OT Paul McQuistan

Recommended Posts

Just got cut by the Browns. Any interest on our part?

 

The Browns have terminated the contract of offensive lineman Paul McQuistan, who appeared in 14 games with one start in 2014. 

A 10-year NFL veteran, McQuistan was taken in the third round by the Raiders in the 2006 NFL draft.

Look,

whenever i see "ten year vet" my automatic thought is " as a stop gap"

 

If this guy can come in and be decent, as a stop gap until we either get a long term option or until we can groom one.. than sure

 

 

But its obvious hes not the answer..

 

 

 

what im hoping is, that just like defensive tackle a few seasons ago, it was a complete and utter fail and it was our biggest hole. we litterally had a highway for the other teams to run through right down the middle of our defense..

 

.. and in one draft it is now a strong suit to our team. lets hope a "star" falls in the 2015 draft

McQuistan is primarily a backup OG, not an OT. During his 3 years with Seattle (2011-2013), he did move to OT in a pinch due to injuries (last 4 games of 2011 at LT and filled in for injured Russell Okung for a chunk of 2013 at LT. He sucked as an OT, though. The rest of the time in SEA he played LG/RG, and he's not that great at OG either. For the Browns last year, he was a backup OG

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
