    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 . . .

    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......

  • Glennon or Foles???... Plan A??? Think BIGGER people... like getting to the Promised Land bigger.

    We need a chief & Glennon/Foles won't do.

    The idea IS NOT load up on QBs, as if we have another PLAN A - FA QB idea for 2015.... (and lets draft a QB too!)

    NOOOO... we're set & going with McCown, Manziel, and Shaw... they're PLAN A, leading to PAYDIRT: April ~15th, 2016.

  • Dude aint here to play QB, he's here to GROOM QB.

    We just added to our coaching staff (our player/coaching staff)

    He's here to keep the ship steady cuz 2015 can get crazy with the Johnny Show.

  • who doesn't like this signing?

    why don't you shut the fuck up?

    another member on the forum just to bitch and complain?

    this is tiresome already.

    if life is this bad for you because the browns signedd mccown then do us all a favor: pin a note on your shirt and go hang your self in the closet. at least someone at the end of the day going to hang up their coat will have some good news.

    This is one of the stupidest things I ever heard...

    I'm not thrilled with the signing, but I'll admit we could've done worse. I guess I'm a McCown fan all of a sudden... Yay...

    I'd still like to see us draft another QB like Petty or Hundley, but we are certainly not "tanking." This team is built to run the ball and play D. If McCown can limit his mistakes and pick up a few 1st downs we'll have a shot to improve on our 7-win season...
