Baker to Carolina

(Just a footnote.) I read your posts again, quite detailed you guys know your stuff.
My friend down the mill had a strange fire in his house, by the time the VFD got there he lost the upstairs plus smoke/water damage. The insurance wrote all of his nice leather jackets and clothes off as "old clothes ". he got screwed.
My renter friends lost everything, no insurance. The landlord then sued them for the total fire damage to that old dump, they went bankrupt. Get replacement cost on your insurance especially on your fine guitars.
Oh just remembered my brother got smoke/water damage in the 1970s. Just started a new job in Mississippi (why no idea) but he rented from his new boss, second week had a fire in a shed attached to the house lost everything clothes, etc. No insurance.
i do know a lot about this stuff if you're interested, i was offered jobs by 4 top insurance companies in the 1970s when i lost my mill jobs.....BTW I did turn them all down.
Fire, theft, auto, liability, blanket coverage not that much more for an umbrella policy. Don't know what that is ? Check it out. We'll it's 6:30 am, school's out. LOL.

When in the last 23 years have the browns had a shot to win a Super Bowl? You have been a fan thus far. When you get down to it, the browns have probably only had 5-6 legit shots at being a team that could have made the Super Bowl since the Super bowl became the game....what was that, 1967?
Whatever Peen, this board has devolved so badly that real football talk takes a back seat to ridiculous semantic bullshit like this. It's pathetic.

7/14/22 - Do remember too that since the 2022 NFL Draft through the first NFL HOF preseason game Thursday August 4 it is the ultimate dead zone for football.
PLUS the other dead, dead zone the never ending D. Watson soap opera maybe the worst ever in Cleveland Browns football history. Worse than JFF and 0-16 put together.
What can any BROWNS fan expect ?
i for one can't freaking wait for the pitiful Jags to play the Raiders plus the enshrinement plus anything like real football related to try to get away from this crap for 15 minutes.
GO BROWNS ! GO BUCKEYES ! and GO ANYTHING ELSE REAL FOOTBALL RELATED.
Give us a freaking break already. Thank you.

Article is 4 years old.
Meanwhile for the rest of us living in 2022.
Njoku has a 61.7 catch percentage, a number that has steadily increased the last three seasons. His 67.9 catch percentage last season was a career high and led all Browns receivers with 50 or more targets.
3.8 - To put the last stat a little differently, Njoku had a meager 3.8 drop percentage (two drops) last season, second-lowest among Browns receivers with 50 or more targets.
so what.
this article is not 4 years old. 2020. I'm sure you are a hot shot subscriber....
Aug 19, 2020Njoku dropped just 3 of 35 catchable passes in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. That gave him a drop rate of 8.6, 21st among qualifying tight ends. But that drop rate ballooned the next year ...so what.

David's steady, yet unspectacular improvement is a great thing for this team. He's one of the more athletic and promising young "modern" TE's in the NFL who has played on an offense that hasn't given him a ton of volume. And volume isn't the issue, so much as it would be talent.
-His blocking has come a long way. - His technique has come a long way.
- His drop rate has decreased every season, including the previous with more targets than almost all past years.
I'll bookmark it and we'll revisit at midseason. Until then, enjoy the content I post.

Replaced Watson's name with, well... you can tell. A QB who played in an era of an even weaker AFCS.
I think it should help illustrate how silly your attempt at the 1st point was.
So you want to compare a 2 time Super Bowl winning, 5 time NFL MVP, and Hall of Famer Peyton Manning to a guy that has won only a single playoff game? Great comparison!
Baker was 8th in 2019
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-qb-in-2019
and look at that.... 4th in 2021
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-qb-in-2021
Just behind the likes of Burrow, Tannehill and Wilson. Did you also want me to post individual and collective Oline grades for those seasons as well?
You may not realize it, but if your attempt of saying "DUURRR SACKS" is to somehow demean Deshaun, it also ends up as a doubled edged sword against Baker.
See below.Funny you Watson worshipper’s keep bringing up Mayfield, news flash…he’s gone.
edit: Not to get into a Watson/Mayfield debate. That is just dumb at this point. Only wanted to point out your contradiction and poor example is all. Perfectly fine with any opinions, so long as those are backed with some better material to support it.
double edit: To disarm your (likely response) No, I'm not calling Watson Manning. My rebuttal was only to highlight how flimsy it was to use the AFCS as a 'reason'.
Let’s see, the AFC South has been in existence for 20 years and have one SB championship to show for it. We’re going to see how good Lil Jizz likes playing in the AFC North.
So you didn't even do me the kindness of reading my full post before you started responding. Otherwise that bolded bit with the Manning part wouldn't have needed to exist.
Look, division means nothing, ability does. By this same "logic", you wouldn't have liked a trade for JJ Watt because he played in the AFCS. It was a dumb parallel, and it isn't beneath you to just say something like "good point(s), I'll think about it.

