    Mccown makes a good back up and he is paid like one; so, unless the Jets are dumb enough to give us something better than a back-up QB, I think we should keep McCown.

    Actually yes. He has done more. Rookie of the year and for the most part better numbers. I'm not a fan of rg3 but it makes sense to bring him in. Even if it is for one season. Yes he's injury prone. But so is McCown. He sat out how many games last year? We don't pick up rg3 to mentor. Why is a career backup mentoring a rookie such a great idea to you? Serious question.

    i think it's more about durability. since returning to the league in '99, the Browns are something like 1/16 at making it through a season with 3 QBs or less...with a pretty decent O-line that has had multiple pro bowlers on it, Lecharles Bentley not included.

    do you follow the Browns closely? nearly 30 QBs in two decades is worth rolling the dice on an unproven RG3 healthwise, Shaw/Davis and a rookie?

    let me remind you the Browns are a Billion dollar franchise. not a swimming pool concession stand or a shift at a Lowes Home Improvement. a billion dollars. now imagine running a billion dollar company with millions of fans, employees with families, in a league where success directly translates to fame and huge financial reward. the QB is the most important position in American football.

    not doing everything is literally irresponsible. you can be a big risk taker on an X Box, preferably not on a team currently on a 50 year championship drought.

    for me, as a Browns fan when i hear you say the above it makes me imagine NASA going into space a man short with another having a cold.

    except this shit is real, and NASA isn't in space and is irrelevant to this discussion.

    billion dollar company...heading into the safari with no spare tire, even though you have a full size one on a rim already mounted on the truck, and you want to unbolt it and leave it behind to make room for more cannonfodder...no thank you.

    Mccown could teach a young qb tons of stuff, and set an outstanding

    example. And, I'd want him to stay on board with the Browns as an

    assistant qb coach.

    RGIII, I'd be happy if we don't sign him. He isn't a mentor, apparently not

    a leader in the locker room,

    What's strange, is that the Jets talked to RGIII, and did NOT sign him.

    And.......they want Mccown. Perhaps the Jets are better at analytics?

    One thing McCown can teach a younger player is how to be a pro. I have heard this from innumerable people from all sports. Yes, it is the coaches job to coach....but nearly all young talent needs their Crash Davis.

    why would young talent need an over the hill vet fucking their girlfriend?

  • 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.

    truth spoken.

    Hue has never been one...just saying.

    However, he has experience coaching up talent. McCown couldn't figure out how to get himself out of mediocrity.

    Oh I think he knows perfectly well how to do it, he just hasn't been able to convince a better team to pick him up.

    No reason he wouldn't be successful on a good team, maybe Denver.

    WHy the fuck would you want a loser, a guy who has never won a fucking thing polluting your rookie QB?

    Ah, I get it, so he could pick up the habits of a fucking loser and HIMSELF become one.

    no thanks. positive attitude, maturity, respect, punctuality, intelligence, talent, wisdom, focus, poise, toughness, desire/will/drive/ambition/determination, tenacity, great presence and heart are not words i use to describe losers.

    huge difference between the words "can't" and "haven't".

    here, one is an impossibility. the other simply has seldom occurred.

    fair, but i believe it was more timing, his surroundings, his particular situation,rather than lack of talent or ability as the culprits. i can't think of a better 3rd QB for the Browns as insurance down the stretch. i think i like him even better than a Hoyer backup. he and Tom Brady would make for an interesting QB room.

    how funny if Josh ends up following JFF to Denver.

    if it happened at least it's not moving to somewhere crazy bitter cold and dying, Denver is growing, clean, progressive, sunny -- off the field it's a definite positive. on the field they are returning SB Champs, there's definitely worse places to be.

    I would be pleased to see them both get to the Superbowl but lose, of course, to the Cleveland Browns.

    Because young talent doesn't know shit about being a pro. I will use your analogy: if you want to learn the proper, effective methods of having sex, do you call on 22 year old virgin....or a 37 year cougar that's been around a bit?
