Cribbs wants QB shot

[A.E]

Already down Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn for the season, the Cleveland Browns are left with Ken Dorsey, Bruce Gradkowski, and emergency quarterback Joshua Cribbs. With the Browns season already down the hole and the offense continuing to sputter week to week, pro bowl returnman Cribbs is now campaigning to move up the QB depth chart.

Cribbs, a running quarterback at Kent State, feels as though he has was it takes to lead the Browns' offense and would like the shot to do so. Cribbs has already been under center for the Browns this season, lining up at QB during the Browns "Flash" packages on offense.

Cribbs posted over 10,839 offensive yards while at Kent State, an all-time school record. Cribbs is also one of only four players in NCAA history to record both 1,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in as many as two different seasons. As far as his NFL passing career is concerned, Cribbs has logged 1 passing attempt and an 39.6 QB rating, courtesy of the 2006 season.

At this point, the guy is electric with the football and do the Browns really have anything else to lose? -AE

He should get a shot.. Yesterday, he threw a perfect 50 yard strike down the sideline to Edwards, the refs said Edwards wasn't in but it looked like he was. For some reason Crennel didn't challenge it but whatever, it was the best pass and catch I've seen all season from two guys in a Browns uni.

wait what? So cribbs did throw?

I went to Kent State and watched Josh Cribbs play. He is the real deal. I often wonder why the Browns don't explore his options more and use him behind center. He could be just like Randall Cunningham was in his prime or even Michael Vick (I can't believe I am saying this!) only better. Josh has proven to be a profolic quarterback and don't need to prove it in the NFL. Crennel is a damn stubborn moron if he doesn't give him a shot. Just think, Quinn, Cribb, and Dorsey on the depth chart next season. That is a pretty darn good one besides Dorsey. I could really seen Cribb unseating Quinn as starter.

I was ask to try out at Kent State since I had a so-so year and a half at Toledo. They knew my skills and how good I could of been. I did work out with Josh a few times and we did connect well in practice. He is a great man and a very intelligent one. GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE!!!

Ya, I'd like to see him at the helm. I mean, the team's long gone from the post season this year, and your top 2 QB's are out with major injuries.

Even if you take the shot, your still exploring options and adding one more thing to this kid's resume.

when i first saw the title, i thought brady quinn might have gotten a lil to close to him in the showers and he wanted him shot.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

HAHA, aw thats great.

 

[Hoffa]

This should be very interesting to see, I hope he does.

 

[elcheato]

wait what? So cribbs did throw?

Yes, like said in my post, he threw literally a perfect pass, 50 yards down field. Edwards caught it but they said he was out of bounds.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I was thrown off there because it said in AE's post that hes only had 1 career attempt and that was back in 2006.

I highly doubt Quinn will be unseated as a starter.. The running QBs are in the past and NFL teams strive for a pocket passer nowadays.. If they wanted a running QB they would have started him already.. the ones that run can't seem to ever lead a team to a superbowl

Why not? He can't get any worse for the Brownies!

Go For it.

Nothing to lose.

If they had a better record than most likely not even a consideration, but they dont really have anything more to lose, and who knows, he might suprise people.
