Quarterbacks don't seem to fare well in Cleveland upon the Browns return to the NFL. They cannot seem to find O-lineman to protect the QB, and give him the time necessary to find open receivers. Assuming the Browns address their line, should they make a move for Bledsoe, or is he basically finished?

It depends on what the Browns and Bledsoe expect. If either one is expecting to get a starting QB who can lead the Browns to greater glory (ie a playoff apperence) then the answer is "no". The Browns would have to be a much better team, not just in the OL but all around, for Bledsoe to be a big help to them. (& lets remember Drew was hardly mobile in Buffalo,. let alone Dallas.)
But if Bledsoe could be a mentor to Frye, Anderson, or whomever the Browns have at QB, then it might be worth considering.

I think the Browns should go for some big Defensive players on free agency day, then go with Adrian Peterson as their first pick, then, if he's still available, go with Troy Smith with their second round pick. But Drew Bledsoe? No way, he doesnt fit the teams need, and is not mobile at all. Troy Smith is the most mobile QB in the draft, and he would be good for Cleveland. Bledsoe would just get sacked too much.

Bledsoe can still throw, but he'd be dead meat in Cleveland. Bad fit.
I think the Browns should give Fry some more chances. I think the guy is a good athlete with a big arm. He could be a good one with a little more time.

They should go after Bledsoe, but it won't help the team any. They don't have a good running back, or a team for Bledsoe to play with. Joe can't be your number 2 receiver.

Sure way not, it is not as though they are going anywhere this year, so what will it matter? Bledsoe is a wonderful human being, but his style of QB is over in the modern NFL, and he is getting even slower. The man is a dinosaur unfortunately.

Deadslow isn't a good fit anywhere. No team can offer him the perfect protection he requires, but he's also a terrible decision-maker. Too many times have I seen him force a pass to a triple-covered receiver when another is wide open. Sometimes, he leaves you wondering what the hell he was looking at. It would be one thing if he was 23 and starting for the first time, but he's 33, and he ought to be able to read a defense by now...

no if they are going after a quarterback u need someone younger drew bledsoe is old and can't play nearly as good as he used to you would fair just as well with vinny testaverde. they need to either draft brady quinn of go after good free agent qb's like jeff garcia (very unlikely hes not a browns fan) or jake plummer. they might be able to use brad johnson but he's not nearly good enough to fix the browns and also very old.

Bledsoe is decent but he holds on to the ball WAY too long!!! then he'll just get sacked because he holds it too long!!! so i think he is basically finished the best thing for him is being a backup for like the saints or something!!!!

No,after the commerce cut-off date trades can not be performed until eventually March twelfth @ 4PM EST at the same time as the hot league year starts. Technically communities are not even meant to search for suggestion from from one yet another about trades until eventually then yet they continually do anyhow below the table so as that the inspiration is laid earlier the league year starts.

it is hard to say that Bledsoe is finish or not. it seem to me that he could have another 4yrs in him. and it would me a good pick up for Cleveland i think he could run the browns offence
