Browns extend Austin Davis w 2 yr contract
-
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.

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.

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?
No shit. Davis seems like a reasonably qualified candidate with the ability to start for plenty of these teams. One does wonder why he was so readily and cheaply available. Or he wasn't and required a long term signing?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.

So, here's the odd part.....Browns "kind of" implied that Davis(agent) reached out to them...here's Pettines quote....
"I'm not going to speak specifically on contract issues,'' said Pettine, referring to the fact the team hasn't announced it yet. "But Austin, as I've been very clear with here, is a guy that we liked. A lot of times those windows will open up, sometimes at the request of the agent, and if the two sides are in agreement that there's a window of opportunity to get something done, then you move forward and get it done.
But then, Austin Davis says this.....
"I didn't really know that they were going to reach out to try to get something done,'' he said. "Honestly, I was just happy to have a job. And then things kind of went from there."
So, not that its a big deal, who reached out to who....but it seems odd to me that Pettine added that line in there about the agent reaching out.....kind of a deflection, me thinks.....not sure why tho....

Sounds like the Browns had made an inquiry at one time or another and possibly another one of Davis opportunities shut down so they called the Browns?
You do gotta wonder why he was on the street in the first place.

Interesting. About JM's height, can run, doesn't have a big arm..but smart.
Broke all? of Favre's records at S. Miss.
I think next year's Browns' draft will feature a 1st qb, and rounds 2-7
will be wr, lb, te, wr, lb, te..........
a lot like that.

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

The fans have wised up since- plenty of booing, I'd hazard a guess at.
What's bottlegate?
McCown to Pittsburgh makes sense. Would these teams ever deal with each other?
Since you missed it W................ Started over a very bad ref call in the 4th quarter. I was at the game.
Browns would never do a deal with the Steelers in season.

There's a few thousand $$$ laying on the field...
Not a major mitigating factor, but they were plastic bottles.

My suggestion, drink the beer and replace it with urine.
I was at that game and had played a late gig the night before got a little bit drunk so the next day I was drinking Diet Pepsi in a paper cup. Nothing worthwhile to throw.

The Refs got a golden shower as they tried to exit the field the first time, mostly beer- but I don't doubt there were other liquids tossed at them. I still can't believe the League office (considering the circumstances) didn't call a forfeit right then and there, but forced everyone back on the field to finish the game.

Tour- I was in the lower deck- the empty plastic tossed from the 500 level was of no concern- but quite a few "trucker bombs" were raining down from the upper deck- fortunately, no fans in my section got hit with those piss filled missiles.
