John Football Excuses Forum....

Johnny will be the presumed starter next year. He's had five and a half quarters as a starter so far. That's not even enough time to start the beginnings of an evaluation yet. Maybe Johnny will eventually bust out, but we are a long way from finding out

No, because in the NFL you don't draft a QB with the 22nd pick and give them 3 career starts. They'll want to see how he progresses through mini-camps, training camp and the preseason. Then when he's 2-6 with flashes of mediocrity and pretty much horrible play, they'll move on.

I fully expect Manziel with the team next year, and probably as a starter. I mean, I see some improvement, but his development is happening at a jurassic pace. With that said, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on a third round QB or resigning Hoyer as a backup.
I'd rather use our two first on another OL, a NT, and a safety (Landon Collins?) in the first two rounds. I take pride in the fact that next year, we may very well have the best secondary in the league.

Really, are you in the team brass meetings?
You can bet your ass there will be a veteran in training camp and Johnny will not be presumed anything.

That's the reality of the NFL. Geno Smith and EJ Manual are both horrible but based on their draft status they keep getting opportunities. No true veteran worth anything is going to come in and "compete" with Manziel.

and both their teams signs veterans and then pulled them to play the veterans....they surely didn't "get the season to prove themselves", so to speak....

Every veteran without a #1 job will lick their chops at Cleveland.
Manziel will not be handed anything.
Let's just hope he feels "100%" when the competition starts, or maybe he'll just concede it.

Kyle Orton and Michael Vick, they are going nowhere fast.
Geno Smith started 27 games in 2 years 10-17
EJ Manuel started 14 games in 2 years 6-8
I applaud the Bills for realizing 10 games last year and 4 this year were enough with EJ but make no mistake 3 games won't be enough for Manziel

What about them? Did they score three points in six quarters as a starter, then strain their vagina, go to the sidelines, and then get handed the job the next year?

So much can change in 2 weeks that's for sure.

Let's revisit the start of the discussion shall we? In response to another member Saint Steve posted:
The money sign is absolutely meaningless. Get over it. WSS
To which I replied:Disagree... I think it's symptomatic of a lot of things, but can set that aside.
What cannot be set aside is the its impact on opponents. Bengals D talked about how the spector of that "meaningless" gesture pumped them up. That they did not want to see it and their play was driven by their desire to not see it.
It's permanent bulletin board material... even if there's nothing new to fuel the fire, there's "the money sign" to fall back upon.And then...
Oh horse shit. You take it seriously because you don't like the kid. What pumped the Bengals up is the fact that we fuck them in the ass in their own house.
It also cost the Cincinnati morons at least one penalty. WSSSo the only absolute position in the "discussion" belonged to The Saint.
The only attempt to label motivation for a position was by The Saint.Steve, it was two divergent opinions.
All I ever said was that I disagree with yours.
There is no winning such a discussion, but, as you showed, you can lose it.
Go Browns...

Well guess who looks like JF today. Andrew Luck is down 35-0 at the end of the 3rd. He is 15/22, 109 yds. and 2 interceptions and now at least 1 fumble. Dallas now has the ball after this last fumble to start the 3rd on the Colts' 38.

Luck has his issues, but he is without Hilton and every other receiver has several drops today. Good luck hosting the seahawks in the first round. You will need it...

Sorry but that's just an idiotic post. Luck has proven that he can play in the NFL. Johnny has so far proven he cannot.

You can have a bad game if you make the playoffs and the Pro Bowl every year you are a starter and set records in a playoff win.
If you get 3 points in two starts amd then go back to the bench you arent quite as credible.

Nothing to be proud of that's for sure, but we know Luck will be fine and his team already clinched.
