I'm going to continue to call him Rat, b/c he is a failure head coach.

Solid backup in a west coast offense. Was kinda surprised in that Steelers game. Good luck, Thad!

Anyone think he'll end up in Philly? I'd imagine.

Way to Go decision maker whoever you are!  Roster officially Gutted! That's 13 or 14 recognizable players gone in the last 9 months. I'm used to it, it's the only thing this team does consistently! 
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Just because they were recognizable doesn't mean they made an impact. If they did we wouldn't be on coaching staff 1000 since 99

In all honesty Thad looked the most comfortable of any of our QBs last year (I realize he had much more time in the WCO).
Which reminds me, I'm SO glad we are done with that garbage offense.

This feels dramatic considering we waived a 3rd string QB

That's what I thought - I liked Lewis and thought he had potential but he's a 3rd stringer... not a huge deal.

There's alot of things I don't get!
But One thing I think I get is; Phil Dawson, is a classy, family man, who sacrificed family time, at least the last couple seasons in order to continue playing in Cleveland while living somewhere else.
He left on his own accord. There was nothing the Browns could do to convince him to stay. With the ownership change, it was just the right time. We were lucky to have him on the team the last 2 years.
Stuff Happens. Shane Graham is the kicker now, and we'll have to wait and see how he does.
This is all Just a Guess!
There are alot of Things I don't get! This is one thing, that I think I get!
The team would have liked to have kept him, if there had been any way. Are you kidding, he was GOLD as a kicker.

That was my point he didn't earn the spot, paytheman said this staff won't just give players spots without earning them.

jc...
It's remarkable how quickly Hoyer overtook Lewis, competing for the #3 QB slot...signed on Friday and immediately moved ahead of Lewis as the #3 QB.
Lewis likely knew he was not going to get a chance to compete for the job and that was just confirmed last evening when Lewis got dumped.
All Banner's talk about competing for a job...just BULL...
Anyone signed by Heckert or a previous front office it likely gone ASAP. The players know what's going on.
So who's next...Hardesty...Greco...Pinkston...Lauvao

Mac, we are talking about a third string QB (insert Iverson "practice" video now), not the competition that is going on to be the starter. How many reps do you think Lewis and Hoyer would have been given in TC to see who wins out? Yeah, I guess an argument could be made for preseason performance....but,
....clearly Lombardi wanted Hoyer over Lewis AND Hoyer actually has decent experience playing in the NFL. Lewis has played one game. I think that trumps any competition for who become the 3rd stringer who probably doesn't even suit up on game day. I think there is thinking from Lombardi that Hoyer can be a starter, but that's conjecture on my part. He's praised him before. Still it could be a reason why they signed him and why they were so quick to releasing Lewis. I really have no issue with this transaction. I think our QB depth increased by flip-flopping these two guys.

1. This is probably the least BLOW UP we have ever seen from a new Regime. There is no validity to any of that about Anyone is LIKELY GONE none at all! Just upgrades.
2. I got news for you...there is no such thing as a COMPETITION for the #3 QB. Hoyer n Lewis n anyone coming here aren't doing so licking their chops think...BOY OH BOY I'm going to WIN THAT #3 QB position...lol 
Fair competition??? I hope there is one going on in the Locker Room for the guy who hands out the TOWELS...I'm going to be real mad at Banner if he reneges on his promise of competition
Come on Mac...if this doesn't spell bias to the new Regime I don't know what does. THERE IS NO COMPETITION for 3rd string QB...thats a hire n fire thing.
Note the 3rd string QB is the guy with the Hat on backwards, with clip board in hand for taking stats n is always on the INACTIVE list. So just tell me JUST WHAT SKILLS do they compete for...HANDWRITING? Who looks Better with the CAP ON?
Well its obvious to me Hoyer hands down is better at his clipboard duties than LEWIS.
Back to the Release...I was really really hoping to get a 7th round pick or something for Lewis as he has followed Shurmur n when he got the start it was obvious that Shurmur believed in him. He has mobility n knows Shurmurs input if any into the new offense there in Philly. Oh well now we are doomed without that 7th round pick...man does this FO suck! 
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!

yeah, it's funny right? i mean, if we would have selected Tyler Bray in the 7th round and cut Thad because of the draft pick, then would he have complained?
same idea, but we used a middling FA pickup instead of a middling draft prospect.
