utzie Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 "NEWS: The Browns have signed unrestricted free agent QB Rex Grossman and have waived QB Tyler Thigpen." - this from the Browns' facebook
JAFBF Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Looks like it's begun : Cleveland Browns @Browns · 6m NEWS: The Browns have signed unrestricted free agent QB Rex Grossman and have waived QB Tyler Thigpen.
gftChris Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Well, it finally happened, I had assumed Grossman was on the way in as soon as Shanahan was hired.
MLD Woody Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 But... But... But.... Connor Shaw is our 3rd string...
Flyin J Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Pigpen was a special kind of awful Saturday.
2006EE Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 So why do this? Rex going to be third string? Bleacher Report saying Browns might look into moving Hoyer if they decide to give Johnny the keys.
utzie Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Posted August 12, 2014 So why do this? Rex going to be third string? Bleacher Report saying Browns might look into moving Hoyer if they decide to give Johnny the keys. I wouldn't necessarily trust anything that BR says. I would give it about a 0.5% chance that Hoyer or Johnny are gone this season. It's not like Hoyer has a ton of value around the league anyways and his contract is cheap and expiring, so there would be no reason to move him. And yes, Rex was brought in to be the 3rd string. He knows Shanny's system and is a vet with a lot of starting experience who can be plugged in whenever. Good backup, definitely not a starter. Considering that Thigpen looked awful in Detroit, no surpise this move was made today.
Tour2ma Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Well, it finally happened, I had assumed Grossman was on the way in as soon as Shanahan was hired. Po' man's Kirk Cousins... Loved this comment at http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/12/browns-sign-rex-grossman/ frenchysgoldfish says: Aug 12, 2014 9:42 AM "Johnny Football has a mentor! Sexy Rexy! Hide your daughters! You can’t make this stuff up. NFL Network has three more hours of Johnny Football stories tonight!"
WalterWhite Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Twitter is saying Hoyer could possibly be dealt? What the fuck?

If the decision was made to "hand the keys" to JM, then maybe the only way to minimize any lingering QB controversy would be to trade BH.
2006EE Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Will we carry 3 QBs into the season or use that 46th spot for depth somewhere else?
utzie Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Posted August 12, 2014 Will we carry 3 QBs into the season or use that 46th spot for depth somewhere else? With a small-statured QB and another QB coming off a major knee injury, I don't see why we wouldn't carry 3 QB's on the roster into the season.
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 I'm waiting for it, mik. Go ahead. I can take it.
miktoxic Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 great. grossman is a bigger pot head than gordon. does anyone do their homework on these guys?
DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 great. grossman is a bigger pot head than gordon. does anyone do their homework on these guys? They gonna partyyyyy!
utzie Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Posted August 12, 2014 And what of shaw? Practice squad? Let's hope so. Maybe the FO isn't too high on him, though. I don't think he had any reps in the game vs the Lions.
Bangobango Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Getting ready to move Hoyer? Makes sense if you don't want qb controversy. Also puts an end to locker room split.
utzie Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Posted August 12, 2014 Getting ready to move Hoyer? Makes sense if you don't want qb controversy. Also puts an end to locker room split. Still makes no sense. It would be different if both QB's were All-Pro's or something where you could move a player for good value. What's the most that Hoyer would get us in a trade? A 7th? I would rather start either QB and have a controversy than move Hoyer for basically nothing.
jrb12711 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 You fools, don't you see the glorious plan unfolding? Draft a flashy player high and create a "controversy" at the position. Create the perfect distraction to draw people fully away from the glory that is obtaining Sexy Rexy. Now it's just a matter of getting the two other QB's "injured" and boom: Super Bowl champions. Check mate, NFL.
Kvoethe Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Hoyer is on his way out now. I feel a trade coming on and Jf named starter and sexy Rexy as backup
hoorta Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Pigpen was a special kind of awful Saturday. You can look up my post- I called that one- "cut Thigpen immediately". The Hoyer Hatas going into party mode at the thought Hoyer might get moved. Screw Twitter. As far as moving Hoyer- MHO is he'd happily accept the backup role behind JF- if it comes to that. PS Grossman sucks.
TXDawg Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 surely somebody will offer up a 1st round pick and a flock of wide receivers for the second coming of tom brady. so much untapped potential in hoyer. 9 years, untapped. so valuable on the market. i'm sure it will take all week to sift through the offers. in the meantime, lol at those claiming nfl experience being the single most valuable measuring stick.
The Gipper Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 I actually expected this move to have been made like back in March. I believe it is a slight upgrade....for our 3rd string QB. (and the way things go for the Browns he could be our starting QB for like a third of the season)

(wasn't there a guy on twitter last week that said he had inside info from the league that gordon was only going to be suspended 4 games and it would be announced later that day...?). lol. nothing is set in stone. i hope manziel starts monday and whatever he shows puts an end to this bullshit. like hoorta said i really doubt hoyer would be such a bitch that he would cause a controversy and raise a stink if named the backup.....i mean he's not from texas, so he's not a fag or a bitch.
The Gipper Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 But... But... But.... Connor Shaw is our 3rd string... Taxi Squad.
The Gipper Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Twitter is saying Hoyer could possibly be dealt? What the fuck? "Twitter is just any douche bag with a cell phone".
miktoxic Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Let the dysfunction begin,.... i saw that yesterday on his show. dude is a serious racist (yes black people can be racist too). wouldn't give up the fact that rory is the new king of golf and tiger is done. called the browns a joke. never been to playoffs. i was hoping he'd get bomblasted by browns fans and have to react today.
