    That song is about a penis, you know. Whose? Johnny's?

  • I just hope it was pettines decision based on what he knows & not pressure or hype. He was smart enough to see through johnny's buffalo drive.

    This past month: Hoyer 30ish drives with 1td. Manziel 2 drives with 1td. I think he knows like we all do, thanks for the post
  • Smart play...you have to know what you got in him. You can't go into next season not knowing what you bought. He may be awesome or he may flame out, either way you have to know. If he's awesome...great for us, and it helps contract talks with BH. If he sucks, you know to trade him to Dallas and find a starter in the draft.

  • i don't think the browns want to promote the elf thing because lewis called manziel a midget.

    by doing so wouldn't the browns be saying lewis was right?

    Its a Brownie. And what's wrong with that:

    Ever notice that the Brownie even looks a little like Johnny?AElzGG2.jpg

    That is not very pc on lewis' part. Where's the goon squad to tear him down for saying "midget"?

    Every midget in Cleveland should hold up racial protest signs when Lewis comes to town. This is slander! This is a travesty of the highest degree and midgets everywhere must rise up and be heard. Lewis can't get away with this!

    Travesty of the lowest degree.

    Rise up becomes...look up

    Fixed.

  • Ain't nothing wrong with a little anger in your elf.

  • even if manziel goes out and totally sucks, i don't think the Browns will draft another QB. It would be nice to have some consistency at that position, I hope they give Manziel as much time as they gave Hoyer to prove he is starter material before pulling the plug on him.

  • Last home game, first Johnny start..........really looking forward to being at mid December game, which has been rare as of late.

  • Is today a day off for the team? I'd expect a statement from Pettine, at least a phone press conference.

  • Hopefully Gordon will provide a bail-out this week in situations where Manziel can't find an open receiver.

    Other than Kirkpatrick, who's a special teams player more than anything, no Bengals cornerback is taller than 5'11". That gives Gordon a 4" advantage on jump balls.

    yes...back at practice tomorrow, which will be Pettines next pressy.....I kind of expected a special announcement too, but maybe they'll just wait till tomorrow.....

  • Trying to ignore idiots like Dukes, and give a prediction. I usually don't like doing predictions, but Johnny's never let me down.

    Johnny is going to be so much better than Hoyer, it won't be funny. He will be making most of you say, "Holy shit, why did we wait so long??!!" He will throw for 250+ and run for 70, and will RARELY GET HIT. He'll lead the offense to 30+ points and almost 500 yards.

    "He's too small." He's always been small and he's never walked onto a field where he wasn't the best player on it.

    "He'll make rookie mistakes." Yes, he will, but not nearly as many as most expect. He's very careful with the ball when the situation calls for it. Too often in college he knew the defense sucked and he had to take risks to score points. He will not be overly risky with the Browns stud defense.

    "He doesn't know the playbook." You are truly a fucking idiot if you think this.

    "You're just a fanboy, you don't know what you're talking about." I am a fan of Johnny, yes. I'm also a football fan since the early 70's. I've seen all that could be seen in that time, and I'm telling you, Johnny is special. He's the only one of his kind that I've ever seen. He's not tebow, flutie, Vince young, or any other comparison you could make. I will not be surprised if the Browns win these last 3 games relatively easily.

    In Aaron Rodgers' word, "relax", Johnny's got this.

    See this is the kind of unbridled fanboy mancrush bs we can do without here in Cleveland. No offense dude you're probably a good guy, but gtfo with this bullshit. It's not constructive. All this kind of hype does is set us up for failed expectations. We do this with every new QB we bring in to town. Your post right here is "exactly" why I didn't want Manziel to start for at least 2 years....cause this kind of hype no QB can live up to. Neither Rodgers nor Brady would have ever panned out here in Cleveland under these kind of expectations. Can we please not setup up JM for failure? All of you JM fans should be the first guys to be saying "hey let's curb our expectations he's a rookie". If we lower the bar and he exceeds it, hey..great. And you're only throwing out the 30+ points figure cause the offense has scored close to that with Hoyer as the QB. You cannot come out and proclaim with any kind of straight face that no question Johnny puts 30+ points on the Bengals. Who by the way will be looking to utterly annihilate him. They'll give up some big plays just to get to him early. They know if they get in his head early the games over.

    now that's funny!

    doesn't look anything like me and i never close my eyes, but i guess if you think i drink like a college dork then...........you'd be sadly mistaken.

  • Here is my hope after watching many JFF college games on Youtube. I am not a JFF fan boy by any means, but since he is our QB, I will support him.

    My hope? That the magic that occurred between JFF and Evan's can be re-created with Gordon. The physical appearance between Evan's and Gordon are almost identical. They are both freakishly tall and physical players.

    Half of the JFF magic at Texas A&M must be given to Mike Evan's. How many times did Johnny throw one up into triple coverage, only to be bailed out by the physical play of Mike Evan's.

    I get the feeling that Gordon and Manziel are going to make a great team together. Both Manziel and Gordon are impromptu players who have a certain level of "make it up as you go" play making ability. I think that Hoyer and Gordon were never going to get into sync, because Hoyer is a timing QB. Gordon didn't seem to like the timing patterns at all...

    I hope that Johnny and Josh are this generations Rice and Young...

    Time will tell.

    Grand wish, Bob.

    Johnny's stronger arm should unleash Josh to some extent... open 10 or 15 yards of field to him that BH could not reach. So I easily see a go route or two.

    In time backshoulders and other read passes may come, but I would not expect much this week. I do not see enough time to sync up the reads of a Week 1 QB with a Week 4 WR.

    both of you guys need to take a fucking deep breath....let's just wait and see and hope it all works out well, right out of the box...which at this late date is pretty much what has to happen for the browns to keep having any hope of the playoffs....

    i have confidence in manziel too...but let's not get carried away.....we're playing contenders and they are going to do everything they can to make johnny's day a rough one.....

    i hope our defense plays like they did the last time we played them.....we fucked their offense up pretty good that day...let's do it again.....
