Browns to start Austin Davis, not Johnny Manziel, at QB

The Browns are not walking back on their punishment of Johnny Manziel.

The team announced it will start Austin Davis -- not Manziel -- against the Bengals this weekend in a clear indication that the team is all but finished with the former first-round pick. NFL Media's Rand Getlin was first to report the news.

The Browns confirmed Davis as the starter later in the morning.

"Austin took advantage of his opportunity on Monday night," Pettine said in an article posted to the team's web site. "He was prepared, played well and put us in position to win. He's been great in the quarterback room all season and he has earned the right to start on Sunday. We expect him to play well."

While Manziel may get another chance with another coaching staff, Pettine is willing to sacrifice what could be a crucial evaluation period at the end of this lost season to instead show Manziel that there are consequences for lying to the staff and jumping back into an old hard-partying lifestyle.

Photos and videos of Manziel partying emerged following the team's bye week, just a short time after Pettine named him the starter for the remainder of the season. After researching the origin and timing of the photos and videos, Pettine made Manziel the team's third-string quarterback against the Ravens on Monday. When Josh McCown was injured, he sent Davis into the game.

Man, it would suck to be a Browns fan.

As if the stupid helmet that has no logo and is not even brown weren't bad enough.

They really do not want to give Manziel another shot it would appear. I guess I can't say I blame them.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Manziel come on down!

 

[Aven8]

Davis should have been our backup. Stupid FO. This guy is a player.

At this point it looks like the Bronws can't wait for the season to be over so they can cut him. Unless they think another offseason will straighten him out.

Manziel come on down!

He can "come on down" on The Price Is Right for all I care just stay away from the Cowboys.

Jerry, there you go................

 

[NIBGoldenchild]

You guys should pick up Manziel as Romo's backup and future potential franchise QB....please?

Commanders should be playing RG3 over Cousins.

I'm thinking they're going to cut him. That's why I think he's going to wind up being the guy who Jerry goes with instead of drafting a QB.

Some here would say Austin Davis is a better prospect than Manziel anyway.

Like Bill Parcells use to say, you have to earn your logo.

I'd say he seems to be a better NFL professional Manziel, that's for sure.

I haven't even mentioned my team. I'm just saying that Manziel fella seems professional, respectful, and oh so talented. But seriously, considering how JJ felt about him during the draft, you know he's going to make a run for him if he comes available in the off-season.

I like what I see of Davis...

You guys show up here and post when things are good or if you are in better position than Cowboys.

Then the ship hits the fan.... ========> gone!

Manziel will prob be a cowboy.
Upside for him is better than RGIII and cousins.

The Browns use a merit system similar to that of Ohio State where players earn decals on their helmets. Problem is no one has every earned any.
