    Josh McCown Starting for Browns Week 2

    RG3 has "potentially serious" injury to non-throwing shoulder

    Biggest beneficiary could be Gary Barnidge, who was a Top 5 fantasy tight end while having a great rapport with McCown last season, but who was shut out on the stat sheet with Griffin under center in Week 1.

    Unfukingbelievable. As a lifelong Browns fan, watching all these young QB's tear it up yesterday including Wentz who we could have had and we have "Unbreakable" RGIII... Dammit.

    I don't think I disagree, offense may run more efficiently with McCown. Unfortunately, defense may be one of the worst of all time.

    Cleveland is the worst franchaise in NFL History. One playoff appearance since their inception in 1999 and that was a loss.

    It's gonna help my FF team, drafted Barnidge who gave me zero pts yesterday, but luckily still won easily. I was thinking about having to make a trade, but think Barnidge will return to stud status with McCown back in. Browns gonna throwing alot, after the horrible start, Barnidge could end up being a Top 3 TE by season's end.

    Things have not been good ever since Modell moved the team. He won with the Raven's with Browns players. But if you go back to the late 40's, 50's, 60's and 80's the Browns were the model franchise in the league. Too bad most of the people following back then are now dead.

    Don't worry, the Browns will get Deshaun Watson in next years draft.

    I also think the Browns are better off with McCown. I find it interesting that the line moved from Browns +4.5 to +7.

    It's part of the sunk-cost fallacy.

    People who set the spread assume because their high-paid designated starter and former #2 overall pick is out, that the Browns are likelier to lose with McCown whom went undrafted and is the designated backup. But that is foolish thinking.

    McCown is better than Griffin, which isn't saying much.

    Thing is McCown is not a typical "backup" in that he would have been starting if the Browns had not invested so much in RG3. McCown is the better QB and he is familiar with the offense after starting last year.

    ** C is 1-7 when starting. His lone win is when he played the Ravens last year. Don't sleep on Mccown there is a reason why cowboys wanted him and Browns didn't let him go unless they paid a high price but don't get buried in the process.

    McCown in his prime was good, but age concerns. According to the Browns RG3 outplayed him significantly in practice.

    The reason Cleveland didn't pimp McClown too hard for anything they could get out of him or get out from underneath his contract, was they assumed this was going to happen. I think the Browns let the best QB they had go at the end of camp. Austin Davis. This McClown is the best QB that can't win a game. Accurate most of the time. Just never wins. He is a way better QB then RG3. He is as injury prone as RG3. Should of kept Austin. If they go to Kessler they are hurting. Totally possible. Bet the Ravens to put the wood to the Browns. I have only seen one team that was as bad as this one and that was the year Art was selling out and moving to Baltimore. He stripped that team bare of all but one player, Metcalf. This team is not going to win 3 games. The only way they win is when the other team beats itself. Get on board-Don't think for a second this team is functioning at a pro level. They have NO talent. You just can't compete with what Hugh has to work with. Good coach, likeable guy was pissed when the Raiders ousted him. I watched these guys practice, they are bad!
