"With the First Pick of the 2018 Draft, the Browns Select..."
-
You can’t just keep drafting and ruining qb’s, a qb needs a supporting cast and frankly drafting another one so high will in my opiniOn only set the team back. You draft Barkley and take pressure off whatever quarterback is under center and if that doesn’t work out then you draft a quarterback. I personally like kizer but he was put in with an uphill battle. I don’t think Crowell is bad but he’s not scaring anyone. Barkely is a multifaceted threat with good blitz pick up. You draft Barkley and don’t look back and watch kizer improve.
I don't think you have a clue. The Browns keep drafting bad QBs. They do nothing to "ruin" them.....they ruin themselves. It is the bad QBs that ruin the Browns, not the other way around.
That would be like saying that BR really has no effect on the Steelers winning or losing.
Quarterbacks matter. None of these QBs that you claim the Browns ruined went on to any other situation and did one bit better. They simply proved that they were as mediocre or as bad as they were here.
Now, I am not saying that some of these QBs were not put into bad situations....they were. But they weren't ruined by those. They just proved that they were not good enough to handle them.

Ben had a great defense, solid offensive line, offensive weapons. You don’t just plunk down a rookie qb and expect fireworks and wins. Yes the browns have ruined quarterbacks, namely Tim couch. Kizer isn’t a bad qb either, he’s a rookie with nothing around him.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

Draft Barkley? right- how many Super Bowls has Adrian Peterson been to? Landainan Tomlinson?
Get real. We passed on Wentz, took a bum in Kizer. He's a slightly better version of Akilli Smith. Reminds me a lot of the bad RG III also. Watch much of Deshone? His accuracy is terrible, something I duly noted before the draft. Yup, we get Gordon back in December, and Kizer will be throwing the ball 7 feet over his head too. It's not like we haven't tried drafting QBs- we've just drafted the wrong ones.

Rivers is a playoff choke artist otherwise the chargers had a great roster for a while. Peterson never had a qb because they never drafted a good one. They reached on ponder and Peterson tainted his career in the midst of bridgewater who also caught the injury bug.

His offensive line is a sieve, but make no mistake, Allen can make all the throws look easy. What an arm.
Hes going to be special. The Browns must take him. This is it and taking Allen will change the Browns franchise forever for the good. Fvck Darnold.
Allen looked like crap. This is the 3rd game i have watched this year with him and he is totally unimpressive. If the Browns pick him he will be another for the t-shirt of shame.

He has not even completed 60% of his college passes against mediocre teams, even last year with better players. Ridiculous pick for a pro team.

I am interested to see how the QBs shape up between now and the draft. Someone will jump to the top of the heap.

jm looked great in games. I'm sure ryan leaf looked great in games. I don't know how you can only see a great arm.
He looks off safeties, he scans the field quickly, gets rid of the ball quickly if he has a chance at all, and he can
run, can easily make all the throws, is a multi-sport athlete, and he is very, very accurate.
and very, very smart. excellent character, loves the game....oh, he is the top qb in this draft in my book of Wentz was the
perfect qb.

Cal, he's accurate 1\2 the time, just like Kizer. Some of the throws Allen makes are not anywhere near the receiver. Second round prospect- we already have one on our roster...

When Ben is not in the game the Steeler offense is worse than terrible......... even WITH that line and weapons. Bens presence makes a HUGE difference.
Tell the truth and shame the devil.

This pick is going to change a 100 times in the next 6 months, but I'm having doubts about Saquon Barkley now. He's only rushed over 100 yards 3 times this season, and he gets bottled up too often. The backs that seem to have dominant impacts are built more like Fournette and Gurley, although Dalvin Cook was on his way to having a solid season before injury.
At this time, there isn't a QB worthy of the #1 pick, nor is there a defensive talent like Myles Garrett. It's pretty much the absolute worst year ever to have the first pick, which is kind of funny when you think about it. It's just more crap wrong with us. No elite qb, WR, DE, or really anything you'd want to pick first. That sounds about right.
As far as qb's, I'm close to being on the "Baker Mayfield Wagon". He's got the emotion I like, the ability to improvise, the confidence to make the throws, the ABILITY to execute, and he's someone that could breathe LIFE into our stagnant offense.
Let me clarify, Mayfield isn't someone you take with the FIRST pick, but I'd be fine with selecting him with our second 1st rounder. I don't care where the dang experts have him going. Mayfield looks like he'd be FUN to watch. Remember fun?

Cal he overthrows constantly just like the Kaiser does now and completes less that 60% of his passes both last year and this year. How you can say he is accurate given the 2nd tier teams he plays is beyond me. I think this season has hit your desperation button. High 50% is not an accurate arm regardless of level. He was even overthrowing simple wide open passes to the RB in the flat. Sorry, he is not the answer.

