I am not one to normally look to trade out of a position but the thought came about when I notice a fellow huddler mentioned it is possible all the really big names at big positions we need are gone.  That got me thinking about #12 since Cleveland has 2 picks in round 1.   For that scenario to occur Cleveland would have to pick someone else other than a QB at #1.

You know Cleveland would like a QB and if one is available at 8 they might be willing to trade up to get him.

If we were to trade down what would we get in addition to the 12th pick?  I don't have the chart that tells a fair exchange.

At 12 who would be worthy of that pick?

Or how about Joe Thomas and the 12th pick?  Would any of you do this?

No fugging way they trade Thomas.  They got crucified for dismantling that OL (minus Thomas) and got the QBs murdered this year.  Especially with them getting a new QB, the last thing they want is the kid to get David Carr'd 

 

That being said. Say Watson is sitting there.  I'd be baiting the crap out of Arizona.  You know they are drooling over him (has put on shows there the last 2 years in the playoffs) And they need a QB bad!

If we did move back, what kind of pick do you think we'd get in exchange for doing so? A 2nd or a 3rd? Should we ask for a pick in next years draft? Cleveland is in a position to make such a deal because they will have a surplus of picks for the next couple of years.

As for Thomas, I like that original proposal, but I doubt the Browns would risk doing that. As they guy brought out above, the last thing you want is for your rookie QB to get destroyed behind a crappy offensive line.

They'd have to include Veldheer or Humphries for me.  Quite frankly I can't see why they would want to keep Veldheer.  They are cap strapped and his number shoots up to $10 million this year. Humphries simply can't play RT but they did invest a 1st in him.

Not sure if they'd give up one of those 2 players.  But we've seen in recent years.  If a teams Needs a QB and a guy they fall in love with is there, they trade the bank.  Could get a 1st rounder or this and next years 2nds

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
