ESPN analyst Tony Grossi tweeted that he is hearing the Browns will announce Manziel as the quarterback for the remainder of the season. “We will find out the character of our teammates moving forward”. After Davis was frightful in a 37-3 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, Pettine is forced to start Manziel in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers.

The saga of Johnny Manziel seems to be never-ending.
“We have a staff meeting at 11 a.m. on a typical week, but that’s to review the game, position-by-position, player-by-player, kind of let that soak in, and then, later in the day circle back”. Big Ben threw for three TDs and that’s one only of six games the Bengals have allowed multiple TD passes at PBS in that stretch: Andrew Luck (four), Cam Newton (two), Blake Bortles (two), Peyton Manning (two) and Philip Rivers (two).
Davis completed 25 of 38 passes for 230 yards with no touchdowns and one interception for a passer rating of 71.2.
Do you remember that Coca-Cola Christmas season commercial with the song, “I’d like to teach the world to sing in ideal harmony?” We scored only three points.
“We just didn’t play that well”, DeCastro said. Hill showed the desire he displayed in 2014 and was even successful at the “Dawg Pound Leap” this time around. He was confident. I thought he had a good feel for the plan. “Get a chance to watch the tape and we’ll all circle back, circle up on it and see where we are with it”.
Manziel looked to be his team’s quarterback of the future. Manziel will be going up against a defense that is led by former Browns head coach Eric Mangini, who is the 49ers defensive coordinator.
Asked whether Manziel’s violation of trust a few weeks ago would factor into his impending decision, Pettine said, “We hit the reset button and throw everything on the table, so it’ll all be discussed”.
One day after Cleveland’s worst loss in 10 years, coach Mike Pettine said a seven-game losing streak during a season spiraling downward quickly has frayed nerves in and around the team’s facility.
That video, combined with Manziel’s attempted cover-up – he reportedly lied to Pettine about when the video was taken and also told friends to corroborate his story – prompted Pettine to punish Manziel by dropping him to No. 3 on the depth chart.
“We are just going to fall back on what we know how to do”.

The blowout raised more questions about the franchise’s direction, and Pettine, who is just 2-15 in his last 17 games, said there’s not complete agreement on what should be done to fix things. On the tape, Pettine will see that Davis did not play well. If his failures as the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were not evident enough, McCown had no right to be listed as a starting quarterback in the National Football League and certainly not on a team devoid of any offensive hope – hope that could only be gained by a dynamic player with play making potential such as Manziel.
