And it's almost all about what's between the ears and in the chest. Sure, some physical attributes but they all seem to agree... it's the beans

Brady, Homes, OMAHA- they had "want to"- SS is Ok with a C, we have four UGLY sisters at QB- we must address OL, WR- maybe deep dive QB- Brady was a 6th and Purdy a 7th....why can't we hit on one like that......Go Browns

Well to be fair - it is all of it. Heart, Brain, Arm. If you want a Peyton, Brady, Luck, Rodgers ... It was interesting to hear the order of importance. I have always said a cerebral QB who processes fast is my most important factor - the seemingly unanimous trait on the video was heart and 'want it' came in as #1.

Because according to their timeline they are once in a generation type finds. They were drafted 20 years apart.

this one?

Just wanted to say thanks for posting that video, informative.

If done properly as you are indicating, it's a very effective weapon in keeping the defense off balance. I've always been a huge advocate of play action.

If one considers it an actual possibility Harbaugh would come here I suppose. But both Flacco and Lamar were first round QB's. I highly doubt once Harbuagh watches the film on Sanders he will see that as some golden opportunity. People usually only gamble on long shots when they're desperate or have no choice. Harbaugh isn't desperate and will have choices.

If Harbaugh wants to come here I say you make him the king with complete authority over everything. No questions asked. He grew up rooting for the Browns now it's time for him to bring glory back to the Browns. Let him hire his own GM. He is bonafide. You do whatever it takes. He has the pedigree to change the culture instantly.

A lot of stink comes with this organization but…these guys have egos. Guys, like and especially Harbaugh, knows what the man who takes this franchise to the promised land legacy becomes. May not mean a ton to some but to a guy like Harbaugh it may just be the enticing challenge to go out on. Add a giant paycheck for your efforts of course…

Then again, he may want to sail out with ease. The giant check is there regardless.

Haslam HAS to make the attempt though.

Harbaugh draws a parallel with Watson and Lamar and says we use him for a season while we developing someone?

Wouldn't that same thing hold true for any team on the bottom wrung of the ladder who just fired their HC? I understand that Browns fans feel they are in some special circumstance here and for some strange reason they think that makes this different than other teams who have been failing. But I'm sure if you ask fans in any of those cities they feel the exact same way.

Oh I’m sure you’re right but…when I ponder all of that I have a hard time thinking of a franchise that has been maligned and laughed at being the butt of a lot of jokes by other fans and ESPECIALLY media like CLE.

I don’t really think he will give Cleveland much thought but as someone said above, we don’t know what’s motivating a man. Haslam still must take a shot. I believe it’s a must to put that out to the fans…”I tried”.

And he is injured in game 5, and out for the season ......

You can take Dante Moore off your lists. I'm not upset. Watched a couple games over the last few weeks and he looked like a project.

Aaaand another one to take off the list. Mateer heading back to school. I know some folks really liked this guy. I know little. It’s just not cracking up to be our year to grab a QB. I hope we drop back and pick up another 1st for next year in case (assuming) who we have doesn’t pan out:

Not sure what our FA budget is going to end up being this year... my understanding is that the have to dumpster dive for another off-season before our cap goes back to normal. I think we're in for another TC of long-shot FA QBs being given an outside shot of latching on.

What are folks' opinion of Tua? I don't watch any Dolphins games... he was good and then he wasn't. I believe their Oline regressed substantially(?).

Of Tua as a band aid or a permanent solution?

As a band aid I think he is good enough with a better OL and an actual #1 WR to increase the win total but not good enough to be any type of long term solution. But then again any QB ends up with better results when he has a better running game and pass protection by a good OL and better WR's. I'm not sure however if you find that very helpful.

I think the real question is what will the actual results of a better record be? I mean I'm sure everyone would feel better if we won 7-9 games instead of 3-5 games. That's a given.

But if we're looking to draft a future franchise QB in the following draft it puts you that much further away and far more costly to do so.

So it may be a case of the old saying "biting off your nose to spite your own face" in the end by actually improving the QB position next season.

Well, we could benefit from either a better band-aid and/or a permanent solution.

We've been trying to time the draft and tank for the higher picks for what feels like forever (or maybe we're not trying and it just came naturally). I'm kinda over thinking like that. Just build the team and the QB situation becomes incrementally easier to sort out (better supporting cast puts less pressure on the QB position).

I think we should all remind ourselves that Tua is one concussion away from being permanently cross-eyed.
