Ahh....Master and Commander. Ā Ā Loved that movie. Ā I thought Russell Crowe should have made more of them. Ā 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. Ā I mean....what has he done lately?

Drafting Josh Allen Would End the Brownsā Analytics Era
The numbers indicate that the quarterback shouldnāt be taken anywhere near the top pick, but that hasnāt quieted the Allen-to-Cleveland talk
By Riley McAtee Apr 11, 2018, 12:00pm EDTĀAllen is the embodiment of an old-fashioned, āstats are for losersā approach to evaluating prospects. While draftniks like Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper Jr. rave about Allenās prototypical size, arm strength, and raw potential, Allenās production in college gives no indication that he will be a franchise quarterback in the pros. As far as statistical models go, there isnāt a single one that projects Allen as even a first-round pick, much less the top overall player in the draft. And itās not just his much-maligned completion percentageāletās take a look under the hood.Comparing 2018 QB Prospects

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, heāll 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, itād be the end of the Process in Cleveland.

ĀI 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...Ā Ā

Just a random thought, but since it is lying season, what are the chances that the Browns don't have Allen and Darnold at #1 on their board? What if they really love Mayfield (as reported earlier in the process of the draft), and know they can get him with at least the third pick? What are the chances they are baiting the Giants, Jets, and Bills into trading for that #1 pick? What if they tell the Jets they are willing to part with #1 for Leonard Williams? A 2nd rounder from the Giants? Make both trades?Ā
It just seems odd, that as tight lipped as they have been about the FA moves, nobody had them pegged for any of the deals they made, that all of a sudden there is a lot of steam for Darnold and Allen. That has been one thing about this front office is there have been very few leaks. Maybe I am reading into this too much. Maybe I'm just that worried of Allen being a gigantic bust.Ā

I was listening to Palmer today and he was talking about how Kyle Allen (A&M then Houston) had been underutilized in college first at A&M then when the Houston coach switched to Texas and the new one relied more on a running game. He has been coaching him along with Darnold & Rosen and felt he would be a good pick up by some team in a later round as a very good developmental QB. He's followed him since Jr. high and thinks he was just never given a real legitimate shot in college, but has an arm as good as the other two.

Don't know if posted yet but BR thinks the Browns would be making a very big mistake with Allen.

interesting read.Ā really gets the ol' noggin joggin' about drafting a QB in the first and trying to pick up Mason Rudolph in a later round, as he is a decent "stats" QB.Ā I am really hoping for Mayfield at #1 but would be OK with Darnold or Rosen, any other than those 3 at #1 and I will have a pout but still continue to follow this team for reasons unknown.Ā To me, Allen would be a waste of a #1 pick because the Browns aren't known for their ability to coach QBs.Ā This would be another Deshone Kizer, someone who has talent but needs coaching and the Browns are not the team for that.Ā Allen seems like another Brandon Weeden type, where he'll occasionally have a great deep throw but it won't be enough to overcome the panicky decision-making and inaccuracy.Ā

This could be exactly what the Browns are doing; keeping everyone guessing to drive up the value of their picks.Ā I seriously hope they don't trade out of #1 though, the only way to 100% guarantee they get the QB they want is to draft at #1.Ā Gambling and hoping the team you trade with doesn't take your favorite QB is too much of a risk for a team that's been withoutĀ franchise QB since 1999.Ā Ā
