Now we have news of the opposite approach.

Pettine believes rookies start at bottom MT @AlbertBreer In CLE, Hoyer getting 1st team reps with Browns O. Thingpen, 2nd, Manziel is 3rd.


If that continues, could be just as dumb. Not sure if they have the defense to pull that off, though it is a good one.
No the credit should go to Wilson for clearly being the best QB on the roster.

Browns are just trying to keep Manziel's ego in check, he'll be the starter by week 4.
