    I don't see the need to bring in a backup unless McCown gets hurt.

    These guys will still be out there then.

    Except for the fact that you will need your backup in getting his work in the system. I am going to say that Hogan stays on the Taxi Squad. Anyone that saw Kessler play knows he is not ready. If MC goes down now, then only Kessler will be an active QB on the roster...then you would have to have Pryor be the backup.....which I don't think the Browns, you or I want.

    These guys may be out there....but they won't be able to be signed and ready to play in the second half of a game that McC gets injured in.

      Give Bellycheck any pick for the rights to Jimmy G as in Garoppolo & end the QB lottery in Cleveland. (like we know what to do with the pick anyhow) His job ends in Cleveland week 5 on Brady's Return & Brady will play till he's 50. Jimmy G. contract is 820K in 2017 when he will break the bank anyway. Yea, you knew this one was coming...Bark Away!!

        McCown with McCoy as the backup...then once McCoy gets hurt, we go with Hulk Hogan until he gets hurt and then we bring in one of those rejects to play. My bet is its one of those rejects we are watching in 8 weeks when the gang makes its annual pilgrimage to Cleveland.

        Good thing we didn't commit to paying a shitton of money for our tickets right??

          Stick with McCown! Not because they have any hopes to make the playoffs but because it will give Coleman & the offense experience for next year. As for McCarron, I wanted him last year; now not so much. McCown, Hogan & Kessler this year and draft a QB next year.

          Can we start a thread in a few weeks to see who's the best option coming out of college?

                    Again something like fantasy football when your QB1 goes down and you have an old experienced QB2 and nothing much else, check the FAs, out of footballs, CFLs, Arena ball, want ads, bars and realize you're pretty much screwed.

                    Time to get the kids ready and hope they all don't go down.

                    This happened decades back, remember QB4 (some good old guys) I think it was -but- the BROWNS had an experienced team around them......not now.

                              Seriously what's the difference?

                              If we are going oh and 16 who cares if it's a bum from the practice squad or a bum sitting on his couch?

                              Like mr. Z said if Josh goes down we can get any of these guys.

                              I have my doubts about cam Erving being able to play the center position and the center position is very important. We passed away a right tackle for no reason, and probably could have found a way to keep Mack.

                              It's unfortunate about RG3 because I think a quarterback needs time to get in rhythm with his wide receivers and that was going to be hard enough waiting for months 4 Gordon. Now that process starts all over.

                                Saw a great T-Shirt today on my facebook - brownie the elf and the caption:

                                "Cleveland Browns - putting the 0 and 16 in 2016"

                                Mik - if it's not too late to change the design...?!

                                  Just draft the anti-JM, slow, tall, muscular pocket passer. That would be Kelly. 😁

                                    I like Kelley. Reminds me a little bit of his old man and I'm always on board for Irish quarterbacks.

                                        Why sign anybody??!!....let the young guys play.....winning aint the goal, player development is.....

                                        Go with McCown, Kessler and Hogan and just call it a season.....

                                        Yep. At least they may get some game experience, who knows whether or not RG3 comes back, then work on the plan going forward.

                                        No matter what, I'm a Browns' Fan & will continue to be.

                                        Opal, please add my condolences for your loss.

                                          Kessler has potential... but it would be unwise to throw him into the wolves. If McCown goes down, sign someone like Josh Freeman. He wasn't that bad of a starter a few seasons ago.
