Such a douche bag.

I think bibbs will slowly overtake the starting tight end role as the season progresses. Dude looked athletic as shit during the preseason

I agree I'm very high on Bibbs. Think we found a gem with him

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 2m2 minutes ago The #Browns are waiving Terrelle Pryor, source said. A surprise

Damn, waive that bum Moore and keep Pryor for Red Zone/gadget plays. Really dont understand this. Wonder if we're signing Montee Ball?

Adam Schefter Verified account ‏@AdamSchefter Browns claimed former Seahawks RB Robert Turbin on waivers, per source. Turbin recovering from ankle sprain, ready in a few weeks.

Cut Pryor for Turbin. Rather cut Moore/Bademosi/Houseler/Davis/Poyer

Back from Seahawks, who's currently injured and won't be ready for a couple weeks.

Why? You have an athletic freak who presents a nightmare match up and is dangerous in the open field. Doesn't take a genius to think of ways to utilize that with the Browns. Why not cut a guy who has not future with the team (Houseler, Davis, Bademosi, Moore) for the 5% chance Pryor helps the team in the short/long term?

I'm not upset he didn't work out, I'm upset we cut one of only potential weapons on offense, to keep some bums who wont be on our team next year, and wont contribute anything at all this season (Houseler, Davis). No vision, creativity, seems very Womangini/Mo Carthon/Chud to me. That's all.

Yeah, he sure has been tearing up the league his entire career /sarcasm. Waived a garbage player for another one. It's a lateral move. It's sad that Pryor was viewed as our most athletic option. Says a lot more about our shitty wr corp than anything else.

I guess it comes down to, would you rather have Davis 3rd string QB who wont be on the roster next season, Housler, our 4th string TE whom I would wager wont be on our team next season, or the potential of Pryor? If Davis is taking snaps for the Browns we're looking at #1 overall pick. Houseler has Leon/Little like hands. I'd rather take a shot with Pryor as a returner, gadget guy, 9 route, End Zone WR that can jump for the ball over Austin Davis. Do I think Pryor will turn into Calvin Johnson? No. Do I think he could help this team more than Houseler/Davis? Absolutely.

Pretty much this. Everyone listed in here besides Pryor is guaranteed trash. Pryor may also be guaranteed trash but at least has some potential at WR(not at QB of course).

Very true. Its possible he could come back to Browns after wk1. I saw someone tweet that, dont recall who.

For what it's worth:

Kevin Jones ‏@Mr_KevinJones 12m12 minutes ago Cleveland, OH Honest opinion on WR Terrelle Pryor: He certainly has potential but I really couldn't tell much a difference between him and WR Rodney Smith

In case you all are interested, Turbin's PFF rating last year on 269 plays was 1.2. 2.5 on pass plays and .9 on run plays.

Browns are great at evaluating talent, they have a great track record of it. I was wrong.

Wrong again, I said he was a top 20 player after they lost in the finals in 2014, not top ten.

Yeah, don't understand them at all. Those stats were made for nerds who never played the game to try and rationalize their nonexistent basketball IQ's. Just my opinion, maybe I'm old fashioned.
