If the Browns lose this week they need to start Johnny Manziel
“Brian is still firmly our starter,” said Pettine, still admittedly feeling the sting of Sunday’s 24-6 loss to the previously winless Jaguars. “Nothing’s changed. Each week we make the decision as to if we want to include Johnny in the plan.”
I feel that if the Raiders pull off a win this week the Browns will pull Hoyer. It is the right move, because the Raiders have not won a game yet. This could be a trap game, because the Raiders team has been playing way better.
Hoyer did not look good, he was hurrying his throws against the aggressive front, dropped his worst career game on Jaguars, completing a career-low 39% of his attempts (16 of 41) for 215 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. He earned a career-low 46.3 rating and slipped to 6-3 as a Brown.
If the Browns lose this week, back to back losses to teams with zero wins, it is time to pull the plug, do you agree?
