This has to be a nightmare for JF, Its the Cleveland curse and its already collapsing around him only a day in.
JFF has good news and bad news today. Good news is that the Browns cut Vince Young. Bad news is that it's rumored that Brian Hoyer will be the starter.
I don't think either would do well this year with no WR's so while I listed it as "bad news" for JFF, it might actually be good news.

LOL Johnny: Cleveland quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains said a text he received from Johnny Manziel on the opening night of the NFL draft last Thursday helped get the ball rolling toward the Browns picking the former Texas A&M star quarterback. During a radio interview on "SportsTalk with Bo Mattingly" on ESPN Arkansas 96.3, Loggains said that as Manziel slid down the draft board, he sent him a text that read: "I wish you guys would come get me. Hurry up and draft me because I want to wreck this league together." Added Loggains: "When I got that text, I forwarded it to the owner (Jimmy Haslam) and to the head coach (Mike Pettine). I'm like, 'This guy wants to be here. He wants to be part of it.' As soon as that happened, Mr. Haslam said, 'Pull the trigger. We're trading up to go get this guy.'
I think they'll have a similar NFL career. Johnny's best chance is to latch on as a "just winz" type of QB for a few seasons before it all falls apart. I'm sure at some point they'll get him on camera talking about "When I get into the HOF" just like they did with Vince.
