Gipper --- As always, you're the one who keeps insisting there won't be a trade because of something that happened over 50 years ago. Seems to mean a lot more to you than it does anyone actually associated with the Bengals. For example, the Bengals defacto GM Duke Tobin has repeatedly said the team would be willing to listen to any offer and would indeed trade McCarron if the price was right. So there's simply no reason to read between the lines or make silly claims about Mike Brown when Tobin openly admits he's willing to trade a player on the Bengals roster, right? But there's the rub because Tobin has openly warned interested teams that he's going to ask for enough to make it hurt. And of course that's where you guys always tap out.

This subject just came up this morning on the radio....the station that broadcasts Browns games. And THEY stated it emphatically that the Mike Brown has put the Verboten sign on doing any trades with the Browns. So, it is not me.
As for the Browns "tapping out", it is simply a matter of not wanting to be gouged. If the Bengals want to be stupid and ask for stupid compensation for a backup QB, then their FO is Retarded. Besides, the Browns just made a trade for a guy that was a starting QB. Why would they want to trade for another.....unless you think that the Bengals will trade for Brock Osweiler...straight up for McCarron.
-
Im sure it's already been said......but there is a history of the Bengals saying they wont deal with the Browns.......and it would be REALLY REALLY dumb to trade a viable starting QB to a team within your division(and terrible PR move to lose annually to the guy you just traded away)....
So....
#1) I dont see any way the Bugals would do this trade.....
#2) and....IF.....they did, I dont see any way they think McCarron is a viable QB....
Beware beware beware.......any player the Stools, Ravens or Bungals see fit to trade to the Browns

Well, let it be noted that it was the Browns that basically snookered the Steelers into taking Justin Gilbert off their hands for a 6th round pick.
And the one Browns/Ravens trade I recall was the time during the draft that the Browns traded up...then took Kam Wimbley. Now, there was nothing wrong with the trade per se....its just...as usual, there was a problem with the pick.
Then we go back to the Bill Nelsen/Dick Shiner trade. We shined the Steelers dick to make that trade, and it worked great for us.

Gipper---How many times are you going to ignore the words of Duke Tobin? As the Bengals defacto GM don't you think he has more to say on the matter than a couple of talking heads you overheard on the radio? BTW, how often do your hear GM's or director of player personnel openly discussing their willingness to trade a player under contract? I'm guessing not often, but Tobin is willing to do so because everyone in Cincy seems to love McCarron and believe he deserves a chance to start, something he won't get with the Bengals unless Dalton is injured. As a result Tobin knows McCarron won't agree to play for the Bengals two years from now.
As for not wanting to be gouged, I get it, but now you're talking about something completely different than a rant that presumes the Bengals won't trade with the Browns because of something that happened nearly 60 years ago. In fact, a desire to not overpay seems pretty reasonable, and a huge improvement over the silly Mike Brown rant you've repeated a dozen times. Best, the desire to not overpay puts the responsibility for your teams 1-15 record squarely where it belongs, and begs the question of whether the Browns are doing enough to find a new starting QB. Speaking strictly as a Bengal fan I'm only too happy to see the Browns trying to fix things on the cheap.
Mudfly----Nobody loses to the Browns annually and I doubt that fact will change regardless of whether your team trades for Garappolo or McCarron. That said, both might be good enough to double your teams win total, a worthy goal for any team struggling to become relevant again.
-
Mudfly---What point does the Gilbert example prove if not the one about how your team overvalues draft picks? Right now the Brownie fanbase acts as if it's drunk on draft picks, believing that each pick they have will somehow result in a better results than those gotten previously by the same brain trust that made 1-13 possible?
Gipper---You're delusional if you think the Browns came out ahead in the Gilbert dealings. At best your team recovered a tiny fraction of the investment it made in Gilbert by trading him to a team willing to trade a late 6th round pick for a player your team drafted 3rd overall.

Until Mike Brown dies.

But he doesn't have more to say than Mike Brown.

Then you should trade him. It just won't be to the Browns.

Talk to your owner. If you can come up with a statement by Mike Brown ..the owner...not the GM, that says he would be willing to make a trade with anyone, and specifically with the Browns, then I will buy what you are selling. (It would still not mean that they would make a trade)
In fact, a desire to not overpay seems pretty reasonable, and a huge improvement over the silly Mike Brown rant you've repeated a dozen times.
Oh, I can imagine the rants that Mike Brown has had about the Browns over the years.
Again....show us proof that MIKE BROWN has changed his stripes....not his flunky. (pun intended)

You think Osweiler was cheap? At 16 mill per year or whatever? I will be glad to have you take me out for a "cheap" dinner.

