5 Reasons Why Johnny Manziel Should Be Named Starter

Johnny Manziel, rated one of the best quarterbacks ever to play college football and arguably one of the best college athletes ever. In the public eye, people see the wild off the field demeanor of a young, wealthy, lavish celebrity athlete. But under the lights, and on the field focus and success is a stud of an athlete that should be named the starter for the upcoming season of the NFL 2014-2015 Season. Here's why....

First off, Johnny Manziel, although a party boy is very committed and dedicated to the game of football. He's a ferocious competitor, and wants to win by any means. Just turn on the film from his HEISMAN Trophy winning season. In that tape you'll see a quarterback laying it all on the line every single game, escaping the massive pass rushers of the SEC Conference, rushing for more than 1400 yards, another 3000 in the air, and accountable for 80% of Texas A & M's touchdowns.

Johnny, only 6'0 is a way more and elusive fit of the transition to run and gun quarterbacks in the NFL unlike Browns other QB Brian Hoyer. Hoyer is also recovering from a devastating ACL injury from the past season. So unless he and Adrian Peterson went to the same doctor, the chances of him coming back just as strong are slim to none. But only time will tell  and Brown's Head coach Mike Pettine.

Another reason to why the Browns should pick Johnny Manziel as the start; TICKET SALES. No Dogpound fans are coming to watch their first round, 22nd NFL Draft Pick sit the bench and "Learn" as the sports world puts it. The fans will flood in First Energy to see Johnny Football do what he does best- Make plays! Besides his now "again Cleveland counterpart" LeBron James, Johnny Football AKA Johnny Manziel has become the favored and most trendy athlete.

Potential is a big discussion on the QB battle in Cleveland. Hoyer, 28 had a mediocre season in my opinion. Hoyer only made three starts last season, throwing for 615 yards, five touchdowns, three interceptions.

Manziel 21, has far more potential in many eyes. Manziel is great at moving around in the pocket and creating something out of nothing. He is definitely going to struggle in the beginning, like all young quarterbacks do, but in the long run it will be better for him to take on the struggles early in his career than to sit behind Hoyer and not see the field until later in the season for the Browns. 

The NFL days of drafting a quarterback early and letting him develop behind a veteran on the bench are over, after big time run and shoot QB's like RGIII, Andrew Luck and Pro Bowl, Superbowl Champion Russell Wilson have had such a positive impact as rookies.

Lastly, I mean come on its Johnny Football we've all been waiting to see what the guy can do. As a college QB many doubted his ability to transfer his skills to the pros , but here we are in the midst of another season in which Manziel is a Cleveland Brown, Nike athlete and a household name that Cleveland Fans and the sports world as waiting to see play Quaterbackin the NFL.
