The Browns are reportedly interested in Manziel (at #4).No way JM goes in the top 5. But you never know, after all it is Oakland
. I see that, don't get me wrong the kid has talent. I just don't see him translating to the nfl. Let the browns pick him at number 4. They will just be looking for a new qb in two years like they are doing now with WeedenThe Browns are reportedly interested in Manziel (at #4).

Oh, don't get me wrong either. I'm not championing Manziel. It's just the way it is every year. QBs are the hot commodity for teams that don't have that guy on the team, and they'll overspend to get one. Even if it means over-reaching in the draft as well. We can only hope that all of these QB's stocks rise exponentially after the combine and their subsequent pro days. That makes our spot (thanks Snyder!) much more valuable..

You make a great point. And I would love for a QB needy team to trade us 2 first rounders for our number 2 pick. It would be like Christmas all over again and if it was someone like Cleveland or Oakland atleast we know we would have another high pick the next year lolOh, don't get me wrong either.

He has had a stud OL and a stud receiver in Evans his whole career. How many times has he just thrown jumps balls in the air to Evans? In the nfl those are INTs all day
I have watched tape. So you don't think his arm strength is a down side? And romo is not a good comparison. Romo has and elite arm and JM doesn't. That's all there is to itI don't know. Watch some tape on him. There were plenty of times where his line didn't protect him or the WR's didn't get open and JM had to run for his life and he'd create something out of nothing. He reminds me A LOT of Romo in that regard. An added plus is that he doesn't choke like Romo. From what I've seen of him, his only downside is his size and perhaps ego but sometimes that's a good thing for a pro athlete.
Creates turnovers lol :razz:In todays NFL, you need a quarterback who can create.
Manziel certainly creates.

You don't think McDaniels would give Hoyer a chance at the job?if lovie smith goes to the bucs, it's either them or cleveland, imo, for a trade down..especially if mcdaniels goes to cleveland..
lovie's defense has always been predicated on getting pressure with the front 4 - there's your clowney trade. peppers in chicago is a good example.
mcdaniels and qb's, nuff said lol
