The Cleveland Browns
The Browns would be in serious trouble if anything happened to starter Josh McCown this season. That would only leave a middling second-year Johnny Manziel in line to start since the team cut backups Thad Lewis and Pat Devlin.

Should Manziel be called to duty for the Browns this season, it could be scary. We saw what happened when he was giving the opportunity to start for the team last season. Johnny Football was an utter failure in 2014, completing only 18 of 35 passes for 175 yards, two picks and zero touchdowns.
Also noteworthy, the Browns’ past 10 starting quarterbacks have failed to lead the team to a postseason berth. When Tebow started for the Broncos in 11 games in 2011, he managed to lead the team to two series of playoffs. For this, Tebow does have some appeal when we look at the dreary quarterbacks from years past in Cleveland.
And, it’s not like McCown, who struggled as a starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season, is going to lead the Browns into the promised land.
Imagine all the hype in Cleveland if Tebow and Manziel were on the same team. If anything, it would make the Browns one of the most interesting teams to follow in 2015.
