Might be interesting to see how everything plays out with Tyrod's 2018 season with the "new look BEOWNS" and maybe new philosophy of not trying to kill newbie QBs coming up since 1999.

BROWNS v28.0? For sure a great choice for Hard Knocks on a TV near you tomorrow .....or maybe your favorite bar.

I see Taylor playing really good.

Need Dez though.

The money part of it applies to Taylor.

An extension means that Taylor must be the starter.

Remember that Mayfield signed a #1 player contract.....no financial incentives needed there.

Also your team always wants/needs a good backup quarterback unless Mayfield just falls apart it is his job in 2019 if not late 2018.

Spot on Aggie.

Brady sat 1 year. Dorsey is clever. If youre Mayfield what are you thinking when Dorsey is talking about an extension for Taylor? 

Youre pi$$ed. Thats supposed to Mayfields job next year, but now Dorsey has given Taylor and Mayfield incentive to work harder.

How many years did Rodgers sit on the bench learning before he came in full time and performed lights out from day one?

That is what I hope for the Browns, the luxury of waiting to open a  bottle of fine wine when it is ready.

Actually...I think he also went on to play for the Jets.

yep.. I forgot about that..

@nickers said:

Of course and I understand that they were letting Favre play out untill he was done.. But he did play for Minnesota for a season before he called it quits...

Rodgers didn't need 5 years to sit.. And you and anyone is stupid for thinking so.. You either have it from the start.. or you simply don't... The same applies for playing musical instruments.. you've got it... or you simply don't..

Bradshaw absolutely sucked his first few years. So there's that. And I just bought a harmonica on ebay. If I "got it" I'll let you know.?

@the-gipper said:

True...but sitting for some time may still have been helpful.  Besides, that team had a Hall of Fame QB running things for them.

Watching only goes so far.. You eventually have to do it on the field.. Sitting on your A$$ won't help that much...

You don't know that, no one knows that.   It is unknowable.  Sitting may in fact have been the best thing for him.....for all you and we know.

The point is.. He never needed to sit , period...

He sat for 3 years at least.  And it did not hurt him, did it?

If the Browns look to resign Taylor for next season to compete against Mayfield for the starting gig than that should be a great indicator that the Browns think they whiffed by taking Mayfield #1 overall. 

Because Tyrod Taylor isn't keeping the #1 overall pick with 30+ college starts off the field in his second NFL season. 

No

You always want players nipping at the heels of guys in front of them. Playing time is earned and you're not entitled to play because of the draft.

Best man for the job. Want to play and start? Be better.

Dorsey has publicly stated that he would like to offer Taylor an extension if he plays lights out. The Browns have plenty of cap room.

If the Brown are 4 - 4 or 5 - 3 by the end of October I offer more money. Thats the move forward. Let Mayfield take Taylors job away if he can.

Yeah, I know he isn't Ghoolie either. 

But it beats the alternative of a man out there named "Boo" who seems to want to gargle Ghoolie's balls. 

Never met him, but find him funny.

At least he is witty and original.

@tour2ma said:

So... Did Zombo challenge every a$$hole on the Board while I was away?

No, he was waiting on you.

@texasag1969 said:

Just giving you a hard time. I know you aren't Ghoolie, but it is funny to say so.?

BTW did I ever tell you about the plane crash of a Cessna 182 in the College Station cemetery? So far Aggieland EMS has recovered 120 bodies.?

It would kill Ghoolie to say anything good about the Browns.

When I was going to night school, I had an Aggie descriptive geometry teacher.

What a prick, but that sob knew his stuff.
