Jay Glazer's Cheap Shot Reporting
-
I've been on these boards two days and I can already tell that Bacon Hound has a uncomfortably wierd dislike of Johnny.
Bacon Hound, As a new poster to this board I have to believe others probably have shared this advice before, but opinions are fine, just back the shit up. Johnny was "Johnny Football" the year he won the Heisman. It's not an act. He likes to have fun. He also is a dedicated football player who works his ass off. Give the guy a break. Let's see how he does before declaring he's a bust.
it's not a dislike other than facts. In preseason he had a shot at winning the starting job and he didn't. Hoyer has struggled for the better part of 4 games and Manziel got on the field in garbage time against the Bills. Unlike most I really don't believe Pettine is the type of coach that keeps the difference maker on the bench, the starting job is a coin toss because Hoyer has played poorly and Manziel hasn't shown them enough in practice.
Do I like the Johnny Football Money celebration, not really. I think Cleveland is a blue collar town and has supported blue collar players. If Manziel performs he can act like a huge douchebag and he'll be my douchebag but until he performs he's not getting the benefit of the doubt.

Can we get the fuck over this romanticism of "blue collar" horseshit?
I could could give a fuck about blue collar players, for fucks sake just bring in a winner.

We've supported blue collar players because that's who we get. LeBron sure as hell isn't a blue collar player. People like superstars. We've never had one on the browns since pretty much ever. Enjoy the buzz while it's around because it could dissipate pretty quickly and we could move on again and then Marvin Lewis won't be calling our qb a midget because he's not actually worth mentioning. Or he could be a huge douchey superstar for years. I'm hoping for option 2. Seems like you're hoping for option 1..

In a lot of instances one brings the other. Russell Wilson vs Colin Kaepernick, Andrew Luck vs Cam Newton. I want guys who do their jobs and don't need the limelight to thrive.

This fanbase is dying for something to rub in divisional opponents faces like the gay terrible towel crap. If manziel is great the steelers fans will bitch so hard about the money sign. And it will be sweet. Don't deny it. You know this to be true.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

Gordon has that "superstar" quality and he's a kucklehead who doesn't know the plays and takes plays off when he's not happy. Give me the Andrew Hawkins' of the world who will run through a brick wall to play.
-
I like Hawkins over gordon at the moment too, but whatever you want to say about manziel the guy's not lazy on the field

Walter don't know how long you've watched football, and am not being trying to that smart ass, but guys like Marvin Harrison, Barry Sanders, Steve Young, etc just did their job, smiled and lined up again.

I completely agree with you but I just don't see how you fit Manziel into Gordons category right now. In like 8 minutes the kid showed more heart than Gordon's shown in his whole career. The guy was a supplemental draftee and he plays like a spoiled 1st round top 5'er.

Most fans, media and the coaches all realize his drive against the Bills was against a soft defense and as soon as he gets in the endzone here comes Johnny Football. Just want him to earn the praise in the NFL and not buy too much in his own legend. You see it more in the NBA where these "kids" come in with the hype, under perform and washout because "everyone has it out for them". Russell Wilson is the polar opposite, he's got a chip on his shoulder because few believed in him and exploits that.

I'm pretty sure that when the bills saw him they were as Gung ho to take him out as anybody. Great way to make a name for yourself.

I've been on these boards two days and I can already tell that Bacon Hound has a uncomfortably wierd dislike of Johnny.
Bacon Hound, As a new poster to this board I have to believe others probably have shared this advice before, but opinions are fine, just back the shit up. Johnny was "Johnny Football" the year he won the Heisman. It's not an act. He likes to have fun. He also is a dedicated football player who works his ass off. Give the guy a break. Let's see how he does before declaring he's a bust.

OK, there were plenty of Browns fans that hated the Manziel pick- including me. Not particularly keen about his off-field antics either. However assuming the Manziel Era starts Sunday, I'll be cheering for him to succeed. The last thing I want to see is yet another qb bust.
One thing for sure- rookie or not, Manziel won't be given the kind of slack the fans gave Hoyer from some quarters.I'd say about as much as Brandon Wee-done.
It could have been the Cleveland fairy tale. Downtrodden hometown kid comes out of nowhere to lead the Browns to the playoffs.Story didn't have a happy ending. Time to move on to "the next great thing."

Seriously you Jonny haters are just looking for stuff to whine about.
Think about your lists of grievances against Johnny and ask yourself if you really care.
OK would you really rather lose games behind a guy that gets up early eats a good breakfast and goes to church every Sunday? Really?

This fanbase is dying for something to rub in divisional opponents faces like the gay terrible towel crap. If manziel is great the steelers fans will bitch so hard about the money sign. And it will be sweet. Don't deny it. You know this to be true.

I don't know if I'm dying to use an annoying way to express my fandom. But after putting up with terrible towels and Ravens ripped-off soccer chant, I suppose it would be nice to annoy the fuck out of them right back. But it goes both ways when your team struggles. (BTW, did I see it right when T.Y. Hilton was doing the money sign on a TD catch?)
Another thought...who the hell came up with the awful idea of the "Dirty Towel"? That was incredibly lame and I remember NO ONE using them when they were handed out at a game a few years back.

It's called counterbalancing...

The fanbase is dying for wins... they are what rub gimmicks in the faces of our rivals. We've had two of those this year. Let's get two more. With or without a "gimmick" of our own. Makes zero difference to me...

Go Browns...

Yeah there will always be guys like you who just want a win but if you don't think the money sign is going to catch on you're very mistaken

Tour one more time, I love Brian Hoyer and wish he didn't suck.
And yes I am anxious to see what our first round draft pick and one of the most celebrated (and admittedly controversial) rookies in the history of the NFL can do.
Aren't you? Really?
I don't see why there has to be a disconnect.
If he turns out to be the worst quarterback in the league then I guess you guys can have a gloating party.

And if the Cleveland Browns are successful under Johnny it will be nationwide like Fonzies "Heyyyyy".
Hopefully he's already filed for the trademark...
