Maybe he should spend more time on his playbook instead of doing commercials?

Yeah, heaven forbid his celebrity might raise the Browns national brand awareness in a commercial spot for National brands in a BROWNS jersey...

Every Connor Shaw Snap From Last Night.

4 Man fronts, No Blitz, Against a 3rd/4th String prevent defense.

He looked good, but you need to put the situation into some perspective...

They were actually trying stunts and blitzes against Hoyer and Manziel. Shaw had no such challenges.

Now this is just getting silly:

The Harlem Globetrotters have drafted showman Johnny Manziel. That makes “Johnny Football” the three-way draft choice of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, baseball San Diego Padres and now basketball’s ultimate team of showmen with their red, white and blue ball.

Not that it matters, but Johnny flew Southwest to Vegas.

I hope you guys enjoy the name Darren Rovell. This guy has been on JFF's jock for the better part of the last 18 months, and he doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon.

And for those who are wondering:

Real nice guy. Glad I got to meet him! #gobrowns

He later confirmed that Johnny was studying on the plane, as there were plenty of skeptics. Also, at least one media outlet asked if they could talk to him. Talk to him about sitting next to Johnny on a plane.
Unreal.

Johnny Manziel reportedly moved to No. 2 on the depth chart. Tyler Thigpen should've kicked it in Vegas.

I had my doubts about his motivation when I saw this. It's like he was saying "I've hit the big time baby" And while he has hit the big time, if he were my QB I would like to see him do something before he flashes money sign on the world's stage.

You do realize that he's not doing a "money sign" right?

Right?

I agree with a LOT of this article. Why is the organization trying so hard to downplay Johnny, while every other team is talking up their 1st round pick as the 2nd coming?

Despite decades of futility and the strong stench of failure that generally emanates from theCleveland Browns, this team actually managed to generate some positive buzz by selecting Texas A&M superstar quarterback Johnny Manziel No. 22 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. It’s been less than a week, but somehow the luster continues to fade with each passing day.

Not content to leave (better than) well enough alone, it seems the Browns organization has gone out of its way this week to rain on its own parade. They’re urinating in their own Wheaties. They’re collecting black flies for their own glasses of Chardonnay.

First came Haslam’s supremely unnecessary comments aimed, for some unknown reason, at putting Manziel in his place. Said Cleveland’s criminally inclined owner, “We were frank with [Manziel] on Friday that’s the expectation, you’re the backup. This is a hard-working, blue-collar town, this isn’t Hollywood. We want you to come in and go to work.”

While his message was reasonable enough, the tone and delivery were excessively harsh. There are ways to say the exact same thing without completely insulting Manziel, inferring that he’s lazy and too caught up in his own celebrity to bother showing up for work.
