  • RG3 asking the browns to sign him

  • N Neo

    I keep seeing Tom Brady's name being circulated in connection with the Browns and I just want to know who actually thinks he would consider coming here? Or that it would be a good idea? He said before that he was retired for good and is probably no where near football shape. Why would he come out of retirement to take a beating behind our patchwork line?

    Not only that, but how much cap space is left to sign a veteran QB or someone of Brady's caliber?

    Appreciate the brainstorming but 1 season of RG3 and out was enough.

    Browns have a lot more than people think, like $30M. Because they restructured a bunch of contracts.

    But I’m pretty sure Brady’s living in a mansion on a Florida island and money is not the obstacle with bringing him out of retirement. The whole brady idea was a meme that people took seriously

  • RG3 must be smoking some really good weed in retirement.

    "Run it back" - RG3 was 1-4 with the Browns, so what exactly are we running back, more shitty quarterback play by him?

     I believe I had a breakdown of a HUGE miss by him against the Eagles.  Mills concept?  Safety bit on the cheese and the post was WIDE TF open...   he didn't take it and threw short.     In the passing game he's chocolate Brady Quinn at best.

    RG3 seems like a nice dude, but his eyes suck.

    Not seen it for donkeys years, right funny film though!

  • I’m not even joking, and I rarely go out on a limb like that. But I would absolutely be at least humoring Tom Brady right now. It absolutely is worth a phone call.

    The cashier I saw at Walgreens today said his uncle’s co-worker’s wife is a realtor who said Tom Brady is shopping for a house in strongsville

    On top of that, my wife’s boyfriend just saw Brady’s plane landed in Cleveland- coincidence?

    But like for real, I’m never one of those zany fans. But it’s absolutely worth a phone call. If there’s one crazy bastard who might just do it, it’s him. Is it extremely, extremely unlikely? Of course.

    Of course, they should call all the long shot options. Not like they have anything to lose.

    I recall seeing Brady being asked about joining the jets when Rodger’s went down and had no interest, but the browns are a much more talented team. (And well, there’s not as many games left)

    ...level of stupidity.  He continued to run and take on tacklers.  It wasn't until later that I saw him slide for the first time in memory.  And he slid a yard short of the 1st down.  Can we get a retired baseball coach in here to teach our QB's how to slide?  And Stef always says something like, That's how DeShaun plays the game.  Fuck That!  You're the coach!  Tell him you'll fine his ass if he doesn't slide.  You CANNOT have your QB getting hurt and out for the season for doing avoidable stuff.  Now you're screwed Stef!

    Watson started 47 of 48 games for Houston between 2018-2020.

    Would you be happier if we had some statue who never runs and sits in the pocket?

    You know, like Bernie Kosar, who never had to worry about sliding because homeboy couldn't run a 40 under five days? The same guy whose career was effectively over by the time he was 30?

    I want my QB to SLIDE Dutch.  To SLIDE.  

    He's not some 5th round draft pick.  He cost us 3 #1 draft picks plus other picks.  And a quarter of a billion dollars.  And that's just for HIM.  Him being out costs the whole team!  It diminishes the value and ability of the whole team GREATLY.  The NFL is a QB driven league.  As good as Myles Garrett is, he can't throw TD passes....which makes him far less valuable than the QB.

    This isn't baseball where you can still get by without your #1 pitcher, or your cleanup hitter.  Football is different.  

    I'm not saying that he can't run.  That's an important and necessary part of the QB position.  But purposely taking hits is dumb and bad for business.  More than any other position in any team sport, the QB must stay healthy enough to play the game or the team is orders of magnitude less effective.

    Well I hope that is TRUE !  Maybe some good luck comes Cleveland   BROWNS way.   GO BROWNS !

    Brady's done. Let's just say for arguments sake he has an interest in joining the team, is he in shape or is he in that "I'm retired" mindset and let himself go? And unless his favorite security blanket comes out retirement also, I don't think it will end well for him here. His last season in Tampa was mediocre and I think he missed Gronkowski. 

    I remember someone calling the off season the "silly" season. Seems like some Browns fans are already in the silly season. Why not call Brett Favre while we're at it.

    Edit

    Or you can really piss off a whole bunch of people and call Ben Roethlisberger to see if he's available. ?

    If there’s one person in the history of the game of football who I’d bet is a) in great physical shape and b) would absolutely not be in the “retired” mindset it’s Brady. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if that dude is still throwing footballs daily just for the sport of it. 
     

    Again, I’m not silly. I get the odds are astronomically low. But if there’s one dude in the history of this game who would be a crazy enough bastard to say yes it’d be him.

    No cigar. You are even contradicting yourself. If the previous condition, as you say, made Watson more likely to get a worse injury, why the fuck was the 230 million dollar man allowed to play?

    Having a strained weakened joint or was it a hit?

    Let me give you the official diagnosis. It is called BULLSHIT. My best friend is an accomplished orthopedic surgeon..He calls this bullshit.

    I suppose it is possible some hairline fracture started to form.  If so, ask your friend if it is easy to not detect such a fracture.  Also, is it possible the bone wasn't even showing signs of a fracture but could somehow be weakened just the point it could fracture but hadn't?

  • Fitzmagic-just sayin' it's worth a call.

  • Just don't see Berry jumping into any panic decisions, until his week prepared Rookie QB get's this weekend.. (mojo)

    When we Win ?  17 - 9

    Berry's easy/cheap choice maybe QB Kellen Mond sitting on the Colts PS  ?

    Yes Browns fans... Don't Panic !   ?

    If this team was serious about making the playoffs... DTR wouldn't be starting.. I'd be calling someone with some playoff exp.

    DTR is well-versed in the offense that Stefanski is trying to create for Watson. It fits him.

    Unfortunately, he's a fifth round rookie, so he's probably not close to being able to run it in the NFL at this point.
