  • Isn't it funny. I label the 2018 draft saying EMPHATICALLY................. Barkley is THE #1 pick, just as was Trubisky. THe browns fukcked up last year and made the #51 pick the #1 pick, while the Bears got the true #1.

    his year is no different. The QBs are all okay. Whichever one we would get, is a stab in the dark. 
     

    Again, I would not take a QB. Sign McCarron or similar, let him compete with Black Tarkenton.  YOu take Barkley #1. You trade next year's #1 with some combination of Zumba balls, Coleman and Thomas and wind up with another (3d_ first round pick this year.   Barkely, then WR, then WR,  at the second round, find a big, blocking, punching, badass FB.  Then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THen you can say the Browns had a great draft. But just standing pat at #1  and #4? BORING.

    Other than Dorsey found the guy who was #1 last year in rushing IN THE THIRD ROUND , you're right- we're trading the #1 to the Giants so they can take Barkley, since he's so fabulous. He's a bigger edition of Eric Metcalf the way he dances around. LOL, we got a Zumba instructor on defense, why not pair him up with another one on offense?  Kevin Mack he ain't. So Barkley is fast? There were around 5-6 guys who ran faster at the Combine. 

    You must really want other GMs to laugh their azz off at the Browns for taking a fullback in the second round- you missed the memo those guys don't go any higher that fourth round anymore. Go take a look at the previous posts and tell me how Saquon is going to win multiple Super Bowls with the Browns, when all of those HOF running backs failed in the attempt. 

    For the record Tom- there's at least three, and maybe four or five quarterbacks in this draft who are BETTER than Trubisky. So sure let's take freaking running back instead.

    The Giants won the super bowl going 9 - 7 and 10 - 6. Manning has proven that he can win big games on the road.

    2 years of a clutch QB or a rookie who is unproven? Im going with the guy who has the resume. You cant teach coming through in the clutch.

    My gosh, you just aren't very football smart. IF the Giants draft a QB, they DON'T START HIM DAY 1, THEY GO WITH MANNING UNTIL HE RETIRES. 

    You know, in 1-2 years see as though he is OLD. 

    End of lesson today. You obviously are trolling, uneducated, or just have 1 set opinion, and won't change for anything. It is sad any way you look at it.

    They have a viable backup / potential starter in Davis Webb.  They are probably not going qb at #2

    And Bo Jackson's- the last two running backs taken #1 overall.   Have to admit Bo might have been HOF if he hadn't gotten hurt- but he did. And to those who think a #1 RB can't under perform- (and Saquon is bust-proof) from the link I posted elsewhere- I give you George Rodgers, Billy Sims, and Ricky Bell #1s all, and collectively not much to write home about.

    They may, but they don't know that. Because when they benched Eli, they should have played him. 

  • Barkley is not a tough runner, just a fast guy who has long runs that he will not get in the just as fast defensive NFL. I would reconsider if his ypc average were about 2 ypc higher, but they aren't so don't take him under any circumstance. Would he be better than the Blind Crow? Sure, but so will a number of RBs in this years deep draft.

    So:

    That's how I see it.  You look at his stats,  he's done very little on the ground in over half his games. He had lots of receiving yards,  so he's definitely a weapon. Can he be as effective catching it in the NFL with all the speed on defense? Nobody knows. 

     You have penny, Michel,  Jones,  k Johnson,  Guice, chubb, ballage etc. Most are going to be there in mid rounds.  I still think Penny is the most underrated back in the draft. No respect whatsoever

    All you need is to find the generational QB in this draft like the Mannings or Troy Aikman.

  • Whether you are in or out on Barkley (doesn't matter to me), I must admit to both sides I have been so wrong on him.

    I was told that he would run sub 4.3 in 40. I read where he ran a 4.4 (still very fast), but I failed to realize that the clock was broken when he ran at the combine

    I was told he was strongest RB to ever grace the scene, he did 29 reps ( that is GREAT, especially for a RB), but just a couple years ago a back did 32. I just received an update, Saquon did his bench one handed.

    I heard a little birdie say he had a good game against Ohio State. He had 21 carries for 44 yards, including a 36 yard TD. I assumed that wasn't a very good average, but then I went back and looked at the tape, and it was rather impressive considering Ohio State played with 15 on the field, and Penn State only had 1 lineman.

