1.Colt McCoy 37- nobody on this list deserves a Browns Super bowl appearance more
-
Joe Flacco 38- nobody on this list knows and hates the AFC NORTH more
-
Nick Foles 34- Bro took Philly to the title under similar circumstances
-
Matt Ryan 38- Only former MVP under 40 on this list
5 .Cam Newton 34 Youthful by the standards of this list
6 .Tom Brady 46- twitter says Browns have already reached out
7 .Drew Brees 44- facilitates seamless transition to qb coach?
- Philip Rivers 41 5-7 record in the playoffs- still 4 more wins then CLE has in the last 24 years
In addition, the following qbs could be pried from their team via quasi-legal tampering or practice squad signing:
1.Ryan Tannehill 35- Our best hope. Hopefully Moneyball analytics respects his game
-
Jimmy Garappolo 32- two year 8 figure contract and his current team isn’t eliminated yet. Unlikely.
-
Kellen Mond 24- the most likely signing(and also the most useless)
I don’t see anything happening before Sunday, Nick Foles or McCoy, and Ryan are my best options really. If by some miracle some decent spot starter is cut, then we probably take them no sweat. Unfortunately this wasn’t even a possibility in our minds 3 weeks ago when the trade deadline hit. Otherwise we probably trade for a Brissett or Garoppolo.
Let’s give DTR one last shot to prove his worth. That will really help decide who we go get. Foles is the shot in the dark for some old magic (and pray he’s got some 2017 magic still in the tank somewhere), McCoy is the safe option (to be QB 2 or 3), and Ryan is the theoretically best option (to hope that 2022 was just a bad year for him and he’s got more left in him than we thought).
