Mike Brown went all in this year. He is demanding that they keep trying to compete. Also, Browning is playing like Peterman back there and Chase is starting to chirp. Something had to be done. But why this and not Russell Wilson?

 

I'd rather have a top 10 draft pick and Joe Burrow next season than give up resources and a top 20-25 draft pick with a wildcard exit.

I wonder if Wilson or Winston was ever available from the Giants.  I feel like both would be a huge upgrade in Cincy.  

Or cousins

Well at least he got an all expense paid vacation in London. 👍

My question exactly... I wonder if it comes down to money.

[Low Positive]

The Browns currently have a QB room with two rookies and no one else. There has to be another move.

Have you see Russell at any point in the last year?

I'm shocked he's even on a roster.

His unimaginable ineptitude in the KC game soured me on him for life.  Just barely competent QB play in that game would have given freaking KC another deserved loss.  Still salty

If they wanted to compete, Cousins was the move. This is just a save face move for the fan base. 

I think for 1 year... do we know what Cousins has left on his deal... I cant see them locking into 70mm a season for a 1st and 2 qb... into next year..

Flacco with those receivers actually might work. 

 

Not for long.  Burrow lasted 2 games behind that OL.  I doubt that Flacco lasts 3 unless he waves a white flag.

They should have traded for Jameis as soon as Burrow went down. They might have won that division with Jameis instead of Browning. With the Ravens in disarray I understand adding Flacco. It just feels like the wrong guy.

 

Jameis would have been fun to watch on occasions.

Not a smart organization imo.

 

The Bengals FO is more concerned about maximizing profits than winning football games.   Flacco's salary has mostly been paid already, so he's practically free.

The problem is that our defensive coaching is just bad enough to let an immobile Flacco carve us up in December

 

He won't survive until December.

Most likely.

Yes, they should trade a rookie, and anoint Sanders as the King of the Crap Heap! That just seems fitting, somehow. 

 

You’d think there is a real plan, but…….Browns.

I want drama from this.  Passes physical, trade goes through, and after 1 practice with Bengals Flacco retires

Legitimate question: Why?

 

They should tank.

Starting Flacco behind that line is tanking. He is a leader in the NFL in INT/attempts when he plays

It's tanking with extra steps though. There's no reason for it.

A mysterious back ailment keeps those checks rolling in until the season is over. That sounds like a solid plan…..for self preservation.

It's a bizarre move, to say the least. It has Mike Brown's fingerprints all over it.

Flacco has 9 lives, and he's only used 8 of them. I predict a few big games before he finally rides off into the sunset.

Burrow isn’t coming back. He ripped the tendon off the bone of his big toe. That toe is kind of important for balance and pushing off. And if they rush him back, he will be gimping around behind the sieve offensive line and probably get re-injured. He’s Glass Joe for a reason.
