rg4?

 

same issues we have seen with rg3 we are going to see with manziel.

[rayzor]

at least he went into work 5 hours early that one day to get ready for us.

[Mr. Scot]

Do you think there was anything dirty about the way he was hit? I was actually surprised to find out it was a hamstring injury. I thought for sure it was a shoulder injury based on the way he landed.

Looked fine to me.

(and yes, I can say that objectively)

Going to laugh when shaw has a way better day

[SmokinwithWilly]

Maybe he should have kept on teaching arobics

Some QBS just can't stay healthy. It's really a shame but there is a reason why so many GMS are looking for a 6'4 guy. Big bodies absorb hits better.

 

Clausen is also out for the year. He was the victim of a cheap shot though.

 

All QBS have to know how to protect themselves. Manziel has failed to show that. Sucks for him - hopefully next year he gets it and has a chance to show if he can play or not.

The Browns signed Tyler Thigpen to be the backup - I hope they keep him away from any Wendy's

[Mr. Scot]

Boy, if this doesn't beat all...

 

Manziel questions fairness of Browns looking elsewhere for a quarterback

 

“I don’t think it would be fair to give up on somebody after seven quarters of football,” Manziel told reporters on Tuesday.  “If that’s what they were in the business for and what they intended on me coming in here doing — just giving him seven quarters, giving him a couple of games and then looking somewhere else — I don’t think that’s a lot of commitment and sticking with somebody.  This league is a process and it takes a lot of time.  Nobody comes in this league right away, and I mean nobody comes in this league right away and just absolutely kills it.  That’s just not the way it works.  You can show signs.  You can show flashes, but at the same time, you need reps.  You need years of it.  You need time, and I think that’s what happens with a young quarterback.  I’m not going into this offseason, into this draft, having any concerns about that or any worries about that.  If you want to . . . it’s just something that I’m definitely not thinking about.”

 

Does he have concerns that what he did (or failed to do) with that seven quarters has created doubts about him?

 

“No, because I know when I’m in this building I’ve been doing the right things,” Manziel said.  “Like I said, I got one game against Cincinnati.  Obviously it was a rough day for us, and then a quarter and a half last week and one and a half drives in Buffalo.  If that’s what they think is enough to evaluate a quarterback, then that’s really up to them, but I’m going into this offseason working extremely hard and wanting to be the guy next year.  If that’s not the case, then obviously we’ll see down the road, but that’s my mindset going into it and I’m 100-percent sticking with it.”

 

Its not fair!!!

Found out the hard way that NFL stands for, "Not For Long!"

[mav1234]

Wow, how juvenile... I guess things went to his head at A&M.

[PantherFanOne]

Cleveland made a mistake drafting him,now they will have to pay for it by sticking with his struggles or cutting their losses and moving on.

 

[Mr. Scot]

at least he went into work 5 hours early that one day to get ready for us.

Then again...

Browns fine Manziel for being late for treatment

Then again...

Browns fine Manziel for being late for treatment

 

THAT'S what i call commitment!

 

[Mr. Scot]

Well at least we know he had a good reason

Players late on Saturday due to Manziel's late night party on Friday

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel’s tardiness on Saturday morning was precipitated by a late night of partying on Friday.

Manziel was fined for being late for treatment on his injured hamstring on Saturday, and Jason La Canfora of CBS reports that Manziel’s tardiness came after he threw a big party on Friday night, attended by many members of the team. La Canfora reports that other players were tardy on Saturday as well, although those players’ names have not been revealed.

It’s not clear whether Josh Gordon, who was suspended by the Browns for missing Saturday’s walk-through practice, was one of the players who attended Manziel’s party. But La Canfora reports that the Browns had to send their security staff to Manziel’s house to track him down on Saturday.

Manziel is on injured reserve, so he wasn’t going to play today anyway, but the fact that he’s showing up late for work — and that his party is leading other players to be late to work — is extremely alarming behavior for a franchise quarterback.

...

Manziel claims he’s taking his work seriously, but talk is cheap. Manziel’s actions suggest that he just doesn’t get it.
