Kevin Hogan Traded

Those were indeed doosies.
As far as worst ever games that I have seen a QB play a couple that stand out are Warren Moon going into the Dawgpound in 1986: 5-23 68 yards o TD 4 Ints and Jeff Garcia, who posted a zero QB rating for one of his first starts for us against Dallas.
I remember Scott Mitchell actually winning a game for the Bengals without completing a pass, Corey Dillon rushed for 270 or something.
I didn't see the Buffalo rookie throw 5 Ints in one half last year, but the "Highlights" were outstanding.

Didn't the Browns beat the Bills under Mangini with either Anderson or Quinn passing for 50 yards or something ridiculous like that?

I remember a game we won in the snow, 8-0, Anderson steered us in to FG range for Phil Dawson to set up his big kicks.

Kevin Hogan's start against Houston was one of the worst I have ever seen, closely behind Brian Hoyer's playoff start for the Texans vs. Kansas City. Both are awful, toilet-bowl quality NFL quarterbacks.
Basically, the Redskins "surrendered" 17 draft slots in a round that doesn't matter for the chance to cut Hogan after using his arm during camp.
Starting Hogan instead of Kizer probably would have ended equally as terrible and equally as pointless as trotting Kizer out there every week--but in hindsight, at least one team valued Kizer enough to trade a decent defensive back for him. Hogan was worth a bag of rocks. Kizer at least has a potential opportunity to play in the NFL again... Hogan? Lol, maybe if he's lucky.
John Dorsey has passed on Kevin Hogan twice after drafting him. Even the guy whose job it is to evaluate QBs, who used an actual pick on him, has now said two times that he made a mistake. But I guess a guy named Flugel who's forum warrior caping for him is the guy everyone should listen to.
Or maybe not.
And Hi.
And Hi.
What up, Mike! Who is your QB in this draft class?
I saw a post game interview with JM this past Sat. and he talked very emotionally about getting a normal life after the craziness that he was when with Cleveland. He was happy just to be on the field again and more than willing to play in Canada for a couple of years if no one in the NFL wanted to take a chance with him again. He talked about his marriage and changing into someone who liked a real "homebody" life with her. It was the most "authentic" interview I have ever seen him give. I give him a better than 50% chance of doing well in the CFL and making it back to the NFL in 2-3 years. I didn't see the immature "kid" we saw come to Cleveland in that interview. But I did see a love of the game back in him. And a willingness to do it all differently that was real and not just some interviewing BS. The emotion was real and not "canned" for TV.
Fool me once, shame on Ag...
Fool me twice, shame on Ag...
So basically it's shame on Ag...

Here's a quick trivia answer for you. Were you aware that the high water mark for the 1900 hurricane was actually lower in the Moody Mansion than Hurricane Ike in 2008?
EDIT: The Moodys actually bought it for about 1/5 it's value after the 1900 chased other bidders away. It was built in 1895.

Actually Gip, most of the trees survived quite well, confirmed by my visit, mostly an unrelenting rain event. Tour can confirm this.
Surprisingly little visible storm damage short of several dumpsters I saw in driveways full of destroyed drywall. Only impressive thing I eventually noticed was debris lodged in the bridge over the Buffalo Bayou. For those who haven't been- the part I saw is around a 20 foot wide creek in a 20+ foot deep and 100 foot wide ravine. The water came up over the bridge.

Both homes I grew up in on the poor (low) side of Beaumont went under with Harvey's flooding there. I saw some people on TV rescued by helicopter about 4 blocks from the first home I lived in there.

And yet, again, the Browns play 3 road games in Hurricane Country in the fall.....Tampa, New Orleans, Houston.
How much does one want to bet that at least one of these game will be threatened by a Hurricane? As noted elsewhere, I may like to make the trip to NOLA...if the timing and weather are right.

Wow, I did spend time in Galveston, Houston, Baytown, Texas City area in 1978 for a job interview, saw some of that.....and turned down the job.
Haven't been back to Texas since the 1980s,. (And I dislike the heat.)

Odds are in your favor. I lived through Hurricane Audrey whose edge touched the area of Beaumont we lived in in 1957. Listening to large pine trees near us hit the ground really rattles your cage. Only Rita and Harvey have hit there since to the best of my knowledge.

