Barkley at #1?
-
HOF QBs have won 12 of the last 15 Super Bowls. Who is the HOF QB in this bunch? Not 1 guy is creating the buzz of a E Manning or a Ben or a Brees when they were drafted.
Marshall Faulk won in 2000 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FaulMa00.htm
Marshwan Lynch won the Super Bowl in 2013 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LyncMa00.htm
Lynch helped Wilson win one as a rookie. The Browns would be crazy to pass on Barkley.
Brady didn't create ANY buzz before the draft. Brees was a 2nd rounder. Wilson didn't warrant even a 2nd. Mannings and Ben, yea maybe. Cam Newton created that buzz, so did RG3. And lets certainly not forget the freak coming in that was next big thing in Jamarcus Rusell. There was also real debate on 1st pick between Peyton and Ryan Leaf. If you think you can just spot a HOF before a snap in NFL, you are sadly mistaken, BUT how some have talked about Barkley, he is the pick for you. He is already 10 times better than Jim Brown according to posts on this board.

Wilson caught a break landing on a great defense and having a stud RB like Marshawn Lynch.
There was definitely buzz about Ben and Manning. Ben played at Miami of Ohio and got attention.

Even your buddy Ghoolie has said QB is most important position, and in one thread says Browns need Mayfield, another they need Jackson, and then says Barkley. Next week they will need, Penny, Charl, and either White or Benkerk. By the time of draft, he will have mentioned EVERY skill player one place or another, and then say "I told everyone, he was best player, I predicted it 100%, and I saw this guy before anyone, including his mama" I'm the only smart guy on here. Just a lot of profanity and I'll words in between.
Have a good evening buddy
Ghoolie has not chimed on who he likes. Whoever the Browns pick wont be the guy. But if Ghoolie likes Rosen, avoid him at a cost like Paxton Lynch and Tribisky.
With Crowell gone the Browns have a vacancy at RB. To me, Barkley is the perfect compliment to Duke. Barkley ran a 4.41 40, great hands, size. Ive been calling for him at 1 for weeks only because none of the QBs are outstanding IMO.
Thanks Gunz

He has though in other threads. He said in one that Lamar Jackson is the guy you have to get. The Browns would be stupid if they didn't take him. Then in another thread he said Mayfield is the only pick. When called out about the change, well he was obviously joking about Jackson, and saying that what the dumb Browns would so. Then he said Barkley is the only choice for the Browns, and if they don't take him at 1, it will haunt them forever.
The Browns should get Barkley, Mayfield, and Ridley. Have picks 1,2, and 5. Trade next year's 1st and Joe Thomas and Corey Coleman for 2. Remind you, those 2 are the worst players in the league to him, but to him the worst players are worth that?
But he certainly has said who they should draft.
Since the last one he said was Barkley, you still on that train for him?????? LOL

I said there was buzz for them. I think you need bi focals or something man lol
But there have been GREAT buzz for Leaf, Russell, RG3, etc- they didn't turn out to be HOF.
You see the point, whether there is buzz or not doesn't matter. Buzz doesn't make a football player. And certainly not a HOF. Or since you are in that draft, just as much buzz for Rivers as Eli and Ben, and he had a HOF RB, remind me as I'm drawing a blank, how many Super Bowls did they win?
In fact (now I am truly drawing a blank) who is the last great HOF caliber back to win a SB? Faulk maybe?

Leaf could very well make the HOF. He has consistently played at high level for a number of season. Marino did not win a ring, but is in the HOF.
You might want to go back and review what you wrote Chief.
You said, "Buzz, yeah maybe" There was no maybe about it. Both Ben and Manning were highly touted and regarded as top flight QBs, NY moved up to get Manning. Rivers was on a team that went 14 - 2 coached by Marty. Kieding missed the winning FG for the win. I was there. No, Rivers has not won a ring, but you cant count SD out of making the post season since Rivers has been there.
The only player right now ready for the NFL is Barkley. All the QBs are projects. Take a project at 1 or take a project at 4.

So....relating football to the game of Chess. The QB = the Queen. And the RB= the Knight. We want to draft the Knight....and take any ol' Queen that falls to us.

