This isn't an overreaction IMO: I see why Josh deserved a chance to start today, I get it. But it's obvious this whole team plays down when he's under center. The team plays a lot different when Manziel is in there. Correct your mistake and put Manziel in.
Based on what evidence? 2 quarters of play? If anything it proves our defense still isn't very good despite the focus over the past 2 years of draft picks...

The fact that he's now missed two open deep ball that Manziel has objectively thrown for TD's. The fact that he gets a clean pocket on a blitz and can't even attempt to throw the ball. The fact that he's missed wide open guys multiple times now. That shit brings the whole team down.

Defense? What defense?

Shelton is not eating double teams today. That last 1st down play he didn't even try.

There's still time to win this
DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD! -

I'm so glad we drafted Justin Gilbert at #8 and passed on Carr and a plethora of wide receivers. Go Farmer!

Your right we are going up against the worst defense in the NFL

And we have 3 points halfway thru the 3rd quarter.

Pass behind reciever. Johnny? Oh, Johnny.....grab your helmet.

Second half is looking like the first half...

The Browns may turn this around,but it doesn't feel like it. Play Manziel this year, give him all year to figure it out, and for you to figure him out, and take your lumps now.
I think the idea that this is a playoff team if you can just get some reasonably solid low-risk, low-reward QB play is far-fetched.
You don't have many weapons. Manziel to Benjamin is at least a weapon, something that makes the opposing DC sweat a little when prepping for the game. For all his flaws, the fear of the big scramble is also something that scares opposing coaches. What did the Raider DC sweat this week leading up to this game with McCown starting?
^^^^^ Completely agree!

Just be aware that when you do it's going to be a carnival freakshow of highs and lows for a while. You either go through that and accept it for a few games (or half a season), or you should have never drafted the guy.
And that would be worse than what we're seeing now??

At times, maybe, but there will at least be a bigger purpose behind the travail. And, like I said, there will be some real highs, as well, I hope. Last week was pretty good,and the Titans aren't that bad (maybe).

What's with Whitner? He NEVER struggled with tackling before like he has this year. In all three games. Need better from him.
