Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do with a decent offense. Would rather take a flier on him than see massage man back in there.

Probably.  It's an interesting take but doubt it will happen.

oh ya, I agree, bring him in, we got nothing to lose

[Marvin the Martian]

Bet we can get him for $200 million for 5 years and no draft pics.  Our front office is brilliant.

I don't see any real harm in signing him.  It would be a cheap contract...a prove it deal.  Bring him in now to finish out the season on the team, have all the off season, then see how he does in camp.

Makes sense.  Teams seeking playoff insurance.

Yes. Interesting that the a Ratbirds are looking. He's probably a "plug-n-play" if Lamar goes down, similar traits.

😆 No worries because I'm clearly no QB expert; and I liked your reasoning behind where you are coming from.   

FWIW, way back in the 90s when I heard the BB wanted Testaverde - my 1st thought was UH-OH!  My dad asked me are you certain the problem he's had wasn't more the TB Organization than the QB?  After he arrived in Cleveland; it wasn't that much later when he led us to an 11-5 record which wasn't perfect by any means. That said, he proved he could win in a place north of what was once considered NFL QB Hell down in Tampa where guys like Doug Williams and Steve Young were considered failures by the locals.  Testaverde ended up making Pro Bowls shortly after Cleveland in 1996 and 1998.  He even led the NY Jets to an AFC Championship appearance out in Denver in what turned out to be a 21 year career.  When Coaches like Belichick and Parcels wanted the guy to be their QB - that's high praise from HCs that won/participated in multiple SBs.  All that to say - what do I know?

In this topic, I was just poking fun at the luck of the Browns with the QB choices that are/will be available given our situation. When the Browns played the Giants - Daniel Jones probably played his best game of the year.  He locked onto to the rookie WR from LSU (Malik Nabors) where the game plan from Brian Daboll and his OC kept getting him their isolated dream matchup with Emerson.  Even better, Jones kept feeding him accurate passes.

If I had to talk myself into warming up to this kind of move - I'd remind myself this offensive coaching staff got more out of Flacco than the Jets before us and the Colts after us did. And now Crablegs at least shows us he can beat hated division rivals like Baltimore and Pittsburgh.  Maybe the offensive coaching staff is better at working with humbled veteran QBs like Flacco and Crablegs.

A guy that goes by "Sad Big Mike" has sources? 

🤣

[USFBrown]

It would be hilarious if he went to the Cowboys.  Cowboys plays the Giants next week.

Part of me is somewhat shocked by the amount of love at the idea of the Browns signing Daniel Jones, but then I remember that ol' Danny Boy has that certain one attribute that so many people on this board crave, so I kind of get it.

I'll take the bait.  What attribute are you alluding to?

I would think his height, build... And he's pretty accurate in a clean pocket I'm guessing...

That he’s a respectable human being and not a perv?

Who are we going to cut?   The brain-trust seems to love keeping DTR on the roster.  And Winston just beat the Steelers.

Bailey Zappe, or one of the 3rd / 4th RBs (Foreman / Strong)

so a team pay's around $350,000 for the rest of the year, O'K then he leaves your team at the end of the year and you get a compensatory pick, not a bad deal for some team

There are examples of QBs who were cut and even paid to not play on the team that have done well just this year:  Wilson, Fields, Darnold come to mind.  Baker was let go by many teams.  Geno Smith is another 

I'm not saying it will work out but there's no denying the Giants are a dumpster fire of an organization.  Jones may turn out to be a serviceable QB in the right system.

Bailey Zappe,

Of course, what was I thinking?   So you bring in Jones as 3rd string until maybe as the season is ending he can be elevated to backup.  And, in theory, by season's end you can tell if he's worth keeping around.   I guess that sounds like a plan.  But I would think that would probably be rather low on Jones' priority list of situations to go to.
