    Cassel, Manziel to Start Second Preseason Games

    Bridgewater will be second in the rotation for the Vikings but Johnny Football is expected to start for the Browns, who ideally would like to make a decision on their Week 1 starter before the third preseason game.

    Cassel seems to have the edge on the starting job in Minnesota but the Manziel / Brian Hoyer competition in Cleveland is now a toss-up.

    Cassel looked just fine.

    I hope to see more reps this week. Even though I want bridgewater to take over whether it's at the end of this season or in the future, It's important in his progression.

    Cassel seems to have good energy/swagger/presence so far, Bridgewater will get there but give Cassel first crack.

    Johnny is 3x the quarterback that Hoyer is. Once a team takes away all the quick short reads from Hoyer disaster will follow! Hoyer was slightly above average in high school, average in college, and below average in NFL.

    Not without Gordon. High probability he gets injured on a run too.

    Manziel is cocky. That is why he will win the job. One day though he will get blasted and get hurt

    Being a Browns fan since birth, I don't care who starts. I just want to make the damn playoffs again.

    agree 100,000%... I just have a feeling its gonna be Manziel. Dont you think for a minute the Browns wouldn't be willing trade Hoyer either. His stock his high... this is a good problem to have... I m confident with both, Im a lot more confident if Josh Gordon plays (we should find out this week). Hoyer or JF, it really doesnt matter to me, just win

    very optimistic, I hope he makes it through the whole year. I think that a lot of guys are going to be taking shots at him and he will get injured

    Don't sleep on Rex Grossman being Browns starting Qb. They must have signed him for a reason

    No way Grossman starts unless top two are both injured. They signed him as a veteran #3 to serve more as a mentor (especially for Manziel).



    Browns signed QB Rex Grossman.

    Backups Tyler Thigpen and Connor Shaw can probably start packing their bags. Grossman has a history with OC Kyle Shanahan, having played for him in both Houston and Washington. Grossman will not be a factor to start. Instead, he'll be a sounding board for both Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel.

    That ship has sailed. At this point, Grossman is a clipboard holding emergency QB, that's about it.

    Bridgewater has a chance to be the starter if he out performs Cassel in the next 3 preseason games.
