No one thought Johnny Manziel would have it easy when he started his pro career with the Cleveland Browns. Manziel got hurt during last week’s game and will miss the season finale–but not after passing for just 175 yards in two games as a starter. Manziel’s looking back at the season now, and told ESPN that he “doesn’t think it’d be fair to give up on somebody after seven quarters of football.” [photo: Grant Halverson/Getty]
It’s been quite the learning curve for Manziel as he tries to adjust to the NFL game and he has admitted that he needs to go into this offseason with a different mindset. It is going to be a very important offseason for Manziel if he plans to be the starting quarterback for the Browns when next season begins. Cleveland fans aren’t going to put up with another few games like Manziel had again next season.
Manziel added that “it’s been a year of growing up for me. It’s a job for me now. I have to take it a lot more seriously than maybe I did at first.” That would be very true and maybe he will learn that the pro game is completely different than playing at Texas A&M. The 2015 season can’t come soon enough for Manziel to prove any naysayers he may have differently.
