What should the Brownies do about Hoyer and Manziel?

Should they keep Hoyer or let him go?

Shop Manziel around, and pray some dumb GM thinks he can be a good QB

Why would they let Hoyer go, guy is doing well ?

This.

If you can dump Manizel on some poor team, Do it!

You keep Hoyer, obviously.

The deal you sign him to depends on how the rest of the season goes. If the Browns continue to be competitive, you can add a few years to his contract.

You also keep Manziel. How retarded would it be to trade him away before even developing or playing him??? You keep him on the bench to learn and develop behind Hoyer. He is still your QB of the future.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Hoyer will be gone.

 

[Tharvot]

Hoyer will be gone.

Based on what exactly? Clearly not his play on the field thus far. You projecting a collapse coming up?

probably this guy

While this is true, what do the Cowboys have to offer? Nothing that would be worth the trade...unless they threw in their #1 and a few other picks. Even Jerry isn't that stupid (i think).

No reason to dump Manziel. He is learning and developing. Why rush the process when you don't have to?

I'm no Browns fan, but credit must be given where it is due.

Why trade Johnny? What ever happened to people having patience with letting young QB's starting their careers on the bench and learning?

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Problem with keeping them both is $$$$$. Do you really want to pay two QB's decent money? The NFL is as much about allocating certain cap %'s across your team as it is drafting.

This.

Not every QB is going to come out of college and be ready to roll right away. The idea of trading your first round pick because your journeyman is playing well is asinine. Even if they wanted to, nobody is going to give up anything for a player that you obviously believe has less potential than a guy like Hoyer.

Manziel makes like 2 mil per year on average (41st amongst NFL QBs). And if Hoyer keeps up this level of play, its not to justify some massive contract.

You're looking at a potential Brees vs. Rivers situation. The Chargers had to make a choice and decided to go with the unproven Rivers over the veteran Brees.

Are you saying that Hoyer is a placeholder quarterback? Are you really going invest starter money on Manziel and allow him to ride the bench? Teams might be looking to trade for Hoyer or Manziel, depending on the QB class of 2015.

Where is Jerry Jones??!!

 

[The Native Tongues]

I say pay the man. Manziel will eventually play, but it's never a bad idea to have 2 good QB's.


I think Cleveland messed up letting Weeden go, but alas, he is on Americas Team now.

It would have been different if the guy was in his early-mid 20s. He's not...he's the same age as Hoyer, and Hoyer is 1000x better.

How long did Aaron Rodgers sit the bench behind Favre?

There is no reason to rush the process along. Given what Manziel showed in the pre-season, the market isn't exactly hot for him. No point in trying to move either if the Browns keep playing well. Let Hoyer continue to man the ship for another year or 2, let Manziel learn and develop, and when it comes time, play the QB that gives you the best chance to win. For now and for the foreseeable future, that QB is Hoyer.
