Lemme be the first to say it...
Johnny Manziel looks worlds better this year than last. Nice scramble that was called back and followed it up on a 3rd and 19 with a long TD throw.

Manziel has found a way to beat the blitz basically every play.
Browns online is getting destroyed on run plays. Their o-line and the Jets run D are both worlds better than the rest of their respective teams, but I thought the Browns o-line was better than this.

I switched from that game to Red Zone. How has Manziel looked since the TD pass?

lol. They just showed the 3rd and 10 conversion when the receiver was on his knees.

Browns approaching 200 yds total offense in the first half and a 2/1 TOP lead.

Well, that is like saying my first healthy movement after a bout with diarrhea looks worlds better. I mean, it does, but is still, you know, shit.

Pretty good, not super great. Had that lucky 3rd and 10 catch when Revis just stood watched a receiver on his knees make the catch. One INT on a errant back shoulder pass attempt was his only real mistake. Evading the blitz very well.

How did that helmet hit during the slide not draw a flag?

Surely you have changed your mind now.

I didn't watch any more of the game after the TD pass. Switched over to Red Zone and didn't see too many Browns offensive highlights.
That said, from watching him in preseason and early in this game, he looked like an actual NFL QB. We'll see how it goes from here but i'm not going to be disappointed if he tanks.

After that TD, I believe he was 8 for 20 with a pick and less than 90 yards.
Fluke TDs are fluke TDs, regardless of who throws them.

I wouldn't call it a fluke TD, but i'm not here to defend a turd stain.
He's definitely playing better than he was last year but 5-11 seems like the ceiling for them.

He looked horrible. No pocket awareness and terrible decision making. Better hope McCown is ok, Brownies!

I bet that Browns fans were friggin estatic for all of 10 minutes though when they all thought Manziel turned a corner...
Right into a brick wall.

Just for reference, this was posted right before his long 3rd down run where he got clobbered and holding called it back anyway. The next play he fumbled and I quit watching and just I flipped between the Green Bay/Chicago game and the Pirates.

It was very college-style reception TD: blown/gamble coverage that resulted in a wide open receiver.
The talented NFL throws are the ones that thread the needle.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
