May 1, 2014Pics: Tribe pitchers break out deep v-necks and headbands for bowling outing
May 1, 2014Several reports coming out Thursday have the Cleveland Browns signing quarterbacks Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen. Both free agents worked out with the team during minicamp this week.
#Browns expected to sign QBs Vince Young & Tyler Thigpen & LB Zac Diles. All three tried out this week during minicamp.

In addition, the team is reportedly signing linebacker Zac Diles who was also trying out at camp.
Neither Young or Thigpen threw a pass in an NFL game in 2013. Young hasn’t been in a regular season game since 2011.
These signings will have no bearing AT ALL on the Browns draft plans. Promise.

I didn’t know the NFL had a D-League.
We shouldn’t read anything into this, but it’s OBVIOUS that the Browns are taking Sammy with the #4 and forgoing drafting a QB at all.
Poor Alex Tanney

I’m amazed Zac Diles is still in the NFL. He had a couple decent years for Houston (not coincidentally when Kyle was there), but had disappeared since to my knowledge. Apparently, he has been in Indy, Tampa, and Tennessee since that time as a backup guy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one, if not both were cut during the pre-season. Just another smoke screen.

He can beat out both those scrubs for the #3 spot.
Viva Throwalicious!
nope. These are pathetic offerings to be chucked into the Johhny F volcano, putting him at #2 on the depth chart before he even signs. Then it’s Manziel and Hoyer in a dance-off, with mandatory moves designed to stress Brian’s reconstructed knee. By the opener in Pittsburgh Johnny won’t even remember what a clipboard feels like.
He came to Cleveland as Throwalicious, and leaves as the Throwulk

They’re going to be solid backups.
“Pettine was also impressed with Young’s 6-5 height, saying “that’s what they’re supposed to look like.””
That’s proof they won’t draft Manziel! Why has no one picked up on this yet?
Le sigh…
Dream Team 2.0
But, can he also beat out Teddy Bridgewater, Connor Shaw, and Brian Hoyer?
OTAs were his superbowl and now he has to share.
in the Arena League
Hoyer, Murray, Throwalicious. đ
6-5, 232, runs like a gazelle…you know what that means?
SAFETY!
I’d have rather signed Jared Lorenzen.
we couldn’t afford the buffet budget
sorry, no trash cans or basketball hoops or pickup trucks in the Shaw GIFs

Of course!
If he can’t hack it at QB, we still need a guard…
Fine.
Practice squad, then.
No, but there are a few that are thinking about it:

well.
or tell him to eat more and work on an inside move.
Ooooh, TE…didn’t think about that.
The referee almost made the play on that ball.
he does appear rather nimble and has an extremely low center of gravity
Air McNair and Yancey Thigpen? YES!!
