Browns Making Huge Mistake, Delaying Inevitable by Starting McCown over Manziel

Mike Pettine has been infected.
He has Cleveland Browns Syndrome and there's no known cure. There's no other way to explain why Pettine—the organization's second-year head coach—continues to defy logic and hurt his own franchise by propping up Josh McCown as the starting quarterback and failing to recognize that Johnny Manziel should be viewed as the only real option under center. 
Per Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Pettine confirmed—apparently with a straight face—that McCown has been cleared to return from a concussion and will indeed start in place of Manziel Sunday against the Oakland Raiders
By doing so, he's hurting his team. The laughingstock Browns haven't been to the playoffs since 2002, haven't won a postseason game since 1994 and have never been to a Super Bowl, and they won't get any closer by taking the lame, unimaginative and cowardly route they're embarking on by sticking with McCown rather than gambling on Manziel.
