The Browns Board

  • Josh Allen? Really?

    Yes it's one of those bullshyt ESPN things that makes you join to read the whole thing but number one was surprising enough.

    Josh Allen? Really?

    He DID say that it's VERY early in the process.  

    The senior bowl could change Mel's draft board.  The Combine.  Free Agency could theoretically take QB right off our draft board.  And even Joe Thomas could put a dent in the board.

    BTW, I feel pretty sure that JT will let the Browns know his intentions before FA.

    as i said in a different thread I believe JT will finish out his contract Unless his back and knee tell him otherwise

  • as most players on this team, Joe likes playing for Hue, Hue respects Joe's career. Hue's contract thru 19,JT thur 18. JT has played with bad knee awhile, bad back, is kinda new, but he's played through that also. Joe's down 10 lbs,but I also say he try's to play to get Hue & team/town off 0 wins..Joe deserves to finish his career on his Terms..This Town can't & won't fault him on that.

    Just to add, listening to Red Zone tonight, Dieken said Joe's knee is feeling much better. He didn't get beat up for the entire season- we'll see what he decides to do...   

  • Mel Kiper blows.  He knows nothing about which team is taking which player, as has been proven by reviewing his past "prognostications".

  • It is so much fun doing mock drafts and going back to look at old mock drafts and better yet the old actual draft picks.......all the oooohs and aaaahhhhs and we coulda' hads.

    Kind of like if I only played 224 and 7056 I would have hit the lottery tonight! 😮 

    How many days until April 26?

    Everybody gets the mock drafts wrong. All the "experts" do. No "experts" know what what team is taking what player. It's all analysis/guesswork.

    I know Cal loves him some Josh Allen. If he had Rosen or Darnold's accuracy, he'd be a slam dunk #1 overall. Unfortunately, Mel has overlooked at this point in time Allen doesn't- and I have doubts he ever will. 

    And to mock Mel- I will never forget this one...  "mmmmuuuusssstttt draft Hart Lee Dykes". first round pick, shades of Corey Coleman.   😆 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DykeHa00.htm

    I have the same concerns you do about Allen, how much of his accuracy issues are him versus the receivers he has and the protection he gets. If his 56% is what it really is, we should pass.

    Explain how Allen is not just a Kizer clone.....since for both of them they appear to be big strong athletic guys.....who have trouble hitting the broad side of a barn door...according to some reports about Allen.   And what about the penchant for committing turnovers?  That...worse than his accuracy issues...is the downfall of Kizer.

    After watching 4 complete games of Allen- that's exactly my opinion Gip, he is a Kizer clone. That Mel would put him #1 on his big board means he's projecting (on a rumor he heard) Dorsey is going to be a Dork-sey, and draft him. Said it before- an inaccurate cannon is worthless in the pros...   

    As a counterpoint to Kiper...

    I likee Jeremiah's first mock draft much better, and screw Walter Football- he has us totally passing on a QB in the 2018 draft- he's getting blasted out of the water for that level of ignorance....

       Allen played in a pro-style offense, under an excellent coach.

    Allen raised the level of competitiveness of his offense, his entire team, really, with his play

    Allen plays with a chip on his shoulder, Kizer has sleepy eyes like Weeden.

    Allen has never been benched for not getting it.

    Allen inspired his entire college, home town, fans, his entire team.

    Allen has outstanding leadership/intangibles - his coach loves him.

    **********************************************

       Kizer never played in a pro-style offense.

    Kizer played with an excellent cast of players around him for the competition they faced.

    Kizer was benched because he wasn't getting it.

    Kizer had a college coach  who is not an excellent coach.

    Kizer didn't inspire his entire team, college or town - he was benched.

    Kizer hasn't shown outstanding leadership/intangibles - his coach benched him and criticized him.

    1) Who’s No. 1?

    There’s no clear answer here. Darnold threw 13 interceptions, fumbled the ball 11 times and his completion percentage dipped by 4.1 percent year over year. Allen wilted against decent competition, throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns against Iowa and Oregon. Rosen had 26 touchdown passes, but UCLA sputtered to a 6-7 record on the season. (Rosen missed the blowout loss at Utah with a concussion). Nobody has distanced themselves from one another.

