“Johnny Football will one day be bigger in Cleveland than his buddy LeBron ever was.” - Skip Bayless
Skip Bayless never wrong. What a jerk.
That take aged horribly. And the one that the houston texans would rue the day they didnt draft johnny manziel. Clowney should have been better, but he was miles better than him.
@@universe-ie2mk Clowney was a way better pick then Johnny but a bust of a pick at number #1. They could've had Aaron Donald or Khalil Mack, and those are just the 2 defensive players at a similar position in that draft. Texans D with Watt & Donald on the d-line? Uh-oh for everyone else.
Now he’s dying on the mayfield hill
Yall know he does this shit on purpose right.
It's called media.
For reference before this game, this was the last time the browns were over .500 before week 3, 2020. Crazy how it was nearly 6 years between these.
It was a rough few years
Here's an even crazier stat....In the last 23 years, the Browns have played in exactly 3 playoff games. They are 1-2 in those games. The Texans, a team that didn't exist until 3 years after Cleveland's re-entry into the league have doubled those numbers, appearing in 6 playoff games with a 4-2 record. Let's see if DeShaun Watson, a guy with ties to both teams, can help turn that around....
This was also the week after their longest streak at first place in the division ended.
Johnny Football was definitely the embarrassment of the day but man the Browns run defense tried their hardest to be the lowlight of the game.
That Bengals team from 2014 was actually pretty stacked especially that o line with whitworth was prolly the best O line in football
@@joeygrant1088 agreed but stop saying prolly, just say probably so you don't sound like a fool
@@nathanielbath1801 gatekeeping words over the internet ? Dork
Throwback requests:
2006 Steelers/Falcons (crazy OT game)
2005 Cowboys/Chargers (Battle of the QB Drews)
1995 Bears/Packers (One of the best games of the rivalry)
Would love to see that 06 Steelers falcons matchup
> 1995 Bears/Packers
Isn't that the one where a fan jumped 30 ft to catch an XP ball?
Back then: the future of the Cleveland Browns!
Now: the second most notable name in Fan Controlled Football, behind Terrell Owens.😂
Make that third most notable, now that Michael Vick is joining the league.😂
@@coryshannon3815 Not anymore. Maybe next year Vick will play.
I remember this happening. I am a Bengals fan in MN, so I did not get to see it. But I know a lot of the country got it and Fox had their number two announcer crew on the call. To see the end result was pure joy for me as a Bengals fan. I hated the hype for Manziel; the dude was called 'Johnny Football' and he never did a thing in the NFL. Another sad chapter in the long book of sad chapters for the Browns.
In his Defense (no pun intended) if Johnny had a GOOD Offensive Line, he would have done Much Better! (No, I'm Not an A&M Fan - I Bleed Scarlet & Gray!)
I remember this game I loved how the bengals kept using Johnny’s celebration against him
I remember that. One guy couldn't help himself and did the taunt right in Johnny's face.
0:18 that graphic is crazy; the whole division is above .500 in week 15
AFC North doesn't play around
It's probably gonna be the same this year
@@DQJ34-i4q not for the steelers
MariosNum OneFan lol you’re a clown for that. Steelers will be second at least
@@stackonez7182 you’re crazy. They gonna finish last. Every other team in the division has superstar players and a talented roster except for the steelers
Some notes from this game about Manziel:
Good:
-great quickness and agility. Can make people miss in and outside of the pocket
-good ability to throw on the run. Loves to extend plays and is good at it. Can complete passes to recievers with pressure directly in his face
-good striaghtline speed. Can be a part of the run game
-quick release. Helps with timings and fitting the ball through tight windows
Bad:
-abysmal pocket awareness. Has no idea when to step up or out. If receivers aren't open, he bails from the outside every time.
-doesn't theow the ball with tons of velocity
-has no internal clock, pressure will almost always hit home if from behind him
-overall mechanics are poor. Maintains an "independent contractor." Not enough moving parts with his throwing motion
-decision making is all over the place. Is willing to fit the ball into nonexistent windows, leading to turnovers
-does not go through reads. If the first read isn't open, he either forces it or scrbles from outside the pocket
-maintains poor control of the ball. Way too loose in the pocket, which explains fumble issues
-lack of knowledge of the playbook. If you can tell that a QB doesn't know the playbook just by watching him, there's a serious problem
Final eval:
Manziel had some talent, but had a multitude of on-field and off-field issues coming out of college. I believe he was always overrated, and with his lack of work ethic and care for the game, the Cleveland Browns organization, and his teammates, he spiraled out of control and it makes sense why he never made it in the league.
he should've always been a project QB coming out of college, whatever scouts thought otherwise should've been fired. It's so easy to see that so much of what he did in college was either due to having such a good o line/receiver corp at A&M or simply being more athletic than college athletes, and anyone with a brain could've seen that.
you have to admit tho, even if he was extremely polished the browns still would've done bad, they had no consistent receivers except for josh gordon, an overall terrible o line and lack of running back play. No QB can succeed without at least a decent supporting cast.
