lol... I believe the term you were looking for was "wounded duck". In the future try to keep political cliches out of your football discussions.

HMMM both ducks seem to be appropriate eh?

Talked with a huge Dolphins fan I know, he said the best signing for Cleveland so far is Hartline. Said that the dude is a beast and he was pissed the Dolphins let him go and is one of the most underrated receivers in the league

Hartline has always been of those guys when you throw it where it should be, he catches it. Now it's just a matter of hopefully finding/having the QB who throws it where it should be...

I called for them to sign him when he was a free agent last time.

You could say Hoyer has a pretty lame arm... on the NFL level.

That's surprising. That's awfully franchise friendly if Gordon comes back and decides to play football.

16th highest WR contract? Gross.

So? They have the money to spend, and they have to spend a % based on NFL rules. I'm not saying they should just throw money around, but this contract is fine.

[RoyceRolls]

well it certainly isn't a big deal, but the fact remains: we overpaid for a WR on the wrong side of 30.

The receivers didn't have any. Charles, Davis, Kelce, and Fasano had plenty.

[Unsympathetic]

The receivers at KC didn't have any because they were terrible - and because the QB was Alex Smith.

All Bowe does is drop passes and not run actual routes.

Bowe is not a good player.. he'll simply slack off and pocket the cash. and for the record, the cash is the same value as Percy Harvin - but for an additional year. Bowe is not and will never be Percy Harvin.. Harvin has actual talent. [Harvin 1yr/$6, Bowe 2/$12] Even Stevie Johnson [3/$10] is more talented for less money.

Should have signed Matt Moore and/or Christian Ponder instead of McCown.. those 2 are each better and younger than McCown.

[tiamat63]

Conversely, Percy has talent but is nothing short of a head case.

So choose to shoot yourself in the head or the chest between the two.

[Tour2ma]

... and as for the younger back ups since none are our long term QB what difference does their age make?
