Why is Johnny football not starting this week?

[jjgold]

it's clear he gives his team the best chance to win week in and week out why are they playing that other clown?

[FlipsideRM]

Don't make no sense to me

[Ryermkd]

Same I was so shocked they benched him last week after he got them their first win

[POOLSIDE]

Because at 40 years old, you've really gotta seize the moment and find out what you've got in Josh McCown

[Jowframs]

Cause they want to lose again
A Dumb Coach

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

It's just stupid
Put Johnny in all season see what you have then draft high get QB u want

[jjgold]

Well if Cleveland loses this week I'm sure Johnny will play the rest of the year

[eswerve4]

Play him and he'll be hurt by the 3rd qtr

[FlipsideRM]

Why start Josh mccown? You have nothing to lose seeing what Johnny can do

[jjgold]

Poor coaching

It's a shame these guys get paid money to coach

[KnownUnknown]

Who in there right mind believes the coach has any sense to begin with? It is also very telling that the guy wouldn't try to use Johnny Football- if he thought the guy could produce a win. Either the coach is a complete imbecile or Manziel is a complete bust. Thoughts?

[El Nino]

He turns the ball over too much.

[gummo]

He's still the best option Cleveland has.

[Hu$tle]

too short, hot and cold player, 1 TD to 1 INT ration coach, must not like what they see in practice

If Johnny Dumb-ball starts the line will move in favor of Cleveland and that should be taken full advantage of by betting on the opposing team. Johnny Dumb-ball is no where close to NFL level. He is one of those QB's who airs it out and hopes he gets lucky. He cannot read the plays well and under pressure he will crack. He had a lucky game when he threw darts in that game he played and the general public thinks that the coaches are stupid to bench him but the coaching staff know better.

so clueless. stop talking, thanks

cleve like Cincy

City of losers

[Ra77er]

Some of his throws looked good to me but is he the answer in Cleveland? Probably best to let him play the year out as Harry said and make adjustments that way. He tries to extend plays a little too much for my liking with his feet and makes poor decisions that worked in college but not in the NFL. He has an arm that can function in the NFL, I worry about his size and maturity to be any sort of long term answer.

[JayDr3am]

so clueless. stop talking, thanks

I second that. please stop talking.

[jjgold]

Why play an older guy that you go 6-10?

The cleve coach is fired anyway..he is horrible

Not an NFL coach

Truth. Belichek couldn't win until he got out of cleveland.

[jjgold]

I hope Cleveland does not win a game the rest of the year

[gryfyn1]

Because Mcnown give the browns enough of a chance to be mediocre this year and less of chance of being terrible than Manziel does.

Starting manziel is in the best interest for the long term of the franchise, but Pettine doesn't care about the long term of the franchise, as the coach of a bad team he's just trying to squeeze enough out of the team to not get fired.

[biggie12]

everyone saying poor coaching manziel is a garbage man
