Mudfly Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Last game of the season + team suddenly needs a quarterback + NFL career possibly on the line. I suspect Shaw's been dreaming about this opportunity all his life. Shaw will be prepared if he gets the call. So Mister Potter......as a gamecocks and Connor Shaw fan, dont you think it's kind of unfair for us to play him now? I mean, dont you think he'd rather wait till next year and practice a little bit more?...maybe with the 1st teamers? I wonder if Connor is downright pissed off the Browns are forcing this game on him...! OR....is he a gamer who knows this is his chance and is excited for the great opportunity and a chance to man up and show his stuff? What say you?

TexasAg1969 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 So Manziel is officially out with a bruised labia, but Hoyer kept playing with a seperated shoulder and isnt ruled out this week? Got it. Johnny Franchise. Zombo Wrong on both counts. BH has a bruised shoulder and JF actually pulled the hammy on an earlier play, but tried to keep in the game hoping it was just a cramp. Pettine says it is a several week injury that would limit his mobility if he tried to play. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12067914/johnny-manziel-cleveland-browns-ruled-baltimore-ravens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusKing Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would start Shaw cause why the fuck not? Hoyer couldn't beat the ravens when our team was good so how can he beat them when we suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdl15 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Will the offensive line play better for Shaw? All of sudden the line will protect the QB and the running game that disappeared will be rejuvenated? IM sure that will be Johnny fanboys main argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdl15 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Like I've said before what made JF so much better than Conner Shaw?? Could be a Lee Sighs situation. I hope the kid wins an opportunity to compete next year. Unfortunately I think Brown's find their future by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 just heard the browns reached out to grossman and he turned them down. lol. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000448321/article/rex-grossman-turns-down-cleveland-browns Shaw is going to turn the ball over about 5 times. I'll laugh because you guys don't get it. Not sure y'all ever will. LOL, Manziel 18\35, 42 qbr, no TDs, 2 interceptions. I'd be surprised if Shaw does much worse. OK watched the little tape we had of Shaw in the Redskins game. Reminds me a lot of Hoyer, LOL. Not the greatest arm, but that can be improved some in the weight room. Not going to be able to turn a Ken Dorsey into a John Elway though., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see honcho. I'm not so sure though. I'd take that bet, unless you're talking outta your vagina. About 5 times, so 4 or more times, right? In Mik's famous words, a six pack. And it will arrive before New Years. You are drinking age, right? Your time's about up here chief. Why not go out with a bang? Laugh all you want at "us guys" as the door hits you in the ass. I think Pettine knows what's up, and l think he's gonna play his cards to make sure we get a look a Shaw because l think he sees something worth seeing. The guy looks left, the guy looks right. All he needs to do is make the throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I heard the coaches left handed praise for the kid. "well you might not be as strong or is fast or a smart as anybody else but he's got a lot of heart and we like that." Thanks for the ringing endorsement coach. Maybe there will be enough young guys on the bubble who want to make one more good impression and at least make it a fun game to watch.

bbedward Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Grossman come to Baltimore and take a beating for a team playing for nothing on a holiday weekend, or sit on a beach with a cocktail and his hot wife?

Exactly- as a 10+ year vet, if he hasn't been stupid with his money- he's already a millionaire many times over. Doesn't need the $53k that bad.

RoyceRolls Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Someone was asking what happens if shaw plays well.... IF shaw plays well the offseason discussion becomes more complex. You'll have the guys who will want him to be the new starter based on a very small sample size as well as guys who will say that he hasn't done enough to prove himself as a starter. Sounds eerily similar to some of the discussions going on last off season. Either way, fuck it, let's see what the kid can do. if he's a beast it's like hitting 20k on a 1$ scratch off ticket. If he's dogshit the ticket was only 1$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Were I a betting man, I be down for Hoyer starting. Guy's a gamer. Supposed to be a Friday decision. Were Shaw to play and look good, it might add complexity, having more options tends to do that, but should also add a little more fire to JM's off-season efforts. Then TC can sort everything out. I, for one, would enjoy a competition to see who is the best rather than who sucks the least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No QB is going to look good in this scheme, the book is out, penetrate the zone blocking and you stop the browns. I seriously doubt we can stop dumerville and suggs from penetrating. Over/Under 5 first downs by the browns offense on Sunday? I say under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as if that's a new angle just for the Browns... or just for the ZBS for that matter. It all comes down to execution. Put a healthy Mack back in the line and I like our chances. Speaking of execution... John McKay was once asked what he thought about his expansion, Tampa Bay Bucs' Offense's execution... "I'm all for it," was his reply.

Manziel is looking like a "oh gee I thought the NFL was just like college" doofus. Clarity is needed here. Shaw can't win the starting job in one start- but he sure can win a roster spot with a good showing. He plays well, it makes one of the other two very expendable.
