  • I heard the coaches left handed praise for the kid. "well you might not be as strong or is fast or a smart as anybody else but he's got a lot of heart and we like that." Thanks for the ringing endorsement coach.

    Maybe there will be enough young guys on the bubble who want to make one more good impression and at least make it a fun game to watch.

  • Yeah I heard that yesterday Z. I actually laughed out loud in the car.

  • MKC says maybe Tyler Thigpen.

    Yech, he was awful in camp.

    I think she just wants to throw out a name she remembers.

  • Grossman come to Baltimore and take a beating for a team playing for nothing on a holiday weekend, or sit on a beach with a cocktail and his hot wife? No surprise really.

    A younger guy would be more apt to try and probe something, at Grossman's age doesn't care.

    So Manziel is officially out with a bruised labia, but Hoyer kept playing with a seperated shoulder and isnt ruled out this week?

    Got it. Johnny Franchise.

    I've been wondering how JM would have handled the hit Hoyer took...

    Last game of the season + team suddenly needs a quarterback + NFL career possibly on the line. I suspect Shaw's been dreaming about this opportunity all his life. Shaw will be prepared if he gets the call.

    So Mister Potter......as a gamecocks and Connor Shaw fan, dont you think it's kind of unfair for us to play him now?

    I mean, dont you think he'd rather wait till next year and practice a little bit more?...maybe with the 1st teamers?

    I wonder if Connor is downright pissed off the Browns are forcing this game on him...!

    OR....is he a gamer who knows this is his chance and is excited for the great opportunity and a chance to man up and show his stuff?

    What say you?

    I suspect Rexy just completed his tax planning on Saturday and the $53k would have shot it to hell.

    Loved the "Major League" insert...

    Exactly- as a 10+ year vet, if he hasn't been stupid with his money- he's already a millionaire many times over. Doesn't need the $53k that bad.

  • Someone was asking what happens if shaw plays well....

    IF shaw plays well the offseason discussion becomes more complex.

    You'll have the guys who will want him to be the new starter based on a very small sample size as well as guys who will say that he hasn't done enough to prove himself as a starter. Sounds eerily similar to some of the discussions going on last off season.

    Either way, fuck it, let's see what the kid can do. if he's a beast it's like hitting 20k on a 1$ scratch off ticket. If he's dogshit the ticket was only 1$

    This place will turn into a circus. The turnstiles will start cranking up. Out goes the Manziel apologists, in comes the SC crowd, we'll all be at each others' throats, naked ladies will be serving pancakes, the ghost of Don Knotts will perform Monty Python skits... It'll be fantastic!

  • WOW turned down by rex grossman of all people. What an embarrassment. Maybe they can convince Vince Young or Josh Freeman to start!

  • Mary Kay Cabot ‏@MaryKayCabot 25m25 minutes ago

    Brian Hoyer 'would be down' right now for Ravens, Connor Shaw will take all reps today http://dlvr.it/7vpLTX


  • Were I a betting man, I be down for Hoyer starting. Guy's a gamer. Supposed to be a Friday decision.

    Were Shaw to play and look good, it might add complexity, having more options tends to do that, but should also add a little more fire to JM's off-season efforts. Then TC can sort everything out.

    I, for one, would enjoy a competition to see who is the best rather than who sucks the least...

    No QB is going to look good in this scheme, the book is out, penetrate the zone blocking and you stop the browns. I seriously doubt we can stop dumerville and suggs from penetrating. Over/Under 5 first downs by the browns offense on Sunday? I say under.

    Not as if that's a new angle just for the Browns... or just for the ZBS for that matter. It all comes down to execution. Put a healthy Mack back in the line and I like our chances.

    Speaking of execution...

    John McKay was once asked what he thought about his expansion, Tampa Bay Bucs' Offense's execution...

    "I'm all for it," was his reply.

  • I wish Shaw all the best. Hope he starts. This is a huge opportunity for him. There is no pressure either. Win/Win scenario for Shaw.

    I'm on board for the Shawshank Redemption to start. Hoyer's a great backup. Manziel is looking like a "oh gee I thought the NFL was just like college" doofus.

    Clarity is needed here. Shaw can't win the starting job in one start- but he sure can win a roster spot with a good showing.

    He plays well, it makes one of the other two very expendable.

  • Didn't we sign thigpen to start on Sunday?
