Manziel isn't starting for a few good reasons.
1. He's not ready.
2. The Browns have 3 tough games to start and then a bye to make the switch.
3. They don't have great weapons without Josh Gordon.
If Gordon gets suspended, the QB will have it rough early. No sense making Manziel look brutal.
And potentially ruining his confidence from the start.
This douchebag could suck and get blown up and still think his cool.Quote:

So Johnny is a real what? QB? :D :D :DQuote:

I'd prefer Tebow over Manziel
why not ? they made you believe Kaepernick and Wilson are good QBs so this shouldn't be any different.Quote:

They used Calvin in the slot quite a bit last night but that was it. When he left that offense can't do anything and doesn't look like it's trying.
What?? So ESPN controls everything? From the NFL, to the owners, to the coaching staff, to each individual player, then to each individual person that follows the NFL?Quote:

It's a pdf so you'll have to look it up yourself, but none of the top 4 TV markets have come close to a Dynasty (NY, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia). Dallas is 5th.Quote:

I expect him to get cut when the Rams go to 53, but get immediately picked up elsewhere.

Josh Gordan's appeal denied, suspended for the season
This is a quote from him on the matter
Bolded for hilarity. Now I know the Steelers have a couple of potheads in the backfield...but Gordan's statement is funny.Quote:
I'd like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans," Gordon said in a statement. "I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didn't exercise better discretion and judgment in my case
He's disappointed that the NFL didn't exercise better judgement! :D
Yeah well your teammates, Browns front office, Head Coach, fans and the NFL are disappointed that you did not exercise better judgement. 2nd hand weed smoke :fp:
Plus not to mention the issues AFTER that. Pulled over for speeding with a passenger arrested for possession of weed. And then after that, arrested for DWI, all while this whole thing was hanging over his head. What a dumbass...Quote:

Even stepping back from my following of the Browns, his appeal actually made sense to me. The NFL standard for "use" is much lower than any other sporting body's, including the Olympics, Cycling and other major American Sports, and the NFL testing procedure is as follows: Take an A sample and B sample. If the A sample shows the required amount, the B sample merely needs to show anything above 0, not meet the same standard. Gordon's A sample met the standard, his B sample didn't. So if they'd been switched he wouldn't have failed.Quote:

Should he have excercised better judgement? Sure. But does it pass the smell test? Nope.
My understanding that it was based on multiple failed tests not just this. He was already suspended last season for 2 games, then this and an arrest.
He obviously has an issue with marijuana as I've heard he failed multiple tests in college as well. Granted a good part of players are smoking but apparently aren't getting caught atleast...or arrested (except for Gordan and the Steelers backfield :fp:)
His suspension was based on multiple failures of the league's drug policy.Quote:

As much as Josh Gordon has been a dumbass, he's still young and can turn his career around. With that said, I think the NFL should have allowed him to play in the CFL.
Ah okQuote:

Doesn't come into play if he doesn't have a single failure. He's young though, hopefully this is a needed wake up call. Atleast he has it early into his career and it didn't ruin his career before it even started while he was in college.
