Interesting Options Developing in Browns QB Situation

wow! Are you going to do something nasty to her? Why Tuesday?
I think he meant to read closely & abbreviate! LOL

yeah I know just messing with Walter, plus he may be a bit of a hair trigger so I guess I don't really know.I think he meant to read closely & abbreviate! LOL

I just really hope there isn't an ounce of truth to Hoyer wanting JF out of here just cause he's a threat. If I was Farmer and sitting across from Hoyer and heard that I'd be like hey Brian, remember the last time you went down? What happened?....we had to hand the team back to that name that shall go unspoken in the halls of Berea for the rest of time. Would really rub me the wrong way to have a QB in the NFL try to strongarm my franchise out of having what could be one of the best QB situations any team has had in a long time. Maybe not Farve/Rodgers good but I don't think anybody thought Rodgers was gonna be quite as good as he turned out.

man what a bunch of reactionary ninnies.
another media driven bunch of crap?
man, let the browns FO people do their jobs, let hoyer continue playing and ride him until he drops.
what he said was he wants to play for a team where he starts. he will, until either manziel's skillset surpasses hoyer's (which i i find highly unlikely) or he gets hurt.

Completely false. Unless the Browns make the playoffs Manziel will start at some point next year regardless if Hoyer is healthy. PTI spent time today mapping out what everyone, other than Browns' fans realize.
And before I get called a Manzelot or troll, I think Hoyer has been excellent and in no way deserves this situation. I was not a fan of drafting Manziel. The cold hard truth that everyone outside of Cleveland realizes, you don't draft a QB in the first round, especially with the hype of Johnny Football and keep him on the bench for 2 seasons unless you have the guy you want to be your QB the next 5 plus years.

If you were Hoyer would you want to look over shoulder ever two game losing streak? Or worse know that the GM/Owner's guy is always waiting behind you? Professional sports has a bit of a science to it.
Look at Matt Cassel and Kirk Cousins. Cassel plays well and New England immediately ships him out because they have their guy and there is no need having a great backup. Washington keeps Cousins and RG3 has to listen to the talk about replacing him and then he gets hurt and you realize you should have sold Cousins when his stock was high, just like New England.

looking over your shoulder....welcome to the NFL. Do we hear any of the D lineman complaining about the depth there? That their starting roles might get taken from them? What's best for us right now is to have JF on the team, no question. If you're Hoyer, you shouldn't care who's on the bench cause you'll beat him out every year.

If Manziel is on this roster in 2 years without a single start and the Browns haven't won a playoff game Farmer will be searching for new employment. And yes QBs are different than DL, who are different than special teams players. If Hoyer plays well and the Browns go 8-8 or 9-7 he will want to get paid and go to a place where he will be the guy for the future. Teams like Oakland, Jets, Titans, etc. will line up for him.

No one knows what (if anything) Hoyer has said, or in what context it (if anything) was said. Also no one on this board knows what goes on behind closed doors. If Hoyer did say something concerning Manziel, one would assume there must be a reason. We could speculate all day long what that reason may be. Does Hoyer really see Manziel as a threat? I doubt it. All I know is , here we go again with the QB controversy bullshit. I believed in Hoyer last year, I believe in him this year and I believe in him going forward. All I really know about Manziel is he's here and has done nothing, zero, zilch, nada, for the Browns but make a spectacle of himself. Maybe therein lies the problem.

if hoyer wins us more games than any other starting QB has since '99 and we finish either in the playoffs or close to getting in..........
flash forward to next year's TC when hoyer is signed and he still is decidedly better than manziel, you're telling me we're going to take hoyer out and start manziel just because he was a first round pick?
GTFO. that makes no sense whatsoever.
i see you threw in make the playoffs. what if we go 8-8 this year after finishing like shit the last 5 years? you're going to call it a failure?
all i know is this shit is the last thing we need at this time to fucking have the fans and team divided over one player or another when the browns have their best looking start in years.

It is sad how the Hoyer Homos are so ready to get rid of competition.
I embrace Hoyer. He is playing great. I just don't understand why they are so eager to get rid of Manziel? Why do they care who is backing him up unless they don't want him beat out?
Go Brian.

The only divide I see is Hoyer fans anxious to be rid of competition. I like Manziel, but I am perfectly happy with him on the bench. I am not calling for Manziel to play. We don't have to make that call for 2-3 years.
I say wait a while to see how this play out. How is that unreasonable?
-
Too add to Miks point...
We've been so qb starved since 99 and haven't had a consistent, winning qb. To finally have one, and then give it up for an unproven one? Never in a million years. No matter how much potential johnny has

Drew Brees, Brett Favre = Hall of Fame, maybe both 10 QBs of All Time. I like Hoyer but he's not even close to their league.

Of all the QBs drafted in the first round in the last 10 years name the ones who did not start at least one game in one of their first 2 seasons?
Aaron Rodgers, who sat for 3 years behind a top 10 QB of All Time in his prime

Give a Hoyer a 4-5 year deal. It's possible that for the final 2 years of that deal he's the backup...nobody knows. He should get paid, not Peyton Manning paid mind you but paid nonetheless. If he has a problem with Johnny Manziel sitting on the bench waiting to step in for him than Hoyer isn't who we thought he is. He wants to be the man, fine...but to be the man you have to stay the man. If he plays like shit for an extended period he's going to get replaced...that's football. I'd rather him be replaced by someone like JF than Connor Shaw. We've got Manziel on the cheap for a couple years till his rookie contract runs out. Let's give Hoyer the team until Johnny has to be let go, traded or resigned. If Johnny has made serious improvements and looks better than Hoyer in TC, well than guess what? He's gonna start. If he continues to play better than oh well I like Hoyer but it is what it is. Whoevers better gets to start.
-
Hoyer should be signed to a deal, he's earned it. He's the clear cut starter and damn good QB
If Hoyer refuses to sign due to Manziel being on the roster, that's about as childish as you can get and putting himself in front of the team.
I'm not worried at all, Hoyer will get signed to a 4-5 year deal with around 8-12 million a year
Manziel, like a fine bourbon will only get better with riding the pine with time

So imagine that you've been working for five years at business and you finally are about to get that promotion you've been looking for. You're damn good at your job, but you don't have the best pedigree, say you went to a mid level business school like Dayton. All of a sudden you're boss hires this young hotshot fresh out of Harvard's MBA program. You feel threatened that he may get that promotion that you deserve just because of what he did back in college and not what he could actually bring to your business.
This is obviously isn't a perfect example, but it kind of shows you how Hoyer may feel with Manziel there. These rumors seem a bit off based, but he probably is sick of being asked about the new guy repeatedly by the media. It's too bad he didn't get the rest of last season to prove himself, but he has to prove he can continue his level of play and dispel any more Johnny Drama for the rest of the season. These next three games are crucial because he has prove he can beat the teams we should be able to beat.
