McNabb to Cleveland?

Browns in market for quarterback?
Share Print It My T&R One thing became clear after listening to the Browns' new decision-makers this week: They want to do something about the team's quarterback situation. So it's very possible that the Browns will enter the 2010 season with their eighth starting quarterback in 12 years and seventh in the last eight years. When it comes to finding the next Browns' quarterback, you have to start with Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert. That leads you to three primary candidates -- Matt Hasselbeck of Seattle, and Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb of Philadelphia.

The Browns need to get some guts and draft a QB who has talent. re-treads are not the answer

I agree. Draft the best QB. But it still would be nice to have Mcnabb for a stop-gap until the new QB that we draft this year takes over.

ah, sure bring these years past their prime, diminishing skills, never won-the-big-one, bad value qbs here to the sleepy hollow retriement club by the lake. let them pad their retirement accounts with cleveland brown dollars that could have been spent a lot wiser on a young qb projects. a bad idea. i understand the qb pool is weak but come on. and please save the farve comparisons. he is a once in a generation talent. kolb well hell yea but save the Heckert/Mcnabb, Holgren/Hasselbeck
hug fest....I suspect MH final qb decision this year is going to surpise us all.

I don't see McNabb coming here. He wants to win towards the end of career, and we aren't too close to that. He wants a super bowl.
I would love to draft Sam Bradford, but I am skeptical about his shoulder injury. I still haven't given up on either of our QB's, but I think you have to keep one and trade the other in order for one to have a chance. You don't want the other one breathing behind your neck for ANOTHER season.
I'm not for drafting a QB in the first round, but if someone falls I wouldn't mind spending a second or later.

i guess i missin something....i do agree with you re mcnabb...he does not have da ring but why, honestly, would he end his relationship (seemingly good)
with the philly club and take his show on the road to cleveland??
Draft wise, i think jevan snead of ole miss is a solid prospect with good size (6'3", 220) MOBILITY, and accuracy/
his stock has dropped some after a semi dismal 09 but he seems durable, .has kept his nose clean...depending on his performance in indy next month he could be a steal if he is available in latter rounds...with the proper grooming this kid can help the browns win

How about this:
If the Eagles truly want to transition Kolb into the starting role, we offer Rogers for McNabb. Their questionable defense gets instantly upgraded, and we get a QB who can complete a pass. I figure Rogers has to be worth a 1st round pick, and McNabb is easily worth that, so probably some sort of deal could be worked out, even if it took an extra pick or two. Rubin has proven that Rogers isn't an ideal 3-4 NT based on his (Rubin's) excellent run stopping ability, so IMO Rogers could be expendable...though I'm very excited to see him dominating off the end of the line.
We draft backfield in the first round and Colt McCoy in the 2nd and let him sit for 2-3 years behind McNabb.
I've come to the conclusion that will be deafting a QB no matter what, so this seems like a pretty good idea to me as opposed to paying Clausen or Bradford #7 overall QB cash (though I like both guys a lot). McCoy seems like an Aaron Rodgers kind of guy, where a couple years on the bench will do wonders for him.
Thoughts?

i am against drafting a QB,especially in the early rounds.
a stop-gap wouldn't hurt. I like all 3 qb's mentioned.
I'd be hesistant to trade Rogers, but it does seem like equal value, perhaps.
(i think Rogers would dominate in a 4-3)

Dan LeFevour would be your best bet. He is a proven winner and won't come with a huge price tag like Bradford. you could pick him up in the 3rd round.
I am not sold on Bradford, McCoy or Tebow at the next level. LeFevour has the "it" factor - he just wins.
LeFevour led CMU to a bowl victory in the 2006 Motor City Bowl. He was named the bowl game's MVP, winning as a redshirt freshman. Dan was one of 35 players named to the Manning Award Watch List in August 2007.[2] He was named Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks in October 2007,[3] and again in the second week of November.[4] Lefevour also garnered USA Today's Player of the Week for the week of October 16, 2007.[5] On December 1, 2007 LeFevour became the second player in Division I FBS history to pass for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season (Vince Young was the first). On September 12, 2009 at Michigan State, LeFevour passed Byron Leftwich to take over as the MAC all-time leader in total offense in a career. He currently holds Mid American Conference records for career completions, attempts, passing yards, passing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and total offensive yards. LeFevour is the only player in NCAA history with over 12,000 passing yards and 2,500 rushing yards and currently sits 2nd all time in total offensive yards. He also holds the FBS record for total touchdowns with 150.

FYI Bradford, McCoy and Tebow all "just win" as well...

I hear that if Favre retires, McNabb is a possiblity to be traded to the Vikings to replace him. They run essentially the same offensive system in Minn. as in Philly.

yes but you will pay more for them and have to draft earlier to get them. LeFevour is the best choice that won't cause you to have to overpay.
Tebow is not an NFL QB - he's a passing fullback
Bradford is injury prone
McCoy is great but he will demand huge money

Ben would not be nearly as good as he is now if he were drafted by Cleveland so that really does not make any sense. He was protected by a dominant run game and a dominant defense in his early years while he developed his skills. He would not have had that opportunity in Cleveland. We need a qb that created for himself when receivers are not open and one that can complete a pass downfield to a receiver who is open.

Well he won't get it based on his draft spot.
