Alex Tanney signed as backup QB

Interesting. And odd. So many veterans out there and some interesting practice squad guys. Never would've guessed we'd go with this kid in a million years.

This may be one of those Mike Lombardi specials where he tries to show how much smarter he is than anyone by picking up people that no one ever heard of and hoping that he finds a diamond in the rough.
More often though, Lombardi just shows how much dumber he is than everyone else because all we get is the rough and none of the diamond.

Look at it this way...Caleb had already PROVEN he was Weeden Version 2 with 3 TDs & 10 interceptions. At least this kid is an unknown & at this point, THAT'S somewhat of a positive. LOL

His father was a coach, he's been in the spread offense since his sophomore year in high school, he has a loose arm with great mid range accuracy and had a 5-1 TD/INT ratio in college. Played at a smaller school and had great production all 4 years as a starter.
I can see the appeal. At the very least, he's careful with the football. That's all we need.
Runs a 4.96, however. And I thought Weeden was slow...

Not comparing the arm ability to Brady (because obviously they are in two totally different universes), but Tommy Boy ran a 5.0+ coming out of college. I'm not too concerned with his 40 time if he can actually throw the ball accurately and hit open receivers.

He's launching 50 yarders off of the goalpost. Just have Gordon run 50 yards and have this kid throw him jump balls. I guarantee our offense would be better.

Isn't that what Weeden was famous for? Trick shots where he hit clay pigeons with a football. Do we really need another trick shot artist...or a quarterback?
I thought the same thing but who else is left? You can't deny that the video is impressive. But what other options beside bottom of the barrel washed up old timers or Tebow?

of course anyone can deny that video is impressive. I'm ONLY impressed if it's verified that was done with next no mulligans. And even then....why should I give a fuck? Seriously why should I give two flying fucks that this dude can do things with a football that will never translate onto an actual football game on Sunday? He was on the cowboys practice squad...know why? Cause he doesn't yet get the NFL game. He can throw a football with his dick I don't care...if he can't shift the coverage to pick up a blitzing Will or Sam, or he just can't seem to see those safeties creeping up underneath his routes....than I really really really don't give a fuck if he can bullseye my spread cheeks at 80 yds right dead square in my hole.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns brain trust was seen this evening at Liberty Ford . The trio was looking at some Ford pick up trucks and proceeded to buy a 1996 blue Ford ranger. Once the title was sign over Jimmy Haslam could be heard saying "Yee Haw this der receiver can scoot".
The trio was not done the three of them piled into the newly bought truck and headed toward Home Depot. They picked up 2 brand new 55 gallon gray rubber garbage cans. Lombardi sticking his head into one the the garbage cams could be heard saying "boy once the ball get in their its not coming out".
The evening was not over for these three as they had one more stop to make. The final stop was Sherwin-Williams Paints where they pick out orange, brown and white paint. Once at the checkout Joe Banner said they had spent to much money and decided not to purchase the white paint. Banner could be heard saying "I think we can go without the white".
With the addition of new quarterback Alex Tanney and three new receiver that Tanney is familiar with its beginning to look like he will get some playing time this Sunday against the Jaguars.

It's kind of the Lombardi M.O.....bring in a young guy who has some talent and give it a look. Maybe you hit on a winner. The older players are pretty well established in what they can do. Now the kid gets 5 games this season and heads in to next season.
Who knows, maybe he is another Kurt Warner who goes from filling grocery bags while waiting for anotther chance to one of the top QB's in the league.
I don't mind long shots at the bottom of the roster and am impressed with the way the team has treated the bottom of the roster. We've made a lot of moves with those last 10 players....and I like it. Do it enough and you are going to pluck a gem every now and then.
We may have plucked one in Rainey, but the coaching staff didn't give it enough of a chance to shine.
Not blaming them, just pointing out the reality.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

I doubt Rainey is a real talent. TB has seen success from multiple backs this year.
It makes me really wonder if Muscle Hamster is as good as he seems, or if it's the system.
He may have sucked for us too.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
really? this kid could be something? Is he going to start or is the Weeden horror show taking the field.

spot on. Weeden sucks and everyone knows it. At this point i'd rather watch the trickshot qb throw it off the field goal post. give anyone a chance over weeden. i just can't watch anymore Weeden.
-
if the kid starts I am watching the game.
-
Pretty impressive but it's a lot of rainbows and some luck. Not sure if full this was posted yet. Best comment: if we could just replace our receivers with garbage cans we would be unbeatable!
-
Does anyone think this kid could have "it"?
I mean, watching plays you could see where the QB, whether Campbell or Weeden, would not step up or to the side to extend the play.
Maybe Tanney knows what to do with the ball..
