Browns Forming an Identity

     

   Earlier today, Brian Hoyer was named the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns over Johnny Manziel. In my opinion, I believe that was the right choice, at least for right now. All though Brian Hoyer has only started 2+ regular season games, he does have more experience that Manziel. Even though the Browns are trying to find their identity since coming back to the NFL, this is the way to do it. They had a "quarterback controversy" throughout camp. We all know you must have a quarterback to help take your franchise where it needs to go. That's exactly what the Browns are doing.

   Brian Hoyer was the right pick to start the season. Not only has he been in the league for 5 years, but he has studied under the likes of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. Even though he was a backup, he did play, and start, in many preseason games getting to see the way other teams play with their opposing defenses. Just by picking the brain of some of the best in the league, you get to apply what they taught you when you actually do play.

   We all know that Manziel was the 22nd overall pick of this year's draft. Being drafted so high,certainly comes with high expectations. Manziel still needs to learn a lot. Partying with the likes of Justin Beiber in Las Vegas is not the way to be starting off your not so brief NFL career. On top of that, its not like he was coming in to wide open competition. Manziel is not Andrew Luck, Colin Kapernick, or Russel Wilson, he can't win on impact right away. Manziel needs to learn. I would not be shocked if he takes over anywhere from 4 to 6 games into to the season, but he needs to learn.

   The Browns did make a right decision two ways. The first being to give Hoyer the starting job at the beginning of the season. It gives them a better shot to win right away. Second, it gives Manziel, who will eventually take over the starting role, a chance to learn. The Browns are finally starting to form an identity. They may not have their top reciever right away, but just by having Manziel they have found an identity. We all know that even though he isnt the greatest, Manziel is better than someone like Tebow. Let's see what ManzielMania can bring to the table in the NFL.
