    Hoyer - the team seems to rise up to competition and maybe even adversity?

    Manzeal will have to wait (imo)

    or at least (I hope not) til garbage time

    edit - Pettine announces today right?

    Hoyer...

    Walter wants Manziel... so Hoyer must be the right choice.

    Who's placing bets in Vegas on it?

    I go with Manziel because beyond this game, we need to know what we have in Manziel before the next off-season, and if he can show signs that he can be the franchise QB we've lacked since the Browns returned. Also, his skill-set allows us to compensate if either the running game or the pass protection doesn't play up to par. His arm strength should also allow the Browns to stretch the field more than Hoyer is capable of doing.

    Osiris is correct. Unless the coach is seriously thinking that Brian Hoyer is his guy going into next year you might as well pull the trigger.

    (and if he really honestly has no clue at this point in the season then it sounds a lot like the scatterbrained team Chud led.)

    If theyre planning on some sort of Dipsy doodle to keep Indianapolis off balance I think that's probably stupid. Anyone will be able to tell by who gets the first team reps. And if it's Hoyer, who I think it will be, they aren't doing Johnny any favors if they go with the short leash and he hasn't had time to work with the first team.

    My decision would be to start Johnny but I don't think they will.

    I would like to see JFF play, but am thinking that they will go with Hoyer one more time...on very short leash, which I think will create a lot of pressure and, likely, another bad game for BH...

    JFF all the way.

    I love what Hoyer has done for this team and I'll always appreciate his role in turning the Browns around. If he's the guy on Sunday, I'll cheer him on without hesitation. I totally understand why they would choose Hoyer.

    If it were ME making the decision, I would start Manziel. I think the high-risk talent is our best chance of beating the Colts... aaaaaand there goes that. Hoyer staying.

    Who do I want to start this week against Indy?

    At this point Zombie Otto Graham, or almost Zombie Bernie Kosar. Maybe lure Brett Favor out of retirement.
