Rosen is considering pulling an Eli if the Browns want him
If Darnold pulls the same thing the #1 pick could be up for grabs...
Josh Rosen prefers Giants over Browns, would hesitate to enter draft if Cleveland commits to him
Spoiler!
Dorsey is in a tough spot. I don't think Smith would be an option for him because I doubt Dorsey or KC would want to do a deal with each other, and Smith probably won't want to go to Cleveland either. His only option could be giving Cousins $100M guaranteed or something. Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 12-24-2017 at 11:35 AM.. |

It's his life. Not ours.
I can't say I really blame him. Can you..honestly? Playing for the Browns, and living in the shithole that is Cleveland OH, would be a god damn nightmare. There's a reason why very few "good" prime FA's dont go to cities like DET or CLE. It's where player careers go to die. ESPECIALLY qb's. I don't need to show you the list. And don't give me the "Well John Dorsey..." BULLLLLLLLSHIT. The list doesn't need to be shown here. Qb's are doomed to fail there as soon as their name is called up on the draft day stage and they hold that Browns jersey up. I see no prob w/ this at all. If I as Rosen I'd simply tell haters to shove it.

They have a lot of pieces in place and they really just suffer from terrible coaching and QB play. The Browns will go 0-16 next week and half of the problem will be gone. Ben likely going to retire after this year, the Ravens are a .500 club and the Bengals are a gigantic question mark. Installing Kirk Cousins with Gordon, Colema and Njoku as targets behind a decent line and a better RB makes them an overnight contender for the AFC North. Those poor ****ing fans deserve a winner immediately. Not a bunch of horizontal passing. |

I still say trading for Smith makes 0 sense.
Keep Kizer. Let him start until the drafted guy is ready. Trust The Process. |

Mahomes is going to wish he had pulled the same move.

Cleveland us suckage. Get a legit coach and it will change. Pony up the coin for a proven winner and picks won't say this. Jackson sucks and is not that guy. Good luck Dorsey. He is climbing a mountain in that town.

When does it become the norm though?

I liked Kizer in the draft last year, but knew he would be an absolute disaster if the Browns started him at all as a rookie.
That's exactly what the Browns did and Hue made sure his confidence was totally gone. They ruined him and need to let him rebound elsewhere. |

The best thing the Browns can do is to make one playoff to give the city and the franchise something to be excited about. Alex Smith can deliver that. Kizer can't. You already have a draft prospect declaring he doesn't want to go to Cleveland. How do you think free agents feel? Last year, Jacksonville lost a ton of the free agents they wanted because they thought the franchise was a mess and so they had a ton of unused cap space. Alex Smith can bring stability to the franchise and he can do it right away, all while helping Dorsey smoothly transition to his offensive system and hire a coach that fits what he's used to (which will most likely be West Coast).

While making the playoffs would be nice next season, realistically, showing any signs of progress will likely be enough to make the fanbase excited. Getting a temporary guy who has no long term plans in being there, even to be a backup, doesn't make sense. Start Kizer or Kessler until the new guy is ready and get rid of the guy who shows he can't play and keep the one who can as the backup. I don't know if Hue is at fault and I don't know how much of it falls on Sashi Brown and Haslam. But the Browns are in a huge ****ing predicament regardless. You can't sell keeping Hue to the fanbase aside from a stability stand point. |

You can't sell Browns fans on another losing season. You can't sell Browns fans on yet another first round pick at QB. Alex Smith can make the franchise respectable immediately which will put a lot less pressure on whomever they draft this year to be a franchise savior. I'm close with many Browns fans. They are ecstatic about getting Alex Smith and they know exactly what he is and his limitations. They just want one good season to feel good about. The Browns have enough talent that especially with $70-100M in cap space (whatever they have), they can make the playoffs with Alex Smith. Very good offensive line, solid receivers, solid tight end, and an ascending defense under Gregg Williams. Trade for Alex then groom a new QB. The worst possible thing you could do is sell the fans on another year of Kizer. And given that Dorsey has boldly said they'll compete immediately, it doesn't look like he wants to do that either. |

I think there's some talent on that roster, but it isn't as much of an easy fix as say like McVay taking over for Fisher. |
