Josh McCown let go by the Bucs
-
For a bridge QB, I'd much rather have Hoyer resign in Cleveland.
I am assuming Hoyer is gone.
So early 2014 Hoyer vs. 2013 McCown? Close call, but I am inclined to lean towards Josh.
Im assuming he's gone too..
Perhaps I don't understand the interest in McCown yet the lack of in Hoyer.
For me.....and as a bridge.....McCown seems like the better option simply because he can accept his role...no matter what it is.....
As a bridge QB, it would seem we need someone who is wiling to help develop younger qb's...willing to sit(without ego issues).....willing to share with guys like JFF.....etc....
Hoyer has been pretty clear that his focus is to be a starter and he wasn't exactly a great tutor for the younger QB's, who he views as competitors. If the Browns dont see him as the future starter, but thats all he wants to be...then they are on different trains going different directions...
McCown, on the other hand, is openly willing to sit..teach...coach...or play...whatever we need...which, right now, IS what we need.

I've been hearing McCown is looking for $5 mill a year for his services.
Seems a bit steep for a 35 yr old bridge QB/tutor/mentor or whatever he's looking for.

Yes it does.....not sure where you got that figure, but cant believe its valid
He's never made that much his entire career...

They were throwing that 5 mill figure around on the radio a couple of days ago.
But you know as well as I do that just because he's asking for 5 mill doesn't mean he's going to get it.

Hoyer done here, can't say I don't blame him. First-draft Manziel. 2nd Farmer and Owner want Manziel on field. 3rd bring in McCown. TB has decided Winston and Glennon compete for Starter in Tampa Bay and McCown out. I Believe Hoyer is over any text to field and Farmer can't cover it up. Damn shame Hoyer never had a chance to keep Gordon on the field for 2 years. Cameron and injuries to the Best OL in the League all sucks From your HomeTown Team. Hope Hoyer get's paid and does well..

I heard on the radio this morning that he left without signing. Apparently making up his mind on where to go (other interviews).

Im thinking the radio guys must have had some bad info.......cant believe he's asking nearly that much

making up his mind?
did the Browns offer a contract?
-
Bills are going after him, deal should be done by Friday.

Which is a shame.
Because replacing a QB that went 7-6 with a 76.5 rating with one that went 1-10 with a 70.5 rating would have went over well with the fanbase.

Last year he signed for 2 years $10 million, $4.75 guaranteed. Why would 1 year $5 million be that far fetched?
*Plus, That contract had an extra $5 million in boosters as well: $1 million per year "playing time" booster, and $3 million "if they made the playoffs either year" booster.
Could've made $15 million over 2 years if he kept his job and got to the playoffs either year. Instead, they have the 1st pick...

Thank you, Buffalo

Please, let him go to Buffalo. Then when we see the $$ figure, we can start talking to Hoyer... who is not only better, but much younger as well...

simply because that was a FA contract following his one good year at Chicago and teams were bidding for him....
Now, he went 1-10 and has been cut just to avoid paying him the $5m......so Id think if he was $5m after his best season, then he'd be worth less after his worst season AND after getting chopped......call me crazy....
Bottom line.....5m a year would put him in the top 15 of all QB salaries....and to me that seems far fetched...

This year there is more demand and less supply for QBs in the FA market... It's all business. He still has teams bidding for him, based more on need than on his abilities. No reason he can't get the same money as he got last year, at least I can't blame the guy for trying... I just hope the Browns don't pay it...

Is there?
Last year there were 6 teams definitely looking for franchise QB's and a few teams possibly looking - Minnesota, Cleveland, Jacksonville, New York, Oakland and Buffalo all definitely needed a franchise QB. Tampa Bay and Tennessee were possibly in need of a franchise QB because they weren't sure of what they currently had.
Subtract Jacksonville, Oakland and Minnesota and add St. Louis and Washington and you're left with basically the exact same amount of teams looking for QB's this season.
This year two of those teams will likely get their QB in the draft.
Vick, Freeman and McCown were the big three of FA QB's last season. Those were the guys who could supposedly be lower-tier franchise level starting QB's. Mark Sanchez, Chad Henne, Matt Cassel and Shaun Hill were all Brian Hoyer-esque FA's last season - guys who could probably come in and play serviceably enough to not lose you some games.
This year we have players like Locker, Mallet, McCown, Davis, Hill and Hoyer.
All in all - it seems like this year's class is essentially the same. And that's not even factoring in the availability of Cutler, Bradford and Foles through trades.
Regardless, it's all immaterial since McCown is likely going to sign with Buffalo.

At this point at QB 1.Get in the Marriota and Foles Mix. Or 2.Resign Hoyer or Sign Cutler. or 3.Draft Hundley high Draft, Middle draft Petty, or low Draft Mannion (over 500 snaps UNDER CENTER) before or Greyson. 4. Leaves R. Mallet or Sanchez. And that S.C. GameCock Shaw is going to make them work for it...

doesn't josh mccown look like one of those kids who's mother used to warn him if he kept making that face it'd stick with him?
like the smoosh face against the glass.

Reports this morning he is headed for Buffalo. Source NFL Network TV reporting.
Truthfully he would be a liability. If you can't do shit with two of the very best huge receivers in the NFL, then you can't do shit period.
