"With the First Pick of the 2018 Draft, the Browns Select..."
-
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?
I imagine the same exact words were used with Johnny Manziel replacing Baker Mayfield a few years ago.

Mayfield is JFF except with a few more inches. Exciting college football QB. But a Not Ready for Prime Time NFL QB.

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.
Of course it makes a difference he is one of the best in the league. However what offense in the nfl doesn’t suffer without their franchise qb? It’s kind of a moot point isn’t it? And that also wasn’t my point. My point was when Ben was a rookie he had a team around him, almost all the pieces were in place so he didn’t need to “carry the team” and damage his confidence if things went poorly.

No, you point was that the Browns ruined QBs. That is just what you claimed. Ergo.....you are saying that all these QBs would have been good otherwise if they had not been drafted by the Browns.
Which, of course, is complete cow manure. By your theory then....if by chance BR had been drafted by the Browns....he never would have become a good QB because the Browns would have ruined....which, again, is complete and udder horse shite.
So....perhaps then what we here all should be saying is: too bad the Browns didn't draft him, so that we could have had the opportunity to ruin that turd of a human being...and to have driven him out of the league. (at least he was then)
So...then what? The Steelers would have had to take someone else? LIke Brady Quinn.....who would have become the second coming or who? Terry Bradshaw? Stupid
-
nope. the new qb for the Browns will be Josh Allen. Hogan and Kizer can back him up.
We passed on Wentz, big colossal mistake - Allen is the Wentz type - just draft him - he's the
real deal.
I saw Josh Allen twice this year and I thought he looked great. I would certainly hope the Browns would consider him but I think they will pass on him for two reasons, 1 being their analytics do not see Josh as a first or 2nd round draft pick and 2 being he doesn't come from a big name school. I believe the Steelers will scoop him up in the second round as a back up for Ben with the aim of having him replace Ben. But in any case I hope you're right and the Browns come to their senses and get a real blue collar QB leader.

He looks Native American....is he?
-
I will declare right now that I am out of the "preferring we draft one QB or the other" business. I was all on for MT last year, and that didn't happen. I was on for them taking Bosa the year before, and that didn't happen.
So, whatever they do, they do....and I am not going to advocate for one player or another. I see no major, major talent out there anywhere....so I am not going to worry about it.
It has become just too much the theater of the absurd.....so I am going to choose to not buy a ticket to see that show.

Another Allen supporter. Same message. He is not an NFL QB. He was missing wide open players this past Sat. with no pressure. Imagine the same with substantial pressure. And this is 3 games I've seen with him now (BSt. NM CSU). 10 of 20 against CSU is not an NFL QB. Take a look at the past two years (you can switch from 2017 to 2016 in this) and tell me that he is NFL material. He is not and the stats reflect exactly what I have seen in those 3 games this year. The better the team the worse he plays.

Against Power 5 teams he's pitiful
-
wait, "the better the team the worse he plays" ?
well, yeah. The better the opponent, the worse the entire offense plays regardless of how good your qb is.
stats often don't mean what people think they mean. (take a note, Sashi.)

Ag, rest your case looking at those stats....Is Wyoming outgunned playing the likes of Oregon? Sure, but you can't totally suck against them either.

Old news. Give up yet on defending Savior Josh?
He'll be a NFL QB and will do well. He's big, strong and has an arm. His accuracy is on very good and will only improve once he adapts to NFL play. He has adapted, improved and succeeded at each level he's competed in. Intangibles such as adapting and improving are a commodity in the NFL and is a foreign concept to the Browns. The Browns' FO fixates on flash and past performance and is blind to other traits such as a QB's consistent overthrowing of receivers (which Josh Allen has demonstrated) that indicate his arm strength out paces his supporting cast. Although he is big he can move which will allow him to extend plays when the pocket breaks down. The Browns will not select him for a plethora of reasons but I believe that Josh Allen will be picked up and he will succeeded in the NFL. So I haven't given up on Josh and he's no Savior for the Browns because they'll select another with flash and no substance just like the party boy from A&M.

I see you have chosen to ignore the stats that tell no lies about how bad he gets as the competition gets better. Just what we need, another interception machine that overthrows everything when under legitimate pressure. Can't wait for this!

oh, not again. A terrific qb from a small school with no real good cast around him, plays a lot more talented, powerful team,
and the qb doesn't play better, has a worse day. Who woulda thunk that.
Seriously, that just is amusing to use that as a criticism of the young qb's skills.

And release crow. Sign a free agent WR. Draft another big Tight end. Start building the offense. We have a line, and a good structure for the D. If we can never score, we'll never be any good.

Since when is Colorado State a powerhouse? FWIW college, Wentz 63% completion rate, Allen 55% I'd say that's significant Cal. Can't help you if you've fallen in love with him. I got off the love boat after seeing him play.

Colorado State is not a powerhouse. Hell Colorado isn't a powerhouse these days. The 2nd sentence is the key. 63% for Wentz, 55% for Cal's boyfriend. 55% against the minor leagues in the Mountain West isn't going to get it done. I bet Kizer was around that same 55% or so in college and guess what...he's still inaccurate.

Jake Locker was another college QB who struggled with accuracy, still got picked high, and didn't find accuracy at the highest level either.
-
again - Wentz, who was my number one pick in every mock draft, and I didn't want Goff.... had a far better
team around him than Allen. And the offense was in place for a lot less time. The same hc for Wentz at N. Dakota..
is Josh Allen's hc at Wyoming. NO qb can have good stats when he doesn't have talent around him, and often the talent
is far better on the other team.
It isn't just me, either. I see greatness in the abilities of the kid, regardless of the freakin stats.

"Allen, 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, was anointed NFL draft royalty after a sophomore season in which he passed for 3,203 yards and 28 touchdowns, prompting one league executive to tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “You can put it in the books — Josh Allen will be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft next year.” That’s not the consensus now; recent mock selections from CBS Sports, USA Today and Pro Football Focus don’t even have Allen being drafted in the first round. Bleacher Report, though, lists Allen at No. 6 overall.
The wide range of opinion stems from Allen’s lackluster 2017 statistics and a playing style that both befuddles and inspires. Wyoming graduated starting center Chase Roullier and four players — wide receivers Tanner Gentry and Jake Maulhardt, running back Brian Hill and tight end Jacob Hollister — who accounted for 47 touchdowns on the 2016 team. That attrition led Allen to try to play hero ball this season"
CS qb Stevens had a lot better stats, maybe mark thinks he's the superior qb.
Trouble is, he had a lot better cast of players around him:
"Stevens, meanwhile, has thrived at CSU thanks in part to a strong supporting cast that features the nation’s leading receiver in Michael Gallup (1,167 yards), an offensive line that has allowed only four sacks and tailbacks Dalyn Dawkins and Izzy Matthews, who have combined to rush for 1,438 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Kizer needs someone to make him look good.
