I WILL get the Browns to a SB with Johnny Manziel in this franchise. Not activating Josh Gordon until Week 12. Hopefully Manziel doesn't get injured. But even if so, Hoyer will be a solid option to play with as well. Will not be doing any trading, but picking up free agents is a possibility, and will definitely occur if any major injuries happen.
Anyway, I'm not going to only be Manziel. I'll play as only the offense again tho. All Pro difficulty. Haters gonna hate. I'll probably do much better in this one, though, cause the Browns are much better and I think Manziel can get me more passes completed that need to be made.
Starting depth chart:
Manziel | Hoyer West | Crowell | Winston Hawkins | Austin | Benjamin | Burress | Gabriel | Moore | Gordon (inactive until Week 12) Cameron | Dray | Barnidge
First signing: Plaxico Burress. Had to sign someone to get Gordon off the depth chart. Didn't want to sign someone that good so I signed the 37 yr old Plax. It'll be an interesting dynamic added to this franchise too and might be a good red zone threat.

Yup, I can already tell this one's gonna go waaaaaaay smoother. Won the first game 34-14. 1-0
I'm gonna post all the stats after like Week 3. Manziel threw 2 picks tho... but also 2 TD and a solid overall game. This defense can actually get stops too, unlike the Jags D. Felt weird not being down like 14-0 / 17-7 almost immediately.

Second game was going amazingly... 31-0 at halftime... then it turned to shit after Travis Benjamin couldn't catch a pass right in his hands and tipped it right to a defender. Manziel ended up with a 3 TD 4 INT game and we still ended up picking up the W at least, 34-24.

Everything came together almost perfectly in Week 3 to beat the 2-0 Ravens 37-31.
Not playing defense but Justin Gilbert has 3 INT's in 3 weeks to lead the NFL going into Week 5.

Absolute BS Week 5 game. Legit threw 4 Pick 6's, one was a 100 yard return. Only down 4 like midway through the 4th and Manziel threw 2 of his 5 picks in our final 2 drives (one of them was 1 of 4 of the pick 6's he threw).
3-1

Grinded out a rough week 6 win vs the Steelers and then destroyed the lowly Jags in Week 7.
5-1... My stats still need more improvement (or consistency anyway) but it's not like I'm playing with star players either. I'll get it all together and make a run for the SB with this team.

Destroyed the Raiders Week 8.
Then Week 9..... Somehow went down 32-26, 2 seconds left in the game and this play happens:
Had to upload it to youtube. BUT IT'S 1 YARD SHORT (TO PLAX)
I gotta start trying that more tho...

The difference it makes to have a beast like Josh Gordon out there. 9 rec 125 yards & a TD... Andrew Hawkins did work too now that he's not the #1 threat. Destroyed the Falcons Week 12, easiest game by far. Could just be the Falcons secondary being complete trash tho.
Subject: Re: Burdur's Madden 15 Franchise #2: Johnny Football (Browns) Sun Nov 23, 2014 5:49 pm
Holy shit... just lost 34-37 to the Bills but I don't even care, that was an absolutely epic game / epic finish. Almost made a crazy comeback but couldn't get the onside in the end.
Josh Gordon: 5 rec 168 yards TD
Dude's a beeeeeast. Playing with these receivers on the Jags & Browns I forgot what it's like to have a beastly WR like him on the team.

Manziel balled out too, hasn't thrown an INT in the last 2 games. Had a really costly fumble tho. But I've been scrambling like a beast with him. Converting siiiick plays, trust me on that.
Crowell's been slacking BADLY the past 2 games. Idk what it is, my backup RB always does better no matter who it is.

I helped your Bills out a lot there... that was huge for them. This game's realistic though, they were REALLY hard to run on.
Now I'm 8-4 tied with the Ravens and this week I face the 8-4 Colts.

We doin it major now. 49-41 win over the Colts.
Johnny Football with 3 TD 2 INT but another 300+ yard game. Gotta try for at least 1 400+ yard game before the end of this season, I just don't want to keep throwing so many picks with him so it's tricky. With Josh Gordon it's a breeze though even though he only had 3 for 43 that game.

Absolutely no fucking clue what happened this game but I was up big and some kind of bs occurred. Last play of the 3rd quarter I throw a pick 6. Still up 21 to something tho.
Was my 2nd pick of the game. Also threw the 1st one early in the 3rd quarter.
In the 4th quarter I threw back to back to back to back picks... every drive. 4 INT's.
Manziel finished with 1 TD 6 INT and we lost 27-21 to the Bengals. Can't even believe what just happened.

Are you kidding me CB? You called for it.
Manziel injured, out for 4 weeks. He was beasting that game too... 9/13 178 yards 2 TD 0 INT. Hoyer came in and did somewhat ok though but I threw some picks with him... 10/13 136 yards 0 TD 2 INT.
Crowell had a game. 3 TD 100+ yards. Hoyer may be able to game manage us to where we need to be as long as Crowell can continue to get his.
We beat the Panthers 42-21. Heading into Week 17. 10-5 Browns vs 10-5 Ravens. About to post what the standings are looking like.

Signed veteran & ex-Brown, Seneca Wallace in case Hoyer gets hurt too.
Ravens: 10-5 Browns: 10-5 Steelers: 5-10 Bengals: 5-10 (yet I can't seem to beat them)
Subject: Re: Burdur's Madden 15 Franchise #2: Johnny Football (Browns) Mon Nov 24, 2014 5:18 pm
We blow the Ravens out 41-21.
Hoyer completed 12 passes. Threw 3 TD & 2 INT.
Crowell & West are a nasty 2 headed monster in this backfield. Shredded that Ravens D. Hoyer can game manage this team to a SB tbh. I just gotta stop making mistakes with the picks.

We have a 1st round bye week.
Full season stats:
Johnny Manziel: 91.7 Passer Rating | 63% | 3,876 yards 37 TD 27 INT - 46 att 305 yards 5 TD Brian Hoyer: 79.6 Passer Rating | 62% | 304 yards 3 TD 4 INT - 1 att 9 yards
Muuuuch better than the Jags season but the biggest flaw was I still could've limited my INT's more. Still at least feels like the type of season Manziel would have if he had a really good year (he'd still throw a lot of picks). 42 total TD's including rushing tho.
The Week 16 injury robbed him of a 4000 yards - 40 TD season (and probably 30 INT's )

Playoffs starting
9-6-1 Colts @ 11-5 Browns
Hoyer doing more than game managing us to a tie game right now. 13-13 at the half.
Hoyer: 15/19 186 yards 1 TD 0 INT
7 YPC on the ground. Crowell with 7 rushes for 48 & West with 4 rushes for 29.

Benjamin just bobbled a pass he should've caught which then resulted in an INT.
BUT on the next drive he redeems himself with a 68 yard TD.
Down 27-20 tho.