    It rang in my head like a drum how great of a receiving back he was. He had 102 catches for 1195 yards (11.7 average) and 8 TDs for his career. That shows his ability over someone like Michel who over the same amount of time had 64 catches for 621 yards (9.7 average) and 6 TDs for his career. Then I remembered that Barkley was the feature back, and Michel split time with another high prospect in Nick Chubb, who himself in 3 years (just like Barkley and Michel) had 31 catches for 361 yards (11.6 average) and 4 TDs. So adding up Penn State backfield vs Georgia backfield was 102 catches, 1195 yards and 8 TDs vs 95 catches, 982 yards, and 10 touchdowns. I thought about it though, and figured I would look at the careers in college of the top 3 backs in the league (as they are multi dimensional). Todd Gurley: 65 catches, 615 yards (9.5 average) and 6 TDs, Zeke: 58 catches, 449 yards (7.7 average) and 1 TD, Leveon Bell: 78 catches, 531 yards (6.8 average) and 1 TD. So I assumed just like those top NFL backs that these college guys have the ability to catch, even though they didn't do it as much in college. But then I had to remember that Barkley had McSorley throwing to him, and that hurt him, while these other guys had future HOF as their QBs, because Gurley had Aaron Murray, Zeke had JT Barrett, and Bell had Cousins and Cook.

    So you guys, again I was wrong. SUPERMAN BARKLEY is worth 2 1st rounders, he has the best characteristics from Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, and Ladanian Tomlinson rolled all into one. And if the Quarterback the Browns get at #4 doesn't pan out, Todd Haley will just tailor his offense entirely around Barkley. A lot of Wild Dawg Pound. I'll bet Barkley has a better arm than Josh Allen or John Elway, and the brain of Peyton Manning. I am now locking it up, Barkley at #1. He will rush for 2400 yards and 20 TD's and catch 120 balls and 10 TDs. And he will also return 8 kickoffs for TD.

    Reposting your same dumb, trying to hard to be funny rant doesn't change the quality amigo.

    I don't disagree with you but Barkley is a high level prospect. He's the on the exact same tier of prospect as Zeke, Fournette, etc. It's not insane to consider the Browns drafting the dude, so just relax.

    Gunz, you're being a baby, just stop it. 

    You were told that he would run a sub 4.4 40 yard dash, which he's perfectly capable of and will try and prove it when he reruns it at his Pro Day. 

    You were told that he was going to bench press 225 lbs 30 times, which he is capable of and will try and prove that when he does it again at his Pro Day. 

    You were told that he would have close to a 40 inch vertical which he eclipsed but will try and improve upon that number at his Pro Day as well. 

    Barkley is as advertised. He ran 4.38 and 4.33 time in the 40 before and lest you forget he weighs in at 233 lbs! He's within the top 10 ALL TIME in weight adjusted time in the 40. 

    He's been called the best back in the past TWO DECADES coming out of college and some would even say the best they have EVER seen. 

    He's humble and always hungry. You are being a bitch. Stop. 

  • Couldn't care less how high he jumps,  how much he benches,  or how fast he does a 40.

    I'd much prefer if he averaged over 10 ypc most of the season like Bryce love did. 

    Or in the 7's for the season like several others did

    If you look at any of the tape, it speaks for itself. Nothing else will convince you if you are unwilling to look at the tape. 

    Barkley had DEFENDERS in his face as soon as he got the ball a lot. He made positive plays out of negative plays. Is he perfect? No player is, but the important thing is that he's a guy that is going to work, day in and day out to "try" and be the very best that has ever played the game. That's good enough for me. Barkley has just scratched the surface of what he could really do once he hits the NFL. 

  • If Dorsey’s past history is any indication of who he’s going to take in the first round, it doesn’t look good for the Barkley boys.

    Dorsey has never taken a RB in the 1st round while working as a GM or any FO position in his career.

    I've seen several games.  He can make some big plays,  and he's a physical specimen.  

    If he's there at 4,  no problem.  At #1,  no way.  Get the qb first. This class is stacked with running backs

That shows his ability over someone like Michel who over the same amount of time had 64 catches for 621 yards (9.7 average) and 6 TDs for his career. Then I remembered that Barkley was the feature back, and Michel split time with another high prospect in Nick Chubb, who himself in 3 years (just like Barkley and Michel) had 31 catches for 361 yards (11.6 average) and 4 TDs. So adding up Penn State backfield vs Georgia backfield was 102 catches, 1195 yards and 8 TDs vs 95 catches, 982 yards, and 10 touchdowns. I thought about it though, and figured I would look at the careers in college of the top 3 backs in the league (as they are multi dimensional). Todd Gurley: 65 catches, 615 yards (9.5 average) and 6 TDs, Zeke: 58 catches, 449 yards (7.7 average) and 1 TD, Leveon Bell: 78 catches, 531 yards (6.8 average) and 1 TD. So I assumed just like those top NFL backs that these college guys have the ability to catch, even though they didn't do it as much in college. But then I had to remember that Barkley had McSorley throwing to him, and that hurt him, while these other guys had future HOF as their QBs, because Gurley had Aaron Murray, Zeke had JT Barrett, and Bell had Cousins and Cook.

