      Josh McCown isn't going to win us games.. And we shouldn't want him to. The higher draft position we get, the better. That being said...

      We should be excited because Josh will give us a glimpse of what a "real" quarterback can do with our offense. And by real I mean one who can stand in the pocket and go through progressions. A QB who can change protections at the line and understand the opposing teams defense.

      Those are things RG3 struggled with. If he played there would've been some fun plays, but overall it would be inconsistent and frustrating, much like the opener.

      Be happy that We have more traditional pocket passer now, because now we will see what this offense more so will look like when we draft our QB #1 next year.

          If he can stay healthy behind that Oline, I think McCown could have some pretty good games. He will actually have more than one person who is over 6 ft. tall to throw the ball to which should help him out alot. Its hard to hit such small targets consistently and Barnidge aside, they were all midgets last year. Heres to hope!

          !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

            If,when & however the ball is released from Josh it's usually is in a catch-able radius of our receiver. As I watched Josh last season lay out Hartline,Gabe & Hawk walking into defenders. It sure would be nice to watch our WR's have more fight for the ball than the defenders. Go Drago Go!!

              My take. If Griffin still can't read a defense after 4 years and intensive off season training by Hue- He's never going to be able to do it. As Tour mentioned Griffin just takes too damn long to process what's going on. Most of his completions against the Eagles were dump offs. Add in, he has near zero pocket presence. Jackson puts Robert back in- it's just a matter of time before he get killed again.

                McC gives us our best chance... and this week that may even equate to a decent chance. But I have three concerns:

                1. The timing that McC depends upon to be successful won't be established with inexperienced WRs in a single week. In part I think Gabe was called up from the PS to be a familiar face come Sunday.
                2. We don't present a viable run threat to set up McC's PA game.
                3. Suggs is looking good and historically gives JT fits. He should eat Paztor alive. But on a brighter note, it's not looking like Dumervil will play.

                  1.That Gabe landed in Atlanta. PS Gabe plays DL from lions(don't blame you thou. Printed roster is no help either) 3.No WR Perriman either Shefty reports setback on leg

                        I said on Sunday Josh would give the rookies a chance to develop for next year. I also said he would win some games too. Now I can put Gary Barnidge back in my Fantasy Football lineup. McCown and Barnidge had a good game last year against the Ravens.

                        The Browns do not have to tank to draft a QB! They have 2 picks! Notre Dame & Clemson have QB's the "experts" are talking about but it's too early!

                        Browns 27

                        Ravens 21

                        DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

                          Is this like the tenth year in a row the Browns have started 3 different QBs. And we all know McCown is gonna hurt. Some sh*t always happens with the Browns. Kessler by Week 6. Possibly Hogan by Week 14.

                                    McC gives us our best chance... and this week that may even equate to a decent chance. But I have three concerns:

                                    1. In part I think Gabe was called up from the PS to be a familiar face come Sunday.
                                    2. But on a brighter note, it's not looking like Dumervil will play.

                                    1.That Gabe landed in Atlanta. PS Gabe plays DL from lions(don't blame you thou. Printed roster is no help either) 3.No WR Perriman either Shefty reports setback on leg

                                    lol.... thanks... Knew we waived WR "Gabe"; missed that ATL picked him up. Nevertheless should have been able to tell him from a 6'2, 284 lb. DE... 😉

                                      McCown has the respect of the players around him. dude is a leader. and he can beat the ravens, bank on it.

                                      it's our D i'm worried about.

                                      if you would have swapped mccown and fitzpatrick last yr team for team, mccown would have shined and fitzpatrick would have looked like shit...Mcownj is a good qb who played for the shitiest teams in the nfl...

                                        ill probably come back to the real world around week 7 or so. As a Browns fan week 2 is about blind hope and optimism, not being left to languish under the crippling weight of logic and reason.
