      I don't care about that so much as using actual figures that are demonstrably false.

        midget, fidget or fadget..... this is his make or break year. if the coaches and FO don't see that he can play at the NFL level (in practice) then he'll prob be a 5' 113/4" not-worthy-of-much trade piece after the season.

          I hear Johnny was seen back in bars over the weekend. Reported on local radio.

          But, honestly, I don't care. He is not my friend or family and I don't care if he goes to bars and boozes it up.

          Mickey Mantle and Joe Namath went to bars and boozed it up.....and they won football games. If Johnny can do that and win, more power to him. If he can ONLY play good QB by staying clean and sober, yes, that is what I would want. But if the opposite is true, that is fine with me.

          Right now, honestly, I don't think any Browns fan should have any skin in the Johnny Manziel game. He should essentially be viewed as a Taxi Squad player that may or may not have some future value. No Browns fan should place any faith or reliability in the teams future on him. If he makes it, great. If not....he is just another of the litany of QBs that can go elsewhere and fail as badly in those places as he did here. (after all....name ONE of all those 22 starting QBs that left here to have a viable career.....none did. Colt McCoy has had a few starts, that's it. He can join McCoy/Frye/Quinn/Weeden/etc. etc. etc. on the pine.

          We have about as much future it seems with Connor Shaw or Thad Lewis as with this guy.

          Call us when he does anything.

                As you might expect The Mick was a great football player as well...but gave it up. Here is the wiki quote on his football career:

                Mantle was an all-around athlete at Commerce High School, playing basketball as well as football (he was offered a football scholarship by the University of Oklahoma) in addition to his first love, baseball. His football playing nearly ended his athletic career, and indeed his life. Kicked in the left shin during a practice game during his sophomore year, Mantle's left ankle soon became infected with osteomyelitis, a crippling disease that was incurable just a few years earlier. A midnight drive to Tulsa, Oklahomaenabled him to be treated with newly available penicillin, saving his swollen left leg from amputation.[7]

                  Im sure he was quite the football player but would seem that he won even less football games in the NFL than Colt McCoy! 😁😛

                    In their prime as an athlete, I would have had the Browns traded McCoy straight up for The Mick....and taken my chances on converting him to a football player.

                      Probably.... but to avoid confusion that should be called "de-aggerate".

                        Do Schwartz or Greco play any center? I'm assuming this guy means Erving is playing those spots exclusively ie. no center, which is odd.

                        ERrving would be the #1 back-up at center and LT...the thinking is for him to start at RT and move Schwartz inside. The Browns want him to play this year. Mack is the center.

                        If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                          I would envision the starting 5 to be Thomas, Bitonio, Mack, Greco, Erving.

                          Possibilities due to injury:

                          If Thomas is injured: Erving, Bitonio, Mack, Greco, Schwartz

                          If Mack is injured: Thomas, Bitonio, Erving, Greco, Schwartz

                          If Thomas and Mack are injured: Bitonio, Schwartz, Erving, Greco, Bowie

                          If Bitonio is injured: Thomas, Greco, Mack, Schwartz, Erving

                          If Greco is injured: Thomas, Bitonio, Mack, Schwartz, Erving

                          If Bitonio and Greco are injured: Thomas, Erving, Mack, Schwartz, Bowie

                          If Erving is injured: Thomas, Bitonio, Mack, Greco, Schwarz

                          If Thomas, Bitonio, and Mack are injured: Forfeit
