Throwing away money and picks
-
Not all experiments work out but I get their motivation. Free agency isn’t over yet and we don’t know who they targeted other than from twitter speculation. If they pick up Solder pending Joe Thomas news, I would think the movements could have softened him to coming here. We shall see.
Free agency hasn't started yet. Starts today at 4 est.

The big ticket FAs are usually all gone during the "legal tampering period" which seemed to start damn near a month ago.

agreed. I don't understand why the NFL does not just start the league year a day or two after the superbowl. I think the players should be allowed in the building to workout, see medical personel, etc. review with the coaches but no formal workouts, practices, etc. There is no reason to wait a month and half for an "official" year to start especially when it's tampering left and right already

Absolutely. Most of these big ticket player deals have been done in principle for weeks. For example the day the Vikings let all their QB's go to FA you knew they had Cousins locked up.

The positive impact of Taylor is going to be felt immediately.
Same for Landry. No waiting around to get used to the NFL like a draft pick.
We may win 6-8 games and then Taylor still leaves whereas a rookie taken there is yours for many years (hopefully).

I see your point.
Johnson, Nassib, Kirksey, Ogunjobi. Dorsey found Kelce, Hunt and Chris Conley in the 3rd round.
QBs cost more though and the Browns only forked over a 3rd and a pick next year.

It’s an adios from me, no point posting stuff and joining in if you’re going to be accused of being drunk every time you do.
Adios to the poster Nero a fellow European, one day the men of Spain will work out unemployment is around 50% because you sleep for five hours during the day ?
You have to realize that drunk stuff is just kidding, don't take it seriously. Ghoolie calls me every name in the book when he doesn't agree with me. Remains to be seen what the future holds for this team- and I hope you reconsider and stick around....

Yea, lighten up. If you have ever hung around Hoorta you know that he is a wino....and on the sauce most of the time!!
And who here has not been called a fag or a homo on at least a dozen occasions? Or worse: a closet Steeler fan!! Some not so much in the closet.

Kizer cost a 2nd and Taylor is an upgrade for a 3rd.
Taylor started 14 games in 2017 and was 8 - 6. All without a 1000 WR. The Bills had a bunch of JAGS. McCoy was a primary weapon and thats why I think that Barkley will be a Brown.
Now, Taylor has Gordon who can get to 1000 yards in his sleep, Landry 17 yards shy of 1000 yards last year, Duke , the Browns leading WR @ 693 yards. Plus the other WRs and TEs flying under the radar like Njoku, Devalve and Louis who were screwed because Kizer was so erratic. I have to believe that Taylor will play better with the talent around him. If he leaves next season that has to mean that the Rookie QB is good to go.

So how would you spell paint based on its pronunciation?
Paint (from painting) > peint
Pint (beer) > paint
The thing with English is that you have to learn BOTH how it is written and how it is pronounced. Same goes with French. But in Spanish and German, for example, if you know how it is writen you can pronounce it and vice versa (though in Spanish the H alone doesn't make a sound and both the V and B are pronounced like a B )

You also have to learn that English English and American English can be two different, but related languages. And then there is Scottish:

Taylor is a huge upgrade. He doesn't turn the ball over.
With the Hyde signing today, there's no way that Barkley is being drafted by the Browns. QB to sit while Taylor plays so we don't make the same mistakes as was made with Kizer last year since he had no business being on the field last season and then the BPA at #4...either Fitzpatrick or Chubb.

And then there is this....which most Americans find unintelligible:
-
It may have been a matter of expecting not to be able to get a bridge in free agency. The only FA QB in the mix who wanted to be here previously (McCarron) seems to have no interest in being a bridge QB. That leaves the Browns in the feeding frenzy after going 0-16 and having a reputation for putting QBs through the meat grinder.
The losing and rep painted them into a corner. It is costly but at this point it was a big pill they had to swallow to get a decent bridge QB.
Kizer might soon feel he died and went to cheese heaven.
-
haha cheers, where did that result come from last night?!
Typical villa, do all the hard work then throw it away against the lesser team.

The Curse of Randy Lerner......we know all about that as well.

Overreacted. Apologies all
I still think we’re making bad moves though #65 for a one year bridge QB being the worst of it.
The Browns have got Duke, Kirksey, Ogunjobi for instance at that spot or lower. It’s a valuable pick.

so what F.A Q.B did you envision us getting ? seriously dude Taylor money wise came cheaper than the rest also guaranteed that we would not have to sweet it out wondering if we could sign a vet also it's a 3rd round pick so freaking what if you have not noticed we are loaded with picks ,,,so c'mon admit it you were kinda drunk last night

Looking forward to The First day of March Madness Thursday. One of our wine group guys throws an annual all day party for 100 or so of his closest friends to watch the games (Dayton's Wright State plays around noon). Of course, that's secondary to the BYOB vino and pig roast.
I should mention one of the more humorous events. A few years back Dayton was playing Ohio State in the first round- and the loser had to jump in the (still very cold) pond out back. Most entertaining.

I’m not entirely sure what move bruised OP’s puss.
If you’re clamoring for the days acquiring future capital and never spending it, you’ve got a problem.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
When I came on here mudfly was a pretty big poster, and he just disappeared one day like a fart in the wind...
Then there's Tour, who has made one post in the last month.
COME BACK TOUR!
Exactly...
My guess is that Tour will be back as time goes on. Mud though has been gone a long time and I'm not sure he'll ever come back but hopefully he will.

I spoke with Mud a few weeks ago. He'll be back eventually.

I reckon we will be 6-10 or 8-8 this year and everyone will celebrate a comeback.
Errrrrm Well done.
This franchise is going nowhere long term and you wanted passive aggressive from me well I guess you got it.

This team wins one game over 2 seasons and people are complaining we made moves to trade mid-round draft picks to get to a respectable win/loss total. I honestly have no idea what in God's name people actually want anymore.
Yeah, it's unlikely Tyrod Taylor is going to be a SB winning QB. But you mofos act like we've even won big this past decade, and get mad when a FO makes move to actually win. Unbelievable.

I don't get this stupid thread..
Throwing away money and picks...
You'd rather them stand their with their coccks in their hands and do nothing? -
Sashi had a plan other than “throw red meat to the pitchfork-wielding villagers.” New FO doesn’t.
Well, you can't just keep kicking the can down the road forever either. It's why he's not here anymore.

Idiotic... a blind man can see that this year would have been more active in FA... not Dorsey active, but active.
And the difference in activity level would have been in keeping with the now abandoned, organizational philosophy of developing young players rather than collecting cast offs from the rest of the league.
Everything old is new again.

Typically the threats are never followed through. Some people just disappear and never return which would be more my style of doing it.
