  • Kruger starting over Ogbah. I find that interesting.

    My guess it's because Kruger is a vaguely serviceable starter and they don't want to just hand jobs to rookies. Though, they have at RT and WR1, so who knows.

    I think they probably just don't want to rush a guy in when they have an experienced starter ready to go, and can ease him in.

  • I'm rooting for him to be good

  • but McCown has the heart of a lion, and can play. He's even been a wr on occasion in the past.

    Having him in the locker room, is priceless. He's had ups and downs in his long career, but

    he has had some major highs.

    He plays, like we've seen, with reckless abandon if he runs, and has seen it all. He loves the

    challenge, has as much courage as any qb who ever played the game. His physical, kick ass play

    has gotten him injured. He's respected by the entire locker room. And while a backup qb...

    he is ready to go in at a moment's notice, and run with it. He's tough as nails. I'd love

    to see him be a coach if he wants to.

    There is NO addition by subtraction about McCown. You lose his leadership and his example of

    how to approach the game. And, last year McCown threw for just over 450 yards vs the ratbirds.

    Look at it this way - if RGIII gets hurt again, probably by an illegal blow to the knee after the play

    is well over, by the squealers... you do not want to play the rest of the season with Kessler, a rookie,

    or Davis, who I would trade to Dallas.

    I like mccown but he's not the answer for this team. He'll make a nice backup that's what his destiny is.

    Same can be said about RG3...

    I do agree Josh is not the answer, however, but only because this team is not ready to make the playoffs let alone contend for a championship now. McC will give some contender who loses their starter the best chance to keep winning. Until that situation develops, and it will develop, he's our back-up.

    And the full (preliminary) depth chart.

    - Pryor is listed as starting WR opposite Coleman.

    - Drango is starting RT

    - Xavier Cooper and John Hughes are the starting DEs

    - Campbell and Poyer are the safeties, unsurprisingly.

    - Cody Kessler is QB3 ahead of Austin Davis, probably means Davis won't be here in september.

    - Corey Coleman is listed as starting PR

    I was a little surprised that Poyer is ahead of Moore and a lot surprised that Drango Unchained is the man at right tackle already. Good for him.

  • Rg3 was the number 2 overall pick not too long ago. We owe it to ourselves to give him some game time and see if the geographical cure works for him. We've seen mccown bounce around enough to know that toxic situations aren't his problem. His problem is that he's a journeyman with journeyman level talent. Griffin has only played for one team and it's entirely possible that the situation just went bad.

  • Glad to see Cooper and Hughes are [finally] where I thought they'd be.. Starting DE.

    Nassib and Ogbah and Schobert are so far back? Especially.. Schobert behind Mingo?

    Scooby is 3rd string.. behind a Tuggle not named Jessie? Can't believe that will stay.

    Louis is the highest rookie WR not named Coleman.. interesting.

    Kindred over Desir? Interesting.. I thought Desir had better quickness.

    Mathews not the #2 center?

    Gotta love Telfer as the unexpected #2TE..

    I swear I'll punch something if the Browns carry a FB this year, neither of those guys are NFL players..

    Good thoughts, I think in the past Hue has used an H-back type of guy so maybe they will ditch the fullbacks and keep an extra guy listed as a TE.

    Has anyone that was watched the scrimmages noticed any FB action?

    Shon Coleman is still recovering from knee surgery... no? Taking it slow with him.

    He claims it feels great but the training staff could be exercising some caution.

  • Hope Josh stays right where he is for a few years. Dude is a great back up QB and vet.

    Love listening to guys bag on him, usually people that watch three games a year.

    He was in the top 5 of QB's at the beginning of the season last year when he was healthy throwing to a midget squad, before Mikey P. fed him through the meat grinder and he still refused to come out.

    Does he have a canon? No. Could be win a ton of games and keep you competitive? Yep.

    I feel like being competitive is often overlooked... Sure you want that Franchise QB some day, but what happens when you don't have one and you play like shit all year? The rest of the team is stagnant and nobody progresses. And you get to watch 4 different QB's a year...

    Giving Josh up for a 4th rounder that plays on the punt return team? Pass.

    The top 5 of QBs at the beginning of the season? How? He got injured on the first drive.

  • You Whiney ass fucks.

    What exactly did you expect? Jesus Christ himself isn't going to be a qb and it's that kind of a miracle to resserect this franchise. You bitch and moan about every qb then when you get one you act like he isn't deserving.

    Who else? Who else is or was available to win games for the Browns. Ok say you draft one...it hasn't worked since the 80's for you. Ok. Get a hot FA with hardly any games under their belt and overpay them. Ya ok.

    So RG3 comes in and you complain about the qb situation and McCown are you kidding me? He's hurt all the time too. Let the season play out because what your problem is ...you're so used to losing you count yourselves out before the game even starts, grow some balls and when something doesn't work out your way at least be accountable that you can't switch teams and root for a perineal loser.

    I like the Browns but this negative thinking is driving me nuts!

  • Whiney? Where? Just seeing evaluations... and not even very harsh ones.

    Apparently "you can't handle the truth."
