Official Browns QB Prospect Discussion!
-
Actually, the Chiefs had talent everywhere but where it matters most by miles, quarterback. Then they got a competent one (and that's about all he is this year, competent) and they're winning. Much like us.
I don't see Smith or Dalton in a Super Bowl, though, and I'm a Smith fan. Ditto McCarron and Murray. Probably Hoyer, too. I expect the Broncos to dismantle the Chiefs. Hell, we should've beaten them.

Manning's health is an issue in that game.
-
For sure, but something tells me he'll be fine. He doesn't need to practice (as he just said) so he can pretty much spend the week healing. He doesn't run so as long as he can plant and throw, he's good.
It's gonna be a situation where Alex Smith has to make plays... which he's proven he can do, more than once. But he still seems a little uncomfortable in this offense. Dude was literally the most accurate passer in the NFL last year but isn't anywhere near those numbers now. It's weird.

If there was ever a game to worry about Manning being injured, it's this one.
Division rivals, playing for first, Manning has an injured ankle and the Chiefs have the best pass rushing defense in the league.
It's almost like a movie.

that's because they sucked for 10 years and had #1 top ten picks who they scored on for those many years.
yes, all they needed was a QB and some offensive weapons. too bad bowe blows and smokes.
andy reid fell into the perfect head coaching position. but it shows you how bitched-out they are (the FO and coaching staff) to play bowe given his problems.
think andy's sweating in his jockeys.
god damn right.
-
I don't know or care enough about the Chiefs history but I kind of wonder how many of those high pics are still there and developing. Unlike the Cleveland Browns who usually have a new front office and coaching staff with every cycle of the moon who all feel the need to purge the entire draft of their predecessors.

We've had mostly good drafts, which is why so much of our team is homegrown, including UDFAs: Thomas, Mack, Lauvao, Schwartz, Gordon, Little, Benjamin, Cameron, Kiki, Taylor, Ruben, DQJ, Robertson (kind of), Haden, Skrine, Gipson, Ward, McFadden, Bryant.
We just whiffed on the 2012 first round. Badly. But we've accumulated a lot of drafted or UDFA talent everywhere but QB and RB. This team is really built for the long haul, very much like the Steelers.
And that's prior to an offseason teed up to be epic, with 10 picks and tons of cash. I think the next 10 years will be a fun time to be a Browns fan, including stadium and uniform upgrades. I think we'll be relevant.

I agree & the Richardson trade has cemented Fan confidence in this Front Office, something that has long been missing.

Yep the future is bright.
Jared Abberderis is the best wide reciever in college.
Blake Bortles game winning throw was amazing....maybe the best game winning catch I've ever seen.
Michigan blows and all their players want out lol.
-
Bortles had another solid day.
27/38 404 yards 4 TDs 0 INT
I'll take this love affair to the grave. I think he'll have a better NFL career than many of the top QB's in this draft.

who?
-
Bryce Petty is likely going to be the steal of the draft. He's like Mariota, but with the tradeoff of rushing ability for pocket presence and passing skills.
-
That's why I put Bryce Petty in my draft mock, dumb as it is at this point.
I honestly think he may be the only qb in this draft that I would trade up for...
he's elite in qb smarts, and is mobile, and really, really accurate.
-
I don't think many people are expecting Petty to enter this year's draft... but, you never know. He has been the best college QB this season and if he declares, his name will fire up draft boards...
Blake Bortles is the QB for UCF. He's 6'4" 240lbs. Really having a great season and is starting to turn some heads. The game against Louisville where he lead his team to 38 points against the now #1 ranked scoring defense was impressive. He is a junior and not many are expecting him to declare this year, but again you never know.
#Justsayin' -
There are a lot of underclassmen who will need to decide if they're coming out, or staying back another year:
Bryce Petty - BAY
Johnny Manziel - TA&M - pretty clear he'll be declaring
Teddy Twatwater - LSU - no brainer
Marcus Mariota - ORE
Blake Bortles - UCF
Brett Hundley - UCLA
Kevin Hogan - Stan
The seniors are:
Derek Carr - FresSt
Tajh Boyd - CLEM
Zach Mettenberger - LSU
AJ McCarron - ALA
Aaron Murray - UGA
Stephen Morris - MIA

hey you gotta make your money when you can, especially considering the injury threat and blowing all chances of being a first rounder.
actually saw clowney make some plays today. i guess his agent said you better show something.
-
As many decent seniors as there are in the draft, I'd think many of the underclassmen will stay in school...
Watched David Fales (Sr. @ SJST) warm up last nite and then his first two series. First I'd seen of him and I was kinda intrigued by what I saw, but too tired (and disinterested in the game) to stay up.
