He must believe the Browns will trade or pick up a QB, or does he believe the browns are hinging their future on Hoyer?

If the browns are putting their future in Hoyer it doesnt seem like that would be the best play on their part.

I really do not understand why you have an opinion on every browns related topic.

I just couldn't imagine going to a steelers forum and having a comment on every thing steelers related.

Because he actually thinks by posting on this thread he is jinxing the Browns. Also the fact that the steelers thread has no activity probably plays into his post count here. I honestly never read his posts. Always about 100 words too long, because of all the unnecessary fluff.

Mccshay nor Kiper said anything about a trade up fwiw.

Why not? Football is football and although I am a steelers fan I follow the browns/bengals closely as well and know about their teams.
Just ignore my posts like that dickhead like_that if it bothers you so much.

Do you think what I said was incorrect? That the browns need a QB?

Just curious that's all. Just very strange every time something comes up on this thread, you're commenting on it.

I can see every now and then but it's seriously every time.

Here are the top 5 of each....I think I agree slightly more with Kiper



But I've thought all along that Jacksonville takes Bortles

Eh, its not every time.
Maybe just when something new pops up. Have lots of browns/bengals fan friends/family members and probably get to talk more about those two teams than the steelers.
I agree there are times I act like a dick and all, but for the most part I just like to talk about football, and being in ohio, on an ohio board, browns talk comes up alot.

KInda wierd there usually isnt as much bengals talk though. Guess there is just more talk when you are trying to fix a team than just trying to get over the hump like the bengals.
Believe it or not there is usually more knowledgable fans and legit talk on message boards like this as opposed to an all steelers, or all bengals, or all browns site. Those specific sites bring out all the whacko's and just too many retards.

Just get one of the 3 top ranked QBs. If they pick a tackle or a linebacker or any other position besides QB, they are doing it wrong.

Go all the way back to 1999 with Tim Couch. The browns have NEVER picked a good QB in the 1st round.

Kiper is without a doubt the biggest fraud out there in his field. He predicted Jake Locker being the overall number one pick that year....and now he says Johnny football does not belong in the top 25 picks this season. How he remains relevant is beyond the call.

Edit: read your post incorrectly, however I believe locker would've gone first if he didn't wait one year. I could be thinking of somebody else though.

If easily take bridgewater over manziel and I like manziel.

Mostly because I doubt there are many other people out there to take his spot! Plus.....after the pick no one really pays much attention to it and how right/wrong he is and since it usually takes 2-4 years to really know how overall the pick does it is all forgottn! Good they have McShay to counteract Kiper. ALmost like Kiper has tenure so they just dont even attempt to do anything no matter how wrong he is.

As much as I disagree with the way this FO handled the coaching situation, they've showed that they're solid when it comes to personnel, and I think they'll do a very good job in the draft.

RE: Kiper & McShay.

The Browns would benefit greatly if a OT goes second. I can't see a talent like Clowney not going in the top three.
I think Bortes is the best QB talent. But if they get Bridgewater that would not be bad at four, I hope Manziel is gone before they draft.

Now being reported that Manziel is going to be the number one overall pick. Makes sense. Houston desperately needs a quarterback and why not take a home grown kid that smashed SEC records for 2 straight years and was the first to notch a Heisman as a freshman. FML as a Breowns fan.
