2018 QB Class

The Browns Board

  • Just curious, could the Browns shock the world and offer #1 & #4 to Green Bay for Rodgers? Then sign him to the biggest contract in NFL history. Would the Packers give it a thought? Before you immediately say no, Green Bay could have the chance to draft whatever qb they want in what's considered a very good qb draft plus the #4 pick and they would free up all his money from the books. Not to mention, they are going to have to pay him in a year or two anyway and his price tag is only going up based on the Cousins signing. Finally, he is 34 years old so let's be generous and say 4-6 years of really good football left for $30 mil/yr moving forward. Would/should the browns even consider something like that?

  • How about this combination? Drew Brees will be a free agent possibly. Have him mentor 6 foot Baker Mayfield! What do you think?

    WSS

  • So you essentially tell Brees, we will make you the highest paid qb for the next 3 years but we will be moving on from you after that? I'm not sure he buys into it, but it's not a terrible thought. I think he has too much invested in NO to walk away personally. and vice versa. They will make something happen.

    No- give up your future for a year or two of Rodgers?

    Nope Steve. Brees is as much a fixture in The Big Easy as Joe Thomas is in Cleveland. 

    While we're at it doing doing crazy talk, how about offering our #1 overall to the Patriots for Brady?

    FWIW, Drew is already 39. He'll be on a year to year contract with the Saints. 

  • hoorta, I don't disagree with you.  However, would 4-5 years of Rodgers be worth it? Remember, part of this scenario is the Browns are locking up Rodgers for the rest of his career. that's essentially the question at hand.

    Oh I never for a second thought it was going to happen. Just that would be a nice scenario. Two 6 foot tall guys.

    Still no. Would the Packers take a deal like that? Probably, the #1 and #4 would get us any starting QB that's on the high side of 30 (just the #4 would have landed us Alex Smith). Who's Aaron throwing to? Gordon and? It's short term Fool's Gold. If you want my honest opinion, it's a far worse idea than signing Kirk Cousins in free agency. At least we're not giving up picks to build the roster, and Kirk is 4 year younger. 

    The din from the "win now" crowd in the Bleacher section is getting mighty loud.....   

  • once again, I would never make that deal. As good as Rodgers is, Father Time is undefeated. I think Rosen or Darnold are elite qb talents and you take your chance with them.

  • Ha, If Po can post 100 Saquon videos, I can do at least one on McCarron. Observations? Does not have a Josh Allen arm. This video was from 2015, maybe he's been working on that. Seems a lot of his throws were high- what usually happens when you try to put extra mustard on a throw. Doesn't have Mayfield's pinpoint accuracy either. Um two years $15 million guaranteed sounds about right. We bring in AJ, we still will need to draft a qb high.   PS- looking at his contract he's basically been playing at vet minimum for the Bengals typical of Mike Brown.

    Yeah I know 70% completion rate sucks.

    I think you're confusing completion % with accuracy.

    I haven't seen anyone call them elite, good probably, maybe but we'll see what more the combines show.

    eh. I think Miami will trade down, and draft Mike White.

    Rosen isn't chosen until the second round, by the niners - who will have him back up Garoppolo, because rosen fits in

  • Actually I'm at the ones with the Browns taking Josh Allen. Comparing him to Matthew Stafford.

    WSS

  • I still think Allen has the highest upside - but it won't be his first year that he's ready to roll. It's just that kind of qb year.

    If our receivers can't get the handle on catching a 50 mph dart from Kizer? Hell, they may not even see the 60 mph dart of Allen coming till it gets past them 🥷

    I don't think it's the speed of the pass... It's more of the placement. Rather, it's the erratic placement of his passes. You don't know when he's going to throw it OR where he's going to throw it.
