Only thing I don't like about them keeping him is that it clearly wasn't their plan to do so when they acquired him. They were explicit about that. So if they've changed their minds it might indicate that the plan they had for QB has fallen through.

But what the fuck do I know.

Brock starting is ideal even if we take a QB. A one year deal for a big kid to just take a beating. And hell there's a 1% chance he finds it.

I think that 1% chance is better odds than any QB in this draft unless we're looking long term. I have said it before but here's my ideal situation: Brock starts. Kessler is the backup. Draft: Garrett, BPA at 12 (Hooker or Davis is instant wood). Mahomes at 33. He does not play all year. Our offensive line is top 5. Collins, Shelton, Ogbah & Javvy's boy Haden start to solidify a legit D.

Well Cousins was never realistic & flats didn't want Jimmy so I am interested to hear flats take. I was never opposed to James. I just don't think he's worth as much as some people do. But what I think and what the Browns think aren't necessarily correlated. All I know is that if 2 weeks ago they were laughing at the idea of Brock making the roster and now he's competing for a starting job, something has changed. And that something can't be anything he's done because there haven't been any games. So maybe they thought they had a deal for James or Cousins and it fell apart? Or maybe they had a guy they liked at a certain draft spot and now they don't think he's going to be there? Or maybe hey had a guy they liked in the draft and he totally bombed an interview with Hue and Hue wants him off the board? I don't know what it is, I just know their line changed from "It's certainly not going to be Brock" to "It might be Brick."

An injury might put the Browns on the hook for more of that original 4 year/$72million (not that our QBs ever get injured).

Did the Browns ever say "it's certainly not going to be Brock?"

If the Browns thought they could get Jimmy, i don't think they'd be talking about Brock right now unless it was to spark interest in the trade circle.

Did the Browns ever say "it's certainly not going to be Brock?" No but the fact they never put his picture on the website like they did the other guys they signed and the fact that it took sooooo long to give him a number gives the impression that it was never going to be Brock.

Another piece that you didn't mention flats was perhaps a team told the Browns they would trade a draft pick for Brock if they took on a chunk of his salary and then backed out.

I don't even know if any of this was true either or if it was just made up by talk show hosts. Even if it was true, how much does it mean?

I think their mindset about Brock may have been altered when they finally cut RG.

I agree with flats. The insurance policy against a trade falling through for JG was the Osweiler and Kessler competition at QB. It would be safe to assume that these Harvard guys will always have a hedge in place to protect against a trade or a draft position breaking down.
These guys also appear to me as dollar cost averaging guys. Not withstanding, if the QB position is up or down, these guys are still buying into the QB position. Example: even if the trade for JG was consummated, these Harvard guys were still going to draft a QB as a hedge against a JG failure. And consequently if a JG trade never materializes, we'll still drafting a QB as a bridge from Osweiler, to, lets say Mahomes, since he is the flavor of the week.
Also I believe these guys will roll into '18 with plenty of FA cash on hand and plenty of draft picks as collateral to strengthen the QB position. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me if we parlayed 1/12 into a '18 1st rounder. Because Belichick is going to slap JG with a non-exclusive FA tender which would cost two 1st rounders.
