Because JM is part of that "talent"?
Look... all the back and forth at both extremes is tiresome.
I haven't noticed teams spying JM while the quick hitters or wide ZBS runs that have produced chunks the past couple weeks.
I have noticed a couple zone reads go for chunks when, contrary to the treat JM adds, a backside DE or OLB did not honor the QB run. The zone read's elimination of backside pursuit is not nothing, but neither is it pivotal... especially when the bootleg threat is well established.
His run threat requiring a spy should help his passing as much or more than it does our team running attack. The run success should translate into open PAP completions for even more chunks. Have they?
The strides JM has made are in mastering the basics of QB play in the NFL: getting out play calls, pre-snap reads and adjustments. That the contrast is stark is only a testament to how abysmal his early efforts were.
The next step is very, very high...
Bottom line: JM is not garbage, but neither is he, or his promise, great.

You are saying the same thing I am. You are just being polite about it.
Being that far way at the end of year two is not good.
We need to make some off-season decisions, and finding a QB WITH great promise should be one of them.

My comparison would be Brady Quinn. Manziel reminds me of BQ in about every way. Anyone else agree?
My comparison would be Brady Quinn. Manziel reminds me of BQ in about every way. Anyone else agree?
He throws a little better deep ball, and is a little slower at reading defenses. But the end result of "small ball" offense and lack of confidence in putting up points when he is in there is very similar.

The fact that he posted this video HIMSELF is what I find troubling.
If a friend put it up, of them partying in his house ... whoops. Sorry, coach.
You do it yourself ... after what happened last time?
This guy puts Johnny Manziel himself above the Cleveland Browns.
Are there any other NFL QBs that post videos of themselves partying in this day age? What is that? I don't get it?
It can't be because I'm an old limpdick, because I don't see Wilson, Marriotta, Carr, Bridgewater, Bortles ... ANY young QBs posting videos of themselves partying and singing/rapping. The only one that does it is the one that has been told not to do it.
This is four days after a humiliating loss in which he had like 136 yards passing?
No ... he's not doing anything wrong in the video ... but he has his coach handling distractions again, answering questions about him ... why do that?
As Herm Edwards says ... "Don't press send".

i'd: keep pettine and have him take over D play calling. don't like flip's stuff this year but didn't like shanahan's either when he was here....maybe too much influence of the WCO or just playing to the strength of the players dealt them, dunno but something has to be done there as well.
farmer needs a kick in his ass, and he/they need to hold scouts accountable when their shit is no good.
half our OL might be gone. some D picks might pan out but are still in desperate need of LB help. AND we have no quality receivers over 6'. so even if the browns decide to keep manziel there are enough needs to take up 2 drafts IMO.
Thanks for the fill in mik,
Back on topic, watching Pettine, I just get the feeling that McCown is his ride-or-die chic and #1 choice. Seems like Johnny is the sloppy seconds because he knows, while hot and shiny, she already has herpes and won't bear his children.

We'll find out in around 10 days what direction this is going. I really doubt Haslam is going to wait long if he thinks serious changes are needed. The problem is, Pettine rode McCown until he was totally broken down- if he was a horse, they would have taken him out back and shot him. The guy is a career backup for a reason- he generally holds onto the ball for too damn long and is slow in his reads- ergo the broken ribs and collarbone.
I'm ambivalent about Manziel. I think he's shown improvement, but the question is if it's enough improvement. I do think the Browns will draft another qb in the spring- but not sure if yet another high pick is the way to go. Generally, this season the Browns have lost games because of gawd awful defense, not poor qb play. The KC game was an aberration in that regard.
Oh, stop being so diplomatic mik. Makes you look bad. How do I pink that anyway?
Come on man- you can't figure out the pink font? I would hope you have that bar up on top of your reply. The colors are next to the smilies.

Well at least Johnny has a hot mom, there somebody said it!

Manziel sucks.
The quicker the cord is cut the faster the recovery can begin.

