  • What that tells me is that they made his contract so he is expendable after Year 1.

    It's what it took to get him here & I'm down with that. If I were GM, what's taken place here (with McCown) would've been my plan.

  • Go ram that hole in your wall again, "Zombo" ... you haven't since noon.

    ("She's" yer bitch alright! ... like you still brag to your 30+ yr old kids)

    Die thinkin' yer a champ, old man. Yet you never faced nothin' like me.

  • Another fuck climbs out of the woodwork.

  • gumby.... I don't watch Cabrera Cerbera play "Baseball"

    after post 29 comes post 30...and 31...and 32...and

    ...and still no S'ingTFU for you, sir. Get your Gumby outta yer Ass and quit sitting on him.

  • What "fuck" do you speak of, Self Respect?

    Well, that was easy.

    See ya, Troll.

  • Wait....

    that was a J-O-K-E. Because you have no self respect.

    It's rather obvious with all you've decided to deploy from you demented skull...

    i.e: Johnny Finger, TC Pulls Out, I fuk dolphins, behind you, (on&on)

    Where's your dignity? I got a feelin' it ain't lost... you never "had" it...

  • Well, that was fun while it lasted. Now back to the normal fucks.

  • Mccown is no good but what are the Browns other options?

    They didn't commit a ton of money and the cap hit is below your typical starting QB. They will probably take a project in the 2nd or 3rd round and we can hope they guess right and in 2016 or 2017 they have their guy.

    The tough thing will be watching Mccown as the starter next season and knowing that Manziel was a wasted first round pick.

  • yeah, life sucks.

    It is what it is. If drafting the next Peyton Manning was easy every team would have a great QB. Just gotta hope that they are able to find that guy. It is next to impossible to find a good free agent QB because if they were any good they wouldn't hit the market. Maybe Hundley or Grayson will be our franchise QB of the future.

  • as others have suggested, this rodeo is far from being over.

    OK then, Head back down to your Mother's Basement and have a nice day now.. I Checked on that gumby and that's not what I am sitting on, but it does Shoot... And you obviously do not know who Miguel Cabrera is. Wow what a sports fan you are..

    yippie yi yo kiaye!!! I might be movin' to Montana soon, just to raise me up a crop of dental floss. (Frank Zappa)

  • Well it did work for the Colts and they got Andrew Luck. And now the Bucs will get Winston. So there is a method to their madness. Starting Josh McCown is just what the doctor ordered. So here's hoping Cardale Jones stays healthy and Go Buckeyes!

  • I like the signing. Think it's a great move by Farmer. Takes all the pressure off and now the work of finding the real QB can begin. I can't explain what happened to Hoyer after 7-4 but he played like crap and I wouldn't sign him for what he's asking (money and being a starter). I think Hoyer employed a poorly thought-out strategy with the Browns and now he's gone. For his sake, I hope he signs a

    lucrative contract elsewhere but it think we will see McCowan flourish in Cleveland and Hoyer will struggle with his new team. I still anticipate a QB signing before the draft. I hope it's a trade for Bradford.

  • Im not so sure it's about McCown "coaching anyone up", as much as it's about having a veteran QB in the room who isn't a wedge between players,....and can act as a mentor to any young QB interested in learning....

    Does JFF "want" a mentor?....who knows......but he definitely needs one.....for both the field and life

    Sums it up for me. McCown is at the end of his career and while serviceable he's also looking to stay past his playing days. So he's more than happy to get a year or 2 of player money and show his chops at coaching QB's. Hoyer wants to start plain and simple. Browns don't see him as their future so turn the page. Same with the other FA QB's. They all expect a legit shot at starting and it ain't gona happen with us. Nobody has a clue how Manziel is gonna work out after rehab so expect a move for a QB in THIS draft. Farmer loves Hundley so if he's there (or close to there) in the 2nd that's your guy.

    And, as usual, the idea of a team tanking for next years draft is idiotic at best.

  • The team isn't looking to tank anything. Whoever holds that idea needs to stop.

    It's clear to me the brass is 100% behind Johnny as their QB. Nobody knows how that is going to end up, but I agree with the decision. We have to let that play out. It would be stupid not to at this point.

    McCown gives us a option if JM fails this year and have to seek a QB next draft. With that in mind, I could see us trading down again this year to secure more picks in the next draft. It is going to be harder to do. But if the right player falls, we might get some offers for our pick.

    I guess we'll see in a month or two.

    You could have made an attempt to sign someone who had potential for upside in his game. McCown doesn't offer that.

    Are there great options out there? Absolutely not. But McCown doesn't offer a decisive upgrade to what we had in Hoyer.

    This all but guarantees (at best) a similar QB situation to what we've been dealing with for years.

    Why wouldn't they take a stab at someone younger with a little upside to their game?
