If the Browns get it back the Denver D will win it for them. Some sort of pick 6 or fumble recover into FG territory

CLE has 3 timeouts here. My NFL Ticket stream is probably delayed and the Broncos have already won.

Why on earth would you throw the ball away there. Man, McCown is dumb.
 
I don't think you can ask the QB to risk a fumble in a weird "take a sack out of the pocket" play.  Obviously running it out of bounds also stops the clock, so I don't really see the downside to throwing it away and making sure something stupid doesn't happen.  We can see the trailers and who is chasing him and I know he can drop to a knee but he's on an NFL field surrounded by monsters and absolutely can't fumble there , i don't think it's that ludicrous.

Way to let a minute run off the clock, Fox.

You know, I understand that Manning's arm isn't what it used to be, and he can't throw it as far or as hard, but can someone explain to me why an NFL QB all of a sudden can't throw a spiral?  I'll bet Marino or Montana could go out there and throw a 15-20 yard spiral right now without much of an issue.  That's just a technique thing, not a physical thing.

His throws have always wobbled, the diminished arm strength and inability to feel his finger tips exacerbate the issue.

McCown reminds me of when I play madden.

I don't anticipate the receiver, I wait until he's open and throw. But by the time it's almost there he's covered again.

Unreal.  Now, McCown doesn't throw it away when he should.  How fucking stupid are NFL QB's getting lately.
