DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2015 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 28 Titans 14 Manziel to start

I have zero problem with what Manziel said. I thought it was rather clever, actually.

That was a reasonable question. Getting blown out on MNF, you're laughing and joking on the sidelines. Like, what's so funny, Derek???

Whats a Merril Hodge, sounds like a upscale San franciso bath house or a disease, man i got the worst case of Merril hodges you have ever seen see now thats clever.

With McCown its definitely best to take a couple weeks off after suffering a concussion...He's older now and its not worth risking further complications later...Sound decision...Hoping Manziel takes the reigns and has a superb game(s)

I am very excited for the kid. This is the kind of game that is such a tremendous test of mental makeup. The horrible start last year against the Bengals. The blowout loss last week. Facing a Lebeau defense. The criticism by much of the media. Mariotta coming to town after lighting it up with 4 td throws. This is the game everyone in America wants to see.

The big stage is why Johnny was drafted in the first and he needs to show it on the big stage today. I think we learn a great deal about Johnny Manziel today.

Well JF, here's your chance to really start adding solid and legit "positive" articles. Not this "he moved into a golfing community" and "he went to rehab" and "he's starting to 'maybe' act mature on/off the field" and really lay it on the haters (such as myself) with your prep and performance today.

I see some pass protection being able to hold up, so hopefully I hope we see some JF staying in the pocket and going through his progressions. Win or lose, he could really do himself good with a nice performance!

Say what you want about JFF, he's def. a polarizing player.. Since its been announced as starter the media coverage has been crazy. He seems like a good kid who wants to do well. Recognizes his mistakes and is trying to be the kind of player everyone wants him to be. Pass or fail as a player, I can't really do anything but root for him that he succeeds, because unlike so many that started down that road..cough gordon cough, he put in the work and has done everything he could to show that's not who he is. So either way I hope he does well for himself this week.

I agree ... the good thing about having JFF is that he's at least something to watch, regardless of your own personal opinions of his ability

I think he stuck it in Hoge's face today. Those were some very nice deep passes, and poise in the pocket.

Hoge is a big mouth ex-Steeler who loves to say controversial stuff so he can be brought up on sports programs. IMO the guy took one to many to the melon.

i think it would have been hilarious if at the post game presser manziel had a huge tie on

While I think that would have been funny.... he got his one-liner in, time to let it go.. now if he ends up wearing one to the super bowl parade... that I would be very much in favor of.
