That's cool C...I still keep the qb and not worry about not having David McMillian....but that's just me.
Soon enough we will see what the Browns decide.

I totally disagree, he is staying. The browns typically carry 3 QB's, unlike the stinking ratbirds from baltimore.
Ruining QB's since 1999.

If you carry an "emergency QB" on your roster, it allows an extra roster exemption. You can decide to bring in the emergency QB at any point during the game, BUT once you do one of your other two QB's has to sit out the remainder of the game (provided it's not before the fourth quarter). Once it hits the fourth you can do whatever you want with QB's.
What the Colts do (but may change this year at this early on because of Manning's injury) is not bother an emergency QB.
You don't "carry an emergency QB on your roster" per se.... you are allowed to designate any existing player on your current 53 man roster as your emergency QB for that Gameday. That player is then allowed to enter the game as your QB even if they are not listed as Active on your 45 man gameday roster.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

As this thread progressed and all made their case. I could agree that if we needed another roster spot with our OL prowess we could got to 2 QBs.
But to counter that this case was made:
"If you don't have a #3 QB, it means you have 8 inactives on gameday instead of 7*. "
So true...so yes, you would gain a little more Choice in who would be the 8 inactive players. But it lessens the value of the importance of that roster spot as in the active 45 players wouldn't really change much. Also to note there might be a couple of young raw talents that unless forced to play due to injuries we just might want them to be on our Inactive list cause it leaves open the option of going onto the practice squad the following year (eligible requirements) sort of like red-shirting.
I think that the value of not carrying the 3rd QB just has not been proven. The day it is then we will see most of the teams doing it. Cause the NFL has always been a copy cat league. Look at all the LTs drafted this year hoping they'll be the answer to their Offense like Joe Thomas...lol

Not trying to nitpick here,but Joe Torre was better than marginally good .just FYI:
Seven time all-star
1 batting title
.297 career BA
avg. 18 HR/ season
@ 87 RBI/season
those are pretty good stats for the mini-deadball era of the 1960s

Torre was one of the best players of his era.
He was NL MVP in the early 70's....maybe 72??

j/c
here is a clip from an article written about DA but then the last quote talks about Dorsey. I copied my response from the other thread.
Stallworth, who played with Brady in New England last season, can see that happening eventually.
"He's got all the smarts and all the tools to make all the throws," he said. "A major part of it is him continuing to work, and he's got some guys around him like Ken Dorsey and Rob Chudzinski to help out if he has any questions. He's got a lot of ability and potential."
This is the only reason Dorsey is with the Browns today and why he will probably retire as a 3rd string coach for us I mean QB. I think everyone knows Dorsey is too valueable to let go for somoeone who might, maybe have potential to be a good QB. Especially since eventually if it's BQ or DA we will have to groom another backup for 2 years after next year. I think the Browns know they need him for at least 3 more years maybe 4 if not longer.
Hunter + Dart = This is the way.

Not only do we keep em'...We most likely will need a VET #2 next year...
I would be utterly SHOCKED if both Quinn & DA are on this team in 09...
Anderson with that 5M RB due in February...And Quinn's accelerators that won't be met if he's still a 2...
8/7/2007: Signed a five-year, $9.25 million contract. The deal includes $7.75 million in guarantees. Another $11 million is available though escalators in 2010 and 2011 based on Quinn taking at least 55% of the snaps in each of the first two years (Most likely not happening) or at least 70% in his third season (Won't happen unless DA's gone). Another $9.8 million is available, but is unlikely to be earned. 2008: $370,000 (+ $4.3 million roster bonus due in March), 2009: $655,000, 2010-2011: $700,000,
I personally DO NOT want to be looking for TWO QB's next year...And surely do not want to burn a top 4 round pick on ANY QB...
Keep Dorsey and sign the VET 2...Done...
Go Browns!!!

Excellent point. Probably the most on point on why he won't be cut.
I also think Dorsey has fans in RAC, Savage, and Sherer. He brings a lot to the team, is good with the other players and is good with his role.
You don't just cut a guy like that unless you have some other really hard cuts to make, and frankly, I just don't see a time for about 5-6 years where Dorsey isn't going to bring more value to the team than whoever else would be deemed last guy standing.
Dorsey has a spot locked for a while.

it be silly to let him go. he's invaluable for two reasons: he knows the system well. if we are in the terrible scenario of DA and BQ being out with injuries, though Kenny doesn't have the phyicals tools, he can still run the O; and, because of his knowleadge of the position and the system, he'll continue to be a great "coach" and mentor to the others. he's also a great locker room guy. the situation being what it is, there's no need to have a different guy as the 3rd stringer, and there's not a need for more backups elsewhere. if we need more bodies in any other position, they should be an upgrade at starter, not the bench, in which case, we'd cut those at the end of the line at that particular position in question.

I think Dorsey more than proved, against the Giants, that he's at least serviceable. If he's got players that can catch the ball he looks good, if the OL protects him he plays good. (not great but good enough to move the ball.) Also as others have said, he knows the system and is almost like a player/coach.

Yeah I think the Giant preseason game proved that Dorsey was not as "Worthless" as some think and frankly probably One of the Best #3s in the NFL if not the best.
But also what the Giants game did show is how fragile a QB situation could be. I previously stated due to the prowess of our OL we might not need a #3 as injury risk would be a minimum...and there with DA only getting hit once hard - bang - a concussion and out a game. Please note in 06 with our mediocre OL DA did end up on the IR after 3 starts. So he is not immune to injury - so throw out that theory of never seeing our #2 let alone our #3 in action.
I to agree with Dawg in Dayton and always did subcribe to that theory...One of the 2 QBs will be gone...more than likely we will invest in a 3-7 round rookie (2nd day investment) that will have to be nurtured along again escalating the value of Dorsey as our starter should be too busy honing their skills to be mentoring a rookie.
JMHO - no question in my mind now...Dorsey stays.
