Feliz cumpleaños!!! 

I don't know how many years is "officialy old". 

The more you guys talk about the repercusion of signing Cousins, the less I like the idea and the more I wish we sign Alex Smith. Even McCarron could be a better addition, as Hue loves him and we should try to keep content our dearest coach. 

The repercussion of signing Cousins would be having our franchise QB in place for at least the next 7 years. With free agents and the draft around him we are contenders in 2018. We have half a dozen drafts to find a draft gem QB to grow behind him if Kizer doesn't. To me it's all upside. Think about Cousins behind our line throwing to Saquon Barkley, Duke Johnson , Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, Coleman and Njoku. That's a football boner!! Name me the more talent laden offenses than that in total.

Anybody here want to say that Nick Foles is a better QB than Matt Ryan? I mean, the Eagles won that game. To win you have to have the better QB I thought? 

The sun doesn't rise and fall on a QB. It's a team game. A QB's job is just to get the ball into the specialists hands, ie. the playmakers. That is all a QB has to do, that and not give the ball to the other team in the process of giving it to our guys. 

 

I do agree you can win with an average QB at times. Having said that the Foles / Ryan comparison is not so good. I believe Ryan is showing significantly diminished skills.

If he's ruled an unrestricted free agent, all the Browns would give up for him is Jimmy's blood money.

It may be one of the reasons I am more for signing a FA vet QB...than making a trade. 

Smith....has to be trade.

Bradfords....only have to give him money.

McCarron...if UFA.....only have to give him money.....beyond that, Sashi may have gotten fired over it...but he was right not to give up a 2d for him.

Cousins.    I am in a quandry about him.  I just don't know. 

Also....Brees and Garrapolo are FAs...but I don't see the Browns making a move on them....or them making a move on the Browns.

Bridgewater and Keenum?    I don't know......solicit opinions on them.

To paraphrase  Archie and Edith Bunker:  "Mister we could use a man like Josh McCown again".

A controlling ground game allows you to dictate the flow of the game. That's what we need. All the incompletions that stop the clock allow for other teams to get more chances at making our youth show. 

This makes me conclude that you want the Browns to make sure Joe Thomas is back in the fold and that they draft an Offensive Lineman quite high.

Or....Nick Foles is showing his quality skills.   I have always like him...and thought he could do well....give the right circumstance.   I had wanted him for the Browns....but it is probably fair to say that the Browns were not the right circumstance.

I was high on Foles as well.. I'm not surprised he is doing well....

It won’t matter who the QB is. The Browns won’t win another game until Hue is fired 

He went 8-8 with the Raiders so there's that. Honestly the Hue hate is out of control. Is he the GOAT? No, and yes he does some dumb Sheet but give him a decent group of talent we will win games.

For whatever reason, PoG re-started a thread from five years ago a couple of days ago. Out of curiosity I read the thread, just to see who on here now was around then, etc.

Browns149 literally was saying the same thing about Pat Shurmur. In fact, I think saying that the current head coach should get fired is all that guy can post. :lol:
