Mind Character Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Sam Bradford's knee is so bad that he's reportedly considering retirement. Teddy Bridgewater has knee concerns and may not be a FA anyway due to contract toll question marks as well that disqualify him. For me, it comes down to Tyrod Taylor, AJ Mccaron, or Josh McCown. I don't think Case Keenum fits the Haley-Jackson offense in terms of being able to take deep shots accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 McCown Year as the Bridge guy, a year as the back-up QB, and then a transition into becoming Todd Haley's QB Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'd go with McCown, but i don't think he can stay healthy enough. AJ Mccaron's a bit of a d*** and Diva so I don't know how well he'd cope with a Darnold and Kizer on his heels, but if he could do so well he'd be my choice. Outside of Mccaron and McCown, it's Tyrod Taylor all day every day for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two on that list who i think would be willing to come in knowing there are only a temporary fix are McCown and Anderson. The others all think they can be, and are looking to be a longer term answer and starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Give me the definition of game manager in Tyrod Taylor. He'll throw for about 3,00 yards, rush for 400-600, account for 20-25 total TD, complete over 60% of his passes, average about 200 passing yards per game, and turn it over less than 8 times all year. He's also a veteran with a fantastic work ethic. He'll come cheap, and we can walk away after this year and maybe even trade him for a mid to low round pick next year if we sign him to a 2 year deal.

Thomas5737 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Give me DA. He fits our system and I have faith that he won't start long allowing our rookie to get valuable game experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Give me Deshone Kizer. If you are drafting a quarterback at #1 and just looking to sit him and learn, I don't see why you don't just start Kizer. It's unlikely that any of those bridge quarterbacks makes you considerably better than Kizer does, and I can't see the chance of making the playoffs considerably greater. So why not roll with Kizer again, with a full compliment of weapons at his disposal (Gordon for a full year, hopefully Coleman for a full year, Njoku with a year under his belt as I said before he was heading into the draft that he was going to be more of a long play, grab a running back), and see what he is with a year under his belt. Maybe he builds some value that can be moved out after the year is over when you want to turn it over to the rookie. Maybe he bombs, but at least at that point you know for sure that he just doesn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Give me McCarron. To me the biggest thing we might need is a QB who is truly comfortable around Huebris. I think Kizer doesnt fully trust him. I think McCarron could be good in this system, specially if the Browns can add more offensive talent. He is an unknown at age 27, that maybe he turns into a legit QB that the Browns could flip him in a season or two or make their QB and they flip the QB they take at #1 pick for picks 2-3years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue is 1-31 I don't think he will want a QB starting that loses games for you and that is what Kizer did last year. With Flacco or Eli (during poor seasons) at QB that still would have been several more TDs and a dozen less turnovers we probably win a handful of games. If Kizer would have just taken knees once he got in the endzone we probably score more than we did. He'd have to make a pretty good turn around to save Hue's job and I doubt Hue would want to gamble on that, he knows he isn't worth his salt he just doesn't want anyone else to know.

That's a good point. The job security issue will play a big factor, which is a shame, because I do think that it makes the most sense to roll with Kizer.

JoshBooty Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I voted to bring back McCown, but Tyrod (don't know his attitude for this), Fitzpatrick (is he returning to the NFL next year?) and Kizer (really want a QB on the roster with at least 1 NFL win) are close behind.

Problem is I have questions if Tyrod is a product of that system. He comes from a extremely run heavy offense built for his strengths. Lots of quick reads with a few shots sprinked in. Hues offense is so much more reliant on a traditional QB with big arm strength to complete all of those vertical passing routes. It requires a lot of 'big boy' throws and I dont know if Taylor would be able to look anything like he currently does if he had to go from a option, run, RPO, quick route offense to a traditional vertical passing offense. And we all know Hue does not change his system to his QBs strengths so thats out the window. Knowing Hues offense, weirdly enough Josh McCown would be a very good choice because he is a vertical passer, big arm and a fantastic mentor type to actually show a rookie some ropes.
