Nope. He was fine, though not what anyone would call great, in the last game. He had been bad most of camp and horrible against Baltimore; we'll see which one shows up against the Chargers.

San Diego's pass rush isn't good to judge anything by

Probably, but I'll take the one game of improvement, and shed a tear when he gets cut in a week.

Redskins offense looked promising. Kirk scoring when RG3 could not will only make the pundits even more insufferable. At least they'll have something to talk about instead of the stupid name. Garcon, Roberts, Jackson, and Reed will be an insane set of weapons. Here's hoping Robert can use them. The guy still makes dumb moves and can't slide worth a drat. Morris looks steady as always so long as you don't pass to him. Helu didn't really set himself apart; Royster looked better to me. Jackson looks like a great deep threat.

RG3 is going to get murdered by Clowney.

Defense looked good, particularly the front 7, but how much of that was us and how much of that was Cleveland is up for debate. Tons of pressure and sacks. Secondary did well enough. The Rambo "tackle" that produced the fumble was great. In the regular season that's going to be a miss.

Cleveland needs to pick a QB and let him develop chemistry with his offense. Lots of bad timing and poor throws by both QBs. Just pick Manziel, trade Hoyer to Houston, and enjoy the jersey sales while the rookie decides if he's going to excel at the next level or not. The defense looked pretty good overall.

No joke Favre could probably start for at least a third of the league unless he's completely let himself go.

Encouraged by some of the lasers RG3 threw and hopefully they put a v-chip in him to discourage running like a TE.

Brett Favre throws a football over a mountain. Somewhere on the other side of the mountain, Ben Roethlisberger is killed by the same football.

RG3 running around and crumpling his legs up under himself when he got tackled made me actually feel something during a preseason game. It was weird. He had a couple passes where he hung in the pocket and looked for another option where he previously would've just took off, so that was encouraging.

Defense looked good against two probably real bad QBs. Also, Captain Kirk is wearing Rexy's old number. It's kinda off-putting.

You will probably better options come up if you're thinking they might have to play this year. Still hope Shaw ends up somewhere he might have a chance to play eventually.

His best chance to play might be with the browns. We have started 3 different QBs pretty often the last couple years

Whoever covers the Browns over at the ESPN blogs loving hates Manziel.

quote:

Manziel said he slipped up and he "should have been smarter."

No kidding.

He said he gets endless grief from opposing teams and fans, and Joe Haden said he heard all kinds of disrespectful things directed at Manziel.

Whatever.

Show some class and respect the game. It's not difficult.

...

Manziel's week started with him missing a meeting and ended with a middle-finger salute. In between he barely completed 50 percent in practice and played poorly in Washington.

Nice week, hotshot.

That was Tony Grossi. McManamon was an Akron beat guy before taking the job at ESPN.

I don't care about the middle finger, I fail to see why I should care about the middle finger.

Connor Shaw is good peeps though, good for him.
