  • I do have to say I wish we had taken a run at signing Josh Freeman. I am guessing he was had pretty cheap making it a low risk signing with high upside. He had it going on and then tanked. It appears as though personal / off field issues contributed. He has a chip on his shoulder so if those are resolved he has high upside.

    No, I mean use that roster spot for another player at a position of need. Depth. Promote Cooper back on to the roster or bring in another body that is going to play on Sundays on special teams as opposed to a third string clipboard holder.

    How about a practice squad QB then? Like you say, bring the Coop back up. At least get a guy that they can use in practice.

    I mean, Marquise Gray? Why don't we just sign Dorian Gray. At least he would never get hurt...unless he is stabbed in the heart.)

    (Oh, OK for those who don't know who Dorian Gray is:

    One of my favorite books. Oscar Wilde might've been gayer then AIDS but he sure as hell could write. I absolutely hated the movie though.

    Oh yeah Matt Flynn sucks. Don't sign him.

    Flynn's awful and we save a roster spot by not signing a third QB.

    Let's go with the two healthy, experienced veterans and an extra roster spot.

    I really don't think there's a need to sort through garbage right now.

    Just asking......Do we have a guy that can go in at QB if we happen to lose both in a game? Used to be Cribbs, but I don't know if

    there are any guys on this roster that can fill that need.

    Issues as far as the Browns were concerned- Freeman wants to be a potential starter, he wouldn't be starting here anytime soon unless Weeden gets hurt. Plus, he's in the substance abuse program- one more strike and he's done for a year.

  • two words that describe matt flynn:

    FUCK NO.

    what are we on alert for every player that gets cut nowadays?

    last i watched the browns they looked pretty decent. just won three in a row.

    are we just going to keep bringing in people and working them out while threatening our best players with trades?

    what kind of god fucking awful logic is this shit?

    Yup... seems clear that was the case.

    I agree on Flynn, an over hyped, one hit wonder if there ever was one.

    As for your question...

    If we're not we sure should be.

    If Gray is the new Josh Cribbs (converted college QB to WR/RB/FB/ST), then lets see if he can be a kickoff returner.

    I don't know about kick returner , he's a big target at 6'4 240.

    But he is an intriguing guy, ran a 4.73, played QB and WR in college and has played halfback and tight end in the pros.

    I bet Norv starts to have some fun with him.

    Robinson is not on our roster. Is he on anyone's roster? ML Woody would know.

    Hoyer was cut from the Steelers and cardinals.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Hoyer wasn't really the designated starter though. He was never going to beat out Big Ben, and didn't get much of a shot in AZ. Flynn was basically named starter by both the Seahawks and Raiders, and lost his job to a guy with 0/1 starts. You've got to think, given the situation in at least Oakland, he could have stayed on the roster if he was decent.

    If we picked him up it would be as a third qb.

    Weeden lost his starting job to a guy with one start that had been cut from multiple teams.

    Fancy doing a list of all of the guys that have been cut and *not* lead their teams to titles? Or even started a game? I'll see you next year when you're done!
