The Cleveland Browns opened organized team activities Tuesday and shed some light on their murky quarterback situation.

Johnny Manziel took second-team reps behind veteran Josh McCown, according to local beat reporters.

Manziel’s offseason has been marred by a 10-week stay in rehab, but has since drawn positive reviews from several teammates.

"The way he is now is night and day from last year," left tackle Joe Thomas told NFL Network in April. "He has a bright future ahead of him."

Remember that one time when Seth Rollins called Johnny Manziel "Johnny Idiot Face" during an episode of Raw in Cleveland?

Turns out it wasn't just for laughs—the WWE world heavyweight champion was actually inspired by Johnny Football's face.

...

"He definitely did not know it was coming, and it was certainly something that was off the top of my head. Johnny was born with one of those faces that you just want to punch. You just wanna put your fist in his face. There's nothing you can do about it. Maybe it's the way he comes off. I don't know. It just came to me when I saw him sitting there and saw him taking the whole thing in. And I was just like, 'Wow.' It just seemed right. So let it rip."

The Germans actually have a word for it: backpfeifengesicht. http://www.omgfacts.com/lists/10598...m-for-a-face-that-badly-needs-a-punch-ab908-2

I've always assumed that Bielema's face is next to it in the dictionary.

Johnny Manziel is getting shut down for the rest of the preseason

Johnny Manziel's elbow soreness probably will keep him out of the Cleveland Browns' preseason game this weekend, Browns head coach Mike Pettine told the media Wednesday.

Although an MRI showed there was no structural damage, Manziel's elbow has bothered him at least since high school because of his unorthodox throwing motion.

"Sometimes when a guy drops that elbow and has that three-quarter release it’s going to put a little bit more pressure on the elbow than on the shoulder," Pettine said. "This is something he's been dealing with since high school."

Pettine was quick to downplay the severity of the injury, adding that if it were the regular season it would be "more than likely" that Manziel could play.

He also insisted that he and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo had no plans to change his throwing motion at this point in his career.

"I think that’s an advantage that he has. There are times he’ll change his arm angle to make a throw. If you stick with your traditional throwing motion, the ball’s either going to get knocked down, (or) you’ve got a guy in your way, you’ve got an outstretched arm, you want to go ahead and drop the ball down a little bit and make a throw."
Still, that Manziel's soreness is the direct result of a problem with his fundamentals does not bode well for Johnny Football's future. Former Browns quarterback Tim Couch, who battled elbow tendinitis over the course of his career, expressed his worry to Cleveland.com.

"When a quarterback takes some time off initially and feels good and then it flares up again, I think that's cause for a little bit of concern," he said.
With Manziel sidelined, the Browns added journeyman quarterback Pat Devlin to their roster. Connor Shaw, the third-string quarterback in Cleveland, is likely to miss the season with a thumb injury. After a tumultuous rookie season, Manziel is starting off Year Two on the wrong note.

Ever heard of the expression: Cut Bait And Run?

I think that applies to Manziel:

why give him what he wants, which is a way out of cleveland, stick him on scout team D and let 1st team O plow into him for a couple of weeks/months. If he doesn't show up fine him. Bottom line cutting him isn't the right way to go.
