Hold on…do you mean you can't succeed at the quarterback position in the NFL by just upchucking lobs into the middle of the field like you're at the county fair trying to throw rings around milk bottles?
Are you telling me that what you could do at Texas A&M, you can't do in the pros? That everyone is faster than you? More athletic? You mean if you don't study hard all the time in a league with so many intelligent men who bust their ass in the classroom, you might fail?

Was Manzoomer on the field? I never noticed. He’s such a little fellar.
Marvin Lewis was right. He’s a midget.
Doug Flutie was smaller - and he could play.
Manziel looks like an idiot trying to play with real men.
Browns have a great tradition of relieving the anxiety of overrated college quarterbacks who are squirming in the green room by drafting them late in the first round. Brady Quinn, Johnny Manziel......Who’s next?
Beyond that, the whole team was flat after a demoralizing loss last week and an injury-riddled defense that is about half the practice squad. Coaching was lackluster all around.
Browns are out for this year, maybe can salvage an 8-8 season.

that one reminds me of rg3, colin kaepernick and mark sanchez.
Well at least he not an heisman trophy winning, unapologetic Christian.
Because apparently that’ equals Really, Really Really incompetent., apparently.
/ running and ducking....
I guess he just looked small.
This was covered in so much more intelligent detail at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3237131/posts
And it was LIVE...

When Joe Buck asked Hall of Famer Troy Aikmen about Johnny Football’s debut, he basically said that when he compared to his first game as a rookie, Johnny Football looked pretty good!
Good thing Cleveland fans are forgiving.
They had Bernie Kosar.
The Heisman curse strikes again.
Its a good thing Cleveland is still on the map....But I ain’t talking football...
Jameis Winston.
One first starting game does not make an NFL QB overnight.
Not sure if Manziel has the NFL goods but he needs time to develop. Probably a smart idea to start him even this late in the year. Its not like Cleveland was going far anyway this season.
