  • So now the question is...who starts for us next week? Still five games to go. Austin Davis was thrust into a very difficult position, and for the most part, did very well. He threw one pass that really should've been picked off, but the Ravens have dropped basically every interception this year. Davis was also the victim of some horrific play calling, and we aren't going to delve into the clock management again. He only had a few drives, but if I had to guess, Austin Davis will be starting the next game for us.

    Sure he will. He looked just fine last night. None of the team problems come from the quarterback position.

    The name Matt Schaub ring a bell? And that was for an entire game!

    I wouldn't get too excited because often a second or third string quarterback looks good for a few series near the end of a game.

    At least the penalties weren't as horrendous as usual. But we still lost to one of the worst teams in the league on our home field.

    WSS

  • or, maybe we should adapt the old refrain..

    "we need to see what we have...."

    and start Davis. though, I still can't believe

    he slid and went down inbounds...........

    He's a lovable loser. He'll never be a great quarterback and it's a classic browns move to keep going to him.

    Kinda like John and yourself minus the lovable part.

    And seriously if you're going to call a guy loser based on his record then the brown should have never gotten rid of Brian Hoyer who has his second straight team in a playoff chase after a year of nothing

    Oh burn. Im wounded to the quick. And of course you call a guy a loser based on his record...what the fuck else is there? He loses. That's what he does.
  • Austin Davis. Pick up a guy like Tyler thigpen to back him up. Johnny can serve them water

    In all seriousness (well the above statement might be serious) Josh had a great season for us - bright spot in crappy season.

  • I start John against the Seahawks and let the oline deliver a message The Longest Yard style.

    LOL. they wouldn't even have to do it on purpose- they do a pretty good job of it even when they're trying.

  • Austin Davis? The new Kurt Warner? (but not with this coaching staff).

    Other QBs out there perhaps for Browns to pick up:

    Jason Campbell

    Matt Flynn

    Tavaris Jackson

    Tyler Thigpen.

  • Something just smells really brown when a guy has a broken collarbone & finds his way back on the field. At 2;20 left in 3rd he falls on throwing shoulder. Shown trying to rise it on bench. Ravens drive from our 1 to kick FG to go up 7. At 9;05 left in 4th we decide on a broken collarbone QB. 1 out to M. Johnson. Next pass on a 20 yard out to Benji (10 yards over his head) Josh is done & on ground untouched. Pets presser should be good if you can break a collarbone throwing 2 passes. 53 players would rather not play a broken collarbone QB after crunch time of a bone that throws. Ridiculous!!

    Bring back the Thig!

    Wasn't like the bone was sticking out of his skin. There are breaks and then there are breaks. Josh threw on the sideline, but was not until he tried to rip that out to Benji that he knew it was not just pain, that he was injured.

    And Josh went down to give Davis time to warm up...

  • Josh has balls, is a leader, our Offense would rally behind him.... I definitely felt that Joe Thomas felt that way when I watched his interview about the manziel controversy and benching. The players loved Josh. Let's get on the Austin Davis train and see what he has.

    Props to Pettine for sticking to his word, but I fucking hated getting beat by the ravens, especially like that.. fucking a....

    Word is Josh suffered a "non-displaced" fracture...

    In a non-displaced fracture, the bone cracks either part or all of the way through, but does move and maintains its proper alignment.

    T it has just been so damn frustrating trying to stick up for Pet when this kind of shit keeps happening. wash rinse repeat will never work. There our team doctors there. There is league doctors on sidelines to stop this from happening is what the NFL is selling but none of them give a shit about the player. (our cleat guy can't even do his job) Personally as a teammate I would be pist when you activate 2 more QB's than send in the 3rd with any shoulder issue on his throwing arm when were down 7 with time. Yes Josh has the heart of a lion but you tell him 52 other players say no they got this. This team is mismanaged in far to many ways when every thing has to be discussed as a group with above.

    NO his team loses. All but about 1 loss can 've accredited to the team not the qb. By yourshitty logic Joe Thomas may be the biggest LOSER in the NFL and we shoulda kept Hoyer.

    As Pet said after Zona beat down on Josh. "Josh knows if he is hurt to go down on Field" Josh got that message from a podium imo. Down went Drago!!

  • Mccown is 18-39 as a starter and multiple teams have let him go. The guys likeable but he is not a winner nor is he a top flight quarterback

  • Joe Thomas is a lineman. Lineman are important but as they never touch the ball or make any plays it's a terrible comparison.
