Browns moving on from Manziel
If THIS is indeed true, Haslam needs to apologize for wasting everyone's time.
Josh McCown is firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback in Cleveland, to the extent that Johnny Manziel, a first-round pick of the Browns’ next year, appears to be largely an afterthought at Organized Team Activities.

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
I don't know much about him, but that seems like a waste of a good draft pick.
Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
Is a trade imminent? Do other teams consider him a wasted 1st round pick? Interesting development.

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
If he needs learning time just stick him on the bench. Not every young QB is ready to start on day one.

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
They didn't start him on day one. In fact, they had him holding the clipboard for the majority of the season last year.Originally Posted by ericdaoust

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
Thing is, he was never scouted to have very good NFL QB traits. He'd ideally need at least 2 even 3 full seasons of development before sniffing the field. Even then his height and small frame were questionable with regard to withstanding the physical pounding he'd take.
@SmittysRant
Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
Well they did invest with him so they must be aware of that fact. So why is it such a big deal that he's the backup heading into year two?

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
This had to have been a publicity thing. Browns just wanted to be the team that drafted Manziel so they could sell a few "Johnny Football" shirts and jerseys.
Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
This is definitely it.. The Browns wanted a few headlines and they accomplished that forsure!! Now its time to cut ties..

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
But having a 1st round pick turn into a true star for the next decade actually sells way more jerseys in the long run...

Re: Browns moving on from Manziel
Haslam...not the coach or GM....Haslam insisted they move up to take Manziel. Owners need to just own, and stay out of the way.
