  • Here are the 2015 Free Agent QBs......important because in my opinion, Brian Hoyer, being on this list will not be back....so the Browns have to pick someone else off this list:

    Pos. Player Team Age Note

    QB Ryan Lindley ARI 26 R

    QB T.J. Yates ATL 28

    QB Tyrod Taylor BAL 26

    QB Joe Webb CAR 29

    QB Jimmy Clausen CHI 28

    QB Jason Campbell CIN 34

    QB Brian Hoyer CLE 30

    QB Kellen Moore DET 26 R

    QB Dan Orlovsky DET 32

    QB Matt Flynn GB 30

    QB Scott Tolzien GB 28

    QB Matt Hasselbeck IND 40

    QB Matt Moore MIA 31

    QB Christian Ponder MIN 27

    QB Ryan Mallett NE 27

    QB Luke McCown NO 34

    QB Michael Vick NYJ 35

    QB Mark Sanchez PHI 29

    QB Tarvaris Jackson SEA 32

    QB Terrelle Pryor SEA 26

    QB Blaine Gabbert SF 26

    QB Josh Johnson SF 29

    QB Austin Davis STL 26 R

    QB Shaun Hill STL 35

    QB Jake Locker TEN 27

    QB Colt McCoy WAS 29

  • My choices: Either Jake Locker or Austin Davis. Jake Locker was considered potential #1 overall talent at one point. I think he lost his way in Titty land, but I think he could be one of those guys that could thrive in a new location/system.

    The other is Austin Davis. I liked him coming out of College.

    I don't know that either could be THE guy....the long term solution. But either could be a better choice than keepin BH or in turning the keys of the team over to JFF.

  • Isn't Locker injury prone? I could be completely off base.

    Maybe, and it has probably held him back. But of all the guys available he seems the sort that could turn his career around and become a really solid QB. I won't say Kurt Warner like....but maybe he could be, you know, Kurt Warner like.

  • I thought Locker would perform well in Shanny's offense and Sachize can get you through a season, but it all depends on the OC now, we are at ground zero offensively.

    The place to look is at the teams that are currently in the playoffs. While you won't take their OCs for a lateral move, you could promote a top notch QB coach....or "assistant OC" if such exists.

  • Something wrong with all these guys, thats why it's hard to pick.......but you never know....may be gold in them hills yet!

    Id probably take a look at Locker, Mallet and maybe Sanchez....all have flashed and are at the right age to mature....so maybe

  • When Mallet started for the Texans against us in the "Bellicheck Backup QB Bowl" he threw some decent passes. I wouldn't be "Oh woe is me" if Mallet or Locker ended up on the roster and won the starting qb job in a real open competition.

    I've never been impressed with Dirtied Sanchez

    ha....that comment will eventually come up for all of them....😉

    Dirtied?....did he do a gay porno or something?

  • Mallet has a cannon, and hasn't had a chance to prove much which makes him more interesting than other names.

    Locker has a repeated injury history, and isn't that good when he's healthy either.

    Anyway, no favorites on this list.

    I see Sanchez, Davis, Mallet, Hoyer, and Locker as about equal quality.

    Give any of them good pass protection and a run game and they'll win games for you.

  • FA QB "class" is very limited and has been discussed in other threads. I think we will trade for a vet starter.

    A Trestman/ McCown reunion would work for me. McCown could be very cheap after Draft Day one, but should Foles become expendable in Philly...

  • Mallet-best long term bet if the Browns are considering being rid of the circus.

  • Maybe Michael Vick will make Mark O and Mik's dreams come true

  • Wow Wow guys. We have Johnny football. We have been waiting been waiting for some one to change our luck at the qb position. We can wait longer for him to start wrecking this league.

    now i know you're 15.

  • TJ Yates is an interesting name. I remember him being the 3rd QB for Houston and being pressed into action late in the season. If memory serves, he did quite well.

  • He did good for a back up. Nothing spectacular. Equal to Hoyer

    That was kind of the point I was making. Especially if Hoyer does not return.

  • Give me Trestman as OC and trade for Foles.
