Alex Smith Release
-
Smith has improved each year, and can compete at the NFL level. The only problem with signing him in Cleveland would be that there would be no competetion between him and Weeden. If the Browns bring him in, he WILL be the starter b/c of the salary we would have to pay him. I'm just not sure he is that big of an upgrade that we toss BW to the side...
The last thing I want is a QB controversey. If we want Alex Smith, sign him and start him. If not, moving right along...

Colt is "THE GUY". End of Story, this is getting sad. Colt is OUR Franchise QB.

Colt is "THE GUY". End of Story, this is getting sad. Colt is OUR Franchise QB.
Not on this team. Not on a team wanting to have an attacking, throw the ball down field offense. Colt has a noodle arm and can't see over the offensive line, how does that translate into the kind of offense Chud and Norv are wanting to run?
Colt will be a great backup to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay next season.

“I think Norv and Chud have been very open that they like a lot of what Brandon [Weeden] does,” Haslam told reporters today in New Orleans. “But we’re going to have competition at that position. And I think competition makes us all better, and we'll see where that competition comes from.”
“They’re studying,” Haslam said. “I think we have a pretty good feel for what our needs are. They’re going to look at free agency, and they’re going to look at the draft. I think we’ll be selective in what we do in free agency, but if there’s some talent out there that matches our needs and it’s at the right dollar level, then I think we’ll probably make some moves. I don’t think you’ll see us make any big, splashy, high-priced moves because I think we’ve said all along we’re going to build through the draft.”
Write it down: Browns will bring on Derek Anderson thru FA and Mike Glennon as a draft pick. Weeden stays as backup to DA. McCoy and Thaddeus are gone.

from Joe Thomas
“We haven’t talked specifics about offensive scheme,” Thomas said. “I know Chud’s a smart guy and he’s gonna maximize the abilities of the players we have. So if we have a guy back there who’s athletic like Cam Newton, he’ll probably incorporate some of the zone read stuff. But if we’ve got a guy like Derek Anderson, what he was the first couple years, we don’t want him running anywhere. So I think it’s gonna be more of a traditional offense. I’m sure he’ll tailor his offense to the personnel.”
I wonder why Joe Thomas mentioned Derek Anderson and not Brandon Weeden or Alex Smith or Ryan Mallet or Michael Vick or Colt McCoy or Jamarcus Russell?

And he also said,
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen at quarterback,” Thomas said. “I know we’ve got a couple guys with a lot of starting experience and we’ve got one guy who’s got to start. So I don’t know what angle they’re gonna take at quarterback but I imagine there’ll be a competition and I’m excited to see who’s going to win.”
So spin it how you want...

Yes, He will. Colt will be on the team and be the STARTING QB.
In a straight forward QB competition Colt beats Weeden. The ONLY reason that Weeden beat out Colt is because of obvious factors.
1- Panic induced, wasted first round pick @ 29 years old and MUST play now. Everybody knows the Browns would have been better served by adding another first round Guard or Linebacker, and essentially blowing that gift wrapped first rounder cost the FO their jobs.

Poe, the Browns have already said that are going to "bring in" competition for Weeden. Meaning ... that competition is not on the roster.
Colt does not fit Chud's offense. Charlie Frye lasted one half in it.
It's vertical. Big arm. No points for "moxie".

He doesn't get it and he won't get it. It's wasting time trying to get him to understand that Colt has played his last down for the Browns.

I think we draft Tyler Bray.

Okay, I get what you guys are saying and all, I've just got my own opinion on our QB situation. I really feel that Colt can do the things we need him to do to win. That's the issue here, I just want to win. Weeden didn't convince me last year... I found him quite boring to watch. Atleast entertain me if I'm destined to watch our Brownies lose week after week. I've got a good feeling about Colt and think he stays. I respect your opinion and if he is by chance cut(which would be pointless, he's one of the best backups in the NFL, IMO) I would hope that it's because we have a QB on the roster worthy of replacing him with.
Good Luck to all the QB's trying out for Starting position next year. I'm excited- just win and show some heart! May the best man win!