I imagine the same exact words were used with Johnny Manziel replacing Baker Mayfield a few years ago.

I completely agree with this so you're probably wrong
Taking this one step further last year at draft time all we heard about was 2018 "Year of the QB" so picks were amassed to make a great play, how's that looking.
God I wish we would just draft talent with high picks and get contributors.

OU is my favorite college team and there is no comparison between Mayfield and Manziel, Manziel was much more talented. Baker is a great college QB but he is in an incredible offense with fantastic players around him. If the Browns were looking to draft Sooners Zeus Brown, CeeDee Lamb and Mark Andrews and Dimitri Flowers in the late rounds would be on my list.

I've read two differing opinions on Orlando Brown: Both were positive, but one said that he definitely can be a LT in the NFL, while the other said that he most likely will have to move to RT. What say you?

RT, tends to get chippy if he is getting push around. He could be dominate on the right side if the pressure is off of him. If he had Trent Williams mentality he'd be a LT.

about Allen - yes, he has had some tough games, vs Nebraska he had a terrible game. He has thrown without his feet set
because he is usually buying time in the pocket because he doesn't have a great cast around him, including the offensive line
and wr's. He has a few bad habits. But he is also very, very accurate, when in rhythm. Most qb's have to be coached up a bit
when they get to the pros. But check out last year:
-
You don't get that by being inaccurate, not a good ball placement guy.
However, admittedly, he has times when the ball sails, etc. Let's compare how tough it is to adapt to
the NFL:
10/08/17 - QB Ben Roethlisberger threw a career-high five interceptions in Pittsburgh's 30-9 home loss to Jacksonville on Sunday.That's the most interceptions thorwin in one game by a Steelers quarterback since Mark Malone in 1987. The 35-year-old Roethlisberger contemplated retirement during the offseason. "He's not playing well, man," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. "I'll let him speak for him." Roethlisberger now has a passer rating of 75.8, which would be his worst for an entire season since he posted a 75.4 passer rating in 2006
and that is in the pros.
Interestingly, here is a write up on Kizer's faults:
Downside: Got too heavy by end of last season. Was at 250 pounds by USC game. Has taken a lot of hits in two years as runner and passer. Athletic testing numbers at combine were just OK. On-field throwing session in Indy was not great as he looked robotic with some of his throws to the left. Far more efficient throwing to his right. Some of his passing production was schemed up off play action. Mechanics seem to break down often, especially late in games. Tries to make off-balance or “hero” throws that lead to problems. Can hold onto ball too long, waiting for receivers to get open. Shaky ball-handling at times. Too turnover-prone, averaging more than one per game and throwing picks in 15 of his 23 college starts. Will lock onto and stare down his primary receiver, make poor reads and force balls into traffic:
NO qb is perfect. No player if perfect. Btw, I couldn't find a rothrapistbooger nfl profile, so....he did play at Miami of Ohio though,
and had a terrific cast of players around him, even when I was at Kent , Miami was a power player in the MAC.
I figure if rothlicksbooger had played for Wyoming, he wouldn't have done much more than Allen, who knows.
We'll see if he wows everybody at the combine and workouts - he won't have to be running most plays to avoid sacks, etc.
But the intangibles are tough to find. Kizer - doesn't have em.
-
So, this is interesting:
guess who this is:
"Weaknesses
When rolling out, will float it a little too much when taking shots down the field. Allows passing windows to close quickly when he short arms his release. Needs a little more consistency on anticipatory throws outside the hash. Will get caught locking in on target bringing secondary charging in to make a play on the ball. Inconsistent footwork from the pocket. Arm gets ahead of his feet even with time to come to balance. Needs to pick up pace of his post-snap setup. Has to put a little extra air on his field-side throws. Can be a little flat with his downfield, touch throws. Has to eliminate the occasional nonchalant throw into tight quarters. Doesn't look comfortable yet with bootleg rollouts to the left. Broke a bone in his throwing wrist in October sidelining him for eight weeks. Dealt with arm and shoulder injuries as a baseball player in high school. Lower level of competition could cause issues for him adapting to NFL speed. "
Hint: it isn't this draft. Sure, there are things Josh Allen has to work on, but he has IT.
and, the qb above? Carson Wentz.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/carson-wentz?id=2555259
I say, Josh Allen is this draft's Carson Wentz. The defense rests, your honor. (Gipper reference)
-
I'm sold on this kid. The comparison to Wentz is amazing. They play for the same head coach, same offense, fer cryin out loud.
Josh Allen is going to be terrific. He is the Browns' number one pick, even if I have to call sashi brown and tell him to STFU
and just draft him. LOL
But seriously, read up on Allen - he's the very real deal.
