When the Raiders are in order and you’re not, that’s when you know you have a problem. That’s when you know you’re the Browns.
The team fell to the Raiders on Sunday, failing to complete the comeback in the fourth quarter for a 27-20 loss. Driving toward an equalizing TD, Josh McCown predictably threw the game-ending INT.

Head coach Mike Pettine -- spoken like a proud parent -- praised his QB regardless.
I'm Johnny Manziel Mike Pettine, and I have DirectTV. And I'm Josh McCown Mike Pettine, and I have cable.

"I don't know if I would say [McCown looked] 'rusty,'” he said, per Cleveland.com. “He made some big throws in the game, and missed some. I was proud not just of him, but how we hung in there offensively and had a chance to tie it at the end.

“Josh will be the first to tell you he made some throws and had some he'd like to have back."
We’ll be the first to tell you we saw this coming.
There’s a reason -- for his career -- McCown has a 84.5 QB rating. There’s a reason he’s yet to win a single playoff game. At 36, he’s nothing more than a stop gap.
Josh McCown 0-2 Johnny Manziel 1-0

A stop gap Manziel cruised past in 2015.
Ups and downs are expected for a team still looking for an identity. They’re easier to swallow with a QB in development, not one past a prime he never had. Unfortunately for Manziel, there’s nothing McCown can do wrong to cost him his job.
Even throwing a game-ending INT.
