Johnny Manziel Demoted To Third-String QB 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Nov 24, 2015 10:10 pm

The Cleveland Browns have demoted Johnny Manziel to their third string quarterback following his decision to party during their bye week.

Manziel spent several weeks in rehab in the offseason.

"Everyone in this organization wants what is best for Johnny just like we do for every player in our locker room. I'm especially disappointed in his actions and behavior because he has been working very hard," head coach Mike Pettine said in a statement.

"The improvements from last year to this year have been tremendous, but he still has to consistently demonstrate that he has gained a good understanding of what it takes to be successful at the quarterback position on this level. It goes well beyond the field. We are going to continue to support him in every way possible, but at this point, we've decided it's best to go with Josh as the starter going forward."
