This is a gross understatement. He looked flat out lost on the field a lot of the time.

Make no mistake, the Browns desperately wanted this to work. Manziel just didn't put in the effort needed to be a QB in the NFL. I'll never forget the story about him showing up to the 2014 Indianapolis game shortly after noon for a 1pm kickoff. At the time, Hoyer was clinging to the starting job by a thread (and would have probably lost it if Manziel showed he wanted it in any way) and that was a game in which Manziel absolutely could have played in if he gave a damn.

The guy has only had 4 or 5 starts! How could you say he looks lost when he hasn't been given a fair shake. Peyton Manning was terrible his first year. Hell, the Raiders gave JaMarcus Russell 3 years as a starter to try and prove himself.
