Is there any way Brian Hoyer can take any of the responsibility for Johnny Manziel’s disappointing NFL career?

Why Did Johnny Manziel Slams Former Teammate Brian Hoyer For His Career Decline?

Manziel had an incredible college career at Texas A&M before joining the NFL in 2014. In the 2014 draft, he was chosen by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd selection.

Hoyer led the Browns in passing yards per game and started all but three of the team’s games that season, even after Manziel joined the team. The next offseason, he left Cleveland, allowing Manziel to assume the reins as the team’s quarterback, but the damage was already done, in the words of the Heisman Trophy winner.

Manziel told Shannon Sharpe the following about his relationship with Hoyer and how the QB room in Cleveland was:

“My quarterback room was not a home for me because of Brian Hoyer. Brian Hoyer had been waiting on opportunity to be able to go really provide for his family, get an opportunity and he saw how much of an upper hand he had on me and he didn’t hold back when it came to that. So there were instances in the quarterback room early on when I would ask the same question a couple times and he’d be at the head of the table and go, ‘[Disgusted noise] Again? We’re doing this again?’ Keep him out of it, right. Let’s just cut that off and I don’t have a bad word to say about Brian Hoyer. That is just fact of what happened in that room.”

Manziel begged Sharpe to go speak with teammate quarterback Connor Shaw and former quarterback coach Dowell Loggains to corroborate the charges when he was questioned about their veracity.

The 38-year-old Hoyer is still in the NFL, playing backup quarterback for the Oakland Raiders, but his two prolonged stints as a starting quarterback in the NFL were in 2014 with Cleveland and in 2015 with Houston.