Call me a whiny cunt all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Manziel is going to be our starter next year, nor does it change the fact that you'll go back on your sentiments when he does start winning.
Because half of the people here are whiny, reactionary pussies who have zero backbone. Bad game? Aw fuck he's the worst let's get rid of him. Good game? Aw fuck he's better than anyone in the league.
Because most Browns fans don't know jackshit about football or what it takes to win. They just stomp around and throw a tantrum because boo hoo, woe is me, the Browns suck.

Most brown fans like you have no clue about football. How can anyone think Manziel can be anything in the pros. What games were folks watching in the college ranks?!?!?
MFG!!

TCPO and the rest of the Manziel dick lickers are whining in the other thread because we haven't given proper thought to their list of excuses "He has no weapons, boo hoo hoo" ... "He had the sniffles" ... "Aaron Rogers had a bad game too!"
Because, well that is what pussies do. They whine and make excuses instead of maybe saying "wow, it is the end of year two and this guy's footwork is awful, he still can't read defenses or go through progressions, and he is wildly inconsistent."
So I am just wondering ... who can I compare Johnny too? How about the quarterback on the same team with the same players?

I assume we are OK with the "weapons" argument here, unless you think Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins were the very key to McCown's success. But I can hear the "experienced QB" whining, so let's look at his classmates:
OK, how about the players in the same draft class, the four QBs taken in the first 36 picks:

That what pussies do, they make excuses.
No one will be a valid comparison for them.
Because they can't just look at the guy and go "Boy he's not too good, he's still not getting it, and with his size and potential for off-field problems ... we should probably flush this experiment right now and find a better prospect. Like these other guys. They come in to the league every year. We have high draft picks. Take another shot. Improve the rest of the team, bring in another prospect ... that's what you do. You don't plan on starting this guy next year. You plan on improving the position.

Z, you can make stats look any way you want to. McCown was putting up numbers ok, but he was getting himself killed in the process. Very gutsy- and stupid. I think Manziel is one ahead of Josh in the win column too.
Regarding Bortles, he's had more starts, Teddy has Peterson, Carr has Crabtree and Cooper. (and a guy on defense named Mack)
The only fair comparison in my book is Mariotta, & they're just about even in the only stat that counts- wins. .
Don't give me any crap about Osweiler- he's sat behind Manning learning from the best for 4 years- and BTW, he has Sanders and Thomas to throw to- and a stud defense to bail him out. So, give Manziel another two seasons, Josh Gordon, and a #1 ranked defense and get back to me on that comparison.
Weren't you the guy just bitching about our sieve defense that gave up 30+ points a ton of games in a row? Like Manziel is responsible for a defense that's near the bottom in every category?
-
Way too many pages to read through right now, but my assessment of Manziel was that he did pretty good. I saw the line-up at the beginning of the game and our starting WRs were Benjamin and Gabriel... I was like, "Johnny is gonna have to run for his life"! All he did was avoid being sacked all game long and breaking rushing records for a QB in Clevelnad(and that is going to be a low number when all is said and done). You can't expect him to hit receivers that just aren't there to be hit. On the rare occasion where there is a receiver wide open... he's gotta hit that guy. But that goes for any QB. He's young and has a lot to prove/learn, but he's on the right track.
With Gordon and another big ass WR, on the field that is also playmaker, it's going to be a fun ride with Manziel. It's not Gloom and Doom for me, for me I can start to see the Sun breaking over the peaks at the dawning of a new era. We will get this franchise righted. Manziel spiking that helmet at the end of the game sealed the deal for me. Finally a QB that shows that it pisses him off, it's now 'awe shucks' maybe next time mentality. That fight and desire to win will carry over to the rest of the team and become contagious, he's the catalyst as much as some of you may hate it.

Manziel is 2-6. Beat two last place teams.
And having a bad defense is not an excuse for being a bad QB. It only makes the blowouts worse.
Here is how many points we have scored in the games Manziel has taken the majority of the snaps:
0,10,28, 10,9.24,13, 13
A little over 13 pts. per game, Only led us to more than one TD in 2 out of 8 games.
Sorry, but if you are looking for "wins", the 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens would be hard-pressed to win more than 3 of those starts.

