  • I have a buddy who runs a Cleveland sports blog, and he said he's hearing the Browns are trying to send their two first rounders to San Diego for Rivers. Would you do it?

  • NO...

  • He also is on the wrong side of 30 for a QB that really has never won anything

    Im sure they wouldnt do it unless he was willing to agree to a long term deal

  • Nope.

    IN DORSEY I TRUST

  • How long-term of a deal do you want with a 33-yo QB?

    He is on the wrong side of 30 for a QB that hasn't won anything with a better offense (for the most part) then our current one and he would want a lot of money. Now if it was 33 year old Tom Brady or Peyton Manning I would take him but it isn't.....

  • The stupid rumors always involve the Browns one way or another. A CBS sports analyst has the Browns trading their 12, 43 and fifth round to Redskins for Mariota. That just doesn't make sense to mortgage the future on a rookie unproven and another past his prime. Even if all the Browns needed was a QB, I would still say no. Since last year we have lost TJ Ward, Skrine, Sheard, Cameron and Rubin not to mention Josh Gordon. Shouldn't the front office replace the players we have lost and build on the young talent we retained?

    Rivers would never agree to a deal with Cleveland thank God. He's not happy about the Chargers potential move to L.A. And would opt out in favor of playing on a team closer to his home. So that's how the rumor started with a potential mock trade with San Diego and Tenessee.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    If (which he wouldn't) but if he would sign a 4 or 5 year deal to play here I would certainly think about it. But it doesn't matter. He isn't coming here.

    He still has 3 or 4 years left. He's honestly underrated and the Chargers are not that good. He's the most passionate QB in the league, is like Dez Bryant almost too emotional in terms of wanting to win.

    You are right about hi being passionate, his "Mic'ed up" segments are so cool. But I guess I was referencing when he had in his prime Antonio Gates and LaDainan Tomlinson and they still didn't get much done

    I admit I don't know much about the Chargers, and perhaps he underachieved back then. But what he did 2 seasons ago was special. He was on fire and willed his team to the playoffs. Last year wasnt bad either

  • Isn't he about a top 8 QB? In response to an above poster, if we were only a QB away, I would definitely take him. And lots of people seem to think we basically are (of course no one's ever really just one player away but we're about as close as you get).

    He was ranked 10th in QBR last season., one spot ahead of Andrew Luck. So Top 10.

    An QB is the one position that can mask inadequacies. Just look at Luck with the Colts.

  • Carson Palmer went to the Raiders in a similar deal. That trade ended up being a bust. Even Joe Montana couldn't get the Chiefs to the promise land. Rivers has most likely peaked and hasn't won anything. Philip with his average arm playing in bad weather. Pass. No, run from this deal.
