Who? What? Where? Johnny Manziel went 10-18 for 80 yards and two interceptions against Cincinnati in a debut start he’d rather forget. If the team wanted numbers like that, they’d start Brian Hoyer, who just wins games…or something like that. But I digress.
Manziel’s debut was so bad, so horrific, the Elias Sports Bureau went ahead and compared him to Danny Wuerffel. Woof.

Immediately after the game, the Browns announced Manziel as the starter for Carolina because 80 yards is the gold standard by which quarterbacks are measured in Cleveland.
