    Sounds like Haslam is laying the pipeline out that its ok for now if JM falls behind Shaw for the backup? Preseason game time will determine a bunch.

    Thats the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard Haslems words......

    And if they demote him to 3rd string after all the steps he has taken then they lose him forever. He'll ask for a trade or release.

    Every kid doesn't get a trophy.

    Conner Shaw has credentials of his owm so if he plays better so be it. Owner speaks of being patient with JM and you're talking about him taking his ball and going home.

  • And if he's dropped to 3rd string, then no Browns fan will care...

    I don't think there is anything calculated in Haslam's JM statement. I think it is simply an owner reflecting what his brain trust (not his brain) is telling him. And that seems to be that while not ready, he still has a shot.

    Why would any other team be bothered to trade for him if he can't crack the top 2 QB spots on a team starved for QB talent? That isn't even considering the off the field nonsense from last season.

  • Well I see I caught a few fish with my statement. I just think it is amazing how people here think he is already headed for 3rd string by day 4 and completely ignore his one excellent day. How did that happen anyway? Not the ignoring part, the part where he failed on only 1 pass all day. What does it mean? Did he "get it" and then lose it overnight? Should it be treated as an aberration?

  • Well, Saturday wasn't his excellent day. I think Manziel can really play,

    but it depends on when he gets it all together. Connor Shaw has played

    well, and did last year... because it wasn't a lost year for him, like it was

    for Johnny.

    So, it'll take time to see him get it together. That's okay, Connor Shaw can play.

    I hope, as most everybody else does, that McCown stays healthy and rocks the place.

    For me training camp and pre season mean almost nothing. Where you prove whether or not you can play is in the regular season, and playoffs for some teams, and Manziel has played awful during that time. Maybe he will turn it around but if I were a gambling man I'd sell.

    People have good days, people have bad days. So far Johnny has had three less than stellar days and one exceptional day.

    Meanwhile, Connor Shaw has had four relatively strong days. Personally, I think that warrants Connor getting a few reps with the 2's, if only as a commendment for a job well done with the 3's and 4's.

    Declare your starters and have churn at the bottom. Right now, Johnny isn't a starter, so a competition for the backup spot should be completely fair game.

    Shelton, Erving, et al are getting more reps with the 2's than the 1's because they have to earn their position.

    Day 4.....of year 2....that is.....

    No one ignored his excellent day.....I posted it for all to see.....YAY!....

    Now, should we ignore the 300+ non-excellent days?......

    When it can accomplish WR progressions I will be impressed.

    From Weedone to Hoyer to McCown what a task to show your QB talents. Trade not a chance.

    Put your Manziel A&M and his preseason for 2014 tapes away. Watch the games JM played regular season with the same banged up OL as Shaw had at Baltimore and you tell me what game to watch of JM that matches who's ready??

    That's the beauty of the Rapala Manziel Special. Fish bite for hours even after I've spent all day on the Goldfish machines in Isle of Capri in Blackhawk. 😆

  • Bunch of reports about how Johnny looked great out of the shotgun today. Shocker. Went with the 1s some too.
