I agree (it was frustration/sarcasm). However, I think the Browns might cut an upgrade over Plummer....but your second point is one I agree with too.

 

I generally don't think so. The Browns roster is basically multiple #3 QB's.

TBH, I’m in the minority, but I don’t think he should’ve been given this season.  This QB class of 2025 was not great, but Sanders would’ve been an ideal developmental QB to push Bryce, and in the case that he flops again (which I expect), he could’ve stepped in and probably done really well as a rookie.

I wanted the team to pick him once the fell as he did. Just wrote about it in another thread. We had pick 140, 5th, he went 144. 

I thought giving BY this season was the right call.. not sure its logical. because after looking at the stats (right after the draft). Hm. Did it "match" with what we felt during the end of last year. Not really. 

So you might be correct with BY not deserving another year. 

Guess we will find out.

We are running 4 of the starting 5 on the OL.  Which makes it basically a run of the mill normal NFL Sunday because rarely are you running your ideal group all season. 

BY’s offenses actually have a huge sample size.   And this one is checking all the boxes for a 3peat start 

Im specifically referring to the offe side line nothing about BY.

I think his oline drama is very knee jerk.... especially in the pre season with scripted calls and nothing situational.

Absolutely no positives today

Agreed if you really want to stretch that you could say the rookie kicker made his 50 yarder and Etienne had a few nice plays but that’s it

Also, to be abundantly clear, Jack Plummer has NEVER been a rosterable NFL QB. That was Huddle/Kyle Allen BS to the nth degree. 

It says a lot about our QB situation that people pine for guys like Allen, Walker, etc. Much less proven bums like Darnold. 

Poverty franchise thought.

I agree, I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if that was basically the reason.

They 100% don’t want a QB competition. They are giving him every opportunity to succeed, and rightly so.

Even if he busts, at least future QB prospects will know they will be given a real chance here.

Would still be nice to have a preseason guy that can run the offense with scrubs.  Plummer is not good enough to be that guy.

Plummer is butt.

I mean, given how we've utterly failed at building a competent football organization and how terrible Mayfield looked here before rebounding in Tampa... yeah, not sure if I'd call that a "real chance". 

If Bryce bombs again this season I almost hope he goes somewhere else and proves to be legit. Like damn, yeah it's really time to just move on. Tepper killed it.

We need upgrade this team after all 32 teams had to get down to the 53 roster. 

[PNW_PantherMan]

Companies spend money to have their name associated with this team.  That's pretty funny.

The Texans RB just took Henderson for a ride. Not a good look. Cut him.
