Cleveland fans react to Browns benching Johnny Manziel
The Johnny Manziel era has ended as quickly as it started.
A week after Manziel was named the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, he was unceremoniously benched after the Browns found out he was partying over the team's bye week.
For long-suffering Cleveland fans, Manziel's benching was the final straw.
Many vented their frustrations with the franchise - particularly head coach Mike Pettine - with the Twitter hashtags "#FirePettine" and "#BoycottTheBrowns."
Loyal to my teams my whole life, loss after loss, mistake after mistake. You have to try to be this terrible this consistently. #Browns

At what point do we stop being good and loyal Browns fans and stop supporting such garbage?

@JManziel2 should probably just demand a release and go sign with a team that hasn't been rebuilding for over 10+ years #BoycottTheBrowns

As long as Pettine and Farmer are in control, we are going to be the biggest joke of the league! #FirePettine #FireFarmer

Josh McCown will start the Browns' Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens, with Austin Davis serving as his backup.
