Austin Davis named starter against Bungles...
-
HA!....funny you say that....because I was thinking Jerry could NOT turn down the prospect of Johnny AND Gordon as a package deal......both for his first rounder....
If just one works out....it still was a good deal.....
And Johnny would have Gordon and Dez to throw to......
Johnny throwing to Dez and Gordon. Wow...I would love to see that. Of course, I'd rather see it in CLEVELAND. LOL

I don't think Gordon is going anywhere. The Browns have invested too much in him to let him just go elsewhere now. If that move was going to be made I think it would have been made before this year began.

So what happens if Davis goes down to injury or absolutely caves against Cinn City the first half? JM? Pryor? Hell just give it to Bowe and let him at least run for his life since he doesn't appear to run for anything else.
I don't see him caving, as he looked way too prepared for that to happen. Getting hurt on the other hand is a real possibility while playing behind this offensive, offensive line (pun intended). If that were to happen, then Pet has no choice but to go with John.
Hopefully Austin gets rid of the ball on time and doesn't take any McCown type shots.

Do not speak ill of the #2 squad.

Here's the REAL bottom line..........................17 years into the comeback of the Browns, we STILL have NO QB!!!! I hope Davis turns into the next Peyton Manning. Would I put money on that? Ain't no way!! The more I hear from Pettine, the stupider he sounds. This "staff" is a JOKE!!! Fire em ALL!

I do think a "Final Decision" has to be made on Johnny.....but they do need to see him play.
Im thinking they've basically made that decision already.....Id guesstimate its an 80-90% chance that he's gone before next season
You know, no matter how well Johnny plays, I think this admin doesnt have any faith in him going forward or any trust that he will change.....and its pretty clear they dont like him "as is".....how can 2 years of screwing up, suddenly be washed away in a few weeks???
with 5 games to go Pettine has this time to decide if we need to go for another franchise QB in the Draft.
Im thinking its Austin Davis who gets those 5 games to show he can be that guy.....kinda looks that way, at least.....
If Johnny ends up playing....Id say its more of a showcase for other teams, than it is a test to see if he's our guy
More likely a vindictive Mike PEttine putso him in after the team has completely imploded with no chance for success.If Johnny ends up playing....Id say its more of a showcase for other teams, than it is a test to see if he's our guy
A loss in Cincinnati means plenty more more able players will go on the IR with phantom injuries.
Let him lose a couple games and the coach can feel vindicated.
Only possible bright spot is if the defense steps up for the last few games.
That might show that at least some players haven't been lost by the coach.

There was an article, just yesterday, on NFL.com that is now gone.....POOF!.....which makes me go hmmmmm....
In it, Jones was lamenting the fact that they have not added a QB to develop behind Romo, then went on to say that they need to add someone......and he mentioned that that guy could have been Johnny, had they picked him in 2014...
THEN.....he went on to say that it was possible to add a first round guy, but not pay anywhere near a first round pick......like they did with Weeden.....sooooo, who could this "cheap" first round guy be????
Jerrah's statements may have been construed as tampering with a player that is signed with another team.
But, honestly....does anyone mind the tampering?

i said a few days ago that lil chonnie is going to dallas. If not now, during the offseason. He does not want to play in cleveland...

Its official....Davis starts this week.....
Start the cheering and whining....depending on your inclination....
I'm fine with this...why not. He looked ok Monday night in the little bit that I saw. But to me...it shows that for all the "this is a week to week thing" and "Johnny isn't done in Cleveland" stuff they're saying to the media. Johnny should get pretty comfy in the doghouse because that's where he's staying the rest of the year and I don't see any way he's back in Cleveland with Pettine as coach. It's possible they're both gone but if Pettine stays...Johnny is playing elsewhere next year.

He looked good against a depleted defense and a defense that probably did not prepare for him that well. We will see. But i am with you, there is no future here for the chonnie manziel and I like davis. We can only hope pettine likes him to. Got to start over again somewhere...

I was somewhat impressed with the guy until he started the Manziel imitation after the TD, and then sliding way too early and not getting out of bounds (and probably could have gone another 3-5yds up the sideline) was pretty pathetic. If he was a rookie I would have maybe understood, but 2 or 3 yrs in the league, pretty stupid.
Also, why the hell are they paying this guy $4 million for the next 2 yrs.? For god sake he was brought in as a 3rd string QB. They were saying during the game last night, that most teams don't even dress 3 QB's for a game. Wasn't he coaching a high school team when they picked him up(or was he just cut by the Rams)? Just another dumbass move by an incompetent FO.

they paid him that much because they already have the mindset that manziel is a gonner. That is my thinking and yes we have a fucked up FO.

love the decision on Austin. But why do you tell your opponent " Ok wrap that shit on making JM beat us from the pocket & lets get the A. Davis tapes out". Pet clearly is troublesome with game strategy or is truly still pist at one Manziel? 2 QB's will be active Sunday & that's the time to tell your division team. Just a opinion.

The Davis fanboys thread. Very nice.
Give em hell, Austin.

Here's Pettines quote......sounds reasonable to me....
Austin took advantage of his opportunity on Monday night. He was prepared, played well and put us in position to win,” Pettine said. “He’s been great in the quarterback room all season and he has earned the right to start on Sunday. We expect him to play well.”

This didn't apply after week 2 though. #PettineLogic

I don't think we have any Davis fanboys since I can't imagine anyone joined this board just because of Austin Davis being a Browns player. The same can't be said of young Johnny....

Week 2 was different...it was still early in the season and the starter shouldn't typically lose his job due to injury. And still.....we've seen all season it doesn't matter who plays QB for this team.....almost every week its the defense that loses the game.

Oh please, I've been around long enough to know that anybody that roots for a quarterback that somebody doesn't like is immediately called a faggot.I don't think we have any Davis fanboys since I can't imagine anyone joined this board just because of Austin Davis being a Browns player.

I suppose you could be right. Can we just get a QB that wins for christs sake?
