There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years. -PrplPplEater

I don't care much about his age... but that means he has less time to develop... what I worry about is his lack of experience under center. but from what i've read in the last 5 hours is that he's a pretty smart guy and quick learner. <>< #gmstrong

Everyone is saying we should have gone WR there, but there won't be a WR taken today before we pick. Unless you think we should have taken A.J. Jenkins, I don't understand the argument.

The way the draft played out with the players at the tackle and receiver positions, I think we are in really good shape to get a player that maybe we coveted at 22 anyways... The age worries me like everyone else, however nothing else about that guy does. He can make all the throws, he's a good leader, he's going to have a freaking animal behind him at running back, and he has the best LT in the game to protect him. I haven't always agreed with everything the Browns have done, but as far as who they draft I will always get behind them and give them a shot.

I wonder if the fanbase realizes how much risk there is in this selection... *Gordon, I really didn't think you could be this stOOpid, but you exceeded my expectations. Wussy. Manziel, see Josh Gordon. Dumbass.*

I think that I was the only one happy about the pick posting on the boards when je was drafted. DJ liked him and I had him mocked to us at 22, but of course I would have liked to get him later, but I could say that about most any pick we make So many are hung up on his age, because he might not play for us for 10 years, well his selection does not preclude us from drafting a QB in the next 8 years to replace him. If we didn't Draft him we would be at square 1 and be in the same boat next year. this pick will allow the team to be a year ahead in their development if he works out and this time next year we will be a year farther along and not necessarily in the market for a QB. I say necessarily, because if a great prospect was to fall in our lap (not likely unless we end up with the first pick in 2013) who knows.

I'd say our ceiling is 5-6 wins, 7 if we get extremely lucky. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say we'll be drafting another QB within the next 2-3 years.
