If the Browns want Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, it will take at least a first-round pick, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio. If they want his backup Kevin Kolb, it would take two first-rounders, according to Comcast Sports Net Philadelphia.
Postering..however they place more value on Corn-on-the-Cob than McNabb..but I wouldn't shell that out for either.
Unproven backup QB?
U'd be good to get a 4th from me..

The Eagles say it will take 1st round, reality is most likely lower. Unless they are fine with holding the 3 QB's (and they may) I don't think they are in the drivers seat.

Heres a thought Instead of worry about Kolb or McNabb why don't we trade for Matt Flynn (Packers 3rd String QB) He is good kid, and he is 6'2 225 pounds...he is in his 3rd year out of Louisanna http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11443He hasn't played very much...only has 17 pass attempts in his 3 year career. However the little bit I seen of him he has a big arm and his accuracy above average The kid could make all the throws required. Holmgren plucked Hasselback off the Packers when he left to go to Seatle(he was GB 3rd string) why not do it again? This will give us a quality QB that Fits Holmgren's system that is only 24 years old that we can move forward with We can then focus our 1st rd draft pick on the Defensive player guys like Attack and other covet. I believe Flynn could be gotten at a reasonable price, and hes young. why not?

Here's a thought, why dont we bring in that Derek Anderson guy in for a visit? He's still young, has a rocket arm, was a pro bowler, and had no weapons/system in Cleveland.....Oh Wait, Nevermind.
AKA we dont need a 3rd string qb from another team to come in here and start. People use your heads.

Derek Anderson is -- and always has been -- a gigantic ass. I know some of you can't believe his comments, but I can, he's been bitchy before. I seem to recall him being sour about something a couple years ago and mouthing off. Or, maybe it was just him crying about how pathetic we are.
Hey, DA, haven't you heard about pointing fingers? That's right...there's three pointing back at YOU when you point one at us. Of course, I've got two aimed at ya right now.
Ass.

Why Hasselbeck was 3rd string behind Farve before Holmgren took him to Seattle
I guess Hasselbeck was only a 3rd string QB right...how bout Tom Brady?
Flynn has thrown 16 passes in 3 years....I mean he was behind Farve, and now 1st rd pick Rodgers who has played well enough not to be benched
Flynn has never even really gotten a chance to play.
I have thought very highly of Flynn since the year he came out. I thought he was a QB that needed some work, but he had the physical talent to do the job.
The Packers already pretty much run Holmgren's WCO
Flynn has 3 years in that system already...he is young...were not going to the playoffs next year, so here is our chance to let Holmgren Groom Flynn as his next Hasselbeck while we build pieces elsewhere..
how can you say Flynn stinks when he has hardly played...you can't judge a QB from 17 passes....No one knew who Hasselbeck was...he hardly played either...but he stunk right
Flynn is a "proto-type" WCO QB....he is "perfect" for What Holmgren whens to install here...and we could probably get him for a 6th rder...
why not take a chance on the kid....Even if he doesn't start this year..let him sit behind Wallace for a year
Wallace and Flynn sounds better to me then anything that has to do with dellome
atleast Wallace with Flynn has upside and is young....

in case you didn't know, flynn is a guy that is rumored to be looked at by MH as a potential guy to get through trade. it is not outside of the realm of possibilities and certainly not so far outside the box that your attitude was necessary. <edit> and in case you don't believe me: Quote:
Quarterback update: Who might be on Mike Holmgren's radar screen as he pursues one or more quarterbacks through trade?
A league source speculated on that subject. The answers might not excite Browns fans, but hear them out.
Holmgren may make a pitch to Seattle for backup quarterback Seneca Wallace. The quarerback-maker would prepare Wallace as kind of an interim quarterback to assist the Browns' transition to Holmgren's preferred style of offense.
Wallace has been Matt Hasselbeck's understudy in Seattle for seven years. He was an athletic marvel coming out Iowa State in 2003 and was used early on as an emergency receiver until Holmgren gradually developed him into a competent quarterback. Holmgren took great satisfaction in Wallace's progress under center.
Wallace is under contract through 2010. While new Seattle coach Pete Carroll has said he is pleased with Hasselbeck as his starting quarterback, Carroll may view the backup position as a target to groom his eventual starter, making Wallace expendable.
The source also sees Holmgren possibly showing interest in Green Bay backup Matt Flynn. Flynn was a seventh-round pick in 2008 and is not going to unseat starter Aaron Rodgers any time soon. But he's been exposed to a variation of the Holmgren offense. His availability is unknown.
The theory with this plan is that Holmgren might add a developmental prospect in this year's draft, but he would amp up the search for a permanent franchise quarterback in the 2011 draft.

