Johnny Manziel had better results when standing in the pocket than he did on the run during the Cleveland Browns win over San Francisco on Sunday.
That as much as anything shows Manziel’s growth as an NFL quarterback.
Against the 49ers, Manziel stood in the pocket on 25 of his 31 throws. He only scrambled on six plays.
The numbers from ESPN Stats and Information break down this way.
In the pocket Manziel completed 17-of-25 for 182 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. Passer rating: 102.4
Outside the pocket, Manziel was four-for-six for 88 yards, with no touchdowns and the one glaring interception.
