Sorry Johnny Manziel but those major boosts didn’t help the decision to make him the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Both LeBron James and Drake publicly gave Manziel a vote of confidence and said he should be the starter. Coach Mike Pettine gave Manziel a chance to get in the game during the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills after Brian Hoyer was struggling. Pettine waited to announce who would continue as the starter but today it was reported that he would go with Brian Hoyer.
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Brian Hoyer will remain the Browns starting quarterback. Hoyer, who was benched for Johnny Manziel during Sunday’s loss at Buffalo, gets the start this week when the Colts come to town.
Manziel did score a touchdown on his first drive in the game but on the second one he had a pretty big blunder that left him laid out in the end zone.
The Browns’ coaching staff has said all season that Hoyer gives them the best chance to win right now, and they apparently still feel that way. Cleveland is in a fight for a playoff berth, and Hoyer is the quarterback who will lead them in that fight. For at least another week.
