The exact quote..... the only qualifier there is "IF"."If there is a QB at #2 that is a best fit for our team, we need to go get him. It's my opinion we need a QB."
His quote, to me, pretty much says "sayonara Billy Football." It's good to see he realizes this is a major weakness on the team.HitsRus;1776315 wrote:The exact quote..... the only qualifier there is "IF".
I think we're going to see this team rely on the draft heavily, going forward. They may sprinkle in a few FA's but the draft will be their lifeblood.CCRolly;1776320 wrote: Hopefully we can get a legit WR or two in Free Agency/Draft.
And the Browns would have to be idiots to give up that much for an unproven starter. If Jackson signed off on that, I'd lose complete faith in him immediately. That would be almost as bad as the Palmer deal.Azubuike24;1776329 wrote:Reading on another board I frequent, and it was also mentioned in the Tweets on the original one, the rumor was a 3rd this year and a 2nd rounder in 2017 (if the Browns make the playoffs in 2016) or a 2nd rounder in 2018 (if the Browns make the playoffs in 2017).
However, the rumor probably originated based on Hue alone. I doubt the Bengals FO would potentially trade a future starter and reliable backup in the division.
...and I don't disagree. However, it's possible the Browns take a major reach QB at #2 and I'm sure Hue Jackson will get more than his input on who his QB is going to be. If he thought McCarron was worth it, it would mean something I'd think.BR1986FB;1776333 wrote:And the Browns would have to be idiots to give up that much for an unproven starter.

Oh, I agree that Hue will have a ton of input on it. That price, for McCarron, would be ridiculous.Azubuike24;1776483 wrote:...and I don't disagree.

Mccarron isn't good. So no I wouldn't want to trade for him at all. He's not a starting qb in this leagueAzubuike24;1776745 wrote:But would it, if you're going to take a QB at #2 just to take a QB at #2?
I mean, I suppose it all depends on what the projection on McCarron is. I'm sure it's all over the map. However, say he projects as somewhere between Ryan Tannehill and Andy Dalton? Would a 3rd rounder be unreasonable?
More like he projects somewhere between Ryan Tannehill and Andy Dufrasne.Azubuike24;1776745 wrote:But would it, if you're going to take a QB at #2 just to take a QB at #2?

I am sure you would love a 3rd for McCarron, but any person who isn't delusional knows he is not worthy spending a 3rd rounder. Just stop.Azubuike24;1776745 wrote:But would it, if you're going to take a QB at #2 just to take a QB at #2?

Well, he almost won a playoff game, and as we all know, almost ws enough to get Charlie Weis a 10 year deal. So, when your team is starved for something, almost is enough for you to go all in. Similar to how a lot of Browns fans bought in on Manziel after a couple semi-decent games.Laley23;1776786 wrote:Why do people think McCarron is good? I watched all his games started this year, he is not a good QB lol.
