wonder how my old Pal El Kabong is taking that
His boy Mack Brown (man of utmost integrity) recruited Jameis Winston, Johnny Manziel, RG III and that Tannehill guy who QB's for the Dolphins...
and didn't want any of them to play QB at Texas
that's three Heisman Trophy winning QB's that he thought would be better off playing another position 
El Kabong has been MIA for awhile now

The bolded is really the only point to be made. Every business has policies that are known to all employees in advance. Whether you or I believe some policies are silly or not, it takes a real dummy to risk his financial life over any of those house rules.

Looks like this is real. Good luck to Cleveland, although they haven't been too smart about anything for a long, long time.

The Eagles may have landed a value with their 4th round selection.
This guy is going to be a good defensive back in coverage.
He keeps the game in front of him and closes on the ball very quickly.

Good stuff.
Very interesting to see what they're looking for and not looking for. Pats look at everything, on and off the field. A strong culture is what gives them consistency.

Johnny Feeble
What a bunch of hype over this guy.
Scary how the media can build someone, or something, up
and the public swallows it hook, line, and sinker.
When I heard someone had been anointed "Johnny Football"
during their college career, I shook my head.
Unitas or Elway deserve that title through their pro achievements.
An up and coming college kid?
He may look great against other college kids.
That probably won't cut it in the NFL.

It was a few years ago but the saying stuck with me and IMO has merit about QB's.
In college they throw to open receivers and in the NFL they throw to spots where receivers are going to be open.
Huge difference in many ways.

Why all the hate (from everyone) against Johnny Football? Seems like he's being held to some kind of higher standard than any other 22nd overall selection with plenty of people really happy to see him fail.
Why him?

Not sure, but if you were to look back at some of the greats you might find similar results in their debut. Not that he's destined to be great by any stretch. It's way early to write him off entirely.

Everyone is writing him off after one loss. Not only are they writing him off, they're sending him COD and they're overjoyed at his failure.

That is why they drafted Aaron Hernandez.

Some of this is "Johnny Footballs" personality and much of it is the hype as Horses4 stated. The coach seems to be somewhat of a dullard too. Watch some of his interviews. The "TV" people and so called analysis folks were pressing for this as soon as Hoyer had a couple of bad games. When is the last time Cleveland managed anything? "Lets start him the 14th game of the year during the playoff run." Fools, shut off the TV and block out the "Hype media". You should know you got a kid with zero experience. Some of those jack asses actually picked the Browns to win this week, others actually thought he would pick up the team. Of course, either way the jerk offs on TV had something to sell or hype....whether he looks good or is a flop. They don't really give a shit....its about ratings. And Cleveland, the circus that it usually is...throws the kid to the lions den. Just a dumb, bad move all around. What do people expect? Now the general public is jaded, these jack offs on TV made it sound like he would be gang busters. Every time Cleveland struggled. They were itching to beg him in there and these morons in Cleveland obliged. Now watch this week some of the same jack asses that raved for him will be questioning him. The guy is not even ready yet. There are certain teams that are such a mismanaged joke in this league and Cleveland is one of them. Cincy coming off a loss smelled blood yesterday and the team support for Johnny was crap. Hey Mike Pettine, you, the owner, and the GM should turn off the TV and manage the team. Maybe if you won now and again you wouldn't need a circus to sell tickets. If this kid stays around people like this....you can write him off...even if he's good.

It's not hate for Johnny Manziel.
I wish my Bears had him - on the sideline, for now.
The kid obviously has loads of talent, but he needs a
learning period to bring it out properly.
What I hate is all the media hype.
It's a total circus.

At 55% completions this year, Hoyer has been the most inaccurate quarterback in the league...and his team had lost 3 out of 4. The pressure was mounting on Pettine to make a QB change even before the Indy game, and there would have been hell to pay if he stayed with Hoyer and still lost the Cinci game. With Cleveland being such a stranger in the playoffs, coach Pettine had to roll the dice and start Manziel. The classic no-win situation...IMO.
