    Still rooting for this kid, but wonder if the coach is doing this because he thinks a message was sent OR if his job is on the line.

    Browns have a tradition of starting the third string QB for the season finale against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh always appreciates knowing they have a guaranteed bye, no matter where they end up in the playoffs.

    This year Cleveland is on a trajectory to start the fourth string QB. Bringing back Manzier and having him get hurt in the next three weeks is all part of the plan to give Terrelle Pryor enough time to work his way into the starting lineup for the final scrimmage.

    I watched the first half and Austin Davis did not look bad, despite having no running game and nobody to throw the ball to. But maybe that changed in the second half along with the point differential. Or is Davis just another Brian Hoyer, a decent QB who you give up on so that you can showcase your first-round bust?

    I think Davis is Ty Detmer. He seems more functional on paper than in on the field. He is also someone the fans can get behind.

    But I agree the Browns offense is currently not setup for anyone to succeed long term.

    I thought Davis looked like something more than just a Detmer for a drive or two, but admittedly that was right before he threw that awful interception to Reggie Nelson. It is hard to fathom how a team can reach that level of mediocrity year after year after year with such perfect consistency. They seem to have a different cast of characters every year, with exactly the same result. And they manage to attract and cultivate it at all personnel levels, players, coaches and front office. They seem to suffer from not enough continuity and too much continuity at the same time.

    #thefutureisnow. Every year is a total reset from the previous year. This year will be no different. The GM and coach and QB will almost certainly be gone. If Manzier remains, you know the owner is continuing to meddle and nothing will ever be any different.

    It's impossible to attract top tier GMs and Coaches when they know from everyone else who has passed through Clevelans that the owner will not allow autonomy.

    The #Rams announced they fired OC Frank Cignetti. Assistant head coach Rob Boras, who was second choice as OC, takes over.

    Defensive background head coaches shouldn't struggle this much with offense. But some do. It should be the most attractive job to qualified OC candidates, but somehow they screw it up. Especially if they control personnel.

    See also, Chuck Pagano and Mike Pettine.

    Pettine doesn't control personnel. But that's such a mess that Shanny left town because they forced him to play Manzier and other interferences during games, etc. Worse than Al Davis because: incompetence.

    Controlling personnel just exacerbates the situation. Being HC is enough to screw up an offense as a defensive background head coach (see also Rex Ryan).

    Chicago Bears ‏@ChicagoBears 32m32 minutes ago
    #Bears have placed TE Martellus Bennett on season-ending injured reserve with a rib injury & signed TE Rob Housler.

    OUCH

    Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 29m29 minutes ago
    #Bears also signed QB Matt Blanchard, a familiar face, to practice squad and released QB Justin Worley from the PS.

    If you were the Cowboys, wouldn't you want to have Blanchard?
