The merits of either Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel starting at quarterback for the Browns have been talked about ad nauseam.

Hoyer is a game manager, and Manziel brings a dynamic aspect that Cleveland’s offense is missing. But it could have been Manziel's off-field decision this week that convinced the team’s coaches to go with Hoyer one more time.

FOX Sports Insider Jay Glazer explained that Manziel on Tuesday night went to a Cavaliers game before the staff had decided on a starter. On Wednesday, head coach Mike Pettine went with Hoyer.

Manziel's decision -- combined with veterans in the locker room backing Hoyer -- could have been the deciding factor, as Glazer explains in the video above.
