So the Browns signed Josh McCown to a three year deal. A veteran journeyman who’s bounced around the league and is willing to mentor a young quarterback… Who has a relationship with newly hired Browns Offensive Coordinator John Defillippo… Who can provide coaching and mentoring to young quarterbacks on the roster… Who is CLEARLY not a starter.
What’s the problem with that? The way your favorite sports media personalities are acting you’d have thought Ray Farmer committed a Ray Lewis. So they signed a back up quarterback. Big fucking deal. Step off of your ledge and quit being dramatic.
When Manziel gets out of rehab, he’ll need all the help and support he can get, and McCown will excel in that role, a source told the Northeast Ohio Media Group.
“I just want to serve our team and help everybody in that locker room, do my best to help everybody in the locker room be better at their job and they’re going to help me, too. It’s a two-way street,” McCown said in a news release. “I’m just excited about coming in and being a part of a team.
“Year 1 was a solid first year for coach Pettine, and to see the vision with what he’s got going on is exciting to me. In my room, I want to be able to help those young guys and pass along my knowledge and experiences I’ve had and help them grow. (I’m) going to compete at the best level I can to help our team get better.”
Sure sounds like someone coming in to help younger players on the roster. So don’t be this guy:
Aside from the real reasons above, here’s why McCown The Touchdown aka The Real Mr. 12 Gauge is a GREAT signing for the Browns
He has fabulous hair.
Everyone knows quarterbacks with great hair win games, make the playoffs, and win Super Bowls
Just ask Tom.
We’ll be able to add another McCown to the jersey
What are the chances of that? That’s just a great accomplishment. Kinda hoping sometime down the road the Browns bring in former South Carolina Quarterback Stephen Garcia.
He wears the #12 and has a last name that starts with “McC”
Easy fix for all the people with Colt McCoy #12 jerseys out there. Slap some duct tape on the last name, grab a sharpie and boom, you’ve got your own authentic Josh McCown jersey.
He looks like Ivan Drago
He’s a human helicopter
He’s anti porn
OK hear me out. Johnny Manziel is currently in rehab, right? What do they do in rehab? They treat addictions. Has one person confirmed what Johnny is in rehab for? I know there’s tons of speculation, but has there been any rock solid confirmation on why he’s there? No. There hasn’t.
The writing is on the wall, guys. Johnny Manziel may or may not be in rehab for a porn addiction. Josh McCown may or may not have been added to mentor Johnny about his addiction. Josh wasn’t brought in to teach five step drops. He was brought in to shield Manziel from five person gang bangs.
Dont jump. It’s gonna be OK with 12 Gauge.
