  • lol... well it's good to know that good sarcasm did not go to waste...

    Yeah, it's hard... but I still see a difference between the path to past failures and what we are doing now. Do the results show that? Nah... not yet, but at least we are not plowing the same field we have for two decades and counting.

    As for areas... I feel you. If I said I saw the D collapsing today, I'd be lying. I don't see what Gregg was trying to do today in switching to let WRs run free under five yard cushions. I look forward to his explanation(s).

    Here's hoping that STs Game1, Offense Game 2 and Defense game 3 have run us out of options. Hope ain't much of a plan, but it's all we got for now...

  • I have been saying the last two years the 2018 qb class is much better than recent years.  We need to build a team around the qb before We pick up a quality rookie.  Last year we built the d stronger and plugged some holes.  Next year we will get a franchise qb.  So enjoy this years ride.

    Sorry if I'm not enjoying the ride this year. 

  • Baker Mayfield looks awesome so far. He put his foot straight up the Buckeyes' ass. I haven't seen much NCAAF this season cuz I'm busy on Saturdays, but from the HL's, Rosen and Mayfield seem to be playing the best.

    Mayfield seems better at eluding defenses than the cops

    Exactly right.

    It sucks that this season might be hard to watch with expectations so high.  But Sashi is a good GM and I believe he has his eye on a 2018 QB. Good things are ahead.

    Lol.

    Of course if I had his job we would have Mitch trubisky learning from Josh McCown with Malik Hooker and OJ Howard.

    You mentioned this....but I am still not sure how that could have worked out.  I think the Browns could only have gotten two of them. They could have taken MT at #1, then Hooker with like #10 or so....But:  In order to get 3 first round picks the Browns had to trade down in round one to get Peppers, then back up again to get Njoku.  

    Don't think it could have worked to get the three you mention.

    OU is my favorite college team but Mayfield's skill set will not translate to NFL success but darn good college QB

    I somewhat feel the same. I see Mayfield and I see a sober, more dedicated, more disciplined JFF. Those three modifiers give him a chance, a better chance, but his odds are not great.

    I mean, when JT Barrett stomped all over Oklahoma.....doing basically the same things that Mayfield does, no one touted him to become a good NFL QB.   Barrett has as much skill as Mayfield.  And neither, in my opinion, would make a good NFL QB.

    Has he had issues there?  Not that I have heard...but then, I don't pay much attention to him really.

    I mean...is he another "May Day in Moscow" guy?

  • Only if drunkenly running from the police and being a general all around tool counts as issues.

    He may not be leading the parade, but it sounds like he at least has one foot in Red Square.

  • Re: Kurt.  

    Had my curiosity.  Now he has my attention.  

  • Who’s Kurt?

  • Kurt Benkert: QB - UVA. 

    Tour is onto something with this kid.

    Possibly. But even in the worst case scenario we would have a starting quarterback capable of winning in the NFL. A much better College Prospect learning from him. A top-flight defensive back in hooker instead of a Gamble with peppers who may or may not be able to play that position in the NFL. N'joku sp?needs to prove he can play tight end in the league and at the very least we could still have Gary Barnidge who has. We would still have plenty of draft picks next season and put the final seasoning on the stew.

    Unless we hit on all of Sashi Browns rolls of the dice we are back to square one. Well not really back to, we've just never left Square One.

    Kurt?   Warner?  Vonnegut? Cobain? Russell? Rambis? Waldheim?
