Shit I agree with Ghoolie.. What is wrong with me? And TCPO is right too. Manziel is fine. I would rather stick with what we have and draft defense and WR.. Everyone here seems to have been infected with Walter's bipolar complex. One second we have the best team ever and the next we should cut the whole team..
I don't know about you guys, but I believe Pettine played Austin last week to see if Johnny would fuck up and do something stupid on his birthday.. Which is why the announcement was today instead of yesterday. Pettine was gathering info from the weekend. Looks like Johnny passed the test..
Belichick would have cut Manziel last year after missing practices, team meetings, and showing up hungover.. Manziel wasn't demoted to 3rd string for just this bye week. It has been 2 years in the making..
I don't think that's the full truth. If Haslam is planning on firing Pettine and Haslam had no say in the benching of Manziel, why wouldn't he just fire Pettine now and start Manziel? Clearly there is more to the Manziel story than what you make of it. One twitter message claiming to hear from one browns player isn't much proof of anything. Maybe Manziel was the "source" haha
What should Pettine do? He didn't tell him to taunt or line up offsides? Bench him the rest of the game? Turbin didn't play at all on Thursday and I'm pretty sure we all know why..
Tour is right. Rolling out of the pocket is fine but not at the expense of missing a wide open receiver.. Pettine comments made sense. All that said, record means nothing at this point so just start Johnny the rest of the way and pray he improves...
