Report: Hoyer to start for the Browns week 1

According to ESPN's Bob Holtzman, the "feeling in the locker room" is the Browns will start Brian Hoyer in Week 1.
Holtzman expects coach Mike Pettine to make the announcement "well before" the third preseason game, which is when camp battles are usually decided. In other words, the Browns may have already internally chosen Hoyer over Johnny Manziel. "We're all expecting Hoyer to start," one player told Holtzman. There were murmurs after the draft that the coaching staff didn't want Manziel, and that he was essentially handpicked by owner Jimmy Haslam. Pettine suggested in an ESPN Cleveland interview earlier this week that Manziel could spend his rookie season as a "package quarterback," similar to how Colin Kaepernick opened his career in San Francisco, and how Donovan McNabb did in Philadelphia.
quote:
Sources tell the Cleveland Plain Dealer the Browns have been "alarmed" by the off-field actions of Johnny Manziel since trading up to select him with the 22nd overall pick in May's draft.
Per the CPD, the team was particularly bothered by a picture that surfaced of Manziel rolling a $20 bill in a bar bathroom, suggestive of someone preparing to use snort cocaine. "Some in the organization feel he's lost ground in the quarterback competition heading into camp," adds beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot. Manziel reportedly "regressed in practice" this spring, and team brass believes it resulted from "not enough dedication to the playbook." Sources also told Cabot the Browns "have been stunned by his non-stop antics" off the field. All signs continue to point to Brian Hoyer starting Week 1.

Considering Dick LeBeau's history of eating rookie/young QBs alive, not really a bad decision by Cleveland IMO.
Plus, Steelers/Browns is historically one of the dirtiest games every season.

Fans will be screaming for JFF after Hoyers first incompletion

Bold Prediction: Tim Tebow will have more career playoff victories than Johnny Football.

FWIW he was not good in practice/spring games in college either. He's probably best served by sitting to start his career though

Bummer. I was excited about Dick LeBeau making him look stupid.

Isn't it kinda odd/funny that the pic of him rolling the coke straw barely got any media play? A mention or 2 here and there. By the end of the day, it was an after thought. That's a pretty big deal, don't ya think????

Cleveland Browns must really want to go through another 4-5 win season again. They love it.

As he should. They actually looked like a decent offense with Hoyer at the helm. 3-0 as a starter last year.
And imagine the media and public uproar if they throw Manziel in there, before he is ready, and he struggles.

Is this a surprise to anyone? What other option do they have?

I hope Johnny can catch the professional level, except the negative news,he is a excellent qb.
