McCown signs with Browns

Re: McCown signs with Browns

what it says is the clev qb sitch is looked at as worse than the bills, which makes sense

theres one name that coaches and gms often come to for advice, and thats mh the geek®, who says regarding the relevant candidates ...

official mh the geek® odds of these collection of bozos actually being anything resembling long term nfl starters of moderately acceptable production actually happening:

30% ej manual
15% johnny loserdick
12% hoyer

the only thing that mcwhocares gives a team like the browns or bills is steady baseline production, but no future. these other guys probably will get there eventually just from holding clipboards for years, except johnny who will probably be dead by then. they technically have more upside but the odds are shrinking for all of them, especially johnny who has a better chance of being infected by a transvestite than ever being a reliable nfl starter

Cleveland is making an early run for the first pick in the 2016 draft.

Pegula is smart.

Went back and told him he's worth lesser money and he found a dumb team that would pay him more than he is worth.

Re: McCown signs with Browns

Does this mean that the Browns won't pick a QB with the 1st round pick they got from the Bills in the Sammy Watkins trade?

Bet they won't pick a QB with their own 1st round pick either.

What would that tell us?

At any rate, I'm glad we didn't land McCown. THREE YEARS? Please. Can't wait to see what kind of contract they gave him.

Re: McCown signs with Browns

Surprised 3 years deal, probably the deal breaker tilted to the Browns.

He'll be 39 when the 3 year rolls around. Of course he himself probably does not expect to see that 3rd year.

Unless he does the Matt Hasselbeck thing and rides the bench. Yet at least Hasselbeck started long term in the NFL meanwhile McCown's been a career clip board holder.

This should open the door for us to bring in Hoyer, which would be the smart move from the get-go.

The reason McCown chose the Browns is that they reportedly offered him a chance to compete for the starting spot.

The implication is that EJ will start.

Or, more likely, the fact the Bills don't view him as a starter - just a safety-valve back-up.

I'm glad we did not sign him. He offered no upside.

Actually the article you linked says that McCown decided to choose between the Bills and Browns because they both offered him the chance to compete for the starting spot (as an aside, I can't believe the Jets didn't as well), which is how it should be. Although I suspect that Cleveland told him he's essentially the starter since Manziel i s a mess and I doubt they add another one in FA, while the draft isn't looking so good for QB's.
