  • Great stuff! I knew nothing about Josh, not even after we signed him. Then at the start of camp, I saw my first interview with him and I came away really impressed... "A guy's guy" I called him on this forum.

    Then came the helicopter on the opening drive of the season, and I was all in, hook, line and sinker. The dude is tough as hell, wants to win and is a great leader of men. I hope he continues his outstanding play, for us fans obviously because that means we're winning, but honestly, for him too...... He deserves it.

  • I gave him a lot of crap a couple weeks ago...But hey.. I don't hate the guy.. so far.. so good... Gotta say he's slingin' the rock quite nicely..he reminds Me of Dolph Lundgren as "Drago"

    Im with you D....love his grit and hows he's playing right now.....surely didnt think he deserved all the crap he got after only one series and an injury......so very happy Pettine had the sense to stick to his guns....even while the world called for his AND Joshes heads....

    I hope the good streak continues......He definitely deserves it.....

  • I thought with his maturity - he'd surprise a lot of people..

    but McCown is like the perfect guy that they could have signed.

    I heard he threw for those three 300 yards games in a row...

    but 457 yards??? No int's? And what he says about the locker room

    says a whole lot - this team is on board, and they want to win badly.

    That's inspiring. Great read. Canton Mike told me last night - that when

    Gordon gets back - he NEEDS a qb like McCown around him to inspire him, too.

    We may end up with a great offense before we get a great defense. Who would have thunk it?

  • McCown is the AFC Player of the Week.

  • I like that he wants to be a Browns great...and that he didn't care in the slightest about the Johnny speed bump after week 2.

    And all it took was a 400-yard game on top of twin 300's to quiet the noise...

    Possibly, one of the "quietest" weeks we've had since the 2014 draft.......refreshing.....

  • That thread with the poll was terribly worded. I believe it said who do you want to be the QB long-term. McCown is the man.

  • Great signing by the team...Hope he plays the rest of the season because that means we're winning and in the hunt.

    Ya know- I was seriously bashing McCown- have to eat that batch of Crow. He's been playing really well- considering the pass blocking has been far from ideal, and an ineffective running game on top of it.

    Aaron Rodgers he's not. The next few weeks will tell where this team is going. I saw some serious improvement in the offense the second half of the Ravens game. But the realist in me says that was against a Ratbird defense that was decimated with injuries. (saw they brought in a couple new CBs, and put another on IR) I'll jump on the McCown bandwagon should we have a similar performance against Denver this Sunday- we haven't beaten the Donkeys in like forever.

    One thing for sure- McCown is a team first, class guy.

    Seriously. The Browns tweeted the photo earlier this afternoon.

    For some unknown reason, I'm unable to link the tweet from my iPad.

    They'll be part of the Pro Football Artifacts Archive.

  • I would never call a football player a 'hero'.

  • Hoyer and Benjamin have jerseys in Canton too from the Tennessee comeback last year.

    The reason McCown and Barnidge are going to Canton:

    "McCown was the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 450 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while also rushing for a touchdown. He also produced the greatest three game stretch in team history. He has thrown for 1,154 yards and six touchdowns in the past three games.

    Barnidge also recorded some team history. He is the first tight end since Ozzie Newsome in 1983 to have touchdown receptions in three straight games for the Browns."
