2012 Offseason: Quarterbacks

[MDLT]

I honestly think one of Matt Flynn, Ryan Tannehill or Brandon Weeden will be a Brown with the likeliest in that order...

Smooth - what are your thoughts on Kirk Cousins?

He is a taller Colt McCoy.

I would not mind Flynn as long as the contract is reasonable. Tannehill is too risky as a first-rounder. Weeden is intriguing, but only in the second or third round.

I think the Browns could look at Ryan Lindley in the middle rounds.

 

[bcort]

Matt Lienart was cut.. might be another backup option to compete against Colt.



...I bet I'm not saying a lot of fan favorites.

 

[Sly]

I'm just assuming he's going to Seattle. The Texans were supposedly high on him up until he broke his collarbone and Yates came in and played well though.

 

[Biw]

I'd be happy with a combination of Flynn and Blackmon at this point. Really disappointed at what it took to get the number two spot.

With plenty of cap space and a wealthy owner who wants to win, the Seahawks can be major players in free agency. So they could be looking to target two of the biggest names on the free agent market.

Danny O’Neill of the Seattle Times writes that there’s a strong buzz about the Seahawks going after Mario Williams. It’s becoming clear that Williams is going to break the bank, possibly getting close to $50 million guaranteed on a long-term deal, and whether the Seahawks end up signing him or not, the fact that they’re in the hunt is good news for the Williams camp.

And O’Neill also says the Seahawks may be players in the pursuit of Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn, who’s going to start making starter money somewhere. Although the Seahawks were reportedly very interested in Peyton Manning, all indications are that the interest wasn’t reciprocated. So now the Seahawks may turn their attention to Flynn, who has started only two games but looked impressive when he did.

A quarterback and a pass rusher are the Seahawks’ top two priorities in free agency, and if they can land either Williams or Flynn they’ll be happy. Land both and they’ll be ecstatic.

I just really don't want Matt Flynn so any rumor where he is going somewhere other than Cleveland makes me happy. Seattle would be great. Now Manning needs to go to Miami so Tannehill can potentially be there at 22.

thoughts on brock osweiler? anybody think he's worth a flyer in the second or third round?

 

[Sly]

When we get down to Osweiler territory, I think we're starting to talk about last resorts. He could be another Roethlisberger, or a dreadful waste of a pick when you look back on it.

I see a lot of DA in Osweiler for some reason (maybe cause they are both have big arms and are freakishly tall/awkward looking.) Don't really want him.

And I was a DA supporter in the Quinn-Anderson debates, but I don't want another Anderson.

3rd round maybe. 4th round I'd take a flyer on him.

 

[RealKingofCleve]

Count me as a Weeden supporter in the second. Tannehill is hot garbage and would be a waste of a first rounder. Might as well have gone balls out for RG3 if you wanna waste first rounders.

 

[The Oi]

The Browns should not be wasting ANY picks on QB's this year IMO. I know Holmgren has a boner for drafting QB's late, but Heckert has done so well across each round of the draft that I feel like...why waste a pick when he's proven he can pick out guys that can start as late as the 6th? How often does picking a QB in the second round work out? It can't be very often. I just think there's so many holes on this team that if there's not a franchise changer available right now, you just wait another year.

Assuming Flynn is not interested in the Browns, I'm about 90% certain I want Colt to start out there at this point. Just makes the most sense

Colt is pretty bad. I would rather go with him than waste a first on Tannehill or overpay for Flynn. But I think Weeded would be good value if the 2nd or even better 3rd. The only knock on him is age, which does suck but I think he would be a top 10 caliber prospect if he was 23.
