Browns plot Week 5 for Manziel Pretty obvious how these things work for most NFL teams. New QB that
everyone wants to see succeed arrives. Incumbent still deserves job based
on body of work. Coach names the incumbent the starter but with an eye on
the schedule that suggests he is likely to fail. New guy comes in when team
does poorly, which is somewhat based on schedule he faced.
Browns open season with Pitt, New Orleans and Balt. Quite possibly an 0-3
start. Brown get a bye week 4. Projection is Manziel gets named starter after
game 3 and gets two weeks to prep for game @ Tennessee.
