Kosar: situation Browns put young QBs in is 'almost abuse'

Bernie Kosar thinks the Cleveland Browns are setting up Johnny Manziel to fail.

The former Browns quarterback appeared on WTAM 1100 radio on Monday, and tore the organization to shreds.

"How we're limited with our weapons offensively and it is somewhat of a tough spot for Johnny given this team and given this organization," Kosar said as relayed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. "It's just a complete recipe for a disaster."

According to Kosar, it doesn't matter who's plugged in at quarterback because the front office hasn't created a winning culture within the franchise.

"You can't put (young quarterbacks) in these spots," Kosar said. "It's almost abuse. If you're going to keep running it the way we're running it, we may as well do nothing (to fix the quarterback situation), because you'll kill two more kids coming in here. It'll fail. It does not matter right now."

Maziel fell flat in his first professional start last week, completing 10-of-18 passes for 80 yards and a pair of interceptions in a 30-0 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
