    And the anti-Rosen bitching from you is not?  

    It is....to me.  Along with the anti-Allen bitching.   So.....to remedy things,  I suggest you stay off this board for the next  16 days.   They you won't have to read what you don't like, and we don't have to read from you what we don't like.

    We all win.

    (and remember....I have said that this is just like the 2011 group......Locker/Ponder/Gabbert bunch.......a bunch of backup QBs of that ilk)

       you promise to leave permanently, I'll think about it. Yes, both sides have been boring, but I never started the fire. Hoopla and his little angry complainiers did.

    You can leave until after the draft- and UM, you won't be missed.  Gipper suggested it, and I second the motion....

    So what you're saying is... You didn't start the fire.  Didn't light it - though you tried to fight it?  Is that about right ?

  • @the-gipper said:

    Why?   Which God do you believe in, if any?

    And why is that any worse really than talking about all these Quarterbacks?

    Doesn't matter, people tend to get all apocalyptic when that stuff is brought up. I'd rather talk about sports.....or food.😉

    Apocalyptic?     What happens when one goes apocalyptic?   I mean, does like your brain explode?

    Me?  Why me?   I have not been the one complaining about Allen haters or Rosen lovers or the like.   I was simply providing you one  option on how to relieve your angst and anxiety over this matter:  stay off the board until its over.

    Though....I guess there is another option:  masturbation.    Carry on.

    Well, part of the Mod job is to 1\2 keep the inmates in line. It gets frustrating at times...  You just keep pitching- and someone refuses to get the point. Compared to every other forum I've spent time on we're about 5X more BS tolerant here.  🙂

    Ahh....Master and Commander.    Loved that movie.   I thought Russell Crowe should have made more of them.  I know he hates to do serial type roles...do not believe he ever has reprised a role....but if there is one where he should...it is Captain Jack Aubrey.

    I think he could still do another one...if he hasn't gotten too out of shape.   I mean....what has he done lately?

    Actually that is the real dude from Bum Fights which he tattooed on his knuckles.

    Drafting Josh Allen Would End the Browns’ Analytics Era

    The numbers indicate that the quarterback shouldn’t be taken anywhere near the top pick, but that hasn’t quieted the Allen-to-Cleveland talk

    By Riley McAtee Apr 11, 2018, 12:00pm EDT
     
    Allen is the embodiment of an old-fashioned, “stats are for losers” approach to evaluating prospects. While draftniks like Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper Jr. rave about Allen’s prototypical size, arm strength, and raw potential, Allen’s production in college gives no indication that he will be a franchise quarterback in the pros. As far as statistical models go, there isn’t a single one that projects Allen as even a first-round pick, much less the top overall player in the draft. And it’s not just his much-maligned completion percentage—let’s take a look under the hood.

    Comparing 2018 QB Prospects

    Player QBASE DYAR Projection Rosen-Olbrecht PFF "NFL Throws" Bill Connelly Success Rate IQR Final-Year QBR Passing S&P+
    Baker Mayfield 1st 3rd 2nd 1st 1st 1st 1st
    Sam Darnold 4th 1st 1st 2nd 6th 4th 2nd
    Josh Rosen 3rd 2nd 4th 6th 5th 5th 5th
    Mason Rudolph 5th 6th 3rd 3rd 2nd 3rd 4th
    Lamar Jackson 2nd 5th 6th 5th 4th 2nd 3rd
    Luke Falk 6th 7th N/A 4th 3rd 6th 6th
    Josh Allen 7th 4th 5th 7th 7th 7th 7th

    And to be fair to Allen, while the advanced stats don’t look great, no one can say for sure whether he’ll pan out or be a bust. Stats may not be for losers, but no one would argue that numbers alone make an NFL quarterback. If Allen can piece together his immense talent, he could be the next Brett Favre. If not, he’ll be the next Jake Locker. But in order to draft him no. 1 overall, the Browns would have to ignore every statistical analysis imaginable. As far as analytics go, it’d be the end of the Process in Cleveland.

    I sure hope the guys in Berea are looking past the rocket launcher arm. The article had the stat I was interested in seeing. Josh broke the 60 mph barrier at the combine posting a record 62, as Palmer predicted he would...
