Talking ourselves out of, and back into, Josh McCown

Ever since the Cleveland Browns signed Josh McCown to be the team’s starting quarterback, we’ve done what every true and loyal Browns fan has done since Nov. 8, 1993*.

We’ve justified that this time the team finally got it right at one of the most-important positions on the field.

Starting with Vinny Testaverde, and rolling along through Mark Rypien, Eric Zeier, Spergon Wynn, Jake Delhomme, Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn, just to name a few, we’ve turned talking ourselves into just about anyone the Browns have lined up behind center into an art form.

But now, after reading Bill Barnwell’s annual All-Bad Contract Team at Grantland, doubts are staring to creep in after seeing the team’s starting quarterback: Josh McCown.

Head on over to Dawg Pound Daily to find the rest of the story.

Cleveland Browns veteran QBs have been bridge to nowhere

When the Cleveland Browns signed quarterback Josh McCown in February he joined a long, but less than distinguished, fraternity in franchise history.

McCown is the latest “bridge quarterback” who will try and help the Browns will while holding the quarterback position warm until the next great quarterback arrives at First Energy Stadium.

The Browns have tried to cross this bridge several times in franchise history – especially since returning to the NFL in 1999 – with less than stellar results.
