    Hoyer Is Officially The Brown Starter

    Good move. Put the veteran in, and if he doesn't work out, start the rookie. Starting the rookie, and replacing him with a veteran if he failed, would hurt his progress. Maybe Manziel will be humbled for not getting everything for once.

    I figure he will be in by week 4 or 5 at the latest. Either way Clev still stinks.

    Don't sleep on their D and they're one of the youngest teams in the league. The roster does have talent. Huge holes at WR. Top 5 D by end of year.

    good and most logical call here. Johnny can come in as situational or for a quick spark to the offense throughout but definitely best to go with experience over flash.

    Usually not a fan of tying up my money that long for one bet, but seriously eyeing the under 6.5 wins here @ +117. Don't see how they get 7 wins.

    @ Pittsburgh - LOSS
    VS New Orleans - LOSS
    VS Baltimore - ?
    @ Tennessee - LOSS
    VS Pittsburgh - LOSS
    @ Jacksonville - WIN
    VS Oakland - WIN
    VS Tampa Bay - WIN
    @ Cincinnati - LOSS
    VS Houston - ?
    @ Atlanta - LOSS
    @ Buffalo - ?
    VS Indy - LOSS
    VS Cincinnati - ?
    @ Carolina - LOSS
    @ Baltimore - LOSS

    Question mark games at home with division rivals and Houston. Even if they split with 2 out of the 3 division teams (which I doubt), you have 5 wins with Oakland, Jacksonville, and Tampa at home in November. Then they would need to win at home against Houston and @ Buffalo. The defense will be solid, but a shitty journeyman QB in Hoyer and a rookie that is going to struggle and get hurt with the way he plays. Shitty franchise with a horrible track record of developing QB's. The Browns have won 3 road games in the last 3 years.

    Beat me to it. Kinda sad when a #1 pick can't beat out a career backup, especially in this day and age.

    Not enough playing time in preseason to see who is better than who it has to be during the regular season to really evaluate

    Grossman should of won the job by default and Manziel the backup. Hoyer should not even of made the team unreal.

    Maybe if he flipped 2 birds instead of a thumbs up with the other would've gotten him a better chance

    Cleveland has bigger problems than getting Johnnyboy up to speed on passing. Not even sure how sound their def is.
