Quarterback Josh McCown just signed a 3 year deal with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Fans have not seemed to excited about the guy that Jay Cutler beat out for a job. Or Maybe it was McCown 1-10 record with the Buccaneers last season that has Cleveland fans puzzled. But do not think for one second that all the criticism is going to get under McCown skin. McCown had this to say to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
“I get it, I understand people’s perceptions of me. I don’t back off it or shy away from. I understand people’s frustration. But my mindset is to come in here, grow and improve as a football player, and help this team win football games. It’s always my mindset with any room that I go into as a quarterback, especially at this point in my career, just to help those guys that are in that room to be better, because it helps our team to be better, I’ll give them the knowledge I have to help equip them. Obviously whatever the expectation is for Johnny or Connor, I just want them to know I’m there and to be able to help them any way I can. That’s the main thing.”
I’m not mad at McCown, he knows he’s not very good but is willing to do anything a team want to cash checks. If teams want to offer McCown money to sit on the bench and hold a clipboard more power to them. Nice of McCown to embrace it, critics will always have something to say but cant let them stop you from getting paid.
