jcam222 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Is Josh practicing this week? Maybe that swollen hand is worse than they are letting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Actually the more reasonable speculation with a move this big is that: a. The Browns don't dare consult Farmer while he is suspended and b. this is a major decision not involving someone about to be fired not named Manziel. Really what has he done?

Tour2ma Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 If Farmer was going to be fired, why wasn't it done pre-suspension? Only thing that makes sense would be if Pet got in Jimmah's ear big-time as soon as Farmer hit the door... and I don't see that in Pet. Edit: Or has Farmer violated the terms of his suspension? I'm sure Farmer trusted Kuharich and his assistants to make any personal moves they deemed necessary in his absence, and said as much before he got shoved out the door to watch Sunday Ticket at home. As others intimated, it's the timing that's perplexing. Hard to see the urgency around a one-year extension of a third-string QB that could not wait a week. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope its the "good"!!!!!!! I honestly see both scenarios as "good"... the only bad would be the current, perpetual state of limbo.

cdl15 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I predicted Austin Davis would be the starter eventually. Since 99 the Browns have started the 3rd stringer like 75 times. And some seasons had to go 4 deep. This prediction was not a long shot by any stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Since 99 the Browns have started the 3rd stringer like 75 times. And some seasons had to go 4 deep. This prediction was not a long shot by any stretch. Since the merger the Browns have had to start 3 or more different QBs in each of these seasons: 1970 1975 1977 1987 1988--4 1992 1993 2000 2004 2008--4 2010 2013 2014 Only in one season before 1970 did they have to start 3: 1956 That is 13 seasons with 3 or more QBs starting. FYI....there have only been 9 seasons where just 1 QB started every game since 1970: Phipps 1 year Sipe 4 years Bernie 3 years Couch 1 year. The Browns have not had a single QB start every game since 2001 where Couch started all games his one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconHound Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 While the decision making of the organization has been poor at best if the talent evaluators believe he is better than Johnny or Josh then you make the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis seems like a reasonably qualified candidate with the ability to start for plenty of these teams. One does wonder why he was so readily and cheaply available. Or he wasn't and required a long term signing? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Agent maybe getting some calls on deals on who he represents? One does wonder why you so readily and cheaply available. Or he wasn't and required a long term signing? WSS So, here's the odd part.....Browns "kind of" implied that Davis(agent) reached out to them...here's Pettines quote.... "I'm not going to speak specifically on contract issues,'' said Pettine, referring to the fact the team hasn't announced it yet. "But Austin, as I've been very clear with here, is a guy that we liked. A lot of times those windows will open up, sometimes at the request of the agent, and if the two sides are in agreement that there's a window of opportunity to get something done, then you move forward and get it done. But then, Austin Davis says this..... "I didn't really know that they were going to reach out to try to get something done,'' he said. "Honestly, I was just happy to have a job. And then things kind of went from there." So, not that its a big deal, who reached out to who....but it seems odd to me that Pettine added that line in there about the agent reaching out.....kind of a deflection, me thinks.....not sure why tho....

Westside Steve Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sounds like the Browns had made an inquiry at one time or another and possibly another one of Davis opportunities shut down so they called the Browns? You do gotta wonder why he was on the street in the first place. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Interesting. About JM's height, can run, doesn't have a big arm..but smart. Broke all? of Favre's records at S. Miss. I think next year's Browns' draft will feature a 1st qb, and rounds 2-7 will be wr, lb, te, wr, lb, te.......... a lot like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I would speculate that if they trade Manziel this week the next home game will put Bottlegate to shame. The fans have wised up since- plenty of booing, I'd hazard a guess at. What's bottlegate? McCown to Pittsburgh makes sense. Would these teams ever deal with each other? Since you missed it W................ Started over a very bad ref call in the 4th quarter. I was at the game. Browns would never do a deal with the Steelers in season.

My suggestion, drink the beer and replace it with urine. I was at that game and had played a late gig the night before got a little bit drunk so the next day I was drinking Diet Pepsi in a paper cup. Nothing worthwhile to throw. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS The Refs got a golden shower as they tried to exit the field the first time, mostly beer- but I don't doubt there were other liquids tossed at them. I still can't believe the League office (considering the circumstances) didn't call a forfeit right then and there, but forced everyone back on the field to finish the game. AKA a "trucker bomb." Tour- I was in the lower deck- the empty plastic tossed from the 500 level was of no concern- but quite a few "trucker bombs" were raining down from the upper deck- fortunately, no fans in my section got hit with those piss filled missiles.
