    Again it's shat sports ...

    Well their proofreading certainly is shat....

    The Browns are still searching for a franchise QB, but are only willing to five up a third-round pick for Kaepernick...

    Have to say that I do dread every time this thread pops up boldfaced...

  • Now that I see what our FO is doing - a full reset with younger players, I no longer am on the Kaepernick train...... It no longer makes any sense. Barring injury, Josh McCown will play equally as well as Kap, so there is absolutely no reason to throw a 3rd/4th round pick away.

    If Hue truly loves a QB, then we'll take him early in round 1, if he doesn't love a particular QB, then we'll go BPA and grab a QB later on. We need a boat load of young talent infused on this team, and this draft is critical on how long it takes to get competitive.

  • Interesting last paragraph in that article on chatsports:

    "Browns met with Connor Cook at Pro Day
    Cleveland is expected to take a quarterback - likely North Dakota State's Carson Wentz - with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, but it doesn't look like that will stop them from possibly drafting another QB later in the draft. One guy they seem to have their eye on is Michigan State's Connor Cook, who they met with after his Pro Day with the Spartans. He is projected to be a second round pick."

    I think they will see what is up with just about every QB that could go in the first four rounds. The new staff seems to be pretty busy as opposed to Farmer who didn't attend pro days. Must have been too busy burning $100 bills with Dwayne Bowe.

    We need to work on our timing... I'm actually drifting the other way.

    McC will not survive a season behind our diminished OL... he'll give his all, but he just won't. Kaep might have to set a QB rushing record, but he might survive.

    If Hue thinks he can return Kaep to his early form, 2016 would seem to be the ideal season to check it out. So if we are going pass on the top QBs in the draft, and Kaep becomes an UFA, then why not sign him?

    It's not my preferred route, but if it's Hue's, then at least we keep our pick. And McC lives to mentor another day...

    Honestly tho... if Kaep goes UFA, I do not see us winning a bidding war for him.

    HA! I can see your reasoning and it makes sense, but I'll throw another curve at you. If we do take a QB in say round 2-3, then I could see him starting by week 10, after Josh has given it his all and combined with the overall record of the team.

    Having Kap on the team may actually prolong our agony, if it wouldn't allow our young guy of the future to get some valuable starts.

  • Why would Kap want to give away his own 3rd round pick to San Fran if it would help him here in Cleveland? The only thing Mike Silver ever said that made damn good sense..

  • Now that "moneyball" is in Cleveland Kaepernick isn't coming to the Browns unless it's a bargain price with a backup plan. If any team gets Kaepernick he's going to fuck shit up on the books no one will want him. You can say salary kaep; not salary cap.

    And while I'm on the subject the whole moneyball thinking outside the box in gettin the most out of underpaid players explains why the free agents left and we get shit for players thus far.

  • Manziel just hired Drew Rosenhaus....lol

    I don't see a R2/3 QB that could start in 2016... It'd be Colt 2.0 with McC as Delhomme and Davis as Wallace...

    I hear ya. Drew has been such a guiding light to Josh Gordon's football career.

  • He should've gotten Bob Sugar on the phone.

    Hard to believe Drew would want him. Saw that, Maybe Johnny is figuring Rosenhaus is so good he can sell ice to the Eskimos- Edmonton, that is. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Browns executive VP of football operations Sashi Brown told a pack of local beat reporters on Monday at the Annual League Meeting that the team is not actively engaged in talks with the 49ers"and, at this point, we don't anticipate being engaged with San Francisco," per Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer.


    Brown added that Cleveland's interest in Kaepernick was "over-reported," saying that the Browns never decided on a draft pick or negotiated a reworked deal for the signal-caller who opened last season as San Francisco's starter but wound up benched for Blaine Gabbert.

    On to the RG3 rumors!

    Well....now I see that Sashi Brown is really becoming an NFL GM. He has learned to lie with the best of them.
