    Guys, they didn’t sign Stanton to play.

    Tyrod is the starter, and he’ll be busy trying to win games and won’t have time to mentor our rookie. That’s where Stanton comes in, he’ll be attached at the hip to whatever QB we draft for the entire year. Very smart.

    Well... when I think Drew Stanton the word "mentor" isn't the first thought that follows.

    That said here's an interesting tweet...

    Stanton was a backup on the Lions during No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford’s rookie year and a backup behind No. 1 pick Andrew Luck in Indy during his rookie year. This is becoming a specialty of his.

    I would say that he has experience in seeing what it takes for a No. 1 pick QB to succeed in this league, as both Stafford and Luck have had success. He can use that knowledge to give to whatever QB we draft, AND that rookie can still sit and learn at the same time

    Well just remember that even though he did not have the talent to be a starting QB in the NFL, Kubiac was Elway's backup and coach on the bench as well as being a pretty good QB handler as a full time career coach. I'm guessing Dorsey gets that.

    Indeed, and there's plenty of other examples of this as well. Put simply, you don't last 10 years in the NFL at the QB position if you don't bring something to the table. 

  • this ensures that the rookie qb never sees the field! plain and simple. Now, this is the browns we are talking about so by the fifth game everyone might be injured BUT...

    So would have keeping Hogan or Kessler and choosing to play them...

    Stanton's play is not going to forestall fan demands for the rookie should Tyrod go down.

    Since when does Hue Jackson give a crap about what the Browns fans think?  

    He should have had his fat arse in Lake Erie here sometime in the last 3 months....as demanded by the fans.....but he has not done so

    C'mon Gip....Hue put the TEAM in the deep freeze. Did you really expect HIM to suffer hypothermia just to make us smile?  😉

    Ain't no ice cubes in Hue's bathtub!!  🙄

    Only because you asked... Since his job is on the line? a/k/a "on thin ice".

    A careful reading of my post would have let you know your question is misplaced.

    And so the countdown to once again ignoring Gip begins again...

    The thing that is on thin ice is your sensitivity level. 

    Do you think I was trying to be so very specifically responsive to your question?  No...I wasn't. I simply used it as a jumping off point to mention that  there is nothing that fans can demand of Hue that he would be responsive to.  

    Honestly....why does anything said on here by anyone on here offend you so much?  Simple innocuous comments and you are ....nevermind....I won't bother to say it.   You might get offended....and since I am going on vacation this week I don't need this kind of Housewives of Houston drama.

    God I hope not.... that's a sure fire way the Browns could Browns it up with a pick at 1 and 4.

    I fully expect the Browns to do something stupid and draft Allen #1 overall....

    If not, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I suspect I'm going to be shaking my head and murmuring: "You've got to be kidding me" come Thursday night, April 26...

    Maybe Browns go for the whole enchilada with Barkley at 1, Chubb at 4, and then trade up to 5-9 and take Allen.  Wow, that would make for one exciting draft for Browns fans.  Or some might just jump off a bridge immediately following the 4th pick.

  • Their defense, which is becoming stellar it seems, will benefit greatly with Stanton running the practise sessions.  The D wouldn't get proper prep with a rookie running those drills.

    The Browns would have to give up practically their whole draft to get back into the top 10. 

    And with their three picks in the top 10, the Browns would use one on a RB who could be toast by the time he's 26 and a QB who is ridiculously overrated. 

    Yikes.

    You confuse "offend" with "annoy".

    You confuse "anyone" with "you".

    Um, no you're batting .333, Barkley is the most overhyped prospect in the draft.  As another poster said we'd have to give up all our second round picks just to move to #10, and Allen probably won't even be there. Not that I'd want to give up that much for Josh anyway.  

    The Browns still have far too many holes to be throwing those extra picks away.

    This is shaping up to be one interesting Cleveland Browns draft and it's still 31 days off.

    A lot of good non-quarterback players out there including a slew of running backs.
