Rumor: Ryan Mallett To The Browns?
-
Didn't see that much of Mallett in college, but what I did see, I give you an ^+1.
Hehehe. I saw DA make some amazing throws too- the laser shot through triple coverage in the End Zone for a TD immediately comes to mind. Really, I've never seen anyone (short of PJ 's boner for Richardson) have such a crush on a player. At least Richardson was highly touted. So if you want a DA clone, why not bring back the original item that will cost the Browns NADA?
Plus, at least in the short term, it certainly looks like the days of the lead-foot quarterback are going the way of the dinosaur, Manning and Brady being the last of the dying breed. Luck, Griffin, Wilson, and Kaepernick all have wheels to a greater or lesser degree.
Haha, whats funny is I dont really love him as a player at all. Im just trying to defend him and the idea of getting him.

Give it up- you lost defending him. So how much of this guy have you seen- really? Or do you just love him because BB did? Incidentally according to Wiki, the Patsies acquired the pick to draft Mallet when they dumped Randy Moss. BB knows when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em.
-
not this year. gotta be one of the thinnest draft at QB in recent memory.
I understand that. I am not talking about drafting a qb this year.

Mallet never "got caught with cocaine" somebody from an NFL team said that he admitted to drug use in combine interviews. Mallet when asked by the media said that that conversation is between him and the teams and rumors spread like wild fire. Another media rumor was that he was hung over and skipped a meeting with the panthers, turns out he got food poisoning eating dinner with execs from the team. What college kid doesn't do a little experimenting? Look how many NFL players popped positive for weed in college. Somebody on the pats board brought up tagging Vollmer and trading Vollmer and Mallet for the #6. The Browns would get an All-Pro offensive tackle and a franchise QB.

Well then that means that Belichick does it too...and he keeps no more handle on it than any other coach does. Do you think the league favors the Patriots because BB is their coach?
No, I'm saying that some coaches are better at it then others, just like gameplanning. Do you think every "troubled" player that goes to New England just magically gets better?

I think Belichick takes players that he thinks their love of football outweighs their weaknesses and he puts them in a position to only worry about football to keep them out of trouble.

The man's never taken a meaningful snap and he's suddenly an a franchise QB?
If he were a franchise QB, Belichick wouldn't trade him and a young franchise LT for anything less than two first round picks.

Solder is the franchise LT, Vollmer was the RT and is 28. A lot of people think that Vollmer will leave to become a LT somewhere, and he is a free agent. We have a promising young tackle in Cannon right behind him, Cannon is 4 years younger and was projected to go in the second round two years ago before being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the combine. Look at Favre, he was traded for a first after seeing almost no snaps in the regular season.

Brett Favre held nearly every passing record at Southern Miss, most of which still stand to this day. He took a school that was a perpetual underdog into national prominence, beating a handful of ranked teams they shouldn't have ever beaten. He would have been the starter for Atlanta but Jerry Glanville was a bitch and never wanted to draft him in the first place, and went on record saying it would take a plane crash to put Favre in the game.
Even still, Brett Favre is an exception to prove the rule. For every one Brett Favre there is, you have 10 Colt Brennans.

Have you looked at the records Mallet has at Arkansas? And Arkansas was pretty bad before Mallet got there, overall record of 5–7 and a conference record of 2–6 in 2008, went 8-5 with a bowl win in 2009 with Mallet, and it 2010 he went 10–2, 6–2 in SEC play and earned a berth in the Sugar Bowl.

He got busted with cocaine his senior year. And we are set at tackle, unless Vollmer can play G, no thanks. How about Hightower and Mallett?

We already have one All Pro left tackle, and perhaps the best young right tackle in the game.
And Mallet sure as hell under no one's evaluation is a franchise QB.
So you chowderheads quit trying to fawn your dregs off on us....and leave us out of your silly fantasies.
You want to do something for us? Perhaps give us Aqib Talib for like a 6th round pick...if he is yours to give (or is he a FA).

Are you comparing the 3rd round Mallett who is 6'6 to the undrafted Colt Brennan?

I haven't seen a credible source say he got busted for cocaine, he had a public intoxication citation that cost $155 in fines and fees but that is his only legal record and he never failed a drug test. No way Hightower is traded, I think he is going to end up just as good as Mayo if not better.

OK then, until you come up with a credible proposition STFU.
How about this simple, symmetrical trade: Our backup QB for your Backup QB. Colt McCoy for Mallet.
...and you may be getting the better part of the deal.

Except apparently your new VP of player personnel, who before the 2011 draft had him rated as the best QB in the draft.

Yeah unfortunately our new GM also thought Robert Gallery was going to be the next Anthony Munoz. I sure hope Lombardi has learned from his mistakes, or else it's not long until the Browns go 0-16.
We've posted this guys track record drafting- and it's second only to Matt Millen's for sheer stupidity. I almost puked when I heard Banner hired him.

We are going by "his" Oakland drafting? I think Al Davis had a bigger part in that than Lombardi.

Try Mike Junkin and Clifford Charlton on for size then. He's drafted exactly one stellar player in 20 tries Asomugah, and a couple adequate ones.
More recently, us picking up Josh Gordon in the supplemental was a "bad move".
Like Jimmy Johnson would say- "he can sure talk the talk, now it's time for Mike to walk the walk." Until proven otherwise, the guy is wearing a draft dunce cap.
Seriously- the McCoy for Mallet straight up is actually reasonable. McCoy has at least shown he's capable of being an adequate back up- Mallet has yet to prove anything.

Yea, well, everyone here knows he's a dumbass. That is why there is no honeymoon with this team and this owner and President and FO.
Everyone knows we have gotten a guy who is a proven failure....and we are worried that this is just more evidence of his ineptness.

Arkansas was bad for one year before Mallet got there in 2009. That was because of a coaching change as well as losing 13 starting players, 11 of which were seniors, from the previous season. They also lost both their All-American runningbacks in Felix Jones and Darren McFadden.
In 2007, they went 8-5, they beat #1 LSU and played in the Cotton Bowl.
In 2006, they went 10-4 (7-1 SEC)and played in the Capital One Bowl.
They had a two year slump in 2004 and 2005 but prior to that Houston Nutt had them in six straight bowl games.
In the 3 seasons before Mallet got there, they had made it to 2 bowl games. They went to 8 bowls in 10 seasons. Hardly what I'd call a "pretty bad" team.

Yes, both were considered to be fantastic college QB's, and both have yet to play a meaningful snap in the NFL. It's a more apt comparison than any you've made or anyone else has made in regards to Mallet. As a matter of fact, Colt Brennan holds a handful of NCAA Division 1 passing records, something Ryan Mallet does not.
Also, Colt Brennan was drafted in the sixth round, he wasn't an undrafted QB. As for the size comparison (I'm not sure why you would include Mallet's height in a discussion about when the person was drafted), Brennan is 6'4, only two inches shorter than Mallet.
Ryan Leaf was the same size as Mallet. How did his career work out?
