If McCown Starts week 1 Im not watching the Browns
-
The Browns are going to have a lot of talent going into this season. Pettine is focused on having the Browns being one of the elite defenses in the league and I think he will do it. Shelton is exactly what the defense needed up front. They just added more depth to a great offensive line with Erving.
There were some factors in McCown doing badly last season with Tampa such as losing their offensive coordinator due to health problems right as the season started and lack of talent with the Buccs. McCown took a beating as quarterback with Tampa but he will now have one of the best offensive lines in the league with the Browns. The numbers the year before with McCown were much different when he was with the Bears. McCown ended the 2013 season completing 66.8 of his passes for 1,829 yards with 13 touchdowns, one interception and a 109.0 passer rating, the third highest behind Peyton Manning and Nick Foles the best in Bears history. The Browns needed insurance in case Manziel does not work out and they did well getting McCown to fill the role of mentoring Manziel as well as being ready to start if need be. Pettine is going to play the quarterback that gives the Browns the best chance to win and if he chooses McCown over Manziel I will support that decision.

I live in Tampa so I will have to buy a sports package to watch. But I love defense and think the Browns are going to pound the ball no matter who is quarterback.
I don't expect much from the offense with Bowe and Hartline but the running game might just be awesome.

Why is everyone hating on McCown so much.
Yup... when he had a run game in Chicago... and he's going to have one here.
I think JFF will start.
Regular season game 1? I'll take some of that...
"Should have started McCown, Manziel was clearly not ready. If he starts another game I'm not watching"
lol.... I love British humour...

McCown won't do any worse than Hoyer... I'd like to see what Johnny can do though...

McCown will be just fine if you don't ask him to do to much.. He won't win the division for you, but he's the Brown's best option. I grew up a Browns fan, relocated in the early 70s and became a Bucs fan at their inception. So, I've seen plenty of bad QBs
McCown last yr was amongst the worst I've seen.. The easy way out is to blame the Bucs Oline and that does have some merit to it. But at some point in time in every play you have to know what your O line is and have a clock in your head that says "GET RID OF THE FUCKING BALL"!!!! McCown, from what I watched last yr does not seem to possess such a clock in his head. Too many times he thought he was "The Rapist"(allegedly) and tried to extend plays.. This usually resulted in some very Dilferesque fuckups that led to 6 points, the wrong way... He had a front court to throw to in VJ 6'5, Evans 6'5 and ASJ 6'7 but never seemed to figure it out.
I like McCown, I really do.. Good locker room guy.. He will be just fine if not asked to win games for the Browns but he's not the answer.. Unfortunately neither is JFB

Id rather watch McCown than see Brandon Weeden try to wedge the ball in the DTs face mask every play.
