Quote:Davis went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft and signed a free agent deal with the St. Louis Rams. On August 30, 2013, Davis was cut by the Rams.[21]
Miami DolphinsEdit

The Miami Dolphins signed Davis to their practice squad on September 10, 2013.[22][23]
Second Stint with RamsEdit

Davis re-signed with the Rams on October 22, 2013, after an injury to Sam Bradford.[24] In the first week of the 2014 NFL season against the Minnesota Vikings, Davis entered the game at the start of the second half in relief of starter Shaun Hill. A week later, due to Hill's prevailing injury, Davis made his NFL starting debut on September 14, in a winning effort against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Following the Rams' 28-26 upset win over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in Week 7, former All-Pro quarterback and legend Brett Favre tabbed Davis as a potential Tom Brady or Kurt Warner of the future, both of whom won Super Bowls despite a bleak start to their NFL careers. During the victory, Davis completed 18 of 21 passes, the best completion percentage in NFL history against a defending Super Bowl champion; the former Southern Miss QB also added 152 passing yards and two touchdowns, one of which ultimately sealed their victory after Davis successfully led an 80-yard drive.

After 2 interceptions and a lost fumble in the 4th quarter against Arizona in early November, Davis was benched in favor of Hill.

Also, McCown's age is irrelevant, and lots of QB's who are younger than the best QBs in the league right now are either on benches or have already flamed out of the league.  McCown can be 90 years old and if he is playing decent football he should start over Manziel.

For you to act like 2-6 versus 0-8 is also irrelevant because you are not a Browns fan.  Additionally, you can preach about the Browns building through the draft but they haven't drafted a decent QB since 1985.

You also say "You don't play the 'best chance to win' when you are a failure of a team." which makes no sense because McCown is a better QB than Manziel, and then you admit that the Browns likely have a worse record if Manziel starts.  McCown gives the Browns a better chance to win, so you saying they should bench him makes zero sense by your own standards, if not mine.

You completely trash Manziel but then act like the Browns should start him because McCown is 36 years old.  I guess that's all that matters.  The dude is old.  The Browns are bad.  They should make some nonsensical personnel move because "why not" it's not like people are actually held accountable for making illogical decisions in a billion-dollar industry, right?

- Texans get rid of "upside" Mallett in favor of safer, more competitive Hoyer (and back and forth for a while on picking the starting QB)
- 49ers fans applaud benching younger, more "upside" Kapernick in favor of boring ol' Gabbert
- Kirk Cousins is named the starter over an "upside" guy the DC team spent 1000 picks to get
- The Browns go with boring old McCown over the "upside" of Johnny Fartball
- The Colts win more games with the ancient Matt Hasslebeck than with Andrew "I only play well for 1 quarter per game" Luck
- a few years ago the Raiders replaced Terrel "holy crap this guy's upside is huge" Pryor with a boring ol' 2nd round QB and are relevant again
(keep in mind Raiders fans also wanted to bench a schmo who is a top #5 QB in the NFL today for a guy who almost immediately flamed out, too)
- Geno Smith loses his starting job to boring old journeyman QB Ryan Fitzpatrick who actually helps them be semi-relevant
- Cardinals cut super "upside" Logan Thomas so they can keep boring Drew Stanton and get boring Matt Barkley

The fact is, Ryan Mallett, Colin Kapernick, Geno Smith, Johnny Manziel, Logan Thomas, Terrel Pryor, and RGIII took their upside to either the bench or the unemployment line should tell people a few things.  #1: QB's who are tossed out there "just because" can be broken pretty easily, and #2: fans of a team that want to "see what we have in the next guy" turn on the next guy faster than anyone else.

I just find it a bit interesting that regular old people can't wrap their heads around the fact that NFL teams don't just change QBs on a whim for the hell of it more often.  I also don't understand why people don't realize that the Browns go through about 3 QBs a year whether they have "nothing to lose" or not and the only ones who are any good are the ones that weren't drafted (and ruined) by the Browns.

I think Jets are getting cold feet on Fitz. From a pure talent perspective both RG3 and Kaep would be playing over Gabbert and Cousins

Step one in losing to a bad Cleveland quarterback is forgetting that the Bengals have lost to several of them in the past. Step two seems to be assuming they just have to show up to beat the snot out of Browns...

As long as the Bengals are being fed memories of last year's Thursday Night game, I feel good. If they go in flat, though, Cleveland can win this.