Dafuq?
Only reason Johnny had college success was playing against weak defenses. Knew he wouldn’t make it as pro
I remember belly-laughing for 5 minutes when the Browns drafted him.
I didn't hear the "experts" opinion, but I can't believe anyone thought he was more draftable than Derek Carr for instance.
He spent his college career throwing to wide-open 6-5 Mike Evans.
Total fraud, and anyone with eyes could see it.
The talent was there, but abysmal mechanics, horrific work ethic and well-documented off field problems sunk a career before it could ever start. At least he's sober and alive now
he also had absolutely zero patience in the pocket. he was a recipe for failure in the league since day 1
Might have had a better chance if he went anywhere else but Cleveland, even with his flaws. That offensive line was atrocious.
@@kkogge05 frankly, it wasn't even "horrible patience" but rather terrible decision making. He so often would make the wrong choice between running or staying in the pocket too long dependent on where he might find the big play instead of taking what he could get. In this game, one great example is the bootleg where he has a straight shot run for the first, but rather attempts a deep pass which fails.
What, namely, was bad about his mechanics? Don't say anything about cross-body throws, few could make throws like he could at TA&M
Haha he’s not sober
I would be so mad if I were a veteran on the Browns who had to put up this nonsense. I remember this game and was 100% confident that Manziel would lose in disastrous fashion. I bet a coworker on it and won ten dollars
The funny thing is the Cleveland Browns paid six figures to study who the best quarterback in that draft was. The people that Cleveland paid the six figures to told the Cleveland Browns to pick Teddy Bridgewater. Oof..... And Trent Richardson, the guy who was in that trade haul to get Manzel, became a serviceable running back for that Colts team that made it to the AFC Championship game.
I mean manzel was a sure fire bust but Richardson was a bust as well. Dude was hyped up to be a league great and was average throughout his short career. Bridgewater is a mid tier qb at best. Poor man’s Alex smith. Better than manziel no doubt but let’s not pretend it’s trubisky over mahomes
Nfl without teddy is so incredibly sad
I like Bridgewater but he hasn't done anything really. He was okay & up & coming with Minnesota, good with Saints, since then journeyman. Bad teams sure but what has he added to the equation for them? He was so good in Carolina they traded for Darnold.
@@christopherengel7436 And Darnold made them even worse that had to bring Cam back then draft yet another QB 😂 and those inbred panthers fans really believe in Matt Rule 🤣
Richardson was definitely not serviceable and wasnt even starting for that Colts team that year...man was out of the NFL only one year after Manziel....both are all time draft busts
In November 2014 the Browns were 7-4 and were looking as a playoff team but they managed to lose their remaining 5 games in a row to end 7-9
Go pack go
And it took them half a decade to recover from the collapse.
That’s just browns culture for you
“Hyped up QB” 😂😂 why they cook manziel like that
Cos he hyped himself up. Let your talent talk, not your mouth.
Lol even NFL Throwback is ruthless with Johnny Football lowlights
And now Kevin Burkhardt is Fox’s number one play by play commentator
Glad to see it. I like Buck, but Burkhardt is better than Buck. Ultimately, what happened essentially was Steve Levy was switched out for Burkhardt, which, in my mind, is a very very good thing.
The day the Bengals returned the favor of the embarrassing defeat earlier in the season. The fact it was Johnny Football's first start was icing on the cake.
I still remember this like it was yesterday. All the INSUFFERABLE hype around him and how he was gonna set the league on fire. And then the game started……and I laughed till I was crying.
That was a big part of the issue imo. TOO MUCH hype and way too much pressure on him.
Man, these Bengals teams were so good and that includes the offensive line. Sucks that they never won any playoff games. I miss that offensive line. Bodine, Whitworth, Zeitler, Boling, and Smith.
I was there for this game. I remember them crossing the 50 ONE time...on a taunting call. I was so tired of the fans talking up Johnny before he ever took the field, and this game killed the hype train real quick. Honestly, I was thrilled, especially since this clown was kept over Hoyer and Shaw, both of which were way better.
