Dwayne Bowe is a Brown
-
To me, this forebodes the fact that the Browns will likely NOT be going for a WR high in the draft....if at all.
I reiterate: Farmer thinks that using picks on WRs, players that touch the ball rarely in his opinion, is fruitless. He would rather have a proven veteran WR than an unproven rookie. Pretty clear with his actions in signing Bowe/Hartline.
While this probably also means goodbye to Miles Austin....or is it Austin Miles, you never know. Farmer may want him back (but with Hawkins, Taylor Gabriel, Travis Benjamin, Marlon Moore plus Bowe and Hartline, roster spots will be scarce.
To me, this forebodes the fact that the Browns will likely NOT be going for a WR high in the draft....if at all.
I was speculating about this earlier, thinking that signing both him AND hartline would pretty much nix a WR in the first......
Maybe there is still a scenario that they would pick one high....but I think it's much less likely now......

Have contract terms been released yet?
-
not my fave player. think he is over-rated. BUT now he's a brown so belly up mother Fer!
here's to setting the browns season high reception/ypc record this coming season. cheers!

I'm a little concerned about whether or not the needle points to E or F. I'm going to be optimistic.

I wouldn't say that, Bowe is a plug and play guy but only for a few years. It would't surprise me to see them snag Parker, or Green-Beckam(yes I know huge risk) at 19. We still need a guy for the future to develop. Bowe won't be around that long. But yes your right, it is more likely that we will not make the pick.

But, it is Ray Farmer and not you picking. I believe Farmer wants nothing to do with a WR that is a "guy for the future to develop". The concept appears anathema to him. He wants guys already developed. (though he will take a shot with a UDFA....like Taylor Gabriel....but there is no investment there except the little money it costs to get a guy like that in camp)

I kind of like the sound of that Gipper. Bring in guys that have proven to catch the fucking ball. That is the most important. Yeah, it's nice to fly through the air and snag the ball with one hand and backflip over the first defender for a first down, and maybe someday we'll get that guy. But for right now, at least until Gordon comes back, we'll probably build defense and that's okay. Just win baby.
With Mack returning, Manziel maturing and some solid WRs- I don't think we've seen this offense yet.
Manziel with a solid O-Line and time to learn the new playbook.... hmm, I promise you ALL Manziel is doing in rehab is learning the playbook.

not right, but more than likely right??...ok, Ill take it....
the contradiction here is when you say take White/Green at #19 cause we need developmental talent....
Where I see developmental talent coming much later than #19 .....

Short Stuff can learn the playbook all he wants. Memorization isn't his issue.

Damn it, I hope they have something more up their sleeve at the QB position than what you are excited about.

NO ONE but you perhaps is counting on JFF much this coming season. I certainly am not.
Its not that he is Persona non Grata, he is just Non Hac Mentis

Bowe clearly isn't the WR he was in 2010
But at age 30, he is still young enough to maybe recapture those statistics he had a couple years back. But with McClown and Rehab throwing him the ball, I doubt it.
In this run-oriented offense the Browns are going to run, I can foresee Bowe averaging 700-900 yds this season, depending on which trash can throws the ball his way. Would be a great 1-2 punch if fuckstick didn't get suspended again for lack of sobriety..
Lets hope he works out.

Can I get a ruling from our rehab folks here? Is this as idiotic as it sounds to me? Would rehab really allow a patient to bring the source of anxiety that pushes him to abuse into rehab?
He burnt that bridge as far as I'm concerned Tour.
Disagree, but doesn't matter since I was being ironic about Bowe being a bridge.
Bowe clearly isn't the WR he was in 2010
Why should he be? It was is one great year.
But his mediocre hands, imprecise route running and time-diminished speed are ours for two years. Whoopee!
