Send 5 drafts picks to NE for Garoppolo.

Honestly, the Browns should just give up on this season. Take some practice squad QB to be #2, and let Kessler play.

I don't think they have much choice right now. Even the best teams would struggle to win with their 3rd string rookie QB. So right now we've got two healthy QB's on the roster both rookies, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan. I guess they could always put Terrell Pryor back there if they needed to.

I'm pulling for a Kaep trade. On the other hand, the Browns could always try to coax Peyton out of retirement...

You have no idea the street cred that hack got winning the inaugural stadium opener against Green Bay.

The Browns just need to not panic. Don't go trading for a backup to start in Cleveland. They're not winning the Super Bowl this year, so get your rookies some work. Evaluate them. Go into next year's draft at #1 plus Philly's pick (Stranger has to root for the Steelers this weekend. Ha!) with a great idea of what you need the most and what you have with Kessler and Hogan.

Leisher, you got this exactly right, and I'm pretty sure the Browns feel the same way. With 17 rookies on this roster they were already all about getting rookies playing time this year. Plus the Browns have shown they value their draft picks more than anything else so they won't trade for one, they will pick up some washed up grocery bagger somewhere.

Now they have an excuse to play a rookie QB, although he looked like some poo poo was running down his leg yesterday when it looked like McCown was out. He's just not ready to play and he's gonna look terrible.

I must say, the first 10 minutes of yesterday's game was the most fun I've had watching the Browns for a LOOOOOONG time. And it looks like it will be the last 10 minutes for this year. Never thought losing Josh McCown would be such a ball buster.. Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

He'll blend in with the rest of the team just fine, then.

Dear god, that game was boring as hell until the third quarter got going. Also, Woodhead is dead. Torn ACL. Fuckity fuck.

NFL ratings are down.

Let the speculation as to why begin!

I'll say that I haven't watched an NFL game in full this year. I shut off the Philly-Chicago game last night before halftime.

I think ratings naturally go up and down. Right now you've got a warmer summer than previous years, a ridiculous election, concussions in the news, players not standing for the flag, Netflix, video games, etc. Not to mention all the football watching at parties that don't count in the ratings.

The NFL is fine. This is simply the MSM trying to hype up a story for clicks.

Cleveland's best WR breaks his hand in practice.

Again, just a thing. Don't panic. Nobody should have expected a lot of winning this year. Ride it out. Give Hue 3 years to turn it around, then evaluate where you're at.

First-round WR coming off a multi-TD game ... broken hand. No timetable yet, but you'd figure at least a couple months.

Chargers picked up Dexter McClusterfuck to replace Woodhead. Been waiting forever for a team like this to pick him up, but I think it's about five years too late.

Well, they picked up Whitehurst, so they're clearly not making a desperation play. Just let it go, put Pryor into the depth chart, and enjoy the draft picks.
