Rumor: Ryan Mallett To The Browns?
-
and that is a credible proposition? lol. All I'm saying is that your new quasi-GM thought Mallet was top 10 pick worthy when he came out of college.
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.

Basically every team in that draft listed Gallery as the best prospect

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.
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.

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

Eh, he was 6'3, but everyone knew he didnt have the arm strength.

bill belichick cannot stop the league from testing his athletes or keep the league from announcing who got popped and for what.
quit hating on the pats and mallet.
no one (i hope) really thinks we are looking at bringing in any other QB this off-season unless the new coaches absolutely hate what we have now. the browns have to stick with weeden considering where we drafted him last year. if he totally stinks it up this coming season then we start looking at guys coming out in 2014 or who's available on other rosters. way too many holes to fill this year w/o squandering away picks and future commodities.
He can, however, get a warning of players that "may" be tested. He also can keep clean urine on file for those players who tend to have problems staying clean.
Don't believe that happens in the NFL? Keep buying your books at the grocery store, then. There's a very real dark side to the NFL, and it rarely sees the light of day. Just enough people get "busted" to keep suspicions down, but cheating the system is a very real thing and every team does it.

Man I hate to bust in on the awesome "argument" over Mallet, but I found this post interesting. If the NFL is so dark and people cover up so much shit, the Browns need a better cover up guy..... I mean an Aderol pill gets our best DB for four games, come on man

thank you. i don't like the hire of lombardi either but if he were to have passed on gallery who was rated the highest and he turned out to be another JT or JO he would have looked like a schmuck as well. hopefully he has learned something in his time off.
i liked heckert a lot but last year to me was one of his worse drafts as the brown's GM, considering the moves, where and who we picked. i would say gordon was the best pick overall. sure that could all change this year if our 2 first round picks step up and play like they should.

lol. exactly.
i don't think anyone here is saying ryan mallet is a franchise QB, now or maybe ever. just saying he could be better than what we have now. maybe, maybe not. but like zombo has said in one of these posts is we need a QB. if turner can turn around weeden and get him going in the right direction, great. if he wants alex smith, great. if he wants mallet, great. just can we fucking get someone that can play the position pleez?
all i know is we can't give up any picks this year. it'd have to be a trade or a signing.

While I'd like to believe that the Browns organization holds themselves to a higher standard and chose not to hide any details from the league, I honestly believe our former FO was just too stupid to cover it up.
Of course if you go for conspiracy theories, there's an interesting one floating around about the supposed "Bermuda Triangle" of NFL franchises. A group of franchises that are all perpetually in the bottom 10 of the league and seem to recycle personnel between them. Rumor has it that they're supposed to lose for a multitude of reasons, each one more outlandish than the next. Personally, I think it's horseshit. But it is fun to think about.

Yep
Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network tweeted today that the Patriots have agreed to a contract with offensive lineman Robert Gallery.
ESPNBoston.com has confirmed it's a one-year agreement in principle.
The agreement brings back memories of a news conference with Bill Belichick prior to the 2004 draft. At the news conference, Belichick was asked who he would select if he had the first overall draft choice.
His answer: Gallery.

Lol! So true
I'd say at least half or the majority use peds, the rest use legal peds.
If you were an NFL player and you can get back on the field faster, and make more money for that reason, you would too. Being injured too long puts your career at risk.
I personally would only use peds that dont shrink my balls or cause balding.

Patriots have $48 Mil guaranteed in Brady.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ap-source-tom-brady-gets-220631346--nfl.html
Not that I would ever want Mallett ... but he's not really the "heir apprarent" in New England either.
At this point, he is just a guy.
A third round guy.

Tom Brady still comes off as a douche, but you have to respect the guy with this new restructured contract. Sure he's still getting paid but he took some cuts so the Pats could have flexibility in likely re-signing Welkera and a few good defensive players. That's a guy who cares about the team and winning.

Well, to be sure he is their "backup" QB. And by all appearances if Brady were to go down, like he has before, Mallet would be THE guy to take his place. Let him stay in that position as far as I am concerned.

Jesus, I wish I was as big a douche as he is. Good looking guy. Hot, rich, successful wife. Considered one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. Sure fire Hall of Famer. He really doesn't need the extra money.
Please, Buddha, let me be a douchebag on the order of Tom Brady in my next life.