The reason Flynn lasted to the 7th round was because he does not have a strong NFL arm.
I swear with all the OSU fans on this board, you would remember a player from LSU, even if he was not named JaMarcus Russell.

I'm sure the guy that signs his check was pleased to hear him say.... He's coming in to do what he's done.  Have mercy! Somebody should tell him he needs to get better at what he's been doing.

i agree. so do others: Quote:
Now, the stage is (maybe) set in Arizona — Matt Leinart or Derek Anderson? It’s Hot Stove NFL in March.
The latest out of Cardinals Camp from today’s conference call with the media is coach Ken Whisenhunt’s comments that Leinart has “earned the right to be ‘The Guy.’” In a similar vein, Anderson told reporters it’s “understood” he’s coming in as the No. 2 to push Leinart.
But NFL Network analysts Jamie Dukes and Rod Woodson are in agreement that it’s Anderson who will ultimately win the job.
“I believe Whisenhunt will give Leinart every opportunity to win the starting job,” Woodson said. “But you brought D.A. in for a reason. … At the end of the day, they’ll have an open competition going into training camp. But I believe Leinart will be the starter when the season starts, but somewhere along the line this sesaon D.A. gets a shot and doesn’t let it go.”
Meanwhile, NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora added an interesting twist by reporting the Cardinals might not be done and could add another veteran quarterback to round out the competition.

That has Scott Mitchell written all over it.
I thought the same thing about DA. Not the 2 first rounders but one year wonder. Arizona just lost Boldin and a few of their best defenders in an uncapped year. Looks like Bidwell is going back to his cheapish ways and the Cardinals are going back to being perrenial losers. Im thinking that Leinart isnt too happy hes taking over the reigns when the team is losing very good players. I can see him as a player that will complain about losing players rather than being the guy to step up and be leader. Especially since most of his success has been from having superior talent around him in college. He took bad advice from Carrol and should have left college a year earlier.
It will be interesting to see DA and Fitz together. Fitz likes going up for the ball and making plays, like 07 DA. I dont think hes going to like DAs ankle-seeking missles. Ive contributed alot of DAs 07 success to Edwards and Winslow bailing him out on great catches. DA will get that guy again in Fitz and they have a decent running game coming along.
I wish him well, other then when he plays Cleveland.

Indeed, they'd better do just that. If Good DA shows up they'll be on fire, if Bad DA shows up they're doomed. There's no middle ground with that one. I kind of like that about him but I'm really glad it's not our problem anymore.

Looks like he's still talkin'. Link Anderson seems to think Browns gave up on him too soonPosted by Mike Florio on March 18, 2010 2:23 PM ETAs quarterback Derek Anderson settles in with his new team in Arizona, he's still talking about his last team. Regarding his failure in Cleveland, Anderson seems to think that he should have gotten more of a chance to keep the starting job. "We had a lot of change and it was kinda hard," Anderson told KTAR in Phoenix (via SportsRadioInterviews.com). "You kinda stick with the same guys over time and let everybody progress. It didn't exactly happen. I'm just happy that I'm out of there and headed to Arizona." So he's essentially saying that the Browns shouldn't have benched him after a sluggish start to the 2008 season in favor of the guy for whom they gave up a second-round pick and a first-round pick, Brady Quinn. As we've previously said, probably six or more times, the Browns should have realized after the 2007 season that Anderson's strong performance was fueled by the fact that everyone expected him to be benched for Brady Quinn eventually, which allowed him to play loosely, and with confidence. And then they should have traded Anderson. Once 2008 started, Anderson was looking over his shoulder, and it showed up in his play. Of course, he got another chance in 2009 after Quinn was benched. But a string of starts including full-game passer ratings of 15.1 and 10.5 meant that it was time for Anderson to move on. Maybe Anderson will play better in Arizona, given the presence of receivers like Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston. But he should never claim he didn't get a fair shake in Cleveland. He got more of a chance than he ever should have received, and he ended up making a lot more money than he ever should have made.

Not defending him here, but he has a point..
In his time here, how many changes were made.. a ton so it's not like much around him was consistent..
But really, he should shut up and move on with his life... really...it's time.

if it were me, i'd have a lot on my chest that i'd need to get out. better he says it now rather than when he was on the team. that said, this was some interview so if they ask him about cleveland, he's gonna say something...
i'm still waiting for details on when he had to deal with winslow/edwards and hopefully get some inside info from that time period.

agreed. i'm just saying, he's asked on a radio show about cleveland, i don't think him answering the question constitutes him not letting go. i agree, some people would just say that it's behind him and is focused on the future but if he answers the question, i wouldn't think he's dwelling on the matter.
like i said, i want him to keep talking, honestly, so we can get some inside views on what happened intenerally between 2007 and now.
