Browns coach Mike Pettine says he expects QBs Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel to get equal reps with the first-team offense next Monday night against Washington.

Manziel played with the first-team offense during Tuesday morning's practice, but Pettine said afterward that no decision has been made as to who will start the Browns' second preseason game.

But it won't necessarily matter, as Pettine wants both quarterbacks to get equal reps or close to it with the first-teamers. Whether that's by series, by quarter or by something else remains to be seen. Pettine said ''there's a lot of options on the table'' and the staff would figure it out when it meets during the team's off-day on Thursday. That includes deciding who will actually start the game.

Veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer is still atop the Browns' depth chart, and rookie Johnny Manziel is still No. 2 in the wake of the team's 13-12 loss to the Detroit Lions in the preseason opener Saturday night.

Of course, that could change after the next preseason game Aug. 18 at Washington.

But, for now, Hoyer still has the lead.

"Yeah, I mean nothing's changed," Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday after practice. "If there was a significant change on the depth chart, it would be reflected on the field."

After starting the exhibition opener, Hoyer worked exclusively with the first-team offense Monday while Manziel operated the second unit. The defense got the best of both quarterbacks, especially Hoyer, who threw two interceptions in 11-on-11 drills.

Pettine said the coaches have yet to decide which quarterback will start next week against Washington. He said "it'll probably be a few days" before the decision is made.

Mike Pettine: Johnny Manziel hasn't overtaken Brian Hoyer

Browns coach Mike Pettine acknowledged Sunday that Johnny Manziel has made "lot of improvement'' from the start of camp, but that he hasn't overtaken Brian Hoyer in the quarterback race yet and that there's no obvious frontrunner between the two.

"To me, if there was a clearcut favorite at this point, it would probably mean that one of them wasn't playing very well,'' Pettine said on a conference call. "And it's a good problem, having two guys that we think are both capable of being NFL starters.''

Pettine denied a report Sunday morning by ESPN's Bob Holtzman that Manziel has moved ahead of Hoyer, according to a team source. Holtzman was in Detroit for the Browns' 13-12 loss to the Lions, and has been covering the Browns regularly since Manziel was drafted.

"It's untrue,'' said Pettine.

Fantasy Impact: 

Pettine added that he hasn't made a decision who will start preseason Week 2 vs. Washington on Monday Night Football, even though reports were out yesterday that it would be Manziel. He also backed off a little bit about making a call concerning who will start the regular season coming before preseason Week 3. Seems like there's a long way to go before we get "The Decision."

Breaking down Brian Hoyer vs. Johnny Manziel - preseason game 1

It was the first preseason game for Cleveland QBs Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel.

Consider that it was the first pro game of any type for Manziel. It was the first game for Hoyer since he had ACL knee surgery last October. In some ways, both wanted to get through it without any major calamities. And they both accomplished that.

But it's so hard to draw any major conclusions, other than Hoyer's knee appeared sound and Manziel has a knack of using his legs to run for first downs. Hoyer didn't take any really hard hits. Manziel was belted a few times. Once, the trainers checked on him when he went to the sidelines. The rookie insisted he was OK.

Fantasy Impact: 

This article is about as fair a piece comparing both QBs as you will find. There have been headlines saying Manziel was good and yet others say he was up and down - all coming from the same game, so there is some bias out there even by the media. The writer, Terry Pluto, breaks it down pretty well in this article saying those who want Manziel will only see his positives and those who want Hoyer will see the same. Both had positives and negatives against the Lions, though. Manziel will start game 2 of the preseason and the Browns are expected to decide on their starter before the third preseason game - which is considered the final tuneup before the regular season.
