Hot Take: Johnny Manziel should be starting

Josh McCown isn’t taking the Browns anywhere anytime soon. At least Johnny Manziel offers some peace of mind that you either have a completely failed draft pick, or perhaps there’s something there.

If you want to go ahead and make a conclusion about Manziel’s rookie year after his rookie season, you should probably lighten up a bit.

I think after this game, we’re all going to see how critical it is for the Browns to move along with the Manziel experiment and make some long-term investments at the position after this season if it doesn’t work out. Josh McCown isn’t going to help answer any question.

Next: Seahawks vs. Rams
