Jesus. Clady is a huge loss. However, if there's a QB who can make up for an OL deficiency, it's Peyton Manning.

I thought they said Cladys injury would keep him out a month..

Brian Hoyer to start in place of Brandon Weeden this weekend, so he jumps Jason Campbell on the depth chart

they loss their Center preseason I believe too.

Its gonna be interesting to watch them vs the Raiders this weekend. About the only thing the Raiders do well is put the QB on the ground consistently.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

browns have had like 17 Qbs since they drafted Couch

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Better to lose Ryan Clady now than right before the post season obviously.
Manning is one of those quarterbacks along with Brees/Brady/Rogers that can make Offensive Lines look better than they actually are. It is why they are elite so they should still be able to get home-field advantage.

Imagine if the Browns had RG3... That team is pretty loaded outside of QB.

At this point in the season they be no better then they are now.

The No fun league strike again..[/quote]


[quote]TBO.com notes that even though the Chicago Bears wore alternate uniforms this past Sunday, the “C” decal removal was the only alteration to the helmet. The Buffalo Bills wore throwback uniforms, but simply used the 1960-style “buffalo” decal on their white helmets. Since Tampa Bay changed their colors, players would have to change helmets, which the league will not allow.

One wonders if this is also the end of "Pat Patriot." The Patriots have taken to wearing the old-school look with the iconic logo for throwback games, but "Pat Patriot" is depicted on a white helmet, and the Patriots normally wear silver. As the Uni Watch blog points out, Atlanta, [B]Washington[/B] and Dallas might also be affected by this.[/quote]



This is BS. A team can't wear a second helmet any more because they must now wear the exact same helmet all 17 games?

Stupid.

There goes throwbacks around the league.


Last time teams had to try to fit normal helmets into throwback uniforms, we had this crap:

Darn, huge lost.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

[quote=mredskins;1026652]Darn, huge lost.[/quote]

Packers just announced they're going to use plain, decal-less yellow helmets with their throwbacks.

Pat Patriot will have to be on a silver helmet if NE wants to use him. That is going to look stupid.

No Rams throwback helmet now.


Where did this rule come from? Seriously...because a player wears a second helmet, they're more prone to get a head injury? They measure heads and they can be broken in during practice if it's really a concern.


This concussion fear is getting over-the-top. Yes, concussions are real and they are serious...but the ways they're trying to prevent them like the new kickoff rule with more kicks going into the end zone and now restrictions on uniforms that fans love to see...what are they thinking?


Brandon Meriweather is more likely to cause a concussion than a Bucs player wearing a white helmet instead of a pewter one...deal with him.

This will likely be changed by next year after someone somewhere with authority in the nfl realizes this is stupid. I'm not too worried about it.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

What is the deal with Jason Campbell? He can't even beat out Brian Hoyer? I swear I think Gibbs and Zorn ruined this kid.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Woah! The Colts just traded their 1st round pick next year for Trent Richardson

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

And the Browns are expected to sign Willis McGahee

Didn't know TR looked that good .... 1st rd pick, Browns win this I think . Not saying TR isn't that good , maybe with Luck in Indy he can thrive .

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Rumors to start ...... Browns to send 1st rd pick to Washington for KC !

Looked fine to me, its only been one season and that first rd pick will be in the mid to late first

what kind of cap hit did they take?

I haven't seen Cleveland play just going by what I hear. I don't doubt he will make an impact with Luck in Indy . Maybe Cleveland can start to build a team next year ... 2 picks in rds 1 , 3 and 4 in '14 .

I dont know how the Browns win in this trade he was a top 5 pick and the Colts pick next year will be at least a mid to late 1st rounder.

[quote=SmootSmack;1026708]Woah! The Colts just traded their 1st round pick next year for Trent Richardson[/quote]

The Browns are idiots. The Colts didn't get much better IMO, this is a maybe 1 game win difference from before. Until Trent shows me something, he's just a power back to me in the NFL.


It also makes me wonder if the Browns would be willing to part with DQwell Jackson for a late pick..

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Obviously Cleveland did not think very highly of TR. Lombardi seemingly has thrown in the towel after only two games. I think it's a great move for Indy.

I don't understand, why are the Browns idiots if you don't think much of TR?

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Do they have a cb or safety we could use for a 2?

Crazy that they traded the guy already and didnt they move up last year for him? Like a spot or two because Jacksonville or someone wanted him?

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1026722]I don't understand, why are the Browns idiots if you don't think much of TR?[/quote]

I don't think much of him, because we haven't seen much of him in the NFL. To give up on a 3rd overall pick after 18 games is stupid. I honestly feel like neither team won this trade today. If I had to pick a team to win it, gun to my head, I'd take the Browns because they got a first rounder for a RB, but its just stupid all around.


Meanwhile if the Browns have anymore players they want to get rid of, I'll gladly take:

- LT Joe Thomas
- C Alex Mack
- TE Jordan Cameron
- WR Josh Gordon
- WR Davone Bess
- CB Joe Haden
- ILB D'Qwell Jackson
- DT Phil Taylor
- DT Ahtybah Rubin
- SS TJ Ward

All Alabama backs are bust!

Browns will get bridg or manziel now

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

1,4,5, & 7 to move up one spot to draft him last year...

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Rob and Norv trading a supposed incredible RB? hmmm....

Michael Lombardi is gmail I believe.

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;1026729]1,4,5, & 7 to move up one spot to draft him last year...[/quote]

The problem with that is, it was another management that made that move. It's also the same management that thought drafting a 28 year old QB in the first round (who was a 2nd round talent at best) was a good move. It really is no wonder why they quickly got Holmgren out of there as soon as ownership transferred to Haslam. I like Holmgren, but those moves he made were just mind boggling.

That's the main problem with switching new staffs(coaching and GM), they all want "their" guys to fit their system. Often times, ego becomes a huge factor in why GMs clean house with players and coaches. They want all the glory for when it finally comes together. The problem with that is, they normally don't last that long to see it happen. Rinse and repeat.

Re: Around the NFL Week 3
 

Yeah I get the gm part, but I don't quite understand giving up on him just yet. There must be something they saw that was just not right. Unless QB is the top priority in the next draft, but I would imagine they are going to have a high pick anyway.

That's what I'm thinking. They must be trying to stock pile picks to trade up for a QB.
