I've been thinking that we may need to upgrade at the backup position. The way we're built now as a possible playoff and division winner, I think we should address it. God forbid that Baker suffers an injury. But, right now its Drew Stanton and we should try to get someone who can play in what could be an elite offense. Is Stanton that guy? The only FA that has playoff and starting experience is Kapernick and he hasn't played in 2 seasons and would bring a lot of baggage. So is Stanton better than any FA currently available? What about McCown? I think he would be a huge mentor for Baker and could be proficient enough with the offensive weapons we have now.

I'm not trying to be snarky when I say this, but there's a thread on this from a month or so ago.

https://www.dawgtalkers.net/ubbthreads.php/topics/1599358/the-backup-qb

I'd be ok with bringing in McCown and having Stanton too. But, I think we need to draft a guy late that has potential - Minshew or Rypien maybe. I really liked Thorson until his injury 2 seasons ago - he never got back to his old self.

If i'm not mistaken, I think Stanton is 10-6 as a back-up, or something like that.....good enough for me...

My concern is that we don't RG3 Baker! If something happens, he gets injured, were in a playoff position and he's rushed back and it destroys his future.

Thankfully he doesn't have those twiggy RG3 legs.

I'm okay with just drafting a late round QB, preferably one that is somewhat mobile.

McSorley would be a stylistic option IMO

Thorson?

Think he's finally back healthy like when he was talked about as a 1st rounder.

No idea where his stock is now.

More importantly, he was a Lake Travis H.S. superstar, like Baker. Lol.

Nope. Texas and SMU. This is the guy that came into the National Championship game when Colt McCoy got his shoulder smashed.

Probably because of his AFF results. They were pretty good.

Don't you want to see him against NFL players before you decide? rofl

Gilbert showed some stuff in the AAF, but he definitely needs to speed up his processing.

Because basically anyone is better than Drew Stanton.

It's more about how he sees Stanton.


How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

I'm not so sure about that. All teams need extra arms in camp and if it turns into something more, then fine.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Drew Stanton is a below average QB.....like almost every backup QB in the league. The league only has like 15-25 viable starting QB's, so just about every backup is going to be not good.

Being not good and being horrible are not the same thing. Blaine Gabbert is not good, Drew Stanton is horrible.

He's like Josh McCown, but worse on the field.

I know, crazy right. It's almost like won/loss record is a horrible way to evaluate QBs?!?!?

From a post I made several weeks ago:

Quote:
http://pfref.com/tiny/tMwd3

His team averaged 20 points per game in wins. The Detroit Lions were 25th in the NFL in 2018 points per game with 20.

His team's defense in those starts gave up an average of 12 points per game. 12! To put that into context, the great 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense gave up ten points per game.

So yes, if we are going to have an all-time great defense (we won't), start Drew Stanton. Just in case we don't have an all-time great defense, I would prefer to sign someone who can be at least competent at completing passes. That person is not Drew Stanton as he has only completed 52% of his passes when his team wins (which would be dead last in the NFL, among qualified passes, behind Josh Allen).
