Browns sign Josh McCown to 3 year contract

I'm hoping this strategy is their plan "B".
What's plan a?

To attempt to win with McCown at QB.

I hope you are right.
Me, too...
The guy can play fake really well, easily as well as Brian, which was the best part of Hoyer's game.

Not that I hate him .... but he aint running the (same) offense as Johnny Manziel.
Presumes Johnny ran an offense?
Seriously, it is not as if Shanny did the kid many favors staying so much with the Pistol as he did in Cinci 1.2. Especially when you consider how good he looked bootlegging v the Bills a couple weeks earlier.
IMO if Johnny is going to make it in this league, then he is going to have to learn to play under center. Ditto for any other QB this side of Philly (or the other side for that matter).
And now we have Josh to teach JM and whomever else is sitting in class.

Yeah, that plan got the Bucs the #1 pick..

The idea is position for the QB of our bright future in the 2016 Draft... just from the B1G... our quarter of the country... top NFL prospects like MSU's Connor Cook, PSU's Christian Hackenberg, and Ohio State's 12 Gauge.
What is hard to understand about that? It is wise.

Newby here, lurker for over a year. Browns fan for several years. This McCown signing got my attention. 3.7 million a year for a 35 YO quarterback. What are they thinking. LOL

What makes you think Johnny can't make it in this league???
j/k!

Ironically saw sideline footage of McCown interacting with Warner on the ARZ sideline today on NFL Network the season they marched to the Super Bowl. Josh McCown is going to earn his contract mostly as a tutor... and he's a good one. He communicated very well with Warner, as his understudy - I witnessed evidence of that during 'A Football Life - Kurt Warner'.
Think about it: McCown's been around the league his share & gone through plenty of offenses, scheme, & regime changes.
He'll be helping keep the ship steady behind the scenes... a valuable signing.
I'd like to see more Connor Shaw & Manziel in 2015, so we know how they respond to more game time going forward into the 2016 Draft.
This was actually the RIGHT move for our future, which is coming in the top 5 pick range in 2016.

I think he can, If he really wants to. We will know next fall.

3.7M/year..... that figure has got to change a lot based on playing time. Got to.
If he goes 16 starts and gets killed in 2015, he earned his $3.7M
But, there's no way we committed to pay McCown $3.7M in 2017 with no starts. No way.

So... Tank, in other words?

All warm and fuzzy now..... Thanks

See it as an addition to the coaching staff, and a stabling presence.
I swear it's not a bad signing & was the best move.
Imagine Hoyer back at 3 years/$18M.... and we win 7 games again and miss out on the top 3 QBs drafted in 2016.
We're much better off lookin' for bright spots & improvements another season while actually getting a franchise QB with a top pick in the 2016 Draft.... see that our ceiling afterward in 2016+ is HIGHER...
-
If you call playin' a season with Manziel, Connor Shaw, and Josh McCown "tanking," then that is what you do for glory in April 2016 & beyond.

c'mon man, mccown IS a step up from hoyer given the age difference and injury history.
i don't blame hoyer for wanting out after what he had to deal with the whole JF fiasco last year.
this browns org is showing me more promise every day moving forward as they weren't going to let an old/getting older journeyman backup (who played great for us for ......let's say 10 games) dictate the future of this team.
don't like it here, GTFO.
and to say we'll can it for cardale is laughable as i've noted in past posts. you really think donte whitner, JT, haden and bitonio etc. who are here to win are just going to lay down?
another GTFO.

What kind of drugs you on today ?

BothI'm wondering who he's going to teach, JFF or a QB coming out of the draft?
Care to share?
Only if you're bringing the necessary ingredients for an old fashion.
