    On a related note, how nice is it that there isn't really a player being singled out for abuse like there has been in previous seasons - last year Bess & Little, before than Skrine and Little - there wouldn't be much debate, everyone would look to replace one of those guys. Now, we're in a situation where we don't have many real liabilities. The current lightning rods are who, Schwartz and Mingo? That in itself speaks to the overall improvement in depth.

    Yep. Mitchell Schwartz usually picks it up as the season begins and Mingo is playing hurt.

    Skrine keeps on improving.

    Is this REALLY a question? You take Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck... You'd really replace the kicker?!? Lol

    Yeah that got very quickly modified to 'any position but QB'

  • I'm replacing 4th string tight end Ryan Taylor with Aaron Rogers. If QBs are ineligible, Watt is a good choice. I wouldn't mine lining up Patrick Peterson opposite of Haden either, so maybe Gilbert turns into a stud next year.

    The guy i would most like to see playing for the Browns right now is Alex Mack.

    Zombo

  • In order:

    1.) Watt (Mingo? I don't know how important names are given that I'd trade anybody straight up for Watt)

    2.) Gerald McCoy? Suh? I'd really like to have a beast in the middle over Rubin/Winn/Bryant

    3.) Kuechly or Clay Matthews (he keeps beasting up the ILB spot)

    More of a conversation starter with the kicker thing. Always good to leave better choices on the table for others

    If it were QB, l'd probably go Luck. Watt is hatd to pass up for a non-QB.

    I always liked Dawson. I remember an earlier interview when he was still a Brown where he said he wanted to close out his playing days on the west coast. It was at least honest, but l see where you're coming from WSS.

  • OK, how about this:

    1) Identify who you think is the weakest player on the team, assuming everybody healthy (and nobody suspended)

    2) Who would you pick to replace them from the league and why?

    I'd make that the weakest actual starter.

    I thought that was implied, otherwise you'd do what Zombo did and swap a 4th string TE for a starter from elsewhere.

  • Well possibly but I thought picking your weakest starter and swapping him out was kind of implied as well. Still trading an average starter for a great one at a more important position makes sense I mean we could trade our long snapper for the Pro Bowl snapper but it wouldn't improve the team as much as trading somebody for JJ Watt.

  • Yeah I wouldn't count special teams. But is JJ Watt as big of an upgrade from Desmond Bryant as, say, Patrick Peterson from Buster Skrine? Or Justin Houston over Mingo? Kuechly over Kirksey? Megatron over Gabriel? Gronk over Cameron?

  • I think Id trade Miles Austin for Sammy Watkins, just to mess with some people.

    Then Id have Sammy AND the Bills pick. Might not make the team better, but it sure would be funny. 😉

    This was kinda tough, but l'll go Craig Robertson for K. Mack.

  • Lanning for watt/Nelson/luck/Rodgers/or any starting fantasy beast. What a stupid question to ask to get across u don't like our kicker whom has neither been a stud or a dud. Good job dummy

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

  • JJ Watt for any one of the current defensive starters, with the only exception being Haden.

  • Tough call ....either Ben Tate for West or Trent Richardson for Crowell ...on the other hand that back up QB at Dallas looked quite good the other week

  • Let's replace Ben Tate with Josh Gordon.

  • Luck for hoyer no brainer

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Yeah... has to be starter swap... also should be same position otherwise....

    Offensive Starter: Nick McDonald for the youngest "elite" QB, Luck...

    Defensive Starter: Robertson for Watt.

    But if impose same position then...

    O: Hoyer for Luck.

    😧 Robertson for Khalil Mack.