I also made a slogan for him. Instead of "show me the money," my dad and I were going "show me the first down."
They probably would've won this game if they had started Hoyer
The hype was insufferable. I blame the media.
Imagine having Kyle Shanahan as your offensive coordinator and getting shut out, not able to put up 3 lousy points with a field goal. Way to go, Browns.
Kyle shanahan wasn’t that guy back then
Mike McDaniel was also part of the coaching staff. Just a pathetic performance
Johnny Football was the most overhyped thing I’ve ever seen. He wasn’t even that good to begin with
Wrong
I mean he was a good college qb but a terrible NFL prospect. Dude should've been a 4th round pick
Yeah, they just gave him that Heisman because they felt bad
@@mjf2891 Manziel did what no college redshirt freshman was able to accomplish
@@standyourground9973 its easy when you can just chuck it up to Mike Williams to bail you out. Plus, he had a RB that was also drafted.
Remember when Skip Bayless said Johnny Manziel was gonna be bigger than LeBron in Cleveland
Jeremy Hill was a decent HB. So sad everyone remembers him for the fumble vs Pittsburgh
And "winning" a Super Bowl with the Patriots- even though he'd been on injured reserve.
HOF bound Johnny Football shows us a CLINIC on why he's the GOAT
Give the title guy a raise
Imagine Johnny Manziel opens up UA-cam later, sees this, then shuts his laptop.
It's always fun watching undeserved players with huge ego's fall flat on their backside, especially the self proclaimed "Johnny Football"🤣
Kyle Shanahan to Trey Lance : Just don't play like Manzel and make my offense look bad we will be good.
Bum Manzel played horrible one of the biggest bust in the nfl, how did no one question that bum if he should play WR 🤣
Not athletic enough obviously
@@bodombeastmode nah he just can’t hit the side of a barn
@@calcaleb7041 how does that have to do with playing receiver tho
@@sexbot1996 because another Heisman winner who didn’t have anyone close to Mike Evens was asked to try out at WR. Also he didn’t have to beg a team to draft him the first round 🤣
@@calcaleb7041 and a couple people out of thousands isn’t really a good example.
Never forget that Dallas almost got manzel if Stephen Jones didn’t talk Jerry out of getting him
Yep and they went offensive line and Demarco Murray had a career year. Cowboys made the right decision.
I remember watching this at tp in Lakeworth Florida damn time flies.....
7-6 with Brian Hoyer, still got an outside shot at the playoffs or at least a winning season.....let’s put in “Johnny football”.... Browns logic.
Brian hoyer suffered an injury the against the bills then got blown out by the colts the next week. They were already losing that game by the time manzel stepped in and actually did pretty good for a drive
@@heisenbergII a blow out is by 1 point?
If you're uploading classic stinkers I'd suggest Vikings vs Giants Week 7 2013. A Monday Night Football game between the 1-4 Vikings and 0-6 Giants most notable for Josh Freeman's last career start.
To this day the worst performance I've ever seen from the quarterback position. I didn't think Johnny would be a good player but I never imagined he could've been THIS bad.
Yah know, for as bad as Manziel did during this game, the browns o-line and defense also did him no favors. After watching the documentary, it’s clear Johnny had many issues going on, but it’s also not all on him
I remember how much “Money Manziel”was overhyped for this game and how they were going to take it to the Bengals. As a fan, absolute joy to see Cincy not only shut down, but shut out Cleveland in their stadium. #WhoDey
Bo Callahan would of been better from draft day the movie lmfao
And then the browns get a pinch better over the years and now own the Bengals , call it the circle of life if you will
@@hoodiejelo6456 sure the browns have owned the Bengals in these past few years but cmon man Bengals just made a strong superbowl push and have a bright future as well
@@hoodiejelo6456 couldn’t have said it better 😂
Green vs Haden was always a dog fight. It was such a fun matchup to watch
That just sums up how seriously Johnny Manziel took his career: 12:37
Browns got their revenge with Fields’s debut vs them in 2021. Fields already has a better career than Manziel but man was that game ugly.
I can't say more about Johnny Manziel, after all, a great QB at Texas Agricultural & Mechanical College became a disaster of a debut as a starting QB for the Browns.
Ya Texas a&m flashes money to recruits but comes up like manziel as a college program
In retrospect it's easy to see that a good chunk of Manziel's production in college was due to the talent around him. He had *four* future 1st round picks on that offensive line, and was throwing to a future All-Pro WR.
