Justin Gilbert
-
i'm the biggest gilbert fan on here (well supporter i should say...). i think he needs something to go his way and obviously right now playing CB vs. the ones is not it. as someone else had suggested put him at PR/KR. i think if he suceeds at that, gets with the flow of the game, it might transfer to other aspects of the game.
if not, then he'll just be another on a pile of players i'd hoped that would make it big in cleveland.
oh well.........

Didn't Haden take a couple of years to blossom?

His coaches might remind him. Press clippings might be posted in the locker room. People will send him stuff. Twitter. Etc.
I am sure coaches keep up with twitter to give Gilbert his daily updates.

Your sarcasm is neither funny nor poignant. Try a new schtick for once. Like constructively talking about the Browns.

My recollection is iffy at best, but l do recall a rocky first half of his rookie season, but by the second half there were signs that things were clicking and a sense that he wasn't at least a bust.
Season number 2 he seemed to make headway into the solid cornerback department, but yeah, it seemed it was season 3 by the time he was the gold standard.
Haden was definitely ahead of where Gilbert is when Haden was where Gilbert is now.

I remember skrine getting demolished on this board for a long time. He kept improving and became a valuable player just in time to sign a nice contract somewhere else. I'm not saying that Gilbert will do the same, but it isn't unprecedented.

Which is fine for a 5th round pick, not #8 overall. Higher expectations unfortunately.

I wasn't trying to be funny. I was letting you know how ridiculous your position is on it. I don't know if kids growing up now are just made of Charmin and presume everyone else is or should be as influenced by what someone says on social media as they tend to feel. Others didn't grow up with needing everyone to tell them how they are wonderful and unique snowflakes.

If what fans and media are saying seriously affect his play, he's not cut out to be a professional athlete.

This.

Lets give him a cookie and a participation reward, maybe he feel better.
-
Unfortunately he was chosen even before JF and has that image to compete with. Which one looks like they will do anything to change the way they play the game and brings that intensity/fire now to every game and practice? Which one shows the greatest potential right now to up their game to another level and work their way into a starting role at some point? Who really shows they want it bad as a Browns player?
He needs to hang out with JF and let some of that desire to excel rub off.
-
If he spent all summer with Joe Haden and it didn't rub off, nothing will.

Maybe Gilbert needs his own hype man for confidence like Ali had Bundini Brown. COVER YOUNG MAN COVER.....AAAARRRRRRRHHHHH !If what fans and media are saying seriously affect his play, he's not cut out to be a professional athlete.

And not everyone lives in your " I walked uphill both ways to school in 6 feet of snow", the one where men ignored their feelings and treated women like property, then puff out their chest after "railing" the wife while she snickered at your lack of virility.I wasn't trying to be funny.

Your world is so much better. Cause it allows you, supposedly an adult male, to get overly emotional and irrational over a game. You watch a male soap opera, yuk it up to the point where you throw any value judgements out the window and act a fool because?
So you think being a sports fan is cause enough to act like a like child with you remarks? At least woman understand soap operas are entertainment, and thus should be considered as such.
I get it....the team owes you something because you buy the hear and go to the games. But Cleveland has some downright terrible fans....people that are so obsessed (lmao) that sports affects their lives. Sorry, rather pathetic in my eyes. Sports are supposed to be fun, but so many Cleveland fans think winning in sports actually means something. Its just an inferiority complex...

Even before our other bust?
You are reduced to comparing Johnny to Gilbert to make him look good?
Johnny still hasn't done shit, if I were betting on which one would end up starting more games in the NFL, I would still go with Gilbert, but they are both huge-ass disappointments so far. Johnny may have the right attitude this year, but where are the big-time NFL play making skills?

You inferred a whole lot from me telling someone that an adult man should not be upset over what is said about him on social media or in a news paper. I am sure your husband gets an earful.

It's all the more proof, that ya have to draft players who love the game, and have
the character to be a good addition to your locker room and stay on the field..., and a work ethic
that gets them successful quickly.
This last draft shows that throught the last round. Gilbert may still all of a sudden start proving
that he can be a stud cb.
I just don't see the love for the game, which is probably a distraction on the field. Who knows,
it's just trying to figuring out what's goin on with him. We'll just have to hope he has his "personal issues"
resolved soon.

Gip. I am a huge fan of yours. Yours are among the posts that I always make a point of reading... But like the classic Great White track, I'm afraid this is a case of Once Bitten, Twice Shy... I'm not a hater... just a observer of human behavior... dude got beat 11 times in scrimmage, and smoked in the Redskins game... I think by this point, he just wants to go away and hide, and hope nobody notices him. Wish I was wrong.

Maybe all that is true.....but I have seen guys go a couple of years in the league before the light bulb goes on. It can happen here, and considering what the team has invested in him I think they need to give him time. The alternative is if we have so many people that are apparently so much more talented than him that we cannot let them go thus denying him a dedicated roster spot.
