    Look, I'll concede switching QB's after a win isn't the move.

    But despite below average O-Line play, mediocre WR core, etc Joe has looked totally cooked out there. I'm not even being funny that I felt bad for the dude on some of those design roll-outs, it looked like my dad during the Turkey Bowl. His raw QBR (which IMO is more accurate) is 30th only behind the two rookies Ward and JJ. For context, the other senior citizen Aaron Rodgers is 20th.

    LB's are sitting on underneath routes and feasting on the reality that Joe just isn't making the intermediate to long throws. It's a big problem, and we won in absolute spite of QB play. I'm very hard pressed, rookie or not, to imagine how competitive this team could be with someone who has a little more elusive ability and could even raise the bar by 30%.

    I agree. Nothing to lose here when you already have a known QB unable to function behind a bad OL.

    And it has to be this week or after the Vikings across the pond. Definitely does not make sense to put the rookie in there in that situation.

    You guys need to start him over Flacco. Flacco is bad.

  • Of course the Browns get a win over one of the best teams in the NFL and the King of the Baker Circle Jerk Club has to talk about the Bucs. "But remember 2020?"

    Given the lack of pass pro, a designed roll was actually a pretty solid idea. 

    with Dillion, not flacco

     I think you're mixing up not only the type of designed movement here, but also why.   

     Rolling out for half field fields on a designed QB sprint is a classic play that offenses have done for decades with QBs that aren't what we would define as modern athletes. 

  • In a perfect world, the Browns first three draft picks in 2026 (two firsts, one second) should be some combination of QB, Left Tackle and Cornerback. 

    I like Dawand Jones, but you absolutely cannot count on Dawand Jones. I feel bad for the kid, but he's a free agent after next season. 3 for 3 on season-ending leg injuries.

    Flacco should never leave the pocket, I swear i have never seen him complete a pass with us doing so

    Actually he's not leaving the pocket.  He and the pocket are strolling over to the right a bit before setting up shop.  It buys a little more time for receivers to get into and out of their routes.

    I don't know the number/success rate, but he doesn't have to run fast or anything.  As fast as the fat-asses moving over there with him. 🙂 

    ...right now I've got us drafting between pick 7 - 18.  just sayin'

    And just like that, Andre The Smurf is a giant in Browns history.  🙂

    Are you thinking of Jon Ogden?  Seems like he kept himself in shape long enough enough to be reliable and successful.  I think the biggest difference is 1 guy was willing to put in the work of a professional; while the other guy was so used being successful as a great athlete that he didn't get this until he's swinging at strike 3.  Too bad because Jones seems like a likable guy and all. Here's a cut and paste below of what I Googled for you Syd.  That is if I got the right guy you were thinking of...

     Nah, he meant Greg Oden.  Another tOSU player, only on the court instead of the gridiron. 

     Dude's knees were his undoing in the NBA.

    Wasn't the 1985 team recognized Sunday?

    It would have been fitting to wear 1985 throwback uniforms.

    Brown on Brown on Brown with solid Brown socks is a horrible look.
