For the past couple years, Cleveland Browns fans had to endure training camp and preseason until a starting quarterback was revealed. That isn’t the case this season as early indications point towards Josh McCown starting on opening day. Fortunately for Johnny Manziel, there is plenty of time and opportunities to surpass McCown on the depth chart.
As a matter of fact, Manziel took a huge step in the right direction if he wants the starting gig. In an earlier press conference, he admitted his faults and decided to drop the college shenanigans. Johnny has earned teammates respect with a new, mature and healthier mindset.
For the time being, Manziel has been working out with the second-team offense while he gets comfortable with his fourth coordinator in as many years. He will experience ups and downs, but expects to improve his game.

The veteran is eager for a fresh start to prove that he is no fluke. After being a career back up, McCown flourished in Chicago when Jay Cutler got injured. In eight appearances, the quarterback recorded a 13:1 touchdown-interception ratio and was only sacked 11 times.
When the season concluded, he earned a contract and starting job for the Tamp Bay Buccaneers. The veteran struggled with his new team, starting 11 games and throwing just 11 touchdowns. McCown also threw 14 interceptions and was sacked 36 times. Despite the horrid numbers, the blame wasn’t all his to own. Tampa Bay’s offensive line ranked third in with 52 sacks allowed and led the league with 124 quarterback hits.
Fortunately, the Cleveland Browns host a significantly better O-Line. As we all witnessed in Chicago what McCown is capable of when he stays on his feet. In Cleveland, he should have more time to settle his feet and read the field. Not to mention the Browns have an improved running game. This should alleviate pressure off the quarterback position and set up the play
With the New York Jets heading into their third preseason game. Predicted favorite starting quarterback Josh McCown has not been receiving first-team reps like he should be to get in sync with the New York Jets first-teams offense. In Thursday's final practice of training camp, two games before the Snoopy Bowl versus the Giants. McCown received only one rep and that came with Gang Greens scout team offense. In which he threw a 15-yard touchdown pass.
“Bottom line is this week Luke McCown gives us the best chance to win this week. I have to be honest with myself and do what’s in the best interest of the team. I have total confidence in Luke, as does are team.” stated Bree’s on McCown starting.
Jameis is not going anywhere anytime soon fans so get on board and support your quaterback and his
On the Watson side of things, when you having the start to the season that he been having and now to suffer an injury that will keep you out for the season is really heartbreaking news. When he comes back next season barring any setbacks, it will be tough to tell if he will be the same quarterback just a season after an injury like that. Seeing from what he has done this season, he will be back with something to prove and 100% but do not surprised if he struggles somehow next
Wentz motivated, inspired, and guided his team to multiple wins. Prior to when Wentz had gotten hurt, he had one goal, to lead his team to success, something he was currently achieving in the regular season games. He would motivate his team to perform better each and every day at practice. He had even invited his teammates to do workouts with him to get better when they were given some off time. He showed that he did not want to get better alone. He wanted the squad as a whole to get better. Showing how committed he was to the game, had inspired his teammates to better themselves by putting in the extra work. The behavior and attitude Wentz had rubbed off on his teammates and the goal of becoming champions became the team’s outcome. Wentz would even try to have the team bond outside of practice by doing team dinners or just by going to church together. He would set up these events to create a bond that would then facilitate to the performance the team would put on when on the field. He wanted to create team chemistry to
Depending on who you are talking to, many NFL players would take offense if told they needed to put some effort into becoming a little more like Johnny Football. However, head coach Dirk Koetter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers believes that quarterback Jameis Winston should try and duplicate some of Manziel’s magic, at least from his days at Texas A&M.
He had several obstacles he had to overcome. He had pressure every game since he is the quarterback and the team's leader. Next he had to overcome his pain and injuries he sustained through
Unfortunately, the injury set back Tomlin's progression, but he is making strides and trending upward. Since returning from the disabled list last year, he has recorded a quiet 7-2 record in 10 starts. Tomlin has found a rhythm and his silent success has continued into this season.
The fact to rejoice this year is he is winning great games and that is what his focus is at this time. He is one of the best back up in the NFL and is much better than Matt Stafford and this is what people openly talk about. We all would agree that with the box scores there is much left in Vick and he has much to perform and show his mettle to his fans. So, if we look at the four games with Pittsburgh this season Vick's completion percentage [63.8] is superb and looks above his career completion percentage [56.2]. With these being pointed out it is clear the Steelers only dial pass plays and that is what offers them high chances of success. Yes, Vick rarely air it out and this is just because he has no arm for it and anyone watching the game against chargers would witness that Vick's arm strength and accuracy are below than any other player who should be starting under center on a weekly basis. This is something which makes a big point here and experts would even agree to it as one needs to realise his strength and weakness and accordingly play and give it to the
With minicamp starting up, there are a lot of storylines that a lot of people are looking forward to seeing leading up to the regular season. One storyline that is getting a lot of attention is the quarterback battle going on between Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Deshone Kizer who are all fighting to be named the starting quarterback week 1 for the Cleveland Browns. All of these guys have a lot of upsides and have a case of why they should be named the week 1 starter at quarterback but after all the dust is settled, who should come out on top of this quarterback battle and start week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Drafted by the team in the third round 96th overall, Cody Kessler had a lot of upside coming out of the Univerity Of Southern
Entering 2017, Flacco loses yet another weapon in Steve Smith, and he’ll need Mike Wallace and free agency pickup Jeremy Maclin to pick up the slack. For a team that loves to pound the rock, the Ravens are fairly thin in the backfield; but they picked up Danny Woodhead in the offseason, who should help if he can stay healthy.
One of the team’s biggest strengths is their powerhouse offense. But the man under center is what makes that powerhouse offense run. That man is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league if not the best. His statistics are unbelievable. He has the highest quarterback rating in NFL history at 103.8, while the second closest is 98.9. He has thrown 300 touchdowns to only 74 interceptions. That being a 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio, also the best in NFL history. One of his most impressive streaks was his success at home. In 2015, he threw an interception at home. The last one he threw at home before that was in 2012. He went three years without throwing an interception at home. Truly a remarkable feat. In 2011, Aaron had one of the best seasons
However, one thing he will have to improve at in the NFL is blitz pickup, which is a struggle for many young running backs. We all remember McCoy had an issue with this when he was a rookie but improved. If blitz pickup is the only miscue of Cook's game, then the Eagles are in good shape.

According to Johnson (2018) daily privilege and oppression cause hurt to many people. For example, through stereotypes. The first one is African American are lazy and are not as smart as White, Asian and Hispanic people. Also, that women do not need to go to college. I would say based on the picture I selected of my two cousins, aunt and myself that this is not true. My aunt Renee, cousin Shanae and myself all graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with a Bachelor of Arts degree. My cousin Shanta graduated from University of La Verne with a Bachelor of Science degree. On this day we were celebrating my cousin Shanta accomplishment of become a talent ten of getting her Master of Science degree in Adult Education. I had already received my first
