Naming no names, there are a handful of players that recognize they have one shot at fame/glory, endorsement, Opera life story, book deal, etc... And that one shot is more dependent on them being a great headline than a great football player.

I am not a fan of the approach but I can not fault a person for wanting to capitalize on his one shot at securing his financial future.

Cleveland I suspect is getting the drama that they wanted. Neither Hoyer nor Manziel is ready to start a regular season NFL game. Hoyer has been around 6 years with a total of 4 starts, Manziel is a rookie with out any experience. Neither are a solid choice for a starter IMHO.

The situation in Cleveland is either an engineered soap-opera, or an example of piss pore management.

Definitey the latter, and if it is also the former, they are doing an excellent job.

They have a life-long Steeler fan as an owner, and I think he is being indicted. They play musical chairs with coaches & FO, and have had 30+ qbs's and zero playoff games in the past 10 years.

I almost feel sorry for the Brown faithful fan base. They deserve better.

Manziel could possibly be a decent NFL QB if he had time to develop with some solid pieces around him. He's got none of that. Manziel is probably gonna start at some point this year. If he even looks OK I'm impressed. They've got very little talent on offense.
