  • To me, the most interesting thing that has happened is that Austin was extended a week before Farmer's "scheduled return". They sure do like to stir up the speculation pot around here, hunh?

    We'll see what happens.

    Hey Mike....dont know if you're listening to the radio, but that pot is really being stirred hard right now.....

    Not only was he extended a week early(and when he was already signed for the whole year).....he is now the first QB to EVER be extended before even throwing a pass or playing in a game....first everrrr.....and the first 3rd stringer ever to get a 2 yr extension....sooo.....it IS an extraordinary signing..

    And I also am now hearing there might be 800k guaranteed.....

    Pat McManamon was just on and he's thinking somethings about to happen too.....and he's one of the few that I trust and know is close to the situation....

  • So is the theory that Farmer orchestrated all this or that the current GM is going rogue?

    To feed speculation, please note, from my post above......Farmer's "scheduled return".

    Who knows?

  • I would speculate that if they trade Manziel this week the next home game will put Bottlegate to shame.

  • With Jets, Texans, Dallas, Skins & Bears in QB need I find it odd that A. Davis Agent went to Browns to extend deal. Tells me A. Davis Agent maybe getting some calls on deals on who he represents? Done deal now? Only QB Josh maybe better than is Clausen at Bears again?

  • Is Josh practicing this week? Maybe that swollen hand is worse than they are letting on.

  • What's bottlegate?

    McCown to Pittsburgh makes sense. Would these teams ever deal with each other?

  • Josh practiced, hand fine. Bottle gate than straight to "JM Fan Rehab" sure we can 3 Topic it 😉 Ben will be back, not happening there.

  • Trade McClown. Fire Pettine and Farmer. Let JFF play out the season, and lets win some fucking games.

  • Actually the more reasonable speculation with a move this big is that: a. The Browns don't dare consult Farmer while he is suspended and b. this is a major decision not involving someone about to be fired not named Manziel. Really what has he done?

    @TonyGrossi if Ray Farmer is suspended, who signed Austin Davis? How has no one asked this?

    Bill Kuharich Executive Chief of Staff Morocco Brown VP Player Personnel Dan Saganey Manager, Pro Personnel Brian Decker Player Personnel Strategist Ken Kovash Director, Football Research/Player Personnel

    I'm sure Farmer trusted Kuharich and his assistants to make any personal moves they deemed necessary in his absence, and said as much before he got shoved out the door to watch Sunday Ticket at home. .

    If Farmer was going to be fired, why wasn't it done pre-suspension? Only thing that makes sense would be if Pet got in Jimmah's ear big-time as soon as Farmer hit the door... and I don't see that in Pet.

    Edit: Or has Farmer violated the terms of his suspension?

    As others intimated, it's the timing that's perplexing. Hard to see the urgency around a one-year extension of a third-string QB that could not wait a week.

    I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope its the "good"!!!!!!!

    I honestly see both scenarios as "good"... the only bad would be the current, perpetual state of limbo.

    I predicted Austin Davis would be the starter eventually. I think Manziel will be a Dallas Cowboy and that's the reason they're not playing him. They need to get Davis familiar with the system and then watch. A trade is coming. Same thing they did with Richardson before trading him. It's obvious.

    Manziel will be a Cowboy

    Since 99 the Browns have started the 3rd stringer like 75 times. And some seasons had to go 4 deep. This prediction was not a long shot by any stretch.

    Since the merger the Browns have had to start 3 or more different QBs in each of these seasons:

    1970

    1975

    1977

    1987

    1988--4

    1992

    1993

    2000

    2004

    2008--4

    2010

    2013

    2014

    Only in one season before 1970 did they have to start 3: 1956

    That is 13 seasons with 3 or more QBs starting.

    FYI....there have only been 9 seasons where just 1 QB started every game since 1970:

    Phipps 1 year

    Sipe 4 years

    Bernie 3 years

    Couch 1 year.

    The Browns have not had a single QB start every game since 2001 where Couch started all games his one time.

  • While the decision making of the organization has been poor at best if the talent evaluators believe he is better than Johnny or Josh then you make the move.
