The Browns didn’t get the offensive jolt they were looking for from Johnny Manziel, but they won’t be pulling the plug on the rookie after one start.

Coach Mike Pettine called his team’s performance “shocking” after they were slaughtered by the Bengals on Sunday afternoon and said that the problems went beyond Manziel, who he said would start again next week. Manziel was 10-of-18 for 80 yards and two interceptions during the game, a performance that didn’t leave Pettine with much need to look at the film before making an assessment of how Manziel fared in his first NFL start.

“He didn’t play well. He looked like a rookie, played like a rookie. I know a lot of it was we didn’t play well around him, but he made some obvious mistakes that typically a veteran quarterback won’t make,” Pettine said, via the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Pettine added that the result was bad, but that things would be much worse if Manziel and the Browns didn’t learn from it and do better their next time out. That explains why the team will stick with Manziel and why Pettine avoided requests to speculate on what the outing meant for Manziel’s future as an NFL player.

The next two games will provide a bit more of an idea, but you’d imagine the Browns will give their first-round pick more than three games at the end of his rookie season before drawing any sweeping conclusions about his future chances of success.
