What five reasons can be listed to support the idea that Johnny Manziel should start from now on for the Cleveland Browns?

Johnny Manziel has seen his name became one of the hottest and most talked about in all of professional football since his debut yesterday, and rightfully so. He came into the game after head coach Mike Pettine decided to bench starter Brian Hoyer, and played a very impressive first game and made some plays that Hoyer would have had no chance to make.

Cleveland is now sitting at 7-5 following their loss to the Buffalo Bills, and their playoff hopes aren’t as strong as they were just a couple short days ago. While Hoyer has been able to come up with some clutch wins, he has also had some major disappointments. Early on in the season he took care of the football well and kept his offense in the game, but the interception totals have begun rising and he simply isn’t the quarterback that he was early on in the year.

Following the plays that Manziel made with both his arm and legs, there is already a large chunk of Browns fans that want Pettine to make the switch permanently. The Browns have always planned to groom Manziel as their future at quarterback, but his time might come sooner than expected.

That being said, what five reasons can be made for Manziel taking over as the starting quarterback right now moving forward?
