Why we should be excited that Josh McCown is starting

The Browns Board

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Here's to 0-16

    I'll be a goddamnedsonofabitch if I start praying for a high draft pick in week 2!

    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.
