  • So... Skrine and Gipson have played well... thanks for the update... and for sharing the "wisdom"... 😎

    "This guy is some kind of genius..."

  • We're not giving up big plays, which in turn helps limit the ypa for each play against us. If we could just get off the freaking pitch, we'd have an elite defence.

    Shep feels like he must debate that it's "a quarterback league" even though no one contradicts him. They just don't think it's really a debatable issue. Everybody knows it.

    Reminds me of when Sam Malone went out on limb to stand up for "grass" over "turf".

    --This reporter is not afraid to say that he is firmly in favor of good quarterbacks.

  • i thought sheps thread would be about all the glam-boy QBs who shined yesterday.

    shep's dream QB: david bowie. plays for the Quintucket Queefs.

    I can't quit you, Z. You make me laugh even when flipping me shit.

    BUT... an entire thread was opened here contradicting the FACT that it's a quarterback/passing league. I'm here to help, as you know.

    The last line was written after you were unmanageably high, but...

    Yeah, Johnny Cash is edging into the top five and Tajh helped redeem himself. He still won't go higher than 15th.

    We do appreciate you- but lay off the college quarterback juice until at least after the Stanford- Oregon game this Thursday. We will be scouting your man-crush. And regarding Winston- HE'S NOT READY YET!!!!

    So British. So so British.

  • LOL...

    Speaking of Bowie... huge fan here... at least until Tin Machine... no idea what that was about.

    One of my concert claims-to-fame is attending his U.S. debut The Music Hall... The Ziggy tour...

  • My afternoon wisdom (!):

    - Flat out amazing how good this team is with competent quarterbacking, either Hoyer or Campbell. Also points out just how god awful horrible Weeden is. Guy might be out of the league next year. I'm dead serious.

    - So what other holes do we have? Line is awesome when anybody except Weeden plays. Little sure looked awesome today, as did Bess. Wouldn't change a damn thing on the defense except maybe add a corner with some size. But Haden-Skrine can start for the next seven years, thank you. Same with Gipson and Ward.

    - I like Fozzy. I could see him, Dion, and Obie on the team next year. Since all three of those guys can catch, I'd like to see us add a badass power back. I don't know... maybe a Buckeye?

    - And then we obviously draft our long-term QB. It's kind of a luxury to have so few needs. We could get another TE for 12s. Draft a WR in round 2, perhaps (I'd like some more speed, maybe a little guy but built a little stouter than Benjie).

    - If we beat the Bengals next week, playoffs become a serious possibility. With all our money and picks, that's fine. We can still trade up and get a guy we like (Manziel).

    I hate talking draft, but I think we need a more versatile O-Line. We are decent at pass blocking, but our run blocking is sub par.

    Glad you're coming around to my way of thinking. 🙂 I said we'll find out if we're pretenders or contenders after this game. We have a BIG game coming up in two weeks against the (beat up) Bungles. The D is playing lights out- too bad Horton is probably gone after this year.

    Unfortunately, the coaching staff (as a first round pick) had to give Weeden enough rope to hang himself. Consider him hanged.

    Amazing ain't it when the qb can actually feel pressure, get the hell out of Dodge, see open receivers, and occasionally toss an accurate ball with some touch?

    Beat Bungels- beat Jets- we're on our way.

    But, yet, recall, it WAS Weeden that won that Buffalo game....coming off the bench when the Browns were behind 7-0.

    We need a running game....and I don't know if Fozzy is it. They WILL have to use this next draft to upgrade, particularly at that spot.

    While the Browns are on the bye week, the Bengals and Ravens have to play each other....and the Steelers play the Bills.