    “I can see this thing playing out where any of the top three guys assert themselves as No. 1 at the NFL [scouting] combine,” said an area scout. “At the end of the season, Darnold and Rosen will have a chance to do it on a big stage. But if Allen was No. 1 [in April], I wouldn’t be shocked. They all have things they need to work on.”

    of course it isn't - until you watch his games, any highlight video. I mean "cannot hit the ..." and then he does it  all over the highlight films. You need "el kabong" to knock some sense in to ya? Of course he can.

         The allegation is simply "rah rah for the top rated brah" ya? That is as bs as showing 4 ints in a playoff game by Peyton Manning, and saying "see? he can't hit the broadside of a barn"

        If all you needed was accuracy, here's your qb:

    "Analysis

    Strengths

    XXX  has an NFL-quality frame that allows him to look over the offensive line and deliver his throws without a hitch. His quick release is his strongest asset, as he consistently fires the ball with a compact throwing motion and strong delivery. The ball zips off his arm, and he has the ability to fit it in any tight space. He is "all of the above" in terms of being a mature, poised leader. He is an accurate passer on throws short and long, and he has that gunslinger mentality to go for the deep ball when it's an option. He understands route progressions and throwing the ball to allow his receiver to make a play."

    I question Allen's ball placement and it was one of the first things that stood out when watching the Utah State game.

    I question Allen's ball placement and it was one of the first things that stood out when watching the Utah State game. 

    and as usual, you are wrong. Perhaps the definition of "can't" is lost on you.

    can't
    kant/
    contraction
    modal verb: can't
    1. cannot.

    Therefore, if I throw a football at a barn from 30 yards away, and I hit it once out of ten times, it is inaccurate to say I cannot hit the barn. What would be accurate, is to say I'm not able to hit it all the time. If a qb throws even one perfectly thrown pass, he CAN hit the broadside of a barn, he just may not do it often.

    Therefore, your curt retort misses the point. Are you unable to hit the broadside of a point? Sure you can - you just missed this time.

    Go ahead Cal- how long did it take you to find the outlier? Inaccurate in college= 9\10 times inaccurate in the pros.

    of course it isn't - until you watch his games, any highlight video. I mean "cannot hit the ..." and then he does it  all over the highlight films. You need "el kabong" to knock some sense in to ya? Of course he can.

         The allegation is simply "rah rah for the top rated brah" ya? That is as bs as showing 4 ints in a playoff game by Peyton Manning, and saying "see? he can't hit the broadside of a barn"

        If all you needed was accuracy, here's your qb:

    "Analysis

    Strengths

    XXX  has an NFL-quality frame that allows him to look over the offensive line and deliver his throws without a hitch. His quick release is his strongest asset, as he consistently fires the ball with a compact throwing motion and strong delivery. The ball zips off his arm, and he has the ability to fit it in any tight space. He is "all of the above" in terms of being a mature, poised leader. He is an accurate passer on throws short and long, and he has that gunslinger mentality to go for the deep ball when it's an option. He understands route progressions and throwing the ball to allow his receiver to make a play."

    An accurate passer with a 56% completion rate in college-compared to Mayfield's 70%+ You quoting Wee-Done, get the f outta here. 😆 so his receivers were dropping every other pass? Don't think so. I watched his games Cal, he's inaccurate as hell (you have as much rose colored glasses on on this guy as Po does on Barkley)- don't bring up Manning or anyone else. Highlight films mean crap, as tia just pointed out. Kizer's highlights were freaking spectacular too... $hit, you want me to drag up Kizer's 2017 "highlight" reel from 2017 with the Browns? You'd swear to God, he's the second coming of Brett Favre. Screw highlights without a fair and balanced look at the lowlights.... I just might do that for kicks and giggles...  . 

    Finally- quit arguing with me about the merits of your Dreamboat, Mother Hen. I've already told you (around 10X) I have a big pro Wyoming bias. If I honestly thought Allen was all that hot, I'd share your feelings. I don't and he's not.

    I have the same concerns you do about Allen, how much of his accuracy issues are him versus the receivers he has and the protection he gets. If his 56% is what it really is, we should pass.

    Explain how Allen is not just a Kizer clone.....since for both of them they appear to be big strong athletic guys.....who have trouble hitting the broad side of a barn door...according to some reports about Allen.   And what about the penchant for committing turnovers?  That...worse than his accuracy issues...is the downfall of Kizer.

    I haven't seen much of Allen so if he isn't accurate then pass on him, we already have plenty of QBs onthe roster with accuracy issues.
