    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.

    So... Tank, in other words?

    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.

    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.

    I'm wondering who he's going to teach, JFF or a QB coming out of the draft?

    Both

    Only if you're bringing the necessary ingredients for an old fashion.

    Just Rocks in this case . . .

  • If you don't face the truth of the matter, you live in LACK, DENIAL, ....and mediocrity (or less)

    The future is better with this move than any other likely option at QB in 2015

  • I got the 3.7 million from Wikipedia as he was listed as a Browns quarterback at 3.7 million per year.

    3.7 million a year for a 35 YO quarterback. What are they thinking. LOL

    Good deal?

    Good Deal ? ? ?

    LOL

    Give me a year or two or more on that one . . . 35 yr Old . . .

    Just wow . . . or as I initially accidentily typed SOS . . .

  • I got nothing personal against Hoyer... I love his character, his DNA. He makes Cleveland proud no matter what goes on between the lines... he is PURE Class. He was my QB in 2015; I was in his corner when he stepped between the lines. But another season of 6-8 wins with Hoyer is much worse than getting that all important top guy Apr 15th, 2016.

  • Naberius, do you by chance live in Stockton?

    👍

  • For anyone in denial:

    Tell me what was in your Crystal Ball for perennial success with our QB options in this 2015 offseason.

    You got nothin.... but you'll whine & whine another season going thru what we got to go thru to see the warm sun break on our face

  • Three years! A three year deal! Amazing! What do these guys do for an encore? How about signing his brother Luke to be the backup! A guy who's thirty-five and went 1-10 last year. Sure glad they're not raising ticket prices.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Stockton... nah - I live near Twinsburg

  • This "we signed McCown so we can land a top five pick" line of thinking is lunacy. If they want to shit down the side of their leg this year all they have to do is play Manziel.

  • I would not be surprised if the Browns are still trying to trade for Glennon or Foles. I think this McCown signing is all about having a plan B, and that the Browns are still working on plan A. Have faith, people.

    From our end, the rumor mill still has the Browns as an active Glennon suitor... Buffalo is a step above according to the rumor mill in the Glennon sweepstakes thanks to the Browns signing of McDilfer.. The FA market on QBs this yr is really sad considering the Browns just signed the crown or clown prince......