In two years, playoff bound. (and I predict that neither JG or McC will be here for it.

That IS what draft picks are supposed to be for: to attempt to improve your team. And riddle me this: how can this group of draft selectors really do any worse than the groups that have been here before.

They came out ahead on the trade....which is what I said. I didn't say they came out ahead on the pick of the player from two years ago I mean, your nuts are so numb as to not be able to read a simple sentence? I mean, put your Captain Obvious uniform on.

The point of collecting picks is to do two possible things: A. To take good players with those picks that will improve your team. Certainly the Browns have performed miserably in that regard....or B. to use those picks as "ammunition" in trades that will allow you to get more picks to get more better players. This is what they did last year in trading the #2 overall pick. While trades of picks have been utilized as ammunition to move up to take players they want....like Trent Richardson and JMZ...it again comes down to what you do with the picks you acquire. Moving a hundred chess pieces around the board won't get you a good pick. Standing pat won't get you a good pick. The Browns have traded, and the Browns have stood pat. In the past, no matter which they did they sucked at making the right pick.
So, I don't care if they do move or if they stand pat. Just pick good players not matter what. A clear failing of many regimes here.
-
Mudfly---So once again a Brown fan makes an argument demonstrating the narrow circumstances that would allow a trade within the division, but I'm still supposed to believe a trade won't happen because of something the Bengals are unwilling to do? And all because of something that occurred long before nearly everyone involved was born? Please. If anything Duke Tobin is trying to fan the flames while simultaneously telling low ballers to stay away.

Gipper---So I'm supposed to come up with "proof" by finding a Mike Brown quote that will counter what you heard on a Cleveland area morning zoo radio show?
-
Gipper---Your prediction the Browns will be a playoff team in two years is just more proof you'll make boasts based upon nothing. Garbage in, garbage out. And you prediction that neither Garappolo or McCarron will be a Brown isn't at all surprising seeing how both teams have expressed their reluctance to deal a backup QB unless offered a kings ransom coupled with your teams unwillingness to pay full price for any veteran QB who isn't named McCown or RG3.
The very fact that your team doesn't have a starting QB and won't trade anything of real value to get one is the very thing that makes your team so Brownish. Well, that and the fact that so many of you are willing to put up with it.

Yes, its called trash talk. Deal with it. Don't like it, run home and cry to mommy.

They didn't really pay "full price" for those guys. RG basically paid the veteran minimum...and was picked up as a FA. Not sure of McCown's salary, though I think the Jets are paying him a lot more now than the Browns did.

They have a starting QB. And they did trade for him. His name is Brock Osweiler. He was the starting QB on a playoff team last year.
I mean, did you like forget that? There may be questions about him...but he WAS a playoff starting QB. And they are paying him 16 mill. Do you not consider that "real value".
And beyond him....I am of the opinion that they are potentially looking to draft a QB of the future.
So, why would we give a shit about trying to get McCarron....or JG, neither of whom are even as proven as BO.

We paid full price for McC and RG? How the fuck did that happen?

Gipper---Why would I bother trying to prove Mike Brown would be willing to trade with Cleveland when so many of you are finally able to admit your own team won't trade within the division? The failure rests with you, as it so often does. Besides, I told you about Tobin's willingness to trade McCarron months ago, and he said at the time he'd be willing to trade to any team, including Cleveland, if that team was willing to meet his asking price. Frankly, that seems far more credible than some story you made up about a couple of guys on the radio saying the same stupid things you once did.
Tour---My bad. The Browns obviously signed players like RG3 and McCown at a heavily discounted rate because both had already proven to be failed starters. Had either been considered any good your team probably would have shown less interest or been outbid by another team. Regardless, that your team still managed to pay more than those players were worth is what prompted me to say you paid full price.
D Bone---You'll take Osweiler any day and every day in exactly the same way you took Weeden, Manziel, RG3, and all the rest. First comes the bluster, followed quickly be the excuses. For example, check out the way Gipper brags about Osweiler as the new starter in the very same breath he talks about drafting a new QB.