    So you guys, again I was wrong. SUPERMAN BARKLEY is worth 2 1st rounders, he has the best characteristics from Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, and Ladanian Tomlinson rolled all into one. And if the Quarterback the Browns get at #4 doesn't pan out, Todd Haley will just tailor his offense entirely around Barkley. A lot of Wild Dawg Pound. I'll bet Barkley has a better arm than Josh Allen or John Elway, and the brain of Peyton Manning. I am now locking it up, Barkley at #1. He will rush for 2400 yards and 20 TD's and catch 120 balls and 10 TDs. And he will also return 8 kickoffs for TD.

    Reposting your same dumb, trying to hard to be funny rant doesn't change the quality amigo.

    I don't disagree with you but Barkley is a high level prospect. He's the on the exact same tier of prospect as Zeke, Fournette, etc. It's not insane to consider the Browns drafting the dude, so just relax.

    Well actually amigo, I have not ONCE said they SHOULDN'T draft him or isn't a great prospect. But A for effort

    Whether you are in or out on Barkley (doesn't matter to me), I must admit to both sides I have been so wrong on him.

    I was told that he would run sub 4.3 in 40. I read where he ran a 4.4 (still very fast), but I failed to realize that the clock was broken when he ran at the combine

    I was told he was strongest RB to ever grace the scene, he did 29 reps ( that is GREAT, especially for a RB), but just a couple years ago a back did 32. I just received an update, Saquon did his bench one handed.

    I heard a little birdie say he had a good game against Ohio State. He had 21 carries for 44 yards, including a 36 yard TD. I assumed that wasn't a very good average, but then I went back and looked at the tape, and it was rather impressive considering Ohio State played with 15 on the field, and Penn State only had 1 lineman.

    Gunz, you're being a baby, just stop it. 

    You were told that he would run a sub 4.4 40 yard dash, which he's perfectly capable of and will try and prove it when he reruns it at his Pro Day. 

    You were told that he was going to bench press 225 lbs 30 times, which he is capable of and will try and prove that when he does it again at his Pro Day. 

    You were told that he would have close to a 40 inch vertical which he eclipsed but will try and improve upon that number at his Pro Day as well. 

    Barkley is as advertised. He ran 4.38 and 4.33 time in the 40 before and lest you forget he weighs in at 233 lbs! He's within the top 10 ALL TIME in weight adjusted time in the 40. 

    He's been called the best back in the past TWO DECADES coming out of college and some would even say the best they have EVER seen. 

    He's humble and always hungry. You are being a bitch. Stop.

    No hombre, dont lie, it's unbecoming. Admit you overestimated him.

    You called him the BEST you have ever seen.

    And YOU, Not ANYONE ELSE said he had been hand clock low 4.3 hand timed and he would probably be under 4.3.

    Care to whine some more.

    Well I did it because it was merged from a thread, and by the time it was done it was on another page. And then put it in what the 18th different thread about Superman.

    Here are just a FEW of the things you said. Still want to deny that they were said?

    Anybody want to try these projections?

    40 Yard Dash - 4.26

    Bench Press - 33

    Vertical Jump - 39.5

    Broad Jump - 11 feet 11 inches

    3 Cone Drill - 6.33

    20 yard Shuttle Run - 3.82

    60 yard Shuttle Run - 10.77

     

    If you look at a man the way that he IS, he can only become worse. But look at him as if he were what he COULD be, then he becomes what he SHOULD be. -Geothe


    You don't think he could break into the late 4.2's? Imagine how brief an amount of time it is from 4.29 to 4.33... It's certainly possible.

    Because I believe that Hogan is a good QB and could be a franchise Qb if given the chance has nothing to do with Barkley's "Super Human" abilities.

    No, seriously man, that's what he ran. He ran a 4.38 two years ago. Then last year he ran a 4.33! Shaved off .05 of a second off. If he's able to do that one more time, which I think he could do- that could put him in, dare I say it? The late 4.2 speed range... that would be really scary huh? That's why I included the link for you guys- so you know it's not hyperbole.

    You can make up any kind of scenario that you want but the fact that Barkley is a superior prospect to Gurley or Zeke coming out is self-evident.

    Yes, Barkley is largely immune to the probability of busting.... barring injury.

    SB is the best runner I've ever seen, better than ANY player I've seen. And I really don't care if he's only done it in college so far- because that is all that has been put up against him. I'm confident that next year the NFL will get to meet Barkley in an orange and brown uniform to the tune of 1500+ yards from scrimmage
