Cleveland Browns Quarterback Position

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Why you guys army high on Garrapolo is beyond me.

Hugh loves a quick decision maker and that's what Jimmy G is with great accuracy and quick release. He has learned after great minds like Brady and McDaniels and lit it up in his starts this year. And no he's nothing like Cassel or Mallett. Jimmy G was a highly touted prospect who went in the 2nd round and learned and showed franchise level stuff.

System guy.

If he were that talented, New England would make him the heir to the throne.

But even if they thought he was talented enough they would have to cut or trade Brady which isn't happening.

Or have him sit behind Brady for a few years Ala Aaron Rogers and Brett Favre.

They wouldn't be able to afford both Brady and what someone is going to pay Jimmy.

Jimmy is a FA next year he's not backing up anybody. Brady plans to play 5 more years you don't trade the MVP. Nothing like the Farve situation

Brady is 39. I think they keep him 1 more year and he either retires or the pats get rid of him before the decline like they do with a lot of the other players they have jettisoned over the years.

Meh. I know the Pats have shipped off guys like Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins recently, but you can't put Tom Brady in that category. if Tom wants to play, it's gonna be with New England. In terms of them bailing on him before his decline, I'll believe it when I see it.

If Tom wants to play, he will play. They will NEVER jettison him, he is God in New England, and rightfully so. I think the Garoppolo situation will lend us some insight on Brady's own preferences in that regard.

My opinion is that Brady will not retire for quite a while, but he won't hang on and force an ugly situation. The guy is absolutely killing it, arguably a top 2 regular season for him this year. I think that indicates that they will trade Garoppolo before he walks, and the haul will be pretty minor, given JG's looming free agency.
 
Cousins isn't leaving Washington.
Washington Times, Thom Loverro, Jan 5, 2017

"Cousins harbors resentments about his time here in Washington, dating back to his anger about being drafted by Mike Shanahan in the same draft as Robert Griffin III to his second-class citizenship in the building while RG III ruled the franchise to last year’s lowball long-term offer from the team... Cousins was asked Sunday following the (game) if he wanted to return to the team to play quarterback next season. He said, “It’s really not my decision to make. They chose to tag me (last year) and the same is true this year, so if they don’t choose to tag me (this year) then I think that question is answered at that point."

Doesn't sound like a guy too interested in staying outside of being forced by a franchise tag

Hard to see Brady playing into his mid-forties. I mean, it's not impossible but I think it's unlikely. At some point he'll probably take a big hit or suffer one of those career-ending injuries for an older guy (Achilles, for example) and that will be that.

Well if he doesn't suffer a major injury I think he plays the 5 years he says he can. His game isn't based off arm strength which helps that. I'm sure in 2-3 years he'd still be a top 10 qb

There was a lot of love for RG3 on this board during the draft and years later he magically appeared on the roster. Then there was the whole Tank for Teddy season. Wouldn't that be something if he made his way here too?

Mike Zimmer says Sam Bradford 'earned the right' to be the Vikings' starting QB


Vikings coach Mike Zimmer sure doesn't sound like a coach who is ready to return his rental quarterback. He sounds like he wants to stick with Sam Bradford for at least one more season.

On Tuesday, two days after the Vikings' 8-8 season wrapped up, Zimmer endorsed Bradford as the team's starting quarterback.

"I think Sam has played great this year, No. 1," Zimmer said, per the St. Paul Pioneer Press."I think he's earned the right to be the starting quarterback, and right now all I'm worried about is Teddy (Bridgewater) getting better. ... Sam has done remarkable, the things he's done this year with all the things that he's had to do."

No, Zimmer did not give a specific update on Bridgewater,who tore his ACL and dislocated his knee during the Vikings' final preseason practice, which prompted the Vikings to give up a first-round and fourth-round pick for Bradford.

"Teddy is a guy that will do everything possible to get back as soon as he possibly can get back, and he would be a guy that I would never bet against," Zimmer said.

Given the circumstances, it's remarkable what Bradford accomplished this year. In 15 starts, Bradford completed 71.6 percent of his passes (an NFL single-season record, by the way), averaged 7.0 yards per attempt, and tossed 20 touchdowns and just five picks. His passer rating fell just a tick below 100 at 99.3.

Keep in mind, he did that without Adrian Peterson and a capable offensive line, which allowed the 10th-most sacks. According to Pro Football Focus, Bradford posted an 87.2 passer rating under pressure -- tied with Matt Ryan for the second-highest passer rating. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner also left midway through the year.

So yeah, Bradford earned the job.

This doesn't mean Bridgewater's career as the Vikings' quarterback is over.Bridgewater was never guaranteed to be healthy in time for the 2017 season and Bradford's contract expires after next year, which could open the door for Bridgewater to resume his role in 2018 -- if the Vikings pick up his fifth-year option.

The point being, all of this makes sense. The Vikings are not going to bet their 2017 season on Bridgewater's recovery from a gruesome knee injury when they have already have a good quarterback on their roster. Especially not after they traded a first-round pick to acquire that quarterback in the first place.

LOL...

We aren't trading Teddy...

No one even knows if he'll be able to play next year since it's a miracle he still has a leg, which is why the Bradford deal made the most sense since he was under contract for 2 years with a similar play style.

If he was healthy and game ready, they'd trade Bradford before they traded Teddy.
