I will own it that I can't find a quote on it. I took some liberties and paraphrased. My bad.

That is not liberties or paraphrasing, that is making it up. The actual quotes have been posted and were not negative at all towards Clowney.

to be fair, you live halfway across the country, you are only getting the medias version of what was said, not the full version, unless you were listening to the interview as it happened. I dont really blame you. also you owned up to paraphrasing. nbd

Yea....rookies do forget plays....now back to Connor Shaw - Browns.

[Coondog]

Hopefully Connor will get more PT next game with all the fan attention he's been getting lately.

That's what I thought too...Wonder what he's gonna splurge on? An X-Box AND a PlayStation? Such a child.

Manziel will be listed second in line for playing time, but since he admits he does not know the play book they could possibly give Connor mop-up duty. I heard a "guest expert" on ESPN radio yesterday that if Connor fills this role like he did Monday night that there will be other teams interested in his services.

That same "expert" said he did not think Connor would play in the coming preseason games since the Browns have stated that they would split the playing time between Hoyer and Manziel, which now might be mostly Hoyer since he was named the starter today.

I doubt Connor sees the field in the regular season, unless an injury occurs to Hoyer or Manziel, or the two of them stink it up so badly that they go to option 3 (or 4?).

Steve Spurrier, Dylan Thompson on Connor Shaw's NFL debut



Nice!

[COCKYWOOD]

Connor helped himself out a lot the other night! He once again proved to himself he can do it and he also let others take notice. With very limited snaps in practice he was able to go out and do good things. It might take awhile, but Connor will get a shot.

Second, for all those willing to burn JFF at the stake, get real folks... It was a middle finger... Most of you will give that to someone in traffic on the way to work this week and it won't mean shit...

Was it the best decision? No, walking away in hindsight would have been better, but is that any worse than the F-bombs most of those guys throw out after almost every play and the getting up in someone's face and taunting that some guys do?

Come on guys put this in perspective. If the title of an article read "random guy gives someone the finger and walked off" would it be newsworthy? No...

Jesus H. Christ -- STFU with that noise.

Johnny Mangina has sucked so far in the NFL and when Connor got his shot he outplayed him. Deal with it.

Its not just the deep ball, as far as composure and comfortability, Shaw looked the most comfortable out of all of the quarterbacks that played besides cousins. Shaw made a couple throws that made him look like he'd been in the league for a while.

Now to Johnny D-bag. Im prone to believe that Johnny Football is dumb, and by dumb I mean, the kid hasnt learned the playbook yet. He looked utterly confused on the field a majority of the time. I honestly believe that Sumlin let him play backyard football on the field, just like every other coach, and now its catching up to him.

As for the middle finger, its not just simply the gesture, its the fact that the middle finger is just another incident in a long line of problems that seem to plague him. i.e. rolling a 20 in a vegas restroom, "accidently showing up late to a meeting" and theres many more.

Take off the glasses and see what the rest of the country is looking at.

[JulesWinnfield90]

I dont really have a dog in this fight and I certainly can't stand that kid Johnny Fratboy, but people on here that think Shaw should be starting are delusional...he looked solid against guys that aren't even gonna make the final 52 man roster. Good for him, but lets not turn it into something that it wasnt

Lurk? Your aware its August 2014 and your probably a Texas A&M Fan or Clemson Fan who doesn't understand how to properly troll.
