Cassel, Manziel to Start Second Preseason Games

[slacker00]

johhny is basically the modern day joe namath I think don't know if he'll be as talented on the field i'm talking about off the field pretty much a rockstar right.

How much trouble can he get into in Cleveland? Do they even have a night life there?

Now, the latest word is that Hoyer will actually start Monday, but that Manziel will play with the first team when he comes in. That last part is more important anyway because Manziel played with the second team last week. Now the Browns can compare apples to apples as they would like to decide on who their starter will be this season after this game.

I got out of my bet now

Pass on game

It really does not change anything because both QBs will still get equal snaps with the starting team.

[LT Profits]

Decision day for Browns QB could be next Tuesday

Go Johnny Go.

Looks like Hoyer was named the starter against the REDSKINS.

Right but read Post #37. Plan is to give both guys equal snaps with the first team.

too much pressure on the kid

that will be why he might fail

[Grits n' Gravy]

The fact that neither Manziel and to a lesser extent, Bridgewater, haven't been able to take starting job yet is an indication of their ability at this point and the below average OLs they have. Hoyer and Cassell are not special.

According to Dan Patrick, Phil Simms and Jim Nantz are going to announce Cleveland at Pittsburgh week 1, leading to speculation CBS believes Manziel will start.

Coach, be safe out on that limb

[Big Bear]

People love talking about this kid.

most of the time rookies are a non-factor in NFL.

If Browns go with Hoyer they may sneak into the playoffs.

Browns have a legit defense.

Im sure they could be reassigned quickly if Johnny not the starter

But are they moving the game to 4:25 ET?

[Otters27]

Manziel will start. I think he will be successful for a while. But the drinking will catch up to him after a while

It doesn't matter who starts the game but matters who finishes the game.

Well they certainly have a selection to choose from. You got teams with surplus of QBs (Cleveland), surplus of good receivers (Arizona), surplus of good running backs (Raiders)this year.

Teddy b will be in once they start 0-3.

Does seem to be that those teams are stacked at those positions but in the NFL now I would like to have a lot of those positions, staying power in nfl not what it used to be

[GunShard]

Cassel is playing too good, so he's most likely to start the regular season.
Nice game winning drive by Bridgewater.

I'll have to check my local listings

No shot at playoffs this season.

Cassel is still PROBABLY going to be the starter in Week 1, but...


Teddy Bridgewater completed 16-of-20 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday night's preseason game against the Cardinals.

Bridgewater bounced back in a major way after struggling in his debut. He didn't have any turnovers and only took one sack. Bridgewater was decisive in the pocket and engineered an impressive two-minute drill in the fourth quarter that ended with a touchdown to Rodney Smith. Matt Cassel held serve against the Cardinals and is 17-of-22 passing for 210 yards with a touchdown through two preseason games. Bridgewater is still behind Cassel, but his performance this week keeps him in the mix the for the Week 1 job.

Bridgewater looked great last night , but still im leaning toward cassell to start season..in other news has anyone seen Ponder this week did not even get in to the game last night and doubt he sees action next week

Doesn't mean anything, he is the #3 QB. He may start preseason Week 4 and get his work in then.

[jjgold]

Cassell Will not lead his team
He's an average NFL quarterback

I would go with a young guy and try to build

every major town has a nightlife,trouble, and party scene.... i'd imagine I want to go out and get drunk ALOT if I had to live in Cleveland.

Ponder should be blowing every ACC defensive coordinator for making him look good at FSU. He should be working as a financial planner or some other layup job from an FSU alumni.

[teaserpleaser]

Should be an easy over tonight ....should be

yea I would want to be drunk all the time if I lived there. either way though if you want trouble no matter what you will find it

Except for LeBron who willingly chose Cleveland over South Beach.

[Otters27]

Looking forward to watching Manziel tonight. If he lights it up people will be all over him as the opening day starter

I am on Cleveland as a dog.

neither looked impressive. Not sure how good browns can be. Kyle Shannahan isn't that good
