Brian Hoyer starting for Browns on Sunday vs. Colts

[BrAinPaiNt]

It's not Johnny Football time in Cleveland just yet.


Brian Hoyer will start at quarterback this week for the Browns, the team confirmed in a press release. Hoyer was replaced by Johnny Manziel in the fourth quarter last Sunday in Buffalo, but coach Mike Pettine is sticking with the veteran for at least one more week. FOX Sports first had the news.

Gotta laugh at this.

All week the press and NFL talking guys have been blabbing on how it is Johnny's time now and he is the starter now and blah blah blah. They started all the stuff during the draft and pre-season but it simmered down once Hoyer was the starter and remained the starter after a few games. He gets pulled in the 4th last week and it all started up again. Gotta love the press wanting him to be the starter so bad. It is like Tebow/RGIII part II with their infatuation with a player.

Hoyer better start off pretty hot. I'm guessing he's going to have a very short leash this week.

He's thrown like 1 TD and 6 picks in the last 4 games. They're also at home this weekend so any Hoyer mistake they're going to be chanting Johnnys name.

I don't get this decision at all.

But I'm happy about it, because that means a Manziel-to-Dallas trade might still be possible. I can't imagine this is sitting well with Manziel.

Why on earth would you want to bring JFF to Dallas?

I never understood that pre-draft, and I certainly don't understand it now considering how well Tony is playing.
