Heeeere's Johnny!

After a tough loss to the winless Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer finds himself on the hotseat. With his 16 completions on 41 attempts and an interception, it's easy to blame Hoyer for the loss to a winless team. However, Hoyer isn't all to blame for the game. Yes, he played poorly. Because of that, the pressure for Hoyer to perform well this Sunday against another winless team, the Oakland Raiders, is at an all-time high, because Johnny is lurking through the door and into the hearts of many Browns fans everywhere.

 Manziel was the Browns' first round selection in this past year's NFL Draft, and a team that drafts a quarterback in the first round usually means that the quarterback will take over the starting role somewhere in the future. That plan has since been put on the back burner, since Hoyer has been playing so well by not turning the ball over, and putting his team in the best chance to win football games. But, since he played poorly against a winless team, he must win this weekend in order to secure his job as the starting quarterback as well as a contract with the team for next season. Manziel has been notorious for his gutsy plays and success in college, and many hope to see the Heisman trophy winner in an NFL game soon. That all depends on this weekend. If Hoyer plays well, then Johnny and his supporters will have to continue to play the waiting game. If Hoyer doesn't play well, then Manziel Mania will finally become a reality in Cleveland.
