Browns Should Trade For Zach Mettenberger
-
I don't think they would make that move. I think they are really hoping Johnny is the QB of the future. Trading for Mettenberger is admitting that Johnny is not it.
That said, I think Mettenberger has more potential than Johnny and would not be opposed to the team making a move to get him.

Blah blah blah blah blah. If Mettenberger were considered a franchise type QB the Tits would never have drafted to replace him. You think he is going to turn into Brett Favre part deux?

I don't think anyone considers him to be some sort of reboot of Favre. They just think that he has more potential than Johnny and is a young guy with a big arm.

i posted earlier in another thread about mettenberger and savage......
was still wondering if farmer is surveying any type of QB moves. not that it's a necessity (for me) but a kid who will come in as the 3rd stringer and maybe be a diamond in the rough (ruff ruff)...

Oh, must have missed it. My bad.
If Shaw is shut down for the year, I wouldn't mind shelling out a mid round pick for a young guy with talent who hasn't put it together yet.

This is how I feel. Trading for another young guy is admitting to Johnny they don't believe in him. It's not the same as signing a journeyman veteran to guide Johnny.
But Mettenberger's arm and stature is very interesting to me. After this season, if Johnny doesn't look like he can do it and if we're not in a position to grab the top draft talent, I wouldn't mind it.

OK, maybe we can resign Charlie Frye or Brandon Weeden or Brady Quinn or Colt McCoy....someone thought they all had more potential than some think JOhnny has.
(maybe in some cases they were right)....I guess simply I am saying is that I see no reason....unless injury is a factor, that we should continue to try to go after more of some other team's schlock.

I wonder what it would take for the Browns to get Phillip Rivers.. I'm not the biggest Rivers fan.. But I think he would fit perfect in our offense.

I think rivers just recently signed a new contract with the chargers.

and also has a no trade clause....

This trading for Mett has been bandied around on numerous sites and sources, but it has no merit IMO.
Why on earth would the Tits trade a guy who has promise and started games for them last year (doing decent) when he only cost them a sixth rounder?
He gives them great insurance for Mariota and a guy with big arm upside.

Insurance can be had anywhere, and it's normally thought of as much better practice to have your backup have the same skillset as your starter.
If you had your franchise guy and a team came knocking, offering you a 4th or so for a guy you spent a 6th on...you'd probably be a fool to not take it.
Not that I'm encouraging us going for Mett, I think it would be detrimental to Johnny's potential growth. But there are plenty of better reasons why it doesn't make sense than the one you listed.

Tim, The Tits trotted out Charlie Whitehurst last year....quite a few times. Do you think they would risk doing that again to acquire a pick that is a little better than what they spent on a sixth last year?
Does the fact that many of our fans would love to have Mett convince the Tits that he is better with the Browns than the Tits?
Think about it. If a guy is good enough to trade for, why would the team want to trade him for nothing more than a fourth?
Also, what makes folks think Mett is a fit with Flip's system? His knock is limited mobility and the Browns have two mobile guys now.
On top of that, it would give us three QBs and two that are developmental who can't be stashed.

I do not think JF will get a fair shake, and if he just dont work out, well will be looking to add one high next year. Here is a list from Walterfootball's site.

Pretty awesome that most of the QB's are over 6'2" tall.

Fair shake?
Hey, remember that time we were the only team willing to throw a first round pick at him and he thanked us by going on a well publicized party tour, never learning the plays, never becoming part of the team and shitting the bed when he got a chance?
The problem is not that we are not giving guys a fair shake (Quinn, Weeds, Frye, McCoy) the problem is that we are drafting guys that can't start in this league.
That ball is in Johnny's court now. He already got a fair shake when we drafted him, handed him the job while in playoff contention, and brought him back after his wasted year. Rest is up to him.

Note that Cardale Jones will be available with the Browns' second-round pick in 2016.. because he's not going to win the starting QB job at OSU this year.
Barrett is better at running the OSU offense; his arm is only NFL-backup level, but he makes better decisions than Cardale.
So - even after we pick Cardale at the top of the second, he'll still need a year of seasoning behind JF.
