Cleveland Browns at New York Jets: Keeping an eye on the Browns quarterback situation
What happens when two teams without legit playoff hopes meet in Week 1? We are about to find out with two last place teams from a season ago battling it out in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon. All eyes should be on both team’s quarterback situation, but I mostly want to see how Josh McCown performs for the Browns against what should be a stellar Jets secondary.
The hook has to be pretty quick here, especially if Manziel is prepared to actually throw the football after being shut down back in August. Outside of quarterback, Cleveland boasts a pretty talented team. If it becomes apparent that McCown is holding the offense back, no one would be surprised to see Manziel get a chance. It just wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the team to continue throwing out a veteran backup that has proven he can’t lead a winning team. That’s only magnified with a much higher-upside signal caller riding the pine.
