No, this isn’t an episode of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” or anything, but the decision as to whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown will make the start for the Cleveland Browns come Week 10 is currently a hot topic—nothing short of a bonafide “toss-up,” to be honest.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoEli Manning Connects With Odell Beckham Three Times in Losing Effort to Saints
Each and every quarterback in the NFL has his favorite receiving targets. For Tom Brady, it’s Julian Edelman. In Denver, for Peyton Manning, it’s Demaryius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoDeMarcus Ware and Teammates Annoy Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay’s Sunday Night Loss
Prior to Sunday Night’s game against the Denver Broncos, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers had been in the lead for nearly 80 percent of their games this season.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoDemaryius Thomas Goes Big for Broncos; Emmanuel Sanders Quiet
For nearly the entirety of the season, the narrative surrounding Peyton Manning has been that he’s simply too old to be considered a top-tier starting quarterback in the National Football League.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoWith Josh McCown Injured, Johnny Manziel Could See Time?
As far as professional football is concerned, in the past few years, there have been some pretty impressive trends.

Needless to say, this has been a rough season for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoEagles’ Sam Bradford and Riley Cooper Fail to Connect During SNF Loss to Panthers
Obviously, the relationship between a quarterback and his receiving core is of the utmost importance.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoKeep a Clean Sheet: Jameis Winston and Kirk Cousins Look to Minimize Interceptions
Regardless of name, number of off-field endorsement deals or years of experience, for quarterbacks, it’s key that the ball—as often as possible—remain in possession of the offense at all times.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoJulian Edelman Can’t Help But Find the End-Zone
New England Patriots’ wide receiver Julian Edelman can’t help but find the end-zone.

Lucas Miller 9 years agoThough Nabbing a Touchdown, Gronkowski Relatively Quiet In Patriots’ Win
Generally speaking, New England Patriots’ wide receiver Rob Gronkowski is a force to be reckoned with out on the field.

Though successfully securing 7-of-9 targets for a total of 105 receiving yards in the New England Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, it’s unlikely Danny Amendola’s performance was little more than a statistical outlier.
