IMO Manziel is on his last legs, he won't perform well in CLE (or even get a chance) - who else is going to take him. He has to beat out PIT and CIN for a wild card chance, no way, not in another 4+ years and he'll be retired.

MCcown is not bad, Cleveland is 2-6. They're not turning it around, I agree they need to start keeping/sticking with players and quit drafting/trading/releasing.

So your answer is to replace McCown with a QB who is crappier, has a lousy attitude, is a PR nightmare, and gives you less chance to win because he's younger?  McCown is a washed up journeyman QB the Browns got on the cheap, but Carson Palmer was a washed up journeyman QB the Cardinals got on the cheap and those two old bums have combined for 31 TDs and 11 INTs on the year while Johnny Manziel, EJ Manuel, Geno Smith and all those other young guys Browns and Cardinals fans wanted to get because "McCown and Palmer aren't going to win the Super Bowl" are already being trashed out of the NFL and ridiculed.

Most of the successful QBs in the NFL are vets but every year teams lose 2 games and people wonder why those teams are too stubborn to get some 22 year old with no experience and throw him into the fire and wait for the magic to happen.

Didn't you watch last year while Mr. "Never gonna win anything" Hoyer beat us and Johnny "Nothing to lose" Manziel stunk terribly against us?  McCown is better than Manziel and even if the Browns will never win the Super Bowl ever ever ever I assure you their fans would rather win than lose.

It's not rocket science. I can't believe I have to explain to a Bengals fan how the NFL season can have merit even if you don't win the Super Bowl.

EDIT: Again, this is more a rant against the fear NFL fans have of older QBs, not really a McCown vs. Manziel thing.