Hey tia and anyone else even interested in documentation of data anywhere here's a tip. ( Baker to Carolina 7/14/22 )
1. Go to one of those "free notepad" type sites, quick and easy download and use it for a specific purpose or purposes, for example i use some for recipes only.. Briefly look around for features you like.
2. Copy & paste articles, subject, date, etc. When you fill one up or its full enough tag it. Periodically look it over and copy a few to another new free notepad or just delete.
3. In time any articles worth keeping can then be transferred to a cloud for more permanent storage. HUGE storages can be free or reasonably inexpensive.
4. In time set up your own system. In a year or two you'd be surprised how organized you can become.
I also use this for some interesting personal files that you don't want to lose. Just an idea of getting your bookmark and notes organized. I like mine now.
I might copy this note......... [ Oh, edit, c&p, done......and REMEMBER TO HIT SAVE ! ]

You Axed for it.
Sparkling Burgundy, mahogany body & neck, ebony fretboard, Grover Rotomatic locking tuners, Burstbuster Pro & Burstbuster Pro Plus, mother of pearl inlays, sculpted neckjoint, push/pull pots, Donaldson Blackwing intake, drilled and slotted rotors...oh wait, some of that is my car.
I just put it down (again) a few minutes ago. I've been trying to decide which pickups to put in. Seymour Duncan Seth Lover, Pearly Gates, '59's, Antiquities I'd love but they don't come in 4 wire. But every time I play it I'm thinking to myself, WTH is wrong with 'these' pickups? And the answer is, Nothing. They sound freakin' great (to my ear anyhow).

I replied to your quoted post, then worked my way down…so shoot me.
To use your famous line, we’re going to bookmark this post and revisit it when DW leads us to the first of many Super Bowl appearances.

Unless and until you look at the other option -- and make no mistake there's only 2.
Keep Baker as the starting QB and you have exactly 0% chance of making the SB. Winning a SB? Less than 0. But that failure.. is guaranteed!
Dumbest post I've read lately.. How many SB's did Dan Marino win?

Dumbest post I've read lately.. How many SB's did Dan Marino win?
Marino was an anomaly with the Mark's Brothers running up those ungodly numbers there are other reasons why Marino only had one good shot versus Super Joe Cool Montana.
Remember the commercial with Marino and Montana at the vending machine and Montana said "you can get the next one" or close to that ? It never came about. Montana got those opportunities.
Instead of Marino and SB Rings it should be Kelly, Fouts and the others wh9 should have to answer that question.
......... " Montana and Marino went toe-to-toe in Super Bowl XIX,with the 49ers earning a 38-16 victory to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Marino went on to put up historic numbers for that era but never won the big one, while Montana went 4-0 in the big game and took home Super Bowl MVP honors three times. " .........
~And~
....... "With the 49ers and Dolphins set to play Sunday at Levi's Stadium, Montana thought it would be a good time to zing his old rival with a tweet featuring an old Diet Pepsi commercial both starred in. In the commercial, Montana buys Marino a soda and the Dolphins gunslinger vows to get the next round the following year.
That apparently never happened." ......... -

Of course nickers... Mahomes and Rodgers failed last year... All time, Kelly, Marino, and Fouts never won...
As I always say... "it's better to be lucky than good". Just ask guys like Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypen and a few other so-so qbs.

Using the word "logic" and nickers together is pretty much an exercise of futility, but following his line of thinking, the Browns should never bother drafting, signing or trading for a Hall of Fame Left Tackle again because Joe Thomas never won a Super Bowl.

Oh yes, nothing like a vette. My '75 C3 in Corvette Orange.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

My '75 C3 in Corvette Orange.
Back then I was a Camaro guy. And quite poor. I had a 6 cyl camaro, '69 I think, I'd go to the gas station to check the gas and fill the oil.
Burned and leaked the stuff. But I DID land a '72 Camaro that didn't have good paint but was pretty nice everywhere else, including the 350 V8.
I always respected the vette back then as the American sports car icon that it was. It was (and is) a staple at LeMans. But the pencil thinness of it never really appealed to me. Fast forward to the C5. A wider stance. Made all the difference IMO. And it's stayed that way.
Now, they're trying to be a European supercar. A little too over the top. They haven't ruined it....but....gimme those symbolic 4 round tail lights any ol' day of the week.
Over the hill gang cars, lol.
Oh go drift your Impreza.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE
