The Jets want to trade..... for McCown?!?

The Browns Board

  • McCown was brought in to be a lifestyle coach for lil' Johnny. While the failure of this effort was not on McC, it is a position that is no longer required.

    The only advantage McC holds over RG3 as the vet choice is that with McC there is no concern of an ego outbreak fueling tension at the position.

    I've heard it said that the vet qb will not be a mentor. He will play and the kid will be coached up...by a coach.

    This... Pep and Hue have no interest in a 3rd voice in their protégée's ear.

    On the other hand, RGIII may also need a lifestyle coach....not as badly as Voldemort, but still.

    But, A. RGIII may be that protoge and B. I still think it is better to learn to be a pro from a fellow player rather than a coach.

    Seems like a no lose thing. We trade off a 37 year old beat up qb for a younger and faster one. If RG3 recaptures some of his previous lightning, great! If not, he buys some time so that the new kid doesn't get killed. And there is no way in hell that they plan on starting a rookie qb. With the CBA forbidding much practice time, you just can't do it now. Now to see where Mcown ends up. I wish him well.

    What can we get from a 37 year old qb? Maybe a 6th?

    McCown could have won in Dallas last year. He definitely will find a job as a backup somewhere. Denver might be drafting Paxton Lynch: McCown could be a mentor there.

  • what i've seen of RG3 lately is someone who just doesn't give a fuck

    What I have seen of him lately is a guy that was told that his coach didn't like him and wasn't going to play him....and a guy that said "OK, I will keep my mouth shut and just wait until I can get out of here and go somewhere that a coach thinks I can play" As far as I am concerned, he acted professionally in that regard. (unlike some other recent vintage QB we know about). And now he may have found that guy in Hue Jackson.

    By the way....note for Zombo: How about we treat "he whose name shall not be mentioned" like Voldemort. Any time his name comes up...be it his actual name or like JFF or some such.....autocorrect it to Voldemort...or something you prefer.

    I mean, if you can do it with the word Retard, you can do it with him, no?

    I guess the Jets are only interested if the Browns release him outright.

    Harry Potter's dark evil wizard. If you say his name deatheaters would come to capture or kill you.

    And you are a nerd for NOT knowing it. Nerd.

    Typical Browns move lets get rid of a solid qb that bridge the gap between now and finding a real franchise qb and well will replace him with a washed up piece of shit and a shitty rookie and limp along for another 5 years or until the coach is fired the Browns are the poorest ran organization I have ever seen they are a joke and a laughing stock the people in the front office changed but the Philosophy is the same make sure they lose

    Yeah, no. I've got three little boys and you're still a nerd for saying this.

    You don't say his name, not because of deatheaters, but because it's gay as hell.

    That solid bridge quarterback (McCown) went 1-7 last year as a starter. I like to think just maybe we can do a tad better than that.

    As to the QBs in the 2016 draft- I'm not going to argue with you anymore.

    Whatever talent and ability McCown had he gave it all up for the Browns when he was here. If there was any player that "played like a Brown" he would be top on my list. If he doesn't remain with Cleveland I wish him the best wherever he goes.
