This is necessary, because some players won't quit until they're dead or can't get up any more.
This is admirable, but not always smart. That's what you are there for, Mike. You are there to yank a guy who is hurt and no longer as good as his healthy backup. Whether he likes it or not.
You're wrong about Johnny, Mike. He's probably better than he was in his only start. You seem to expect another shoe to drop on his head.
If the two were equally as fresh and healthy, sure, you go with experience. But McCown was obviously in pain, and it was obviously on his throwing side, and would obviously change how he threw.
That was disgusting.
Nothing against Josh McCown. He clearly thought he could master his pain and pull the game out.
But a lot of guys always think that. You have to step in here, for their own good, and the good of the team.
I don't think Johnny Manziel could have pulled this game out if Mike Pettine had had more common sense, but he had a better chance than the human mash unit did.
I agree with Terry Pluto that trade rumors involving Joe Thomas are senseless, and probably came from some blogger like me, except dumber.
But Mack, Kruger, or several other guys are almost certainly available.
The Browns are in a tailspin. The first half was awesome, then...
Cash in! More draft picks! Complete the rebuild by next training camp.
And LET JOHNNY PLAY so we can see what we've got here, and MIKE? You might win some games you otherwise wouldn't.
With all due respect to Doug Dieken, if the veterans think starting a healthy quarterback is cashing it in, I guess the concussion protocols came a little too late for them.
