The Facts: Introduced Thursday as Cleveland's newest quarterback, Taylor made it crystal clear he doesn't plan to simply log a few starts before giving way to a fill-in-the-blank rookie passer. "I don't necessarily view myself as a bridge quarterback. I'm a quarterback," Taylor told reporters. "As far as a bridge, hopefully I'm helping 'bridge' this team to a Super Bowl."
Diehards Line:
HC Hue Jackson seemed to confirm that a short time ago, when he told reporters: "[Taylor's] going to be the starting quarterback. There is no competition." Taylor came to Cleveland through a trade that saw the Browns ship this year's 65th overall pick to Buffalo in return for the 28-year-old signal-caller. No matter what the Browns do in the draft -- they're widely expected to grab a quarterback with the first- or fourth-overall selection -- Taylor is likely to start right away and potentially all season long. Indeed, there's a chance Taylor can emerge as a front-line starter, but the picture becomes cloudy as soon as the Browns add a big-name rookie arm -- something the football community fully expects them to do come the draft.