Hard to believe that in two years time this will be 10 years ago.
manziel was a project QB coming out of college, as an A&M fan I admit that, and he really should've been drafted by a team that already had good pieces and been sat for a year or two while his coaches worked out all of his bad habits he had both on and off the field. If that had happened I honestly think he could've been an excellent QB, but instead the garbage browns drafted him to immediately take over the mantle and save their franchise, and well we all saw how well that worked.
Andy dalton had a passer rating of 2.0 against the browns in Cincinnati that year
Set the Edge and Strong Opinion Sports did absolutely amazing videos on why Manziel didn't work out. Highly recommend both of them
I skipped to a random point in the video and saw Manziel throw an interception. That about sums it up.
What’s crazy is that the 2014 Browns we’re not bad to that point. They were 6-3 at one point, played good D and had a solid 1-2 punch at RB with Terrance West and Isiah Crowell. Unfortunately Brian Hoyer (who was solid in the 1st half of the season) fell off of a Cliff and Manziel was awful, fall to 7-9. What’s sad is that this would Cleveland’s best team until 2020.
Technically the 2018 team had a better record too
As a lifelong Browns fan, this was the beginning of the darkest period ever. The GM forcing Johnny to play, Kyle Shannahan and Mike McDaniel wasted their time here, the beginning signs of the 1-31 happening. I knew we were screwed when Kyle made a PowerPoint highlighting everything that needed to change with the franchise on the way out. Oh and don't forget about Josh Gordon as the biggest WHAT IF EVER!
"The Staph Infection know as JOHNNY FOOTBALL! (DJ Airhorn)"
-UrinatingTree 2016
Remember watching that game what an embarrassment thank God the franchise finally turned around
Heres a Manziel hot take...Manziels college play and college career was a pre cursor to how modern NFL teams views QBs. Manziel played with Kingsbury in college, who would later coach Mahomes at Texas Tech. Mahomes, like Manziel played in a spread offense and was allowed the freedom to play backyard football throwing the ball unconventionally at different angles and positions. Once Mahomes took over the NFL, it completely changed how teams scout and coach up the next generation of QBs.
Yes but mahomes was incredibly strong as well as elusive, manziel unlike Lamar was literally a Runningback at qb, a lot of his throws were do to his big wideouts making great catches, he made throws by outrunning everyone not great passes
@@allthingssports4575 his best throws occurred when the play broke down and while mahomes is stronger both him and manziel play their best when the play broke down and they were able to complete passes with many different arm angles unconventional mechanics
@@nathanfioravante5263 thats what im saying, its just mahomes throws were crazy and manziels were running around then just throwin it up and expecting recievers to make the catches
@@allthingssports4575 His only "big" wideout in his career was Mike Evans lol
@@standyourground9973 still tho if u look at his most famous plays most werent difficult passes and the throws that were were more of great catches from his wideouts, if u need evidence look at him in the pros try to do the same throws, didnt work out
I’ll never forget how pissed I was when we drafted that clown. I wanted either Sammy Watkins or Derek Carr. Then we traded down from the 4th overall pick
It’s funny cause he wasn’t good enough even for the CFL.
I generally root for the Browns, I love an underdog story (I’m a Vikings fan, so I live it already), but I did not during the era (more like the minor setback) of Johnny Manziel. I’m glad he didn’t pan out. He needed to be knocked down a peg and his time in Cleveland and lack of ANY interest afterwards did that, at least to some extent. And then he flamed out of the CFL and the AAF
Mel Kiper said that Manziel shouldn't go in the top 25. Apparently, the Browns (and especially that sour clown Skip Bayless) didn't get the memo
So interesting how some QBs just can’t sit in the pocket with it collapsing around them and make a throw
I still can't believe how awful and wasted potential Manziel was in NFL. But what i can't believe even more is how we was used late in the season. 7-6 and you put a rookie in there? Just bad management. Same reason why Broncos crumbled in 2006 when Shanahan switched from Plummer to Cutler and cost them a playoff spot
Who is watching this after the @Clubshayshay interview..?
This game basically marked the beginning of the worst stretch in Browns history, lol
Bout to be another one
If he took the game more seriously and spent time wisely he would've easily been a star but instead wasted his talent for partying .
Manziel *NEVER* would have been a star. He proved in college that he couldn’t operate an offense unless it broke down, and he had to improvise.
Jeremy hill , aj green , sanu , had a good little team
This game was a microcosm of overhyped running quarterbacks.
Browns fan here. I would say I have terrors of Manzel and how bad we were then, but up until recently, I was so used to it that we knew it was going to go down like this.
