Austin Davis named starter against Bungles...
-
Lets be honest.....for a guy who wasnt here for camp, just stepped into a game late, had no true reps in practice and is very inexperienced....he looked pretty damn good.
High completion percentage....nice looking passes.....and the highest rating of any Browns QB in a long long time.....
Now.....remember all the lame excuses we heard LAST year when Johnny went in under the same circumstances???...hmm?....
Ill remind you....not fair to Johnny, were setting him up to fail, too soon to play him, etc etc etc....
Well...we musta set Davis up to fail too....which was so unfair.....But, then again, he flourished...
I bet Mike Pettine LOVES this guy...and who would blame him?.....

Sorry guys, you can't teach football instincts. You have them or you don't. Last night Davis showed why he was relegated to just above the practice squad. The slide was a jamarcus Russell play all the way. Even 5 graders know enough to get out of bounds.
Then Pettine, clock management? You bench Johnny for telling a lie when there are people like that asshole Ray Lewis passing judgement on Johnny. He is a class A criminal. Dude make him run laps or some other such shit instead of ruining one man for life and putting in an inbred from Mississippi.
Pettine, you need to be fired, no you need to be dunked repeatedly in the Lake off the 9th street pier until you get frostbite in all your toes..
I can't believe some of the people on this board support this moron.

Clock management was unacceptable, major malfunction. Don't think it was as much JF telling a lie as much as supposed to be cleaning up his act and you get a dang video all over social media as an I don't give a crap just the opposite attitude... If he keeps on the track that he's on, he'll end up in trouble that he can't get out of and won't be our qb any way. BUT COME ON MAN.... INBRED??? Really.....

Its official....Davis starts this week.....
Start the cheering and whining....depending on your inclination....

Here's Pettines quote......sounds reasonable to me....
Austin took advantage of his opportunity on Monday night. He was prepared, played well and put us in position to win,β Pettine said. βHeβs been great in the quarterback room all season and he has earned the right to start on Sunday. We expect him to play well.β

I'm fine with this...why not. He looked ok Monday night in the little bit that I saw. But to me...it shows that for all the "this is a week to week thing" and "Johnny isn't done in Cleveland" stuff they're saying to the media. Johnny should get pretty comfy in the doghouse because that's where he's staying the rest of the year and I don't see any way he's back in Cleveland with Pettine as coach. It's possible they're both gone but if Pettine stays...Johnny is playing elsewhere next year.

Yeah, sure, why not. If Manziel needs more dog house time, sure.
-
He put us in a position to win - that's pretty much all you could ask out of a 3rd stringer in that situation.
Will he ever be starter material? Odds are against it, but we might as well play him to get an idea.
-
Not a surprise
-
Good with it, see what he's got. Don't think he's even taken any real snaps in practice until now and didn't look bad in a bad position the other night. Letter-Rip!

Future Tom Brady, boys.
Just sit back and enjoy.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
I'm so excited I could shit.

Awesome news and it's exactly what I hoped for.......... This decision puts a fork in the Johnny Football experiment.

Pump the breaks there Timmy. It's just one game, and if Davis shits the bed, people will be shouting for Manziel again. Plus, there's a pretty decent chance Davis gets injured.

I am definitely eager to see more. I just wish it wasn't against the Bengals. Their defense is talented, aggressive, and without too many weaknesses. It's a tall task to ask a third stringer to come in and play well, but this is why he makes the big bucks, and I wish him well. The task grows even more difficult when you factor in our abysmal running attack, as it appears any yards we get will come directly from the air. Gruden called us out pretty badly the other night about being one dimensional, and it especially hurt considering we were fed continuous quotes about how we WILL run the ball effectively and minimize the QB position. Anyways...good luck kid.
-
Well.... this pretty much confirms, to me that Pettine will not play Manziel under any circumstances, unless ordered to by Haslam. I'm certainly no Johnny Football fan. I don't think he will ever become a decent qb, but I could be wrong, I guess. Now I'm starting to think the Pryor acquisition was designed by Pettine to insure he would never be forced into playing Manziel. Not really fair....Pettine knows he's gone, and just going out his way. I have to say, at this point....good riddance.

Maybe coach Mike can trade for Austin when he is defensive coordinator somewhere next season. Oh wait... I doubt he ever sees that job again.

Um lol. There's a reason this Austin Davis was unemployed when the Browns and their amazing ability to evaluate talent gave him a call.
-
Let's give Davis a chance, but I think he might be setup to fail. He's only had scout team reps so far..... Thats what Joe Thomas said.
Go get 'em Austin, i'll be rooting for you.
