She (the Great Lakes distributor) said every Browns Backers bar. Hawaii does seem to be a bit of a stretch.

This isn't a reputable source by any means but a thought provoking article.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/ktlincoln/soon-every-quarterback-will-be-a-rookie-quarterbac

That's the story of the 2012 NFL: when it comes to quarterbacks, potential trumps performance. In all likelihood, for example, the Browns' Brandon Weeden isn't and won't ever be a better quarterback than the guy that he's replacing, Colt McCoy. But he hasn't proven it yet. (Though he really tried in Week 1, throwing four picks.)

("If the Browns would've played McCoy on Sunday, they would've won the game," the former GM noted.)

Looks like that article came out before the Cincinnati game.

I'm with CoA on this one never really been a fan of Great Lakes beers. Still would be cool to try the Browns one and I'm not even a fan.

I'm not using it in the Weeden vs. McCoy context, I'm using it for the whole "unproven" vs. "proven low ceiling" and the trend that's emerged. I don't know of a solution, I see merits to both arguments.

I doubt they'd even be able to send it here. I don't believe you can. Or else I'd be having different beer sent here all the time!!

Yeah, he's jumping the gun a bit. I think they'll be erratic/inconsistent until about game 8 and then the second half of the year should be fun.

I'm hoping the light bulb goes off quickly for Josh Gordon. I think Little & MoMass will be OK and Benjamin can be used on gadgets but if Gordon gets "it", we'll see some offense.

Yea, we need a WR to step up besides MoMass. Would be nice if it was one of our 2nd round projects.

Cool article. Good to see optimism.

What do you mean by the "It's coming, people....." comment?

What is coming, a victory? Picking Browns over the Bills?