Will be again ha
@@TioMaui we shall see 🙄
anyone who thought Johnny would make it in the nfl.....no one can save you!
This and Go Birds! 🦅
Johnny manziel was just bad but his debut wasn’t easy having to scramble out the pocket everytime, WRs dropping some passes and that fan base expecting him to be a hall of famedr im his first game
THE biggest NFL Draft Bust of all time! #JohnnyBust
I saw the number 2 knew immediately who it was
I'll always remember the Joe Buck roast later that day
I agree, Johnny football was soooooo overrated
And his inbreds fan boys gave nothing but excuses the whole year even when he was arrested 😂😅
You know it's a bad QB when Kyle Shanahan can't work enough magic with him to at least get a playoff spot.😂
Didn’t know manziel started in week 15. Thought he wouldve started as soon as they got him
Ohhhh this was the same game Jeremy Hill got face shoved by a Browns fan 😂😂🤣🤣. I loved every bit of this game as a Bengals fan.
Now he's using those hands ✋ on hobos in an alley
Johnny Football was not ready 😂
His passer rating would have been better had he just spiked it into the ground every play.
The thing is the browns had the chance to get Derrick Carr or Jimmy G or a decent Wideout like Adams when they took Johnny Football in 2014
Even without that, they traded down to get him when he would definitely have been available in a later round if they did want to check him out.
I remember this manziel was spotted at a party the night before this game he was probably hungover Thats probably most the time he played
The Bengals were up 23 to 0 with 2 minutes left in the game and they had the ball and still had Andy Dalton in playing quarterback. He played all the way to the end of a blowout win
NFL Throwback Request:
Falcons vs Browns Week 17 2002
Colts vs Browns Week 1 2003
Ravens vs Browns Week 1 2004
(Browns last opening day win)
JOHNNY MANZIEL = RYAN LEAF Light
That bengals team was solid no cap
Baker proved that Johnny could’ve found a decent starting role IMO. It’s a shame his demons ruined his potential.
In fairness to Johnny Manziel the defense put a rookie making his first start in the NFL in a 17-0 hole by the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Veterans struggle when they have to press could you imagine making your first start and have to?
I remember the hype for Johnny Trashziel
He might have been good but as we saw that perfect throw was dropped
One good throw don’t make you a good QB bro
@@Franklyyy124 I know he still good I just think the browns where the problem
Johnny Manziel might've been something if he took life and the game more seriously instead he's slinging the football for some janky live action e-sports thing?
I could had imagined how frustrated the browns offensive players had to be. From the clip I watched, the line gave him enough time, he just couldn't read and put the ball at the right spot. What a failure this draft had become.
Brian hoyer just should have stayed the starter then they might have actually made the playoffs
Throwback Requests for thanksgiving
Lions vs Bills thanksgiving 1994
And Cowboys vs Giants Thanksgiving 1992
Should have never did a QB change. Manzeil was never ready
Browns did Hoyer dirty had them winning but FO wanted Johnny to start
I Don't blame Johnny... He was Trying to make something Happen with a Crappy Team. If he had a Decent Line, he could have been Awesome.
Yeah, Don't waste "our" time saying I'm an A&M Fan. I'm a BUCKEYE! Proud EVERY YEAR (and sometimes Glad we don't make it to the Playoffs!) I'd Rather WIN a Bowl Game than get Beat in The Playoffs!
He had Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, he needed some fuckin receivers that could make some plays. Dude was throwing to Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge lol
People forget the other bad draft pick Justin Gilbert out of Oklahoma St who was supposed to give them a elite secondary with former Florida gators legend Joe Haden on the other side....
Remember when the Bengals actually had decent offensive lines
And he talks shit about Mayfield. Mayfield got us to the playoffs and won. And now they're screwing up Mayfield with that fruitcake Watson. Will they ever learn their lesson.
This is how we should always always always beat the Browns!
I love this team!
Damn all AFC game on FOX back in 2014
Manziel Would’ve Been Better On The Team Now Than The Team He Had Back Then
Browns will repeat history when they move on from baker BROWNS WILL BE THE BROWNS
Johnny football was a fratboy myth that never showed talent in college aside from being some mediocre athlete running around and chucking the ball up to Mike Evans
I went with my uncle to this game, we left with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, this game was pathetic
Where tickets over price since Johnny football was starting??
@@nfgpunk6517 no, we bought the tickets months ahead of time, before the season even started
@@markrobertson2196 Good move. They had to be expensive once Johnny was announced to start. Like close to playoff game money.
