I still believe that there's a very real chance that the FO and staff (not the media) believe that while Colt McCoy is not yet a 'franchise' QB that he could become. Hence the Browns voicing their desire to bring in competition as opposed to bringing in a replacement .
If the Browns wanted to replace McCoy they would have no need to hide it.
They're picking at 4; there is very little anyone can do to outbid them if they wanted a QB.
If I'm in the FO I don't bead around the bush.
I offer the Browns a trade down deal to guage their interest in Griffin and proceed from there.
BTW-I can't imagine the Browns FO considers Matt Flynn an upgrade from Colt McCoy. From a physical skillset perspective they're essentially the same QB.
Flynn may have slightly more velocity and McCoy is more athletic/playmaker.
I can't picture Holmgren falling for the same late rounnd QB pump and dump scheme that he practically created.

You almost contradict yourself in this.
First you say that the browns want someone to compete with Colt, not replace. Then you say that Flynn is too similar to Colt.
I think that is exactly what they are looking for - Someone that can come in, battle it out and then start the best QB with a solid backup.
