So, who’s going to play during Rub & Tug’s suspension…?
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cleveland is signing Jacoby Brissett to a one-year deal. Probably a QB more similar to their new one…
Amazing that we will not bring in a solid backup, 7th rounder for Case is a great deal. Is it that Cousins ego is too fragile for them to have anyone decent behind him.

Maybe the organization doesn't want to spend any resources on a backup QB when the starter has been on the injury report once since 2014.
Thanks for turning another thread about Cousins. Definitely not enough of them currently. Maybe we can do one of these.

Feel free to share with us the extensive list of teams with QBs paid as Cousins is. Who put up the numbers he does. And are healthy. Who bring in "competitive " backups. Some seriously unhealthy obsessions on this board.
They should bring in a more competent back-up Qb...Make Mannion a QB coaches assistant to the Assistant.

Feel free to tell me how we lost the most important game of the year cause we didn't have a competent backup.
Hilarious that a team with one of the best QBs in the league went out and got Case, but you don't think we need him, talk about an unhealthy obsession!

You may have a point on losing an important game, if you know, the theme with Cousins was getting hurt. Talk about grasping at straws. Cousins has been on the injury report ONCE since 2014. He has missed TWO games in his college and Pro Careers as a starter. Backup QB is the absolute least pressing concern this team has since Cousins signed.
Comparing Buffalo to Minnesota is an absolute apples to oranges exercise in futility. You ever watch a Bills game? Allen plays a reckless style of ball when he runs. Takes/gives totally unnecessary hits, something the team has been on him for doing. So ya, when you have a guy like that you need a better back up than most. He is one scramble where he tries to truck someone away from a season ending injury. Not exactly the style Cousins plays. Here's a quote from Beane on Buffalos need at backup QB;
"The only time I ever get on Josh is for taking unnecessary hits," Beane said earlier this offseason. "That's his play style, that's why we love him, but a backup quarterback is very important knowing the way he plays the game."

Who gives a shit why he wasn’t in the game? The fact is he didn’t play in week 17 at Green Bay and we were blown out due to abysmal backup QB play. It ended our season, and for a reason many of us saw as pretty much inevitable in preseason when he didn’t get vaccinated. No spot on an NFL roster should ever be above being improved upon, and a 7th rounder for Case sounds a hell of a lot better to me than resigning Mannion just because he happens to be buddies with Kirk.
