I thought this was going to be for the whole NFL, sure looks like it
Oh my two FL teams QBs Newton, Palmer both concussions.
Right, well if you include the entire NFL....what other QBs are missing from action....from injury (don't count Brady).
Palmer
Simian
Romo
Bridgewater
(is Cutler out due to injury...or just suckage?)
Newton
Garropolo
So....correct me if I am wrong....the entire rest of the NFL has had 6 QBs get knocked out some by injury....and the Browns have 3.
Accurate?

One of these things (Bridgewater) is not like the others...
One to add is the Pats' Brissett who is now on IR.

How does McCown practice? If he has a fractured collar bone and RG3 has a fractured collar bone how does one differ from the other? Why would any head coach put Josh McCown in a game? Do they not realize the next hit could be his last? I think they need to make a trade for offensive line help before someone gets killed.
DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD! -

RG3's injury was not to his collar bone. It was a broken bone in his shoulder.

Mccown has he balls of an elephant. When he says he would play unless his arm literally fell off he means it. It's great to have that mentality mentoring Kessler through this.How does McCown practice? If he has a fractured collar bone and RG3 has a fractured collar bone how does one differ from the other?

I read the Browns added OL Johnathon Cooper off waivers. He was a first round pick by Arizona in 2013 before being traded to New England. Is he any good?

Two teams got rid of him. He is questionable, but perhaps he is to be a replacement for Reiter Dairy.

He was claimed off waivers, so that should be a clue he's not going to come in and save the OL. He's also on his third team after being dumped by two very good ones in AZ and NE. He's also from *that* draft class, 2013, the worst by some distance in recent memory. The same draft class that produced top picks like Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel, Dion Jordan, Mingo, and a whole laundry list of underachievers.

Depth chart put Cooper behind Bailey at RG. Got a court calendar date on Bailey?
Roger might? It's Hogan or OL, if Erving can't go imo, to fill last spot to 53. -
It's interesting that we will appear to have both McCown and Kessler healthy enough to play this week. Pending any unexpected injury announcements, both Kessler and McCown will suit up for us, and that's incredible considering many of us probably thought Kessler broke his collarbone and would be out for a significant amount of time. I'd love to tell you that this season is about fighting for a playoff spot, but in reality, it's all about evaluating our young players and trying to develop talent. We wouldn't be able to evaluate Kessler if he's hurt, so we appeared to finally get some good news on the injury front.
Kessler's first drive left a lot to be desired, but I love how he responded after the Pats' took the lead 7-0. Without the aid of any type of running game, Kessler and the offense marched right down the field, and then executed in the red zone. Kessler again showcased his accuracy and touch when he threw a gorgeous, looping pass to Hawkins who ran a killer route. The ball dropped right in with the sideline fast approaching, and Hawk reels it in for a big score. That's no small thing.
Like Mary Kay has said, we don't have much to gain by starting McCown if they can both medically play. I've been impressed with Kessler, but I still maintain the opinion that his ceiling is that of a career backup, possibly a good one. That's no knock on Kessler, and it's not a backhanded compliment. A good backup QB can mean the difference between making the playoffs or just missing them because of the frequency of injuries to the QB position. Kessler's arm just isn't strong enough to really drive the ball, and more importantly, he's so damn slow. The guy just can't escape pressure, and we don't exactly have the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line.

Side note - if both Kessler and McCown suit up, say goodbye to Jesus.

Screw MKC, This team & Hue needs a winning taste in Tenn. McC gives them the best chance to do so. Drago must break his arm off,to not go

Agree. And I think the coaches agree as well. Kessler did OK, but he was never meant to play this season, and he hasn't exactly been Peyton Rodgers-Brady. He'll go back to the bench if McCown is fit enough to play. Plus, with McCown back, Pryor on the deep ball comes back in to the game plan.
Either way, we need to make sure our QB doesn't get hit all the damn time.

How did we not give Jake Long a look sometime this season? Vikes just signed him to replace their two IR'd tackles on OL.

I don't think we sniff guys over 30.

BTW, and this has probably been discussed elsewhere but I haven't been around - the vikings now seem to have two legitimate starting QBs in Bridgewater and Bradford. Obviously Bradford is older by about 5 years, but he's only 28, he could be around for another 10 years or so if the vikes want him.
So, the question is, if one is on the trading block (as is likely), would you want either, and if so, for how much? Teddy's under contract for one more year, but with an option to pick up the fifth year of the rookie contract (I believe), and Bradford has one more year at a pretty high rate.
