Mickalino Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You have a couple of reasons, some mentioned above. Doesn't wear out the qbs' arms and creates three different competitions, one for 1, one for 2 and one for 3. That's not always the case.......We're not going to have a "competition" for the #1 slot. It's Campbell's job to lose, as far as the coachings staff is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeasel Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 When did having 4 QBs become an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 A few days ago, Zorn said that the Skins would have 4 QB for camp and they in fact signed UDFA Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel. Meanwhile, one of the talking head ESPN analysis mentioned the Browns with 3 QBs as being a potential disaster. What advantage do the Skins get with 4 QBs in camp when 3 QBs in camp is a problem with another team? There is an old football adage, if you have two QBs you don't have one I think he meant having 3 QBs and not knowing where they fit isn't good. There is no clear cut starter or back-up over there. And with Man-genius bringing Ratliff from the Jets it appears that the starting job is wide open. We have a completely different situation. Campbell is the starter. Collins is the backup. Colt has to hold off any 'camp arm' like Chase Daniels to keep the 3rd spot. Chase Daniels or the 4th QB/Arm is their to learn and challenge Colt and keep Jason from getting dead arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strandgaard Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 They are talking about a dissaster with three QB's because they all are competing for the starting job and are somewhat equal, unlike the skins where it's obvious that Jason will be the starter and the rest are competing for backup positions.

Tin Man Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 4 QBs is good because the 3 QBs who wind up making the roster don't wear out their arms in training camp and preseason. That ^^^ sounds like a lesson in common sense. :munchout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 4 QBs is good because the 3 QBs who wind up making the roster don't wear out their arms in training camp and preseason. Enough said. JC will play only play about 6-8 series during the 1st 3 game of the preseason and maybe 2 or 3 Qtrs in the final game.....thats not much wear and tear on his arm and Collins is a vet that doesn't need much "prep time" so Daniels and Colt will share the rest of the snaps.

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 With Cleveland, they're talking about having 3 QBs who could start. Of course there is nothing wrong with having 4 QBs in camp. Everyone will have at least that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd say greise and McCown are odd men out , probably McCown, since he's not shown much of anything. JOsh Freeman makes it because he's a 1st Rounder, and Byron probably will make it easily enough. Doubt it. They just signed McCown to a 2 year, $7.5 mil contract. They've carried 4 Qbs the last couple of years, and will probably do it again. Probably McCown vs Leftwich for the starter's spot, and Greise is likeliest to go.

Skins-Canes-Mounties Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 4 is better. It isn't like we are bringing 4 onto the final roster. We had 4 last year also. It would be strange to only bring 3 into camp. Also, our WRs need some serious work. No need to have JC throwing to them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTotalPackage Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I would try to trade Collins to the Rams for a late round draft pick or something. If he's not even worth that, why bother keeping him? If he can't be traded outright, just cut him and take the cap hit; and promote Colt Brennan to primary backup. Now, I support having Jason Campbell as the starter, and getting rid of Collins outright will go some ways to show him that we have at least some confidence in him. For those who will scoff and say that CB is still green; I'm not saying CB is starter material yet, but there is already a precedent for having a 2nd year QB as the primary backup, set by the browns last season with quinn, who incidentally should be the starter going into this coming training camp. Now, the situation we have here is like this. We have a backup QB that is old as Methusela, overpaid, has had very little actual game time in his career, is part of a previous regime, specializes in an offense from the prior regime that he spent 8 years in (and is potentially more valuable to another team..like the rams), and has spent the same amount of time in the current system as the secondary backup, who is younger (colt brennan). The secondary backup happens to be one of the most celebrated collegiate quarterbacks in recent history and has vast potential; with talent that needs to be developed. Also, the team needs to get younger overall. They need to clear up cap room in order to sign their rookies, UFA and FAs. Lastly, they need to make a move that will help repair the relationship they have with the current starter. So, what do you do? Which QBs do you keep and which do you get rid of? It's really a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 With Cleveland, they're talking about having 3 QBs who could start. Of course there is nothing wrong with having 4 QBs in camp. Everyone will have at least that many. Exactly. Every team has 3+ QBs in camp, what they were talking about was having 3 QBs in camp all competing for the starting job. THAT is a disaster. We don't have that to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKM311 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Very differen't when all three of your QB's require the same amount of snaps. In our situation, it is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxpunk2006 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The problem for the Browns is that they don't have a starter and now have three guys competeing. That is a problem because now they each have less reps with the first team offense. 4 QB's is good for us because we have a camp arm. Now Jason, Todd, and to a lesser extent Colt won't be wearing out their arms before the season even starts. As far as I know we always bring a fourth guy to camp. Remember Sam Hollenbach?

CM916 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 To the best of my knowledge, this is our recent QB situation. 2006: -Mark Brunell -Jason Campbell -Todd Collins -Casey Bramlet (no playing time, cut August 28) 2007: -Jason Campbell -Todd Collins -Mark Brunell -Jordan Palmer (one god awful preseason quarter) -Sam Hollenbach (no playing time, resigned as 3rd QB in December) -Casey Bramlet (cut August 6) 2008: -Jason Campbell -Todd Collins -Colt Brennan -Derek Devine (limited preseason time) -Sam Hollenbach (cut in July) 2009: -Jason Campbell -Todd Collins -Colt Brennan -Chase Daniel I wouldn't be surprised if we picked up one more scrub.
