Kessler looking good so far

Browns_Fucking_Rule

I also thought he threw a beautiful long ball that was incomplete because the rookie receiver slowed down while trying to locate football.

you are correct, Louis should have caught that ball for sure. He worked to close to the sideline

What's the over/under on Mingo having a pick 6, 3 sacks, or something else incredible on Kessler? LOL.

Kessler has not shit the bed and that's good, but he also has not shown "franchise" potential... yet.

Look at the running attack that he has been the beneficiary of. And when it was eliminated late Kess kinda folded... and that's fine for now. Chalk it up to OJT.

The game did appear to slow some in his second start... right up to that bad INT he threw behind Pryor... late.

The Eagles entire plan was to tank, just like us (even though you don't like it). It didn't work out that way, but this had NOTHING to do with "faith" in Wentz.

They wanted to tank so we get another high pick?

Not yet. But that is something a good s & c coach can help him improve.

When has that ever happened at the pro level?

Just another game manager at best.

High picks aren't just for the first round...

"Game manager" is what Tom Brady is to New England, I'll take it

syd

i like him better than rg and j.m, as someone else here said i would just name him the starter for the rest of the year,what do we have to lose

We get a few wins under his belt and it will come together. I really do think we have a team coming together here and they say the first win is the hardest to get but we are not far off. Take out the first game of the season and we been in every game so far.

So here is the question we need to ask about the "non-NFL body". Is he the next Drew Brees? Watched that lil old guy bring his team way back to a win the last 5 min. yesterday. Still amazing for a guy that size. Still able to read D's like he wrote the book.

....and Brees didn't read Ds like that in his rookie year. I love Kessler's accuracy, poise, work ethic, & willingness to address his own shortcomings. There is a lot to work with in the kid. Personally, at this point, I do not see a dominant college QB for next years draft, so if Kessler continues to progress, why not go heavy on D early next draft?

Best post everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

In fact, why not go heavy D no matter what....if Hue gets 4 WR's.....then Mud should get 4 LB's AND 4 CB's......fair is fair

Edit.....and sign a few OL in FA......(which should have already happened....but, I digress.......)

I think no matter what they will have to address defense. A Myles Garrett plus one other defensive player first round would be damn nice.

I like Kessler so far. But I'm going to need to see him stretch the field (if he can).

Almost everything has been very short passes. Defenses will defend a shorter field on him which will make it more difficult to run.

Obviously we need to draft defense....but we cannot forget about the OL.

And WR might still be an issue. Right now it's Pryor or nothing.

....we just drafted 4 of em....NO!

I keep hearing Higgins was a star at camp and Payton & Louis are solid too.....so play em!

(where is Higgins anyway???)

And Colemans just got a hand issue, he's not gone forever....no WR's in the draft(repeat repeat)

I also agree that we cannot forget about OL, but that can be addressed mid draft or later. Get the defensive PLAYMAKERS early.

It's true.

I think people are overstating the issues with the OL. Our run game is fine. We have the best left tackle in football. We have two guards that are really good. You don't need a dominant, first/second rounders across the board-type OL to win a championship. Yes, Dallas has it. So far, it's gotten them basically nothing.

To have three really good players on your OL is more than most teams. I think we worry too much just because we tasted a very good OL in 2014 (which still didn't land us a winning season) and people want to experience that again. I'm not saying don't draft any, but I'd like to make 100% sure Erving, Bailey, Pasztor, Reiter, Coleman, and Drango suck first. That's a lot of decent options. You hit on one, you've got 4 good players on your OL. Hit on 2, and you've got studs across the board. Why waste draft picks on it until you really know?

Let's shore up this defense in 2017 and I think we can win 6-8 next year with a solid wild card run in 2018 and a true SB contender thereafter. We are getting there. Patience, my friends.
