We need an experienced backup QB

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.

Cant say we didnt see this coming.....cough cough...
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.

While I don't necessarily agree with it, that would be at least consistent with the plan that they have for the rest of the team.

You mean Chad Kelly...of Ole Miss is Jim Kelly's nephew? Did not know that.

But what about "morale"??? If we don't add a career back-up that is sitting at home by the phone players will become sad...

The only way morale gets boosted is if the Browns sign Peyton Manning and he arrives in Cleveland via a Papa Johns funded time machine..... Oh yea, that'd get the inmates stoked alright.

I hear Manziel might be available.

I'd be against signing an experienced back up. Now if McCown goes down, then yes, get somebody in here.

Why then but not now? It doesn't make sense. If you want someone with experience in at QB, then you get him now to go in immediately upon an injury happening and not wait for the week after the injury. You get him in now to work in practice with the receivers etc.....not give him a rush job to start a game only after 2-3 days of being on the team.
If the plan were to be to have the rookies be the QBs of this team....then don't sign a vet at all. You either sign that vet now or not at all.

I heard he was down on the street giving Jimmy advice on the 2017 QB pick.

Well not exactly. He registered back at school which he will take on line while living in Lost Angels. So nothing has changed except the opportunity to get more incompletions.

Because I'd rather let Kessler and Hogan get more reps in practice. They have a degree of upside, where guys like Josh Freeman have flopped already.
We've seen this too many times already. Outside of 1988, when we used 4 QBs, every other time we use 3 QBs in a season, it's a lost cause.

NFL Network described the Browns FO as having an 18 at the blackjack tables and tries to get a 3 dealt for 21. Just plain stupid for leaving a franchise QB on the table for unknowns later.
And they mentioned Wentz going 8 for 8 when blitzed.
