BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback http://www.seahawksofficialnflonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_DERRICK_COLEMAN_JERSEY.html Johnny Manziel was at times proud, at other times defiant when questioned about his personal growth and his recent off-field activities. Manziel answered six questions about his decisions, then said he had addressed everything as best he could and was ready to move on to talk about football. It's clear the Browns do want to start Johnny Manziel but have done so out of necessity. Joe Robbins/Getty Images Except for one thing: Since the day he’s been drafted, it’s never been about just football. It’s about social media and treatment facilities and middle fingers and floating swans and a pink champagne bottle and dangerous driving on a highway and so many other things that are not football. It’s been about the same non-football stuff that had ESPN’s Herm Edwards nearly beside himself on Wednesday as he let loose with his passions about LeSean McCoy and the nonsense that is not related to football in the modern era. Neither the Browns nor Manziel have been Bob Lilly Womens Jersey able to make these two seasons with this young quarterback about football -- though for a time this season they did their best. That all came crashing down in the past six weeks, when a series of missteps culminated in Manziel being demoted from starter to third team. Even coach Mike Pettine said Wednesday that the decision to demote Manziel wasn’t about football, nor have concerns about his performance been about football. Pettine gave the clear implication that if Josh McCown's collarbone were not broken he’d be starting. The Browns again do not seem to want to start Manziel, they are at the point where they have to. “We have to be able to put a team out there and play,” Pettine said. The bottom line: Manziel again has a chance http://www.officialbroncosnflauthentic.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_DEMARCUS_WARE_JERSEY.html to establish himself and make it about football. He can play well, perhaps win a game or two and take steps to convincing the Browns he can be the guy for the future. At this point, that belief rests on one 372-yard game in Pittsburgh, and a show-me-don't-tell-me approach from the team to what happens off the field. If it feels like you've heard the "actions are louder than words" stuff before ... well you have.
