Jimmy Garoppolo Speculation
-
Gipper---Only a lawyer would argue a player was both a mistake and the best option available at the time in the same breath. My advice? Stop breathing. As for whether McCarron and Garappolo are better "pure Qbs" than RG3, both backups are capable of running offenses built upon pre snap coverage recognition, the very thing RG3 is incapable of doing. In fact, you say RG3 can't even read a defense after the ball is snapped.
But more importantly, both backup QBs are 3 years of NFL development ahead of Mitch "Aaron Rodgers" Trubisky.
As for Myles Garrett, I don't understand why you can't judge him without all of the brownie related baggage. What's Courtney Brown have to do with anything?

In other words: someone that employs logic.
Because what makes you think that the other options were not even bigger mistakes?
Kessler....rookie, slow feet, slow weak arm.
McCown...older, can't win to help his life.
RG may have been the best of a bad situation.
Logic.

Yes...that is what I said...those guys are likely better. I didn't stutter.
But more importantly, both backup QBs are 3 years of NFL development ahead of Mitch "Aaron Rodgers" Trubisky.
But miles behind in talent. They are backups, and may likely remain backups. MT may become a star.
Why ride a mule when you can ride thoroughbred.

Nothing.....I told you...it is pessimism based on a miserable history.
Garrett may be the next LT or the next Courtney Brown.
MT may be the next Aaron Rodgers, or the next Brady Quinn ( I have readily admitted that).
Allen may be the next Merlin Olsen....or the next Stapuff marshmallow man.
The Browns draftees always seem to turn out to be the latter, not the former.

I know umad won't back down, but why would he? It's just message board dick-flexing at this point. I'd be willing to bet, however, if roles were reversed and Cincy was the team looking to acquire a QB, that he would be arguing it from the other side.
If Cincy was considering trading for the backup to a middle of the road starter whose playoff record makes Tony Romo look like Tom Brady, he would be the one worried about getting the short end of the stick. Then chances would be good that Gipper would be all for trading within the division to unload a player who is younger and bigger than Andy dalton, but can't beat out Andy dalton.
It's just a matter of perspective, really.
This is about perspective not the division.

OK, I will be willing to trade Cody Kessler for AJ McCarron.
Or RG for McCarron. Sure, right now.
If Oprah wants to deal his backup QB, sure, we can make a deal.
If he wants a draft pick....a late 3rd rounder would be the offer.

I wouldn't make either of those deals.
Why would we trade young AJ McCarron for old AJ McCarron? Why would we trade a guy who at least has a 20% chance of still being good for a guy who has a 0% chance?

McCarron is 26, Kessler 23....so its not like there is that big of an age difference.
And are you saying that McCarron's QB skills are no greater than, perhaps less than those of Kessler?
OK, interesting. Lets see if Oprah agrees with you.

Browns52---You're correct about RG3s running ability being his greatest strength. That's what's so odd about Hue making him a starter. You can Google old interviews where Jay Gruden explains why he had no interest in drafting Colin Kaepernick or any other mobile QB to run his scheme. Point blank, said if you're a QB and you run you're guilty of not running the offense. Yet he's talking about the very same scheme Hue put RG3 in charge of.
Royce---If roles were reversed I'd beat the drum loudly for a trade for either backup, not just because I think both are worth the risk, but also because doing so would allow my team to stay put and draft the best player 1st overall. I'll even take it a step further by saying I'd want McCarron over Garappolo due to the dramatically lower cost, both in real dollars and total draft picks surrendered.
TCPO---I like Kessler more than most and I wouldn't think twice about the way he was over drafted. Badly. The only thing important now is you've got your back up QB of the future. As for starting? Sure, why not? If you're not going anywhere Kessler can get you there as well as anyone.

@ghoolie said:
.... at least NOT the Garoppolo we saw last year. If the Browns want THAT Garoppolo....... then they also need to get Bill Belichik, because this QB did what he did because he was carefully guided.
Entirely agree with this it should be obvious to everyone!
-
@boo-fagley said:
Just more of the intelligent analysis that Ghoolie brings to the table.
He is likely dead on the money. Spend 1 and 12 on getting 2 defensive studs and 33 on Tribinsky.
Seriously? #33 on Trubisky....when he is likely to go Top 5?
Again...you proposed a bet, I took you up on it. Are you backing off Jack?

FIFY...
I guess by contrast to all the horseshit, including the greatest HC of the modern era, if not all time, in a deal seems intelligent.

Figure it out: Art Modell may have fired the two greatest HCs of all time. PB/BB
And some thought he should go into the HOF?

Fire Hue Jackson.
Hire Bill Belichick.
Select Trubisky 1st, 12th, or 33rd overall.
It's good to see the Browns Board 's kung-fu grip on reality is as firm as always.

@boo-fagley said:
What did Ghoolie say that was wrong?
Belichick did control Garapolos every move. Garapolo made the most out of it. Garapolo isnt Garapolo if Hue uses him the wrong way.
In this instance? Nothing. However, in the majority of his quoted posts that bleed thru my fire wall...
And if I use a wrench as a hammer, it's still a wrench. We can post axioms all day.

Sometime Browns fans get over excited, unrealistic. Of course, no matter how bad things may be, we can always take comfort that nothing said on here can match the sheer inanity, vapidity, and fatuousness of the trolls that come here that root for other teams.

choco---You're making a semantic argument while grown ups are sharing opinions. Props for knowing your limitations.

I saw an article written yesterday by an ESPN analyst which stated the two front runners for Garoppolo are the Browns and the Bears. The article insinuated the Bears will go "all in", and while nobody quite knows what that means, one has to wonder if they'd be craziest enough to offer their #3 overall pick. Most people, including myself, think that's absolutely nutso, but when I look at it like, "Well, the Bears need a QB, and nobody would skewer them for DRAFTING one at #3, so why is it different to TRADE #3 for a QB?"
Silly season tells us we don't know anything, and whatever the analysts write about will most certainly be either conjecture or directly stem from misleading information. Why would an NFL leak real information right now? Still, it's all we got right now, so might as well talk about it.

Thank God the combine starts next week. Just in time to save us from more retreads.

uh huh
That's what you call your shitposting?
By all means, carry on then
What has this board become where we have a Pats fag calling out a Bengals fag?
(don't take the term "fag" personally...it is what we call all fans of other teams...or all people that are just on here because of one player...like Johnny fags. If you want you can replace the g with an n...if it makes you feel better)

Just to show how deep into silly season we are...
'Madden 17' sim: Browns, 49ers, Texans, Bears shouldn't trade for Jimmy Garoppolo
Then again the sim did nail the Falcons' 2016 SB appearance...

Gipper---I see no reason to be upset about being called a fag on the Browns Board. When in Rome, right?
choco---That's two posts in a row where you've written nothing worth reading. What's your record?

The thing is, coming onto the Browns board is the least gay thing you do in you life likely.
