Arkansas Bengal Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Browns to start QB Austin Davis; Johnny Manziel is backupThe Cleveland Browns will start Austin Davis at quarterback over Johnny Manziel against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, coach Mike Pettine announced Wednesday.Josh McCown was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season after fracturing his collarbone in a 33-27 loss to Baltimore on Monday night.Davis nearly guided the Browns to a win over Baltimore after replacing McCown in the fourth quarter. Davis was 7-of-10 for 77 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown pass to tie the score."Austin took advantage of his opportunity on Monday night. He was prepared, played well and put us in position to win," Pettine said in a statement. "He's been great in the quarterback room all season and he has earned the right to start on Sunday. We expect him to play well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBengal Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Davis looked good during his first drive against the Ravens, but they were in a prevent defense for some reason. Davis looked awful in his second drive. He was very lucky that the Ravens dropped an absolute gimme interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey1971 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 If the Bengals are as good as I think/hope they are this year, the only QB that concerns me between now and the end of the season wears #12 and plays in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think our team has finally surpassed the point where we make rookie or journeymen QB's look like Johnny Unitas when we play them. I don't care whom their QB is, we are going to crush them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincIndy Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Unless his name is TJ Yates. Or go back to 1992 if you remember that one backup in Green Bay that got his first start against us? Brett something. I think he was in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 One thing about Johnny Mazel Tov in the first game against us is he did run around a lot. Not by design but he was a slippery little devil. And the game would have been a lot closer if he had receivers who could actually catch the ball. Not sure how Austin Powers will do this Sunday. Hopefully he will have to improve to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Big difference between a 2nd round Brett Favre and practice squad boy.Maybe not. We can always hope."Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 33rd overall in the 1991 NFL Draft. On July 19, 1991, Favre agreed to a three-year, US$1.4 million contract with a reported signing bonus of $350,000. Atlanta coach Jerry Glanville did not approve of the drafting of Favre, saying it would take a plane crash for him to put Favre into the game. Favre's first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, was intercepted twice, and completed none of them. Favre took one other snap, which resulted in a sack for an eleven-yard loss."On the other hand...Traded to Green Bay for a first round pick..."In the third game of the 1992 season, Majkowski injured a ligament in his ankle against the Cincinnati Bengals, an injury severe enough that he would be out for four weeks. Favre replaced Majkowski for the remainder of the contest. Favre fumbled four times during the course of the game, a performance poor enough that the crowd chanted for Favre to be removed in favor of another Packers backup quarterback at the time, Ty Detmer. However, down 23–17 with 1:07 left in the game, the Packers started an offensive series on their own 8-yard line. Favre then completed a 42 yard pass to Sterling Sharpe. Three plays later, Favre threw the game–winning touchdown pass to Kitrick Taylor with 13 seconds remaining." (beat Rod "Toast" Jones?)Yes, Wikipedia. Interesting read.

AmishBengalFan Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 http://www.thedrawplay.com/ The Browns Pain, When Will It End?by Dave Rappoccio on December 3, 2015 at 12:01 am I’ve started to think the Cleveland Browns are less football team and more performance art. I mean really, how does this happen? Over and over and over and over again? How have they not, in all this time, not gotten a lucky roll of the dice and found a QB worth keeping? A coach or GM worth keeping? An owner worth keeping? How can one franchise continue to keep making the same errors over and over again? How the hell can these utterly heartbreaking losses keep happening? It just never ends. They can’t even have a normal bad year or anything, everything has to fall apart in the process. They can’t just lose, they have to lose in the worst ways possible. A kick-6 after Matt Schaub gifts you an INT? Whatever that Austin Davis slide was? The Browns are like the football version of the aristocrats and it’s baffling. I’m convinced that when the NFL disbands or the sport ends, the owner of the team will come forward, walk up to a podium at the final press conference, and go “TAA DAAA” then bow and curtains will close, and it’ll get rave reviews. This franchise can’t be real anymore. The Browns have such a strange flavor of perpetual failure to them. The Lions are lovable losers who just flop and suck when they are bad. The Bills? The Bills always have hope, even when history isn’t on their side. The Browns are different. They feel different. They are like the tortured kid in school with a horrible life and no friends that you just root for until he overcomes his trials and truimphs…only this is the real world, and the kid actually just ends up a loser with no future living in a van down by the river, slowly dying of AIDS. AIDS he got from a heroin needle, not even from getting laid. Anyway, Austin Davis gets the start on Sunday because Mike Pettine hates Johnny Manziel, so I had to add Davis to the Browns QB hydra. That’s every QB from the inception of the new Browns. Can you name them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
