Browns are rumored to be done and moving on from him . What ya think about taking a chance as our backup QB ? I have always love him and still think he could get his act together and be something in this league . Doubt it would cost much to get him and anyone is better than Orlovsky haha .

Maybe get a package where we would take him as long as Josh Gordon is included . Id gamble on that as long as we werent giving up a whole lot , obviously .

Bad idea. The guy is a loser and doesn't have the physical tools to overcome his attitude. For him to be successful, he needs to buckle down and become a student of the game, putting in time watching film and learning the gameplan week to week. This guy has lived a privileged life and partied all the time without accountability. He's not going to suddenly turn things around barring a miracle.

And no to Josh Gordon too. He is one failed test from being booted out of the league. No thanks.
 
If he can't hack it in Cleveland, I don't see it happening anywhere soon. Needs to grow up first.
 
This is a joke right?

You know what they say (or at least they did when I was a kid). The two most popular athletes in Detroit are the back up QB and the back up goaltender.

Not sure people realize how good Gordon is , be worth taking Manziel and the risk involved in both guys . Huge return on a small gamble . Anyway just a thought , i dont see how anyone can be worse than Orlovsky .

Apparently it's spread to other teams back ups now.
 
Gordon i'm on board with because he'd be dirt cheap and maybe just maybe he has his head on straight now.
Manziel....i dont want a damn thing to do with this clown. He's a spolied stuck up rich kid that will never learn. Proof is in the pudding. Look at what this guy is doing. He doesnt give a fuck about football for one or he'd never be doing the things he's doing right now. Football is a hobby to this douchebag. This guy has proved nothing in the NFL and he wants to choose his destination? He's a cancer and he's overrated. He's a street baller playing the most cerebral position in the NFL. PASS....

I think you may be one of the only people that know my obsession with Manziel lol ...pry cause he won me two championships in college fantasy . His antics off the field aside , hes still exciting when he gets in the game and he would be alot more fun to watch that Dan O

Again Manziel would only be included if we could get Gordon ....anyway i digress , this doesnt seem like a popular idea haha

I just can't get on board with Manziel lol. Personally, i think he's going back home and it wont be with the Cowboys ;)
 
He is on a fast track for a wooden box from what I have been reading.

Pass on Manziel. As hard as this is to say I can't see him being above Dan O. on the depth chart.

Any why would it be an advantage if Gordon was here? They didn't play together much.

That wasnt exactly the point considering Manziel would be a backup and Gordon would be our best receiver .

Just trying to understand why you'd want him only if Gordon is here..? Or are you talking about a trade?

I would definitely take a flier on Gordon if he's cheap and it's low risk.

Manziel is a piece of crap. Talent wise he's borderline. I can't believe he will be in the league with any team two years from now.

Why don't we leave Johnny out of the equation and just try to get Gordon. Manziel is a train wreck. He will not get out of his own way. He has the talent to play the game but he doesn't have it between the ears. Not that Gordon has a lot more between the ears.

The difference between the two is Gordon is a great talent and Manziel isn't very good.
