trying to be too perfect with all the pressure on him.

    he sure earned it....not....hoyer sucks.....now the browns get to lose their first three games......

    so you reward the hometown sweetheart who played like shit.....oh yeah, that makes sense....

    Yeah, and Manziel could do soooo..... much better. Better listen to Boomer Fan Boy..... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24667689/boomer-esiason-if-manziel-starts-vs-steelers-hell-get-his-ass-kicked

    I know Manzeil has been disappointing, but he is leaps and bounds better than Hoyer. Hoyer has better composure but he is struggling to hit anything past 10 yards. He has had at least 3 passes that should have been picked and he hasn't even played a full games worth of snaps.

    If we want to win now Manzeil starts the season opener.

    Manziel is still struggling big time with the playbook. As above Esiason thinks Manziel "will get killed" if he starts against the Steelers. He couldn't handle the Redskins vanilla blitzes. Care to take a guess what he'd look like against Le Beau's disguised ones? Le Beau is like 13-1 against rookie quarterbacks. Start JFF, and you can make that 14-1.

  • It's a 3-game tryout for Hoyer.

    I heard you flipped off Pettine when he told you Hoyer was starting.....

    It's the coaching staffs job to put these guys in the best position to win. If Manzeil is struggling with the playbook he is either not committed and will be a bum, or shannahan needs to pull back the reins.

    The key to us winning is a strong running game and a stout defense. That offense doesn't need to be super complex.

    All I'm saying is Hoyer looks horrible.

    No one would disagree that Hoyer doesn't look like he did last year. I'll be the first to admit he's been flat out lousy. Fifty something qbr.

    If Shanahan is trying to fit Manziel to his complex playbook, JF will likely fail.

    One point I hadn't thought of that came up on another forum- there's a possibility Hoyer, Manziel, and the Browns offense looked so horrendous against the Redskins #1 defense is____________ Well, they practiced against Shanahan's offensive scheme all last year, and they were ready for it.

    Excellent point. Perhaps he should make some adjustments.

  • Its PREASEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I kno rite.

    Regardless of Hoyer looking bad in the first two pre-season games, he played limited time and first game-speed play since almost a year ago when he tore his ACL.

    Honestly, the whole offense has looked terrible in the pre-season nearly across the board (nearly*). Manziel has not been an exception.

    Gordon's also looked awful in the first two pre-season games, if anyone's noticed.

  • what ever happened to the "you got to earn it" bullshit pettine was blowing up our ass..."3 and out" hoyer didn't earn anything but the bench....but the homey is starting.....pettine is an idiot with no experience with an offense...that's what's painfully obvious.....i guess if you grew up in cleveland, you've "earned it"....pathetic....

    This is why I come back....I love the manzealot melts. Doesn't matter how terribly unprepared the Lil guy is....its everyone else's fault cause they didn't cowtow to scrambles.

    So sad how many of you think all a good QB needs is athleticism. So detached from reality....

    Carry on....I had a bad day and need some laughs...

  • i guess going 3 and out all the time and scoring zero touchdowns is what the browns' management calls "earning it."

    wait, you're a manziel fan right? why on earth do you want him starting this year? do you want to see ur guy get utterly killed? I like him too which is why I want him holding a fucking clipboard till December quite frankly. He's just getting around on the playbook...it'll be another few years before he has a handle on reading defense's. FFS. Yes Hoyer isn't gonna do a whole lot better but at least he can see what's coming and try to get his o line in the right place for it. Johnny will get blindsided if he starts now.
