We need an experienced backup QB
-
Note....this thread could just as easily have been: Browns could trade for Kaepernick. Browns could trade for Geno Smith. Browns could trade for Mike Glennon.
All of these things were speculated in the article in the OP. Its just that Vick is the one guy that is a street free agent. (not the one guy....just the one mentioned in the article) The others would cost draft picks.....precious commodities to the boys from Hahvahd Yahd.
The article in the "Inquisitor" that goes on to suggest that you will be shocked to see what Honey Boo Boo looks like today?
You are wasting your time analyzing this, there is as good a chance of Honey Boo Boo suiting up for us as Vick.

So? What embarrassing punishment will you self impose if Vick is signed?
I say that you have to streak the tailgate in November.

Why punish everyone else?
... And your punishment for wasting our time with this when we don't sign him?

None....in fact, I get kudos and congratulations for keeping the debate flowing. And a cash honorarium would be good as well. You want to punish someone....punish the guy that started the thread.

why sign another qb when the season is lost anyways? crap talent at most positions. FO that has dumped everything (some good, some bad).
I say more "young talent" at most positions. Hopefully they will not turn out to be crap.
i say let all these guys take their lumps. fuck 'em. that's what we're paying this disgraceful shit-show for. then the QBs can go in the FO at the end of the season and beat the shit out of sushi and deport with their walkers and canes.
Again, I would rather that one guy sit out taking their lumps (QB) so that the other 7-8 young players can better learn.

Seems the Eagles threw Wentz right into the fray. Kessler has had more experience at a higher level. Plus now as the #1 backup he'll get some practice reps with the first team- Hue would be crazy not to. Pryor will probably be the emergency quarterback.

I'm with ya Mud
We already have a veteran on the roster Gip. His name is Josh McCown. Only should if he should get hurt I would say there's a FAINT chance we'd sign a veteran- and certainly not Vick. It's youth movement time- we threw Nassib, Ogbah, and Schobert to the wolves on D, got a strong feeling if McCown gets hurt, they'll do the same with Kessler and Hogan.
I think a QB is a whole different thing than a DE or LB. He is the leader of the offense. And I am talking about when McC goes down (it is literally a when, not an if). Kessler is not ready to barely take an NFL snap. He looked like a deer in the headlights.....against 3rd stringers...in preseason.

Ha- RG III was pretty close to that look- against the Eagles. If we're getting blown out- sit McCown, and put Kessler in- 4th quarter garbage time.

The Eagles are a far more experienced team than the Browns overall. Wentz is the only rookie starting for that team offense or defense, plus there are only 2 other second year starters...including Agholor.
Browns have 8-9 rookie and 2d year starters...and far more at backup roles.

If Kessler has any shot at being good longer term he would be ruined by actual game action this year. If you cant see that from the pre season not sure what to say. The game is way to fast for him at this point.

Mike Vick - Rumor that Browns are interested. I'll take Derek Anderson however.
Please say it ain't so.
http://www.inquisitr.com/3505277/nfl-rumors-cleveland-browns-could-sign-veteran-qb-michael-vick/
To spur on other discussion. I spent two years in North Carolina (just moved back to OH this past spring) and the fans of the Panthers loved Derek Anderson. Flame me all you want, but I would take Derek Anderson over any of the "floating" options out there right now. He's experienced and has an arm that could stretch the field and keep up with our receivers.

he stinks. after he lost to the 2 worst teams in the nfl by throwing pick 6 after pick 6 the yr we went 10-6 and did not make the playoffs, i want no part of him...my wife said he got the yips meaning the first half of that season he was dead on however somewhere during the 2 part of the season he kept overthrowing the ball 10 ft of the receivers head or throwing pick after pick and that was that...i remember it carrying over to the pro bowl also and then into the cardinal where he really stunk...

Browns must be kicking themselves and I'm 99% sure they go after the best QB in 2017 draft. Just got to watch more college football this year.

I don't know if they are kicking themselves. Sure Wentz looked good but its not like he beat the 85 Bears on Sunday. Goff can't even beat out Case Keenum and something called Sean Mannion and if you watched Hard Knocks on HBO, you can see why. The guy has never called a play in the huddle in his life. He has no idea what he's doing. Draft a guy number 1 overall and he can't even beat out a crappy Case Keenum? Time will tell if the Browns made the right choice so we will see. Hopefully one of these college guys separates himself from the pack for next year.

As long as it doesn't become 1st quarter garbage time, lol.
Seriously you want young guys to get experience but not get killed in a bad situation. Sitting out a year or more behind a quality QB is best.....if you've got one handy.

Here's what really scares me. Hue Jackson told the fans several times that everyone needed to "trust him" when it came to things like drafting Cody Kessler and knowing the QB position in particular. Adam Schefter is reporting that Hue Jackson and Browns management were all over Jared Goff, RG III, and Cody Kessler. The QB's that our anointed moneyball morons DIDN'T want anything to do with were Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz. Now, I don't need to be told that we've seen ONE GAME of this season. I realize this, and I am NOT saying that Dak and Carson are the second coming of Joe Montana. But...BUT...If we strike out on RG III and Kessler, and I'm putting in a guess that we did, our staff is in deep shit.

Prescott has been playing behind the best OL in football, and with an elite running back, and a superstar receiver. Oh, and the cowboys lost.
Wentz' only game has been against a team everyone expects to go 0-16, with a secondary made of cones and a pass rush reminiscent of johnny manziel's pro day.
Goff hasn't played a snap because he's being made to sit and learn, not because he's so terrible.
Can we just chill with the sky is falling bullshit already? Do you honestly think any rookie QB would really be able to come in to our team with its leaky protection, anaemic run game and tissue paper defence and elevate us to playoff contention?
