You have to wonder when enough will be enough for the Browns. Sure, they invested a first-round pick in him, but they’ve walked away from first-rounders after two years when they weren’t cutting the mustard.
Trent Richardson was traded just two games into his second season and Brandon Weeden was outright released following his second season.
Manziel made three really nice throws to Travis Benjamin this season, but the rest of his career has been largely mediocre.
He couldn’t beat out career backup Brian Hoyer his rookie year and couldn’t keep the job from career journeyman Josh McCown, even after McCown got hurt in the season opener.
And, you have to wonder if there is more to the signing of Austin Davis than the Browns have let on.
The Browns have chosen to deal with the matter internally and have not publically challenged Manziel.
He is still considered the backup quarterback and is expected to be active Sunday for the home game against the Denver Broncos.
The NFL is also aware of the situation – with his being in the NFL’s drug-screening program, you have to wonder if his admission of alcohol consumption may trigger a suspension.
It goes back to the question – when will enough be enough for the Browns? Because Johnny Football is more like Johnny Distraction, Johnny Sideshow or Johnny Screw-up instead, and that’s a problem that’s not going away.
Until next time, remember that Cleveland Rocks!
