Crazy Start to 2014 Season
-
As of this writing there are 16 teams at 1-1... and with the right winners after MNF there could be 20.
Undefeated include Buffalo and AZ...
Winless include NOLA and KC...
Geno Smith owns a league leading 82.1 completion percentage while DA is 3rd at 70.6%.
A rookie RB out of Townsend in tied for 3rd in rushing yardage with 168.
Our D has allowed 450 ypg... only ATL's has allowed more (472). Both teams are 1-1...

I see no reason to make any defensive adjustments/moves whatsoever because we won today. So obviously we can win the entire season allowing almost 500 ypc.

Open Duck Season starts soon (Oct 12?) so Hoyers deep ball will be in-season.

that's pretty funny lol. Did Hoyer really throw any ducks though? I didn't see that. I just saw off mark passes on easy throws. But then he made some really nice throws in tight spots. Those easy throws he missed though were drive killers. He was a lot more accurate last year I don't know why he's having issues this year.

He's not perfect, but I dont see issues compared to last year....he looks just the same or slightly better...
2013 Passing PCT=59% Passer rating = 82.6
2014 Passing PCT= 60% Passer rating = 87.9
So, actually a bit better. And IF we're gonna rate him after 2 games, then lets compare fairly....right now, his passer rating is #6 in the AFC and is currently rated higher than:
Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Peyton Manning
Andrew Luck
Phillip Rivers
And he is now 4-1 as a starter on a "supposedly" horrible team.....
He's doing the job he's supposed to be doing.....

He threw one maybe two ducks. One was early on, he threw deep, intended receiver was rounding at about the 5-yrdline and the ball apparently was so wounded like that no one could judge where it was gonna come down and it hit 10-15 yards away from everyone. Can't believe that wasn't better played by the Saints.
All-n-all I'm just yanking chains. I love the kid. Love that he is local, that he's winning ball games, a great kid and well schooled. Kid has a lot of distraction to funnel out with Manziel in the house (actually in everyone's house on the TV set and on sports center). I'd like to see lasers though on the intermediate routes though ... who wouldn't?

Ate-near-everything is just carrying over a "discussion point" from another thread. A point we did not even disagree upon...

Great post. Hoyer is doing fine. Better than fine great even. What more could we expect of the guy?
Drew Brees is spectacular and where are the saints?

We faced two of the very best QBs in the league. Only the names of Brady, Manning, Rodgers may be better than Brees and BR. Now comes Flacco...who, quite honestly I do not rate as highly as the two we just faced, not that he cannot be very good.

And the 1-1 count now stands at 18...
Speaking of weird...
The scroll at the bottom of the screen on ESPN last night included an item that read:
"Manziel: 0/1 passing; Handed off twice."
Laughed so hard I almost woke the wife. When in the history of the game has a QB's hand-off count been noteworthy?

looked like a gyroscope trainer for astronauts.

When a team is so dumb they only let their 1st round draft pick in the game to hand the ball off twice. It's noteworthy because the Browns are benching the most exciting player on the team. BTW, nice drop there Agnew. Kudos to Brian Hoyer for making the most out of his opportunities, I have been impressed with his play thus far. But let's be honest, most people would agree they'd rather watch Manziel win than Brian Hoyer win. Unless you are a Cleveland homer, then you'd want the local boy to win, I get it.

then you'll get it when i say fuck off and get lost.
hoyer has played great except for an inept 1st half of the first game of the year. manziel got a taste of the speed and action at this level (not pre-season) and i'm sure he was happy to go back and take the clipboard before he got broken in half.
so let's change a winning product (hoyer 4-1) for a guy that you followed in college and believe that 'everyone' would rather watch him. it was pretty funny last night and today to see all the talking heads that called for manziel to be the starter, do a 360 and actually make fun of his performance.
i'm sure there'll be more of that to follow if shanny continues to try and ween the kid into the nfl by inserting him into every game.
now that is stupid.

Sounds like they wanted to convey how many plays he was in on. Like he was basically given a series. I did notice all 3 plays were shown in a highlight thing l saw.
-
I'm all for Shanny play action packages with Manziel....I think giving him 10 or so snaps a game isn't a half bad idea, depending on the team. But yeah let's not carried away, he's far from being able to run the offense the entire game. If a team spent all week prepping for just him it would get ugly quick.

THAT might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.....why would a win from JFF be better than a win from Hoyer?......makes zero sense.
And the "most people" you mentioned are not even fans or people we care one cent about. Just a bunch of Johnny groupies that we wish we never had to deal with....and, yes, FANS of the Browns would prefer a home town guy, but would love ANYONE who wins.....
It's just the JFF lovers who aren't happy with Hoyer wins, not Browns fans.....

You do realize that Agnew wiffed on a block, rolled on the ground, then got up and found the flat before Manziel bounced a pass off his palms, right? Not sure I understand the gyroscope comment. If you pick-up the play just after Agnew bounces himself off the ground, he appears open and Manziel appears to bail on the pocket early, but considering it's his first ever regular season pass, and Agnew came off the floor to pop up open, it wasn't a bad roll-out to buy time ... AND Agnew very much should have caught that pass.
The ball had no wobble at all, wasn't rocketed and wasn't floated. Again, not sure what the gyroscope reference intention was all about.

The offense was stale for a few series before they gave the nod to Manziel, and although Johnny didn't physically spark the play, the tempo DID change after the experiment. See below, sequence leading up and sequence after the Johnny Football experiment:
