Conner Shaw might start for the factory of sadness

[TribalElder]

All the homers can keep believing, Cleveland is starting the best QB on their roster possibly

Hoyer, Manziel are both hurt, so Connor Shaw may start

All season we’ve been asking whether the Browns would start Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel. At the end of the season, the answer may be neither.

Undrafted rookie quarterback Connor Shaw, a member of the practice squad, may be called up to the active roster and forced to start Sunday’s season finale against the Ravens. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that Manziel’s hamstring injury, which forced him out of Sunday’s game, and an injury to Hoyer’s shoulder suffered after Manziel went out, could leave Shaw as the only option.

A three-year starter at South Carolina, Shaw was signed by the Browns in May and had some good performances in the preseason this year. Perhaps he can have another good performance in the season finale, and add a new element to the Browns’ inevitable quarterback controversy in 2015.

Kid is being set up on a blind date with failure if this is true. I hope he performs well, and especially makes the HC and OC look like dumbasses for even considering Manziel a legit quarterback. But, I fear he'll get smashed by an embarrassed Ravens team coming off the turd they laid against Houston.

Conner Shaw is the best QB in Cleveland

[thabear04]

That is 23 starting QB now right?

[Brock]

Manziel, another shrewd move by that franchise.

Cleveland is the factory of Sadness.

Arrowhead is the Factory of Salmonella

[MahiMike]

Loved that kid at South Carolina. Excited to watch him play.

Cleveland is the factory of Sadness.

Arrowhead is the Factory of Salmonella

Arrowhead is the factory of dysentery...

I liked shaw going into the draft and thought he'd be a good pick. Glad he's getting a shot.

[Iowanian]

you're right.

Instead of the pizza wheel of fortune they should spin the wheel and say "Section 317, Row 2 Seat 4....You have Died of Dysentary. Please leave the stadium with your party"

[Buehler445]

Shaw went HDFA? I didn't think he'd make it past the 5th round. Maybe I just saw the games he played decently in.

[Dunerdr]

My first thought... I didn't know Connor shaw was on our roster.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Cleveland.............Where quarterbacks die.

[Reaper16]

If Cleveland is playing University of Missouri then Shaw's going to lead the Browns to an impressive victory.

[chiefzilla1501]

It's sad that I'm jealous of a team starting Connor Shaw because I know that team probably realizes they need a QB change in 2015.

[alpha_omega]

Too bad for them they aren't playing us.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

If Cleveland is playing University of Missouri then Shaw's going to lead the Browns to an impressive victory.

Hell, if Baltimore had a single Mizzou player on their team I'd put Shaw down for 380 and 3 scores without flinching.

[TribalElder]

I hope I get to see some of the game

Shaw>Smith
The ending of this video would never happen with Smith. He'd be more than content with throwing a 2 yard checkdown.

Disagree.


Smith would cross the line of scrimmage and throw an illegal forward pass that gets intercepted.

LOL where has Manziel failed yet ? Rookies aren't expected to be good after 2 starts their first year no matter what era it is.

Come on, this sets up perfectly for another fun filled episode of "How the Chiefs can torture their Fanbase".

Watch Cleveland with a 3rd string QB beat Baltimore and watch Houston lose to Jacksonville while the Chiefs lose to San Diego on a missed field goal, a blocked punt/safety, a stuffed play at the goal-line… take your pick.

Completely expecting this

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Thiggy!!

[TribalElder]

give undrafted rookie Connor Shaw all the reps in practice today, just in case.

Pettine said he wasn’t sure that Hoyer could get to 100 percent in time for this week’s game with the Ravens, which is why they called Rex Grossman (who said no thanks) before signing Tyler Thigpen.
