  • It was reported today that Deion Sanders was battling bladder cancer, he's now cancer-free. Safe to say he's had bigger fish to fry than his son's playing time in Cleveland. 

    It really did seem apparently that Kenny Pickett was starting training camp off well and may have had the inside track to start preseason as the #1 guy, and then he tweaks his hamstring. Next man up.

    They actually took out the bladder completely and replaced it with some of his small intestine. My across the street neighbor just had two large bladder cancer tumors removed and is awaiting the path results. I'll tell him about that procedure in case he never heard of it.

    Not a huge surprise if Pickett or even Flacco looks better than the rookies at this stage of their careers or this season. 

    If the Browns are hoping to trade Pickett - the soft tissue hammy injury (unless it's severe) could be a blessing with the news he's off to a good start looking like he can be the #1 here. I  could see a team like TN getting interested a trade given their current backup QB situation. 

    For whatever it's worth, I'm getting the impression Shedeur Sanders isn't nearly as overwhelmed in life without Father Prime every day.  I prolly could have picked a better time to say that than right after learning his dad just had bladder cancer that he is now cancer-free from.  

  • Shedeur Held Out of Drills

  • Browns Sign QB Tyler Huntley After Releasing Depth Chart

    Well....6 QB's in the room now.  🙂     

  • Doubt you'll see much Flacco in pre-season. So it's essentially 4-5QBs for 3 weeks worth of game snaps.

    Yes.  Huntley's brought in because only Flacco & Sanders were able to practice the other day.

    Nick Wright:  🙂 

    “So I was not a Shedeur guy. However, because of where he is and the quarterbacks he is competing with, they’ve got to start him at some point. Kenny Pickett is injured and not an NFL quarterback. Joe Flacco is 40 years old. Dillon Gabriel, he’s too small. Shedeur, there is a 5 percent chance Shedeur is the franchise quarterback. When the other three guys have a combined 0 percent and you’re gonna be a terrible team, the moment the year has gotten away from you, you have to play Shedeur,” Wright said.

  • Shedeur Sanders to start Browns preseason opener on Friday

    I know it's because Gabriel & Pickett are nursing hamstring injuries......but I'm happy to see him get to start.  It's the best possible scenario for him to start the 1st preseason game.  ( not that I'm happy that guys are hurt!  but I'd like to see what he can do Right Out Of The Gates.  Let's see what he's made of in this type of situation! )

    This is an unforeseen opportunity.  An opportunity to show that he has command of the offense.  An opportunity too show that it's not too big for him.  An opportunity to show poise and control on the field.  An opportunity to show that, Hey!  There's a non-zero chance that he just might, maybe, who-knows, become legendary.  

    I'm pulling for him because of what he had to endure during the draft weekend.  I don't know if he and/or his Dad brought in on himself or not.  But I do know that he handled the embarrassing situation quite well.  Not lasing out at anyone or anything.  Just quietly accepting what happened with a sense of humility and dignity while still being his Happy Self!   

    Having said that and thrown my support his way, he'll trip over his feet on the 1st play and throw a pick 6 on his second.   Because........Browns......

  • I'm not rooting against him - but it's a tough thing to start a game so soon - things move a lot faster in the pros.

    He may really surprise a lot of folks, one way or another.

    Still not happy with the high speeding garbage. We had a white sports car blow past us a week ago, it was like trying to watch NASCAR cars go past in person at the races.

    Me either, but it's not like he was molesting underage girls or something. 

  • I'm glad he's starting, even though it will probably be against a vanilla defense.

    Just remember DTR was a pre season stud. Let's keep our enthusiasm tempered a bit ( if you have any).

    DTR looked really good in both preseasons.

    I won't be surprised if Sanders does well too, and the Sanders contingent of new Browns fans that have arrived - already as annoying as Baker Bros - will be all in a lather.

    Well if Sanders & the Browns play well then we can put up with it.

  • We know that we were going to see plenty of Gabriel during the preseason.  He was the one they chose.  I was concerned that we might not see enough of Sanders.  That shouldn't be the case now.  

    The main secondary goal of this season is to determine if we need to draft a QB in round 1 next year.  ( the primary goal is to win games )

    I don't worry about it.

    The way i see it, if we do that means we got poor QB play and we will be drafting high enough that we won't have to use the extra 1st rounder to get a good QB.

    That'll make for an interesting dynamic interacting with Poor Kvoethe hoping the Cleveland Browns can become a pain-free hobby this season.   Every time the Cheesecakelettes show up to remind him how wonderful their lives were with Baker in it - his panic attacks are only getting worse.  

    This series will be streaming in here all season...

    Not really starting a "game".  It is pre season.  If he starts or came in later it is the same thing.  It is seeing first real live NFL game speed, or close to it since pre season is often nothing more than a glorified scrimmage

    Not for many of the guys he'll be playing with.  They'll be looking to move up the depth chart / make the team.  And he'll be up against the 1's on D for a series or 2.
