This thread is making things waaaayyyy too complicated : Any team wants the option of letting a rookie quarterback sit, if at all possible A very large percent of rookie quarterback benefit by sitting, at least part of the season Hue Jackson took scorching criticism for playing Kizer too soon. Apparently he took it to heart. Cleveland's future is in this pick. They can't afford to mess things up again. That's why they pick Darnold over Allen btw. Cleveland has a TON of picks, and could part with a third Taylor's a decent qb, and will probably enjoy success with the Brown's better supporting cast. And that's that. There's no big conclusion on the '18 crop of quarterback draftees here...... Edited April 13, 2018 by grb 1 1

johnnychemo Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Just thinking out loud here, but might Cleveland take TT because their QB draft target is Jackson? They have similar playing styles, an offense designed for TT's strengths would be good for Jackson as well. TT starts for a year and Jackson is groomed for the future?
uticaclub Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Are we still !@#$ing talking about Tyrod Taylor. We got a 3rd from a team with infinite cap space, for a player with 1 year left on his contract that has proven he is not a franchise QB. It's a fair trade for both sides, we needed to move on, they needed a bridge/backup QB. I've always said Tyrod is everything you want in a backup.

Yes Cleveland has a worse track record than us. But, Tyrod has proven that he is a below average NFL quarterback and the Browns still think the QB they draft at #1 will still sit behind him. I don't see us moving up. One of those five guys will be there at 12 and all of them will sit behind McCarron for a year and may never make it in the NFL. This makes wwwaaayyy too much sense so I gotta spin your question around. Why then.. did the Bill's trade Tyrod? BAM!! ?? 1
BillnutinHouston Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Bad thesis there. What the Browns secured with the TT trade was the ability to develop their new QB from the bench rather than HAVING to play him this year. It's reasonable to conclude this was exactly what the Browns were thinking, considering that's exactly Dorsey did with Mahomes last year as Chiefs GM.

They could have moved on last year but new regime didn’t see a better option immediately available. They finally ripped the band aid off and are moving forward and rebuilding at the position. The browns are in a different place than the Bills. They need a band aid to stop the bleeding before they can really move forward with their Qb of the future. Edited April 13, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1

IMO - Because Hue Jackson wanted a veteran QB. I'm sure Dorsey did too, to help the team win some games and gain confidence. But Hue just went 0-16 (and 1-31 in the past 2 seasons). He doesn't have the leash to ride out another season of rookie QB bumps and turnovers. He HAS TO win some games this year and show some forward progress if he wants to keep his job. I believe he rightly thinks that turnovers are the biggest factor in all their losses (Kizer just turned the ball over 27 times!!) and Tyrod solves that problem. Darnold has issues with turnovers himself, so they will let him learn from Tyrod for a year on how to take care of the ball, then he will be starting next year. Edited April 13, 2018 by BillsFan4

The browns are in a different place than the Bills. Well, right! But as u know, this was in regard to OPs question. How much of a different place is debatable but I guess my point is there is SSOO much more that goes into it than the surface lodgic that was expressed when the original question was posed. I suppose how TT stacks up to AJ and the $$ needs to be taken into account as well but in the end neither is a fqb so what are we really doing here..
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 It certainly says something about the QBs they expect to be left after the 2nd round concludes.
TheElectricCompany Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Tyrod is a guy you can win with, and he protects the ball. His negatives are well known, but he can at least give them a few wins and create some stability while they bring up their future QB slowly. This was an 0-16 team after all.

Virgil Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 So, we aren't going QB either because we signed McCarron? Got it
