Quote:I'm with everyone in that I  want to see BB5 start. However watching the Browns last night. I'm wondering if Dave & Gus vehemently

stated that Henne will be the starter to take as much pressure off of him as well as Bortles. Bortles just looks like the type of kid who is oblivious to pressure. Hoyer was awful last night

but I'm wondering if he is feeling some said pressure due to having the giant shadow of Johnny football looming ominously behind him.

Do you think Henne would have fell that same pressure if G&D made it a complete open competition?

 

Just pondering.. 

 

I am sure they dont want to add anxiety to Blake as Gus has already stated, but Johnny Football Manziel's problem is himself.  Prior to preseason he wasnt putting the work in like Blake was and actively seeking additonal help to improve and learn but rather drinking with his fake friends in LasVegas partying every chance he got.  That's fine, what you want to do in your off time is your business (as long as its legal) but when it comes time to play you cant perform the way he did last night and expect to be handed acclaims & the throne of the Browns Offense.  He certainly did help his case by acting like a fool and flicking off the opposing team regardless of what was chanted at him.  I mean you are in a leader role and have to carry yourself in a manner that demonstrates cool, calm, collective focus even at times when your pateince is being tried.  He proved last night that he is so not ready to start in week 1.  The browns might start him anyways because Hoyer stinks.  He was just as bad as Manziel and Henne wouldve look brillant if he played instead of either of them in that game.   Unlike Blake Bortles whom is very modest and even after playing stellar two weeks of preseason admits he has much to learn and threw a couple passes he wished he could take back.  That is the sign of a leader, not manziel he's proving why teams like Dallas passed on the guy.
