Despite losing the initial competition for the Browns starting quarterback job, Cleveland GM Ray Farmer says Manziel is right on schedule with his progress as an NFL rookie.
“I think he is right where he’s supposed to be. I laugh because it’s four weeks into his first training camp and everyone is waiting to see Steve Young run out the tunnel. I don’t know where the reality in that lies,” Farmer said, via ESPN.com. “It’s like anything else. If you’re learning a foreign language, guess what, you’re not going to go to Spain tomorrow and in four weeks feel like you’re fluent in the language and just start talking. It just doesn’t happen like that. You may be able to communicate, but not effectively.”
Browns head coach Mike Pettine has already mad mention of Brian Hoyer needing to play better. Anything other than a 2-1 start is likely to see Manziel entering the picture after week four.
