Terry Bradshaw blasts Johnny Manziel during FOX halftime show

All of that checks out as true. His job, at minimum, is to have his team ready to beat opponents it should beat.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback started Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers and was having a pretty rough day with the Browns up just 10-3 at halftime.

CLEVELAND (AP) – Browns coach Mike Pettine dismisses any outside critics of quarterback Johnny Manziel because they don’t see how hard he’s working to improve. Manziel was fun to watch, not just because of his occasional scramble, but because of his arm to rifle passes to receivers down field. “Johnny!” during the second half of the game.

Manziel celebrated his latest escape from the doghouse by leading the beleaguered Browns to a 24-10 victory over beleaguered San Francisco in Sunday’s Beleaguered Bowl. Consider: Barring a garbage-time touchdown drive in the game’s final four minutes, the 49ers offense produced 127 net yards and one field goal. The running back rushed 20 times for 145 yards and two scores in the win. The Browns were able to run the ball with great success, netting 230 yards on the ground versus the 49ers defense.

Manziel overcame his one glaring mistake, accurately found wide-open receivers and looked more like an National Football League starter that at any point in his two seasons as a pro. “Defense played lights out”. “When our defense plays the way that they did, run the ball the way that we did and then that opens up some of the play-action pass game”. He said Sunday that he still believes the team is improving and that the “poor” performance was an “execution problem” and not an “effort problem”. For those forming an early opinion, I’ve put together five reasons the team should be leaning toward making a clean break from the most talented quarterback on their roster. That’s when Manziel admitted to drinking in the afternoon before the infamous incident with his girlfriend while speeding down Interstate 90 in Avon.

Crowell was the main force behind the Browns’ third touchdown when his 54-yard run to the 5 set up a 3-yard touchdown run for a 17-3 lead with 8:53 to play. Play scapegoat roulette if you want, but the truthHoweverm of the matter is that just as one player or coach can not singlehandedly win a game, a single coach or player can not lose a game either. But the competition wasn’t stellar: neither team is going to sniff the playoffs, and my prediction is that Manziel won’t sniff the starting position again if and when the Browns get someone decent behind center. “We played poorly. There’s not a man in this locker room that doesn’t own part of this, starting with me”.