I'm in law school so haven't had the time to do a lot of work on them, but started a couple of days ago. I came into this weekend with Mayfield as my top guy, based purely on subjective impressions and from watching live games and limited tape.
Now, I like 3 of the 4 a good amount, and the 4th I'm kinda fading away from (Rosen). I haven't looked at Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph yet.
Right now I think It's between Darnold and Allen for me. These are some quick summaries of what I've wrote on each:
Darnold: Pretty solid all around. I'm still working on him (only watched one game vs UCLA), but my first impression is excellent. Arm good enough. Not sure about his mechanics. I wrote down to look closer into them.
-Baker: His offensive scheme scares me. Although, he did complete an incredibly high amount of passes, he wasn't challenged most of the time. Big 12 concepts are a joke, but he did execute at such a high level you can't ignore it. His attitude is a positive to me - I think his guys will buy-in and he'll be a good leader (sans crotch grab, maybe a little too firey for even my liking).
-Rosen: I just don't see it. I like him, but I'm not there yet. May need to watch more. I'm annoyed that people want you to see Goff when you watch Rosen, but I don't. I liked Wentz over Goff, and I like Goff miles better than Rosen. His line was rough at times, but he also shrinks in high-leverage spots, namely third downs, and doesn't read the field as well as you'd think with someone touted as being as well-rounded of a prospect as he is. He's also basically immobile. He offers nothing as far as mobility is concerned. That's not a deal-breaker, but when you aren't seeing the field well AND can't scramble to buy yourself time, it's an issue.
-Allen: Accuracy concerns seem to be overblown. I don't see the guy the stats depict; there are countless drops in high leverage situations, and dropped TDs. Play-recognition and ability to read defenses is my issue with him, especially seeing his misread on that basic play that Orlovsky highlighted on Twitter yesterday). Other than that, he is an incredible, phenom prospect with everything you want, and everything you cannot teach. Reminds me a lot of a Kap/Matt Stafford hybrid. Yes I realize this may not be a great thing.

Speaking of Galveston attractions... put this relatively new one at the top of your list: https://www.thebryanmuseum.org/
Huge collection of western art and memorabilia with an appropriate focus on Texas.
I thought you were in a suburb. How close to the Gulf are you?
Couple hundred miles away...
But, yes, for a long time I lived in LaPorte which is on Galveston Bay... or I should say was on. Hurricane Ike put my house in the Bay to the tune of ~3'. As hurricane's go Ike was pretty tame, but it hit at the perfect spot to maximize storm surge in the confines of Galveston Bay.

lol... well pretty much flip your list... In other words our record is safe.
- Major Rosen backer here... my 2018 theme is: When you see a floor this high, don't worry about ceilings. I have him rated slightly higher than Goff, who I had fairly higher than Wentz primarily due to resume depth and competition level.
- After some gap Mayfield is my #2. Agree on the scheme concerns, but I see tools and drive. I do think the drive is a double edged thing. I am not sure he will "sit and learn" well. I also see continuity with Tyrod Taylor, but not sure that's a good thing.
- Darnold is my reluctant #3. I keep trying to tell myself that he succeeds despite all his mechanics issues... but I can't get comfortable with him.
- Allen? Of the top four, he clearly has the farthest to go to reach "NFL level" play. And while that in itself is not a disqualifier, I simply don't see the path to success for him. He makes inaccurate throws for reasons I cannot discern and what you cannot identify you cannot fix. On top of that he makes bad, or no, decisions for one reason... he does not see the field well.
- Jackson? I can see his upside, but not his survival.
Good luck in school... is Sports agent in your future?

Good stuff. Us having opposite lists is actually the least surprising thing ever, maybe.
Not exactly sure what I'm doing in law school. Hated engineering, so doing something totally opposite. Have met some pretty cool people who might be able to help if I decide to go the agent route. We'll see. Planning to do a football scouting course this summer and see how that goes. Both are really tough fields to get into. Met a former agent who does Labor and Employment law for athletes (workers comp and some other things), which seems pretty cool, and a more realistic option.

... and nothing says you can't reverse engineer the former agent's career.
Speaking of "engineer".... I was one as well. Once had an HR buddy at Corporate HQ share my results of a preference test our employer administered. My ideal field? Law... Clearly we both loved to argue.
You'll figure out a path...
