Last seen slinging it for Orlando in the AAF ....... 3rd string QB done

 

Highest graded QB in that league if it means anything .....former Rams 6th round pick

I dig it. I like the upside of Gilbert compared to Stanton, that's for sure. Gilbert was honestly balling in the AAF and has some limited NFL experience, so it's not a Shane Falco type situation.

 

he was on track for the league MVP apparently, so maybe more than a camp arm.  like how dorsey is stacking depth vets and youth at every position...the playoff push is serious this year.

someone already mentioned him on this board, and it seems like a no-brainer - a few other teams were interested, the Browns apparently outsmarted those other two teams I read about.

Rob checking out the nob, that makes you gay 

Ya, we have nothing against Homos here, Rob, but if you start trying to convert the members, and their members ... you'll have to go.

as someone that watched the AAF, Gilbert was definitely the best QB

I didn't watch, but it's my understanding that the QB play in general was not good.

(his highlight reel isn't overwhelming)

Some teams were just completely unwatchable because of their QB situation (see: Hackenberg). It was impossible for them to be competitive.

Others though were very solid, with flashes here and there. That included Gilbert. I think it's a smart pickup

listened to a interview with Gilbert on the boat today. Gilbert was almost home from Fla., to his wife & fam in Charlotte,NC till his agent had Gilbert on the phone with the browns getting him on a plane to Cleveland the next day..He's excited to hook up with his good HS friend Baker & trust that this team is headed in the right direction.Thrilled he's getting his chance & thanks the AAF for it..seemed like a solid,respectful dude..

This dude has Cody Kessler and Bruce gradkowski syndrome written all over him. I’m sure if Charlie Frye would’ve went to a new start up league after the browns cut him he could’ve looked brilliant for 4-6 games versus defenses that are less organized and talented than some college defenses

Don't know anything about him. Can't wait to get a look at him. We need football players on this team and Dorsey is getting them.....

Welcome Aboard the BB!! These kinda pickups can get tricky sometimes getting to PS if Gilbert shines in preseason games also. He's certainly a good camp arm, that could push Drew Stanton, that can't go PS..With the roster that JD has put together, there's really no room to carry 3 active QB's on the 53 man roster
