    wasn't alex smith a topic of convo on this board years ago and everyone nayed nayed me when i said yay?

    i guess when your franchise is sliding down the pit to hades, everything and everyone is worth a shot.

    manning? Shmuck no. keep on believing FAKE media. reaching for straws now are we? why would he want his legacy be remembered as flop biz-wise to join this 'winning' org? like he walks on rarified football water?

  • Here is a scenario that I heard speculated on on the radio the other day:

    A. After the bye week......Haslam appoints Peyton Manning as Director of Football Operations

    B. Immediately thereafter, and before the trade deadline, Peyton engineers a trade with the 1-6 NY Giants to bring QB Eli Manning to become the QB of the Cleveland Browns.

    C. With Eli on board....his contract runs another couple of years, Peyton  investigates which young QB that will come along should be brought in here via the draft or otherwise, and Peyton and Eli groom this young QB to take over for Eli. 

    D.  They bring Archie Manning on board also, unofficially to help with this selection process.

    The Mannings have a substantial history with bringing along young QBs through their Quarterback Academy.  I mean, really, who would be better than these guys to evaluate quarterback potential?  Then you ask....what about the other 21 positions?  They would obviously still have a full scouting staff on hand for that....and Peyton would not be "GM", but DFO.

    So....what do you think about dem apples?

    That's like the "when I hit the lottery" scenario to me, I'm going to buy a nice vacation home, new cars for everyone, travel the world........

    .......oh if I remember to buy a ticket first, oh and if my numbers all come out. Oh.

    I'd love to see a situation like that really come true in sunny Cleveland, Ohio but with each passing failing year it gets harder. (Didn't Holmgreen get involved once?)  Love to see it but I'm still holding my breath. GO BROWNS!

    I must admit, you are way younger than I thought DieHard. Miktoxic is a tad thinner than I expected too.

    So bad. Their owner is a grade A dbag too.

    The NE has the best pizza. Mom and Pop joints.

    Im sure you have places like that in Ohio too.

    Youngstown has probably the best overall pizza in NE Ohio. Lots of ol' school family pizzerias.

    I'm Italian, so I have an affinity for family-owned pizza joints over chains.

    Yes theres quite a few places.. Pettis Pizza in Wickliffe, Calas Pizza in Willowick, Prestis in Murry Hill.. All very good..

    I’d still prefer to find a guy in the draft that can be our QB for the next 15 years, but if we’re going the veteran route bring on Alex Smith.  Eli is already washed up, no use putting him on the youngest roster in football.

    The pizza is not great but Schnatter (sp?)seems like an okay guy.

    Chain pizza shops are rarely excellent. 

    Antonio's based in Cleveland is an exception to that rule so is Uno out of Chicago.

    Otherwise I'd say the best our local and almost every city has one or two. Or more.

  • Alex smith.......another qb that IS NOT COMING TO CLEVELAND JESUS FUKKING CHRIST. Do some of u think he's got a titty boner thinking about going from first to worst? He's staying in KC to try to win a SB, its his last best chance now. If that window closes and they move on with mahommes he's retiring a chief u numpties. Dudes made plenty of money he wont feel the need to risk more CTE on a last paycheck from jimmy where he will get hit more than he ever has in his life

    think about it

  • Pfffft, if he gets traded he has no say, and how often does a 33 year old QB turn down millions to avoid going to a bad team?

    He'll avoid going to the browns bank on it. He'll retire before accepting that trade. And im not in the mood for KC's asking price which will be the #1 pick. We take that pick and draft a QB

  • I don’t think Alex Smith is that big of a bitch to turn down 20 mil plus just to avoid the Browns.  Smith was traded to a 2-14 team in a rat Sheet city and didnt seem to mind.  I’d rather draft a QB as well, but if the browns are going to trade for a veteran QB, smith seems To hit all the criteria:

    -worth acquiring

    -on a team willing to trade him

    -not too far over the hill. 

    Ideally the browns just make the right pick and we don’t have to worry about who the QB will be until 2032, but a few years of a legit nfl starter while the future waits in the wings isn’t a bad option either

    Oh yeah I remember a lot of the "not there any more joints" along with the ones that survived in the Youngstown/Warren area,  not bad for that size metropolitan area. 

    And yes nothing like another pizza thread hijacking a boring BROWNS thread......plus we always found Papa John's pizza a bit greasy but no need to settle we have plenty others!

  • One of the best in the country, bank it:

    Hey mjp, you should have been here in "The Dark Years" of no football back in the 90's.  🙂 Notice the who should we draft threads are already starting, and it's not even November?  

    Dayton pizza? Thin crust- Marion's. You want East Coast Neapolitan- Flying Pizza, honorable mention to Joe's.  PS the only chain worse than Papa John's is Pizza Hut. 

  • I saw P. Manning in the stands at the WS game 2 last nite...

    Clearly he is going to be announced as the Dodgers' new GM as soon as the Series is over...
