People get pretty ageist when it comes to QBs, deciding to go with the young unknown over anyone over 30 who isn't a top 5 QB, because you know, young! It's a classic case of bad decision-making based upon fear of missing out, or FOMO. It's the reason women would rather be with some broke musician rather than a steady guy who brings home 35-65k per year. I mean, you KNOW what the guy with the normal job is going to do, but this dude with the guitar could get signed by Phat Phish records any day now and then become a billionaire! How stupid would you feel if you missed out on that?
SO there we have it. Josh McCown is a middle-management systems analyst and Johnny Fartball is some druggie with an electric guitar and a demo tape that might explode and go to #1. I know who I think is sexier!!!!
Ok, I'll end with this,
We both agree that McCown is a better QB option for the Browns to win more games than with Manziel. However you see the Browns possibly lucking in the playoffs with him starting and I just don't see it either way no matter who's starting. What I'm trying to say is that if my two likely options in a final record is 6-10 or 4-12 in a division that is already packed with playoff teams, I just don't see the point of going 6-10 and winning two more meaningless games, but it all comes down to whether you believe McCown gives them a legit shot at the playoffs, and I just don't.
