Browns QB options

[buckeyeboy]

Browns QB options include:
1. Stay with McCoy and give him better players around him- Not ideal, but don't want to "over spend" on other options that improve only one position.
2. RG3- not an option anylonger anyway, but this is exactly what I was mentioning above to have got to pick #2 was too much (IMO).
3. Flynn- again IMO he is going to demand way to much money. I mean really what has he proven? limmited starts (2?) on a team with many fantastic options (not exactly Cleveland's situation). Flynn signs with Seattle.
4. Whichever current QB Payton Maning bumps:
Not Kolb- Arizona out of the picture
What about Alex Smith if Maning ends up in S.F. (Smith is a FA but no way he leaves SF on his own. Smith resigns with SF
5. Draft Tannehill- Nice potential but with only 1 yr at QB. Considered 2nd round tallent that probibly will go in the 1st rd due to teams reaching because of limited options. I think no way is he our early 1st rd pick. I would prefer to get him with our #37, but doubt if he would be there then. Probibly would have to take him at #22 to get him. Wouldn't consider him myself before #22, but could live with him at #22.
6. Suprise long shot:
Vince Young, Josh Jonson or David Garrad-I haven't heard anything about any of these, but wouldn't they a FA possibility as a stopgap untill a long term option is obtained? Garrad signs with Miami.

Anyway, above are my thoughts. Jump in here and share your thoughts on this.

Screw Matt Flynn...I dont get the hype for this guy. He had one good game (in a loaded offense) and only 2 starts. Colt threw 5 TDs in a game in 2008...so what?

Screw Kevin Kolb...I think he's shown he's not really a quality starter. And he's not leaving Arizona anyway.

Screw Tannehill...dude has only started 19 games after playing WR, has small hands, and has accuracy and mechanics issues. He's a project and that's not the type of guy you take in the 1st round.

Young, Johnson, Garrard, McNabb, Culpepper, etc...bleh. Why bother?

I guess that leaves Alex Smith (and Matt Hasselbeck if the Titans sign Peyton). I don't think either is great, but I wouldn't mind bringing in either of them on a one year deal to compete with Colt. If Peyton signs with Denver, I don't see them moving Tebow.

Some options I think you've left out. They could take a guy like Wheedon or Cousins in the 2nd or 3rd. But I wouldn't, because I think we already have that guy on our roster and I don't see any value in spending another 2nd/3rd on a QB. We could use that pick to add depth at any one of several positions (O-line, RB, OLB), where we desperately need it.

But I completely disagree with you about the cost of trading up to #2. Yeah, it was a steep price, but that's about the only way you're going to get a franchise QB unless you get the #1 pick. What's the cost of NOT making that trade? And what good are those picks if you don't have a QB? The few good player we have are in the prime of their careers and we're wasting them.
