Josh McCown named starter for Week 3 :why:

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Who gets shocked Manziel is back on the bench?

I seriously want to know this? Bad QBs wiln NFL games all the time. Nothing impressive about barely beating a young Titans team while only completing 8 passes after being up 21-0.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Manziel didn't lead them anywhere. Benjamin did.

Keep the propaganda goimg tho...

McCown is 36. At some point you have to find out if Manziel can be the future of the franchise or if you're drafting another QB early. It just seems silly.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Mccown is about everyones job security
Manzirl can still learn more he has atleast one more year before they even should considering him a starting wb and even after the first two games hes shakey

Those games got the fans behind the idea of manziel and thats all he needs and it helped his confidence. Just let mccown try and carry the team for a while and see where the browns fall this year

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Imagine if McCown were black...

shyt would be crazy. People would be foamimg at the mouth demanding to plah Manziel.

I mean... this Maziel infatuation is just mindboggling!

They already know he's not a franchise QB, dude!

In what world are we in where hyped QBs can't beat out journeyman QBs in practice, yet people still think hyped QB needs to start in games to show he more than hype?

 

[SoulController]

this old bytch gonna ruin Travis' contract year

checkdowns on deck, get ready Duke/Crowell

 

[beenz]

And McCown aint?

Pettine has a vendetta against the kid.

if I'm the coach and both my QB's are terrible, I'm riding with the 2nd year player over a 36 year old journeyman career backup QB.

Manziel needs more time, he still has some BAD habits that worked out for him in this game. Throwing off balance without setting his feet, staring down receivers, extending plays that more often than not will end up in sacks for -15 yards against other teams. He still needs to build his confidence/metal stability, the breh was a cokehead 6 months ago

 

[CrimsonTider]

Manziel is an elite deep ball thrower

Everything else

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Manzeil has four fumbles in 1 1/2 games (he recovered two of his own
fumbles last week).

He's not ready

Mariota had 4 last game

 

[PortCityProphet]

I'm surprised that the owner hasn't come down and made a call to start Johnny yet. They like to get in the mix when their 1st round pick stays on the bench.

 

[NYC Rebel]

Mariota had 4 last game

and Mariotta came into camp as the unquestioned starter. Manzeil came into camp fresh outta rehab.

 

[Rottweiler]

Can't even win the starting job over a 36 year old journeyman backup.

Johnny Football sucks.

 

[QuarterCenturyLegend]

I'm surprised that the owner hasn't come down and made a call to start Johnny yet. They like to get in the mix when their 1st round pick stays on the bench.

He's the only reason they even picked Johnny. He was embarrassed last year because of the way he handled himself, being unprepared,
etc. I still think Johnny has a future with this
team, but they're also trying to eliminate his sense of entitlement he suffered from last year. In all accounts, he's been a professional this year which was the start of the process. Now it's about bringing him along slowly to make him the best QB he can be without fracturing his confidence throwing him in the fire when he's not there yet. If he'll ever be good enough to be a consistent starter is the question that remains to be answered.

McCown is reckless but his lone long ass drive against the Jets defense sans the fumble/concussion was impressive.

The Browns prepared the entire summer to have McCown start the season. I don't get the confusion here.
