Goff Or Lynch @2?
-
Neither were Brady Quinn, Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell, Charlie Frye, Josh McCown, Connor Shaw, Austin Davis or anybody else. Now shall we hearken back to the words of wisdom of Frank Morgan in The Wizard of Oz when he said : "But they've got one thing you haven't got; a price tag of the second pick of the NFL Draft!"

That true, none of them were shits like Manziel. All good Cleveland Browns.
Nonetheless they aren't/weren't good enough.
And if you don't have a franchise QB ... you need one.
So try again.

Hey I don't care about trying again. I care about putting a team together that's competitive with a middle-of-the-road quarterback.

Like you said, it's January, and things won't get really ramped up until later. The draft completely changes every year during this time, and this year probably won't be any different. Remember when Teddy was the #1 pick forever, had a bad pro day, and fell all the way down? Btw, we didn't want him, despite being touted as the most "pro ready" prospect by many. His slight frame and poor pro day scared people off, and while he's not blowing the doors off the league, he's proven to be a tough competitor and should've had his first playoff victory (remember the playoffs? Yeah...me either).
It'll be interesting to see what QB shoots up the board out of nowhere, as it happens often. Maybe a guy like Wentz gets hot, or somebody else. Point is, people rise and fall this time of year, and it probably won't be different in 2016. However, if our franchise falls in love with a guy, I won't have a problem with going QB. As long as we're not reaching to draft a QB just to have one.

If middle of the road means a guy that will become one of the top 16 QBs in the world, then I'm in. Top 10 would be great.
This year's final 8 teams are QB'd by Brady, Manning, Ben, Alex Smith, Cam, Palmer, Wilson and Rodgers.
So get me a guy like that. Because I'd like to be one of those final eight teams.
Top Ten Defense plus Top 10 QB ... you are pretty much in the playoffs every year.
So keep trying for that QB. McCown is old and nobody else on the roster is starter material.

As you know I believe very strong team coupled with continuity makes for a great quarterback. I don't think Alex Smith has ever been a great quarterback, he looks good because he's on a good team.
I believe that had McCown started his career on a good team and stayed there for a long while he'd be in that Elite category.
Put any of those guys on a shitty team and reshuffled the deck every two years and we'd be calling them career backups today.

Does a Brady Quinn or Brandon Weeden become a star with the Bengals and take them to the playoffs five straight years?
I lean more toward we have drafted shitty QBs than our shitty team has ruined QBs.

A bit of both.

Evidenced by what they did after they left here: Squadoosh. I mean, it took both Weeden and Hoyer to get the Texans into the playoffs.....and they really went there in spite of them instead of because of them.

Texans are a team with a legit WR, good RB, and a top D, and Hoyer/Weeden took them to the playoffs. We weren't far behind in the run game last year, but the D and the receiving game let us down.

That's all anyone needs to know. The Browns will buy it from there and waste another pick on an "ok" QB who gets us hyped up to take him instead of BPA.
"Hide behind the chainsaws" fools us every f'n time.
I'd agree with you except for the fact that Goff isn't "ok." That was Brandon Weeden, Johnny Manziel, Colt McCoy, Brady Quinn, Luke McCown.
The thing about those guys is - everybody knew they were "ok" (or bad) except for us on draft day. Everybody else knew what we didn't. (Ok, McCoy and McCown were fine wagers with low picks - but the others were not first-round quality and everybody knew it)
Weeden was going to fall well into the 2nd round, but we're dumb and liked him when no other team did. Manziel was slated to fall further than every other top QB prospect (Bortles/Bridgewater/Carr/Garrapolo may have ALL been taken before Johnny except for the fact that we're a bunch of idiots who ignore scouting reports for text messages), Quinn was regarded among the best in a crappy QB class - and everybody was surprised when he kept falling, falling, and falling. Then the dumbass Browns took him after it was apparent nobody wanted him.
You don't pass on a franchise QB for a DE - just doesn't happen, Goff will be a franchise QB somewhere.
And the DE we're talking about isn't JJ Watt here. It's so much easier to draft every other position than it is to draft a franchise QB, so we won't pass up on the one that's sitting on top of everybody's draft board.

Agree... Goff's floor is franchise level... book it. I can't remember the last draft when I said that of a QB prospect. (Luck? Yes, but I thought his floor was higher than "franchise".) Draft position is all about odds and Goff rings the bell.
But even that is not enough to take him top five or even top ten. What makes him Top Two is he has upside... he is franchise-plus.
Here's his DraftBreakdown page with six-2015 games. For those who would pass on him... spend some time... see for yourselves... if you have not already.

I've had same opinion as bbedward for a while now, I think he's the best prospect since luck, everyone is entitled their own.

Quinn yes, Weeden no.
Andy Dalton isn't transcendent talent. He's a smart, accurate QB with some balls on him surrounded by some talented players and coached by a smart coach.
I'd venture that 14-18 active QB's could do the same there.

I wouldn't pass on him because of a lack of talent.
The only reason I would pass on him is because I believe Wentz has the same upside, with a little lower of a floor, and that we could get Wentz with our second round pick - freeing up #2 for someone else.
That's not saying I would pass on him - I just see two scenarios that are beneficial for us in this moment.

Can't argue with that as I have not looked hard at Wentz yet.

I'm not so sure. If we pass on Goff Jerry Jones might do something silly (and taking Goff), but I could see Wentz surpassing Lynch.
I could see Wentz going by #15 to the Rams, but also see him going no later than #22 to the Texans.
Would we really want to trade up to #22 to draft a quarterback?
