QBs the Browns could have picked
-
Next up: 1980 and after:
Note....the Browns were NOT in any position to take any of the HOF QBs that came out in the 80s. They had NO first round pick at their disposal in the 1983 QB rich draft that gave us Elway, Kelly and Marino. Steve Young was taken with the #1 pick in the USFL Supplemental draft...and Browns could not grab him. Troy Aikman was #1 pick in the 1989 draft...ergo, no chance at him. So we move to the 1990s:
1991. Brett Favre #33 Before he was taken the Browns took Eric Turner...a very good pick, and Ed King OG a bad pick.
After Favre it is all "speculation"...but in a lot of cases it is good speculation.
1998 Peyton. Browns were on "hiatus" this year with no chance to take him.
1999 Donovan McNabb. #2. Daunte Culpepper #11 McNabb...borderline HOF candidate. Culpepper, solid QB for years. Instead we took Couch
2000 Tom Brady. #199 Certainly well know story.....the potential GOAT....that every team including the Browns...and the team that took him passed on multiple times.
2001 Drew Brees #32. Browns took Gerard Warren at #3 instead. Just on pick after they took Quincy Morgan at #33.
2004 Ben Roethlisberger #11. Browns took Kellen Winslow II at #6 instead. (Eli and Phillip Rivers off board before Browns could pick)
2005 Aaron Rodgers #24 Browns took Braylon Edwards at #3 instead. (to me...this is THE biggest Shmuckup of the 21st century. Browns needed a QB...but passed on Rodgers, as did many based on what?)
2011 Andy Dalton #35, Colin Kaepernick #36. Instead took Phil Taylor at #21. Browns probably better off with either QB.
2012 Ryan Tannehill #8. Instead took Trent Richardson. Say what you want about Tannehill...he would have been better than TR. But then here is where things get really funky:
.........Russell Wilson round 3, Kirk Cousins round 4. Instead, Browns take Brandon Weeden at #22
2014 Derek Carr #36 and Teddy Twatwater #32. Instead we take both Justin Gilbert and Johhny Manziel. While Bridgewater has been hurt...his prospects going forward are still better than any of the guys we chose.
2015. Does Trevor Siemian count. 7th round pick? Better choice than Cam Erving who we took at #19. We still had Shelton at #12
2016. Carson Wentz. #2 Dak Prescott 4th round. Browns could have taken Wentz but traded down for Corey Coleman. And every team several times could have had Prescott.
2017 Mitch Trubisky and DeShaun Watson. I don't think we need to delve further into this...as we shall see.
So, there is the misery you all want to wallow. Go ahead....get filthy.

I highlighted 2001 for a reason Gip. That draft was a close second in the all-time screwup department. We whiffed on LaDanian Tomlinson and Richard Seymour for good measure on top of Brees.
& if the Hoorta had been doing the drafting, we would have had Rothlisberger, Wentz, or probably Trubisky on top of it. I'm still waiting for that phone call to scout QBs for the Browns.... Sure as hell not "It's a sin if we draft Quinn", Geriatric We-done, Johnny Juicer, "Too Slow" Trent Richardson. I have a strong suspicion (hated that pick) Rocket Arm Kizer will join the bust parade.
We could have even more fun Gip listing the WRs we whiffed on. Willis Adams, Greg Little (production), Mohammed MassiveDrop, and Brian Slowbiski immediately come to mind....

Well, I just limited this thread to the QBs that we "missed" on. If we were to go through all the other positions, we could be here all week.
And yes, this thread is meant to be somewhat of a joke.....to pull the wings off everyone who is crying, moaning and whining about why the Browns didn't pick so and so and whatshisname and Mr. Blahblahblahblahblah. There ain't nothing we can do it about it....be it missing on John Unitas or DeShaun Watson. So, to me, anyone obsessing about that is merely doing this:

Yes... He does. He threw the ball fine. He admitted that he was letting the DL affect his throwing by running around with their arms up. And the Defense was giving him a look that he had never seen before. He's young, 24 and really still a rookie. Give him a break, once he's playing with some confidence he'll inspire this team to greatness.

I watched the Texans game... I also watched the Ravens and Jets games where he orchestrated the only scoring drives we had. I also remember him getting us to overtime and Hue deciding to go for it... I 'member- do you 'member dat?

God.....that big bad defense ran around with their arms up and poor Kevin couldn't handle it so we should give him and his noodle arm another chance to try and throw 5 INT"s in a half this time. Give it a rest and go back to telling us that Josh Gordon is coming back and how great Trent Richardson is and leave this one alone. You're embarrassing yourself.

Both losses...so who cares. No clue what you're talking about for the game he got us to overtime and why that is something we should be blowing him over. Cody Concussler got us to OT last week...how did that turn out?

I don't usually bitch about someone hijacking my threads....but I am here.
Fuhuck off with your Hogan talk. You want to talk Hogan....start your own Goddamned thread about him. Delete all your stupid posts on this thread about Hogan....and stick to the subject of this thread. And no...Hogan is NOT part of the subject of this thread. So get your shite off my lawn.

The only way possible for Sushi and DePud to keep their jobs is to draft a genuine, porcupine, bonafide NFL franchise QB in 2018. Book it. And Kizer isn't it either.

You think they are going to be around to do that?
