    I am getting very tired of this...

    Can anyone make a case that it is actually true?

    I don't think a short QB needs tall WRs any more than a tall QB needs tall WRs.

    But if I were to play devil's advocate and make a case, guess I'd start with Brees throwing to Colston and Graham.

    Agree with that. Taller WRs tend to have larger catch radii plus the bulk and strength to fight for passes. That benefits any QB.

    First thing a QB does is read the coverage. How do taller WRs help him do that?

  • My question is why he chose Cal/Stanford over MSU/OSU

    Possible they have already put more homework in on those two teams and as Tour said, Farmer wanted some time with the West Coast scouting team.

    its old school & keeping it in the texas tree but, Staubach was thought to be small compared to his WR's but he was 6' 3" but never looked it on tv. Romo back, but with T. Williams, Whitten & Dez, Tony still looks small. JM with our Hobbits Corp of WR's. It's OK to Dream Big!!

  • Seems like our problem was having tall RXs with stone hands. These guys now maybe short but have far fewer dropped passes. Not perfect but better.

  • I'd trade down, and get two first round picks.

    I'd draft a qb like Hogan in the second?

    Of course, it's ridiculously early...

    and draft a wr and Elliot in the first round.

    Then, I'd find some lb's.

    And had Farmer stayed in CLE for the weekend the Headline would have been:

    "Farmer is Sitting at Home on His Ass When There is Work to be Done".

    I've no doubt he was QB hunting. As early as we may be picking, if there's a #1 out there, he'd better find that out. Add that he got face time with his West Coast scouts... pretty worthwhile trip.

    Meanwhile should JM prove out over the rest of the season... great! But the time to see the Stanford/Cal blend of talent was this past Saturday... and more Saturdays are coming.

    Keep hitting the road, Ray.

    Yea, I am surprised. I though Rodger the Dodger was like 6'0"

    So, which Hobbit if Johnny?

    Stanford's Kevin Hogan....

    I wouldn't count him out. He's everything I'd look for in a qb

    for the Browns. We'll see how JM fares in rest of the season.

    I still think JM is too short to be a consistent miracle worker.

    He sure looked tough coming back against ND last night. Nice touch on long passes. I can certainly see why Ray might have wanted a closer look

    And Cal's Goff looked good in the comeback win over Arizona St. last nigh.

  • Caught Hogan's final act last nite... nice final throw to another promising Stanford TE. Only pause is arm strength which looks good, but not great.

    The best part was the look on Hogan's face wondering who the dumbass was that burned their final time out with 6 seconds left.

    It's your Defense that continues to lose games, Ray. Than your Hobbit Crew of WR's. Than yes your over achieving QB's that you have under contract till 2017. Lot can happen if you fix what's wrong first.

    Interesting......perhaps we should attribute Hobbit Names to our Hobbit WRs:

    Bilbo

    Frodo

    Pippin

    Merry

    Samwise

    Maybe a Dwarf or two thrown in: Gimli, Thorin

    Who is who?
