  • It's a good move by a desperate team. If something happened to Benjamin who do we have? Please don't say Hartline. Hartline can move the chains but two deep threats with Pryor is nice.

    Now we need to get a kicker. The whole world was laughing at us last night.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • I would have thought at this point of the season they would have been good with rolling with Manziel and Davis? Does anyone else think this could indicate a coming suspension for Johnny? I still think there is more going on behind the scenes than just they lying to the coach.

  • Don't think so jcam, but we shall see. Reality is we get more WR time with a prospect that intrigued us and our emergency QB to boot.

    Glad they recognized their blunder.. my issues are

    1) the poor/delusional inability to recognize talent - someone who still has a job asserted at some point that there was a beast within the dark recesses of Robert Turbin just waiting to be unleashed.

    2) Lack of development of the players they do have - outside of Gary Barnidge, name one person who's outperformed. Desir? Back of the DB pack. Solomon? Will be cut. Kruger? Please. Alex Mack? No.

    Maybe Meder?

    +1 good call TCPO. Meder maybe the defensive mvp this year. He'll never be a pro bowl caliber. But he is great depth and DOES HIS JOB.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

    As opposed to the whole world laughing at us for the last 15 years?

    Benjamin has exceeded expectations but Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, etc. he is not. If they had that "Josh Gordon" type to compliment him he would be closer to a TY Hilton.

    The only ones not laughing at this team are those too stubborn to admit the team stinks

    I have no issue with this signing.....though Im not really excited either.....

    My cynicism is taking over I think, cause no matter what happens with Pryor, it leaves me feeling like somethings really wrong....

    If he's great(which would be awesome).....then I wonder why the hell we cut him and kept the average to bad guys instead....

    And if he sucks....then why did we resign him, when we(and a bunch of other teams) already knew he wasnt good enough????....

    So....either way this goes.....it leaves me wondering(extra) about our personnel decisions.....

    None the less.....Im curious.....lets have a look.....

    i am with you on this. I feel something is really wrong..I'm wondering if they finally get rid of the 9 million dollar man in bowe. Christ, you wonder why this team is such a piece of shit and being made fun of on a daily basis. Good lord...

  • Good, they need to see him take the field and play.

    Bowe is worthless, doesn't give a crap, and Farmer was

    stupid to bait him with a 9 mill guarantee contract.

    Seriously, that was really, really dumb.

    Farmer is too arrogant and pompous to continue

    as GM next year.

    Yep, the 9mil$ man will create the 0mil$ GM by seasons end (hopefully).

  • the gm and coach get their entire contract money...working or fired.

  • There has to be a reason that no other team in the league wanted him. Hence I'm curious as to why some of you guys are so thrilled? Just the Homer aspect?

    Me thrilled? nope. Once again the Browns need another qb on the roster at season's end. At least he knows the system but other than that.....pfffft!

  • Pretty much everything Mud said about Pryor. I would label myself as "curious", and that's about it. I have zero expectations for the guy. Like other people have said, if he had promise, wouldn't somebody else who is desperate give him a shot? And the kicker is, didn't the Patriots check him out? If they let him go, then he's not good, LOL. (just kidding...kind of)

    Can he run decent routes? Does he get any separation? Can he actually catch the freaking ball? Does he play physically? He certainly looks like he COULD, but looks don't translate into being good. Ask Gilbert. Physically, that guy is elite. Unfortunately, it takes a lot more to be successful. I wonder if Pryor could operate in the middle of the field. Barnidge draws a little attention, and maybe that leaves a small void for Pryor against zone? I dunno...but my hopes certainly aren't up.

  • Has he ever returned kicks?

    With Gilbert concussed, I might let him practice on the kick team and see if he could do it.

    He knows the offense (at least he should, not the brightest bulb) so, that is a plus.

    You make a good point.......but "we" want him because he is tall and fast.......and there is a dearth of that among the Browns WR corps.

    And, sure....homerism as well.

    Question for all y'all: What former QBs have actually made the transition to WR? Anyone? I can think of the two Kent staters: Cribbs and Edelman.

    Who else?

    WTF, why not. But I don't see him as being as tough as Cribbs was to handle kickoffs.

    No.....I have maintained since preseason that they could use him as an all purpose player and two point specialist. Run/pass option....better than JMZ would be. He would be a much tougher runner....not like Cribbs, but tough enough for that.

    What do the Browns have to lose?