Who is the King?
Barkley is the Queen your most valuable weapon.
X and Y WRs are the Bishops because they run crossing routs
Slot WR is the Kinight for curl routes.
Rooks the TEs because they block at the LOS and run seam routes.
The Pawns are the OL.

In what world do you live in where you think Ryan Leaf could very well make the Hall of Fame. Now I like you Boo, but that was stoopid

Idk about better.... but will he be better enough to warrant the #1 overall pick vs our 2nd? Eh... probably not
yep. might as well get the best talent at the positions early that won't be as easily obtained in the mid to later rds

Dorsey doesn't agree with you. It's not looking good for the Saquon at #1 crowd currently. We've already been down this road with Po a dozen times. It's few and far between "generational" running backs win Super Bowls- and definitely not without a super talented team around them. The last one to do so was Emmett Smith, and that was over 20 years ago.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There's some corners thinking this QB class could be a replay of 1983. Like at least four, and maybe 5-6 going in the first round? Just have to find the right one.

Barkley wasn't even a better college RB than Ezekiel Elliot, but now he's a "generational" talent.

Zeke was/is a freak.
Barkley, eh, #1 eh, sounds good but probably no. I still like the R1 DE DB picks but I don't want to be tarred and feathered and run out of town.
Better get used to the BROWNS on the clock......"with the first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft select from XYZ University QB"........

I doubt ir, not a single grade 7.5 or 8.0 QB in the whole class, IMHO.....and others also.1983 is a tough bunch to compare any QB draft with some 35 years later.

For those of you saying no why? Is it because you are just against an RB at 1 or do you really think a QB solution has to be pick1??

I believe that an 0-16 team better be taking the best available athletes in R1 and R2 and save contender talk for 2019.
And in R1 with #1 and 4 neither spot deserves a QB or RB......(now comes the mob with the pitch forks and clubs
).

I don't think a running back can go #1 to a team like ours. We haven't gotten QB right in HOW many years, and now we can literally pick whichever one we want without ANY threat to miss out and we might take a running back? I don't think so. I look at Barkley as a terrific prospect who plays a luxury position. Is he the best RB coming out? Yeah, he probably is. Are there other RBs coming out who also look really good? You bet your azz. Just last season we had Kareem Hunt and Kamara drafted outside the first round and they were terrific. Let's get our QB at #1 and then the best defensive player available at #4 (Fitzpatrick or Chubb) and call it good for day 1.
I really believe the best way to get our team competitive quickly is to build up our defense, especially our pass rush and secondary. Wouldn't it be nice if our young QB didn't have to continuously come back from 14 points in the first half? We also need to draft or sign defensive players who can force TURNOVERS. That's one of the most frustrating aspects of our team last year, in that we gave the ball away and hardly ever took it BACK. So many fans are talking about Darnold and it makes me just shake my head because that guy couldn't hold onto the ball in COLLEGE, so why would that change in the pros? Baker Mayfield took care of the ball and he hit guys in stride. That's what I want. Will Baker be ready right away? Seriously doubtful, as he has no experience throwing from under center and it's going to take him some time to get comfortable. That's why we're bringing in a veteran to start, hopefully someone who can take care of the ball, move the offense, and put us in good positions to win some games.

The queen is the most valuable piece on the chess board.....and for you that's a running back. That's who you say is the most valuable person on the football field. BUT, to the rest of the football world, it's the QB that's the most valuable.

The life of an NFL RB is limited. Drafting a QB at 1 gets you 15 years potentially of quality play.
Fitzpatrick or Chubb at 4 with a RB in the early 2nd is a far better usage of the picks.

The Queen can go anywhere on the board like a RB. The King stays back behind the Pawns.
The King is Josh Allen and the Queen Barkley.

Well if we are using just Cleveland rules then they need to draft a QB at 1, 4, and 33. Keep Kizer just in case the first 3 die.

Which is why you go QB at 4 and Barkley 1.
The rookie QB should not play unless there is no other option. Yoo thought Kizer looked ready to go and he might be ruined forever.
