Because young talent doesn't know shit about being a pro. I will use your analogy: if you want to learn the proper, effective methods of having sex, do you call on 22 year old virgin....or a 37 year cougar that's been around a bit?

how funny if Josh ends up following JFF to Denver.

if it happened at least it's not moving to somewhere crazy bitter cold and dying, Denver is growing, clean, progressive, sunny -- off the field it's a definite positive. on the field they are returning SB Champs, there's definitely worse places to be.

@logicisforsquares said:

fair, but i believe it was more timing, his surroundings, his particular situation,rather than lack of talent or ability as the culprits. i can't think of a better 3rd QB for the Browns as insurance down the stretch. i think i like him even better than a Hoyer backup. he and Tom Brady would make for an interesting QB room.

no thanks. positive attitude, maturity, respect, punctuality, intelligence, talent, wisdom, focus, poise, toughness, desire/will/drive/ambition/determination, tenacity, great presence and heart are not words i use to describe losers.

huge difference between the words "can't" and "haven't".

here, one is an impossibility. the other simply has seldom occurred.

However, he has experience coaching up talent. McCown couldn't figure out how to get himself out of mediocrity.

No reason he wouldn't be successful on a good team, maybe Denver.

how do we know this, and to what extent do they really not care? obviously they won't lose the fanbase if Josh left and had success elsewhere, but i believe they don't see absolutely zero value in him either. i hope he sticks. with Goff/Wentz it would be the best ive felt about the Brown's QB room...ever.

@killerinstinct3 said:

i think it's more about durability. since returning to the league in '99, the Browns are something like 1/16 at making it through a season with 3 QBs or less...with a pretty decent O-line that has had multiple pro bowlers on it, Lecharles Bentley not included.

do you follow the Browns closely? nearly 30 QBs in two decades is worth rolling the dice on an unproven RG3 healthwise, Shaw/Davis and a rookie?

let me remind you the Browns are a Billion dollar franchise. not a swimming pool concession stand or a shift at a Lowes Home Improvement. a billion dollars. now imagine running a billion dollar company with millions of fans, employees with families, in a league where success directly translates to fame and huge financial reward. the QB is the most important position in American football.

not doing everything is literally irresponsible. you can be a big risk taker on an X Box, preferably not on a team currently on a 50 year championship drought.

for me, as a Browns fan when i hear you say the above it makes me imagine NASA going into space a man short with another having a cold.

except this shit is real, and NASA isn't in space and is irrelevant to this discussion.

billion dollar company...heading into the safari with no spare tire, even though you have a full size one on a rim already mounted on the truck, and you want to unbolt it and leave it behind to make room for more cannonfodder...no thank you.

^^^ dream situation for me.

@bbedward said:

I'd have to think RG3 is looking for a situation where he'd eventually have a chance to be the guy.

sounds typical, but if RG3's ego is in check regarding being a backup he may not see the situation as you see it at all.

i question his heart, but i also don't know him. he never wanted to be in Cle before. he still makes over a Mil per year to ride the pine, doesn't sound too bad. but yeah hitting those contract incentives and triggering those escalators would be nice, but does he really want to be a pinata on a 3-13 team that's obviously rebuilding? maybe, maybe not.

Or is that the practice couch

Wentz starts the last one, after we have already clinched everything we can clinch. And he looks awesome.

I just see RG as the new "capable vet". Pair him with the QB I still see us taking at #2 and there are our two QBs for the 53. It is how I see a rebuilding team going. Could there be a 3rd QB? Sure...

If we were in playoff contention, then a second vet as an insurance policy would make sense to me... but we are not in that position. Thus the #2 overall...

Part of our rebuild effort has to be mining for position players. Prior to this year I'd put most positions ahead of OL. Now? At minimum the gap has closed.

It does look like Hue carried three QBs in his year at Oakland... Palmer, Campbell and Boller.

Looks like 3 capable veterans to me.

I'm not predicting what Jackson will do but that sounds better than veteran reclamation project, rookie and bum.

Or simply reclamation project and rookie.

Anyway when the time comes we are down to our third quarterback it probably won't matter very much.

Also, Tour, how many receivers, lineman tight ends et cetra do we carry? Which of those positions are more important than a competent quarterback? How often does a Browns quarterback play 16 games as opposed to an offensive lineman who has probably at least a couple backups?