Z, I'm really not defending Manziel, but those points #s just might be attributable to no weapons?
If the Browns decide to terminate the JFF experiment, it won't make me particularly sad.
I think I made my case in another thread. If you decide Manziel isn't the answer- just because you have a top five pick, doesn't mean you have to take a quarterback at all costs. Not if the value isn't there. I've pointed out the disaster cases. Russell, Griffin, Harrington. That would set us back even farther than sticking with Johnny boy. Just having a franchise qb isn't the automatic ticket to the Promised Land either, or you want to tell me guys like Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, and Matt Stafford aren't?
If it was that damn easy to find the next franchise quarterback- every team would have one. I think we've tried.
-
I'm going to have to double check the game stats, but I believe Mitchell Schwartz had more catches than Dwayne Bowe.
-
Yeah convenient spot for a typo.
So anyway, To clean this up ... Osweiler's career yards/game is now 94.7, his yards per START is 246.8
Johnny's yards per start this year is 212.3 and career 173.2.
His Yards per start this year is lower than the yards per game of everybody else mentioned.
As for the Browns in 2015:
In the 7 games where McCown took the majority of the snaps, the Browns averaged 21.8 points per game and 290.1 passing yards per game.
In the 7 games where Manziel took the majority of the snaps, the Browns averaged 15.3 points per game and 195.5 passing yards per game.
If you guys are cool with giving up 6.5 points every week then, by all means, let's march on with Johnny next year.
I'm sure he'll start learning stuff.

On Zombo - Or as I affectionately have called him, Zomblow :-)... For fuck's sake, the guy has a career, this shit isn't his job. Hell, I consider him a friend and he hasn't just pulled my threads, the sonofabitch has terminated my account a few times. What the hell are you whining about "Couch Pulls Out" ? Grow a set already.
Nobody here gets paid for football knowledge. We all have an asshole and we all have an opinion. We get paid and recognized equally for both.
Stan created the best haven for Browns fans to post messages that ever existed. Be glad that Zombo loves the Browns so much that he comes in here and deals with our childish bullshit.
On The Browns - For all our bitching about talent, the team has had enough to be competitive and within striking distance of a lot of games. I will say it again, a lot of the problem is in basic block, tackle, pass, catch, execute and make-no-penalties behavior. God knows I have stirred up my share of shit, but while this team stinks, it seems to me that draft picks alone aren't going to make the difference.
It is impossible that management can be so incompetent as to select nothing but poor talent. The A #1 priority with this team has nothing to do with draft picks, and positions or x's and 0's.....it has to do with team work, a standard philosophy and leadership to get everyone to buy into the program. Whatever values teams like The Pats, Steelers and other perennial winners adopt, that seems to me to be where the Browns foundation needs to start.
All this bullshit fighting over who we should have taken, who we should replace and who should play where, is just noise. How the fuck can anyone judge the talent level on this team when everyone involved, including management is operating in chaos?
On Manziel - If it were me, I would be inline with Zombo. I have seen enough of this guy. And you know, it doesn't mean that he might not straighten out and fly right for another team. That isn't the issue. The issue for me is this............. he has come to Cleveland and took a heaping shit on the fans, the heritage, the name and the good will of the team and the city. The issue for me is that he hasn't given his best.
The Browns need to set a standard and hold to it. You can't one day call a guy out, and the next day start him, then the next day pull him again. Until this franchise sets a standard, drafts, coaches and behaves according to that standard, the franchise will not be a quality product. I don't see how Manziel can ever be a leader of a franchise that adheres to such values.
On the backside, I will repeat myself, if coach Spitoon is going to play the kid, then play him for the year and don't be wishy-washy about it.
in the past was able to read between your lines....you've just honed your craft to a higher level.
100% agree with everything you just said.
well done sir.
