5 QB’s In The Room

Which 3 do you roll with?
Two things that will define you: Your determination when you have nothing. Your attitude when you have everything. - Mike McCartney -
Watson put on IR for season. Flacco and Pickett compete for starting job. Gabriel stays as young backup. With any luck Sanders looks good in training camp and preseason and some desperate team trades us a 3rd rounder in 2026 draft.

It's definitely intriguing.
I really like what Flacco did in his short time here. The question is, can he repeat it?
They traded for Pickett for a reason. I'm clueless as to what it was, but hey, he was a 2 year starter. I think he stays unless he totally gets the bed in camp/preseason.
The 2 rookies will stay IMHO. DW on IR I would imagine.
My hunch is Flacco is gone if a QB needy team comes calling during camp.

Keep Joe and he starts
Gabriel and Sanders on the roster
Watson to IR
Pickett try to trade to a desperate team in the preseason for a late pick

I think in a perfect world they would have done what I’ve been calling for: Have Cousins as your starter, a vet with some experience as a backup and draft a mid-round guy that fits the system to be your Longterm backup.
Cousins didn’t end up available, so they replaced him with Flacco. Pickett ended up being the other vet, and Gabriel the rookie future backup. They traded down and got a 2026 first rounder. My evil plan was in place! ?.
Then the Browns couldn’t help themselves and just had to jump on the Shadeur grenade.

Yup. They did a great job of setting themselves up for next year's QB selection...including Gabriel as the #2 QB of the future. And then nobody drafted Sanders so they strayed from their plan. But they're not far off plan. All they have to do is dump Shedeur and they're back on track. And this is coming from a Shedeur supporter. I'm pulling for him. But if he and/or his father become a problem, I'm all for calling up the Eagles and asking what they'll give us for him. Or even just plain cutting him (last resort). Because, unless one of the QB's on the roster proves otherwise, the plan should still be to draft the franchise QB next April.

Dutch's response would be our best scenario.
Dutch's response would be our best scenario.
Yep, that's IMO the most realistic best case scenario.
The dream best case scenario is he comes in and by the end of the season he's shown the world that he legit was the #2 overall pick guy some thought he was, and now we have our QB for super cheap for four years AND he and his dad are model citizens and now the Browns have two first rounders that they don't need to use on a QB in next year's draft, because he's our franchise QB.
But yeah, my original response in reality is what we should realistically be hoping for. The above is such a wild idea that I might as well throw in Jennifer Lawrence becomes my new neighbor and my wife grants me a lifetime hall pass with her, and lo and behold JLaw's kink is middle-aged Italian guys from the Midwest.

It's really four. Watson will be IR'd.

When Pickett played for Pennsylvania's BEST team - he didn't have to worry if Pickens was in the mood to play football when he got his chances to play. He had Pro caliber WRs that played like professionals. The OLD Pittsburgh teams wouldn't have tolerated Pickens. That looked like it settled into a hard place to play QB before Pittsburgh drafted Pickett. Last year they benched the QB that started them off at 4-2 for another QB that lost his last 5 starts. The QB struggles weren't exclusive to Pickett by any means in recent years...
For the Browns, keep the 2 rookie QBs and see what Veteran QB runs the offense best. The Colts didn't get the Joe Flacco the Browns got; so at some point his age is going to factor into how many quality starts he has left. Loved what he did here in the 2023 regular season though...

Between the 4 possibles, surely they can all tank this team into a high first rounder and not count on Jax to do it for them.?

Oh wait.......................................we fucked up that scenario by adding two quality RBs with vision that will give the newly infused defense some extra time to rest up as we maintain possession of the ball. And an extra good TE to bail out whichever QB gets to start. So nevermind.?

I think I would place a bet on both the Browns picks being in the top 10.

So, Arch Manning who was never able to beat out Quinn Ewers (who wasn't drafted until the 7th Round this year) is only going to have 1 year as the Starter under his belt - is this the guy we're tanking for? Keep in mind, Arch has a protective family that will encourage him to stay at Texas for anywhere from 7-10 million $ unless they have salary cap issues like Woody's Wolverines already have ?. They'd also want him to have more experience like Uncle Peyton had by staying in college for his 4th season at TN. If they let him go to Cleveland - he's gonna feel like that little kid on the yellow raft in the movie Jaws...
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I don't see Arch entering the draft next year. The incentives to enter the NFL aren't as great as before. These top guys end up with pay cuts once they enter the NFL. Arch makes a sizeable amount of NIL money. Add in Arch comes from a family with plenty of money. Cooper Manning has a net wealth of 13 million, not to mention a couple of Uncles and Grandfather who have plenty of money.
It's not like Arch is that student with a case or two of Raman packed under his dorm bed.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Nah, the Jags will have Lawrence back. And he'll have a new WR. Plus, they added pieces to their D. I think they'll do much better this season.
