INDEPENDENCE Ohio LeBron James declared Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel ready to go should he be called upon to start Sunday.
I talk to him weekly he's ready to go but he's still learning James said Monday following Cavaliers' practice. He's a rookie he's still learning. If coach is ready for him to give him the nod he'll be ready to go but he's going to have some bumps and bruises just like any other rookie quarterback would have in the NFL or any other professional sport.
Manziel was inserted into the Browns' offense in the fourth quarter of a 26 10 loss Sunday in Buffalo. His replacement of starter Brian Hoyer sparked a Twitter frenzy and triggered reactions from national pundits on whether it was time to hand Manziel the reins.

LeBron James ( KingJames) November 30 2014James' marketing firm LRMR represents Manziel (as does Fenway Sports Management which has a partnership with LRMR) and the two have developed a friendship.
You know I'm one of his biggest supporters he's part of the family so of course I want him out there but that's for the coach to decide and I thought he played well in the two possessions he had yesterday.
Manziel played two series Sunday. On the first he drove the Browns 80 yards and scored his first NFL touchdown on a 10 yard run.
Manziel found himself in trouble with the Browns' organization for some off field behavior over the summer and last month was involved in an altercation in front of the elevator in the downtown luxury apartment and hotel building where he lives.
