  • Sorry, h... way I took what was said to be that we will fail not want.

    Here's a novel idea,  how about if you just root for OUR QB to succeed. Accept what you can't change, he's our guy. Change what you can, either support him or find a new team. 

    Did the Browns draft Jesus Christ?

    You would thank so they way a few dopehead burnouts and trailer trash losers are slobbering all over his johnson and white knighting on his behalf. 

    But nah, I will continue keeping my priorities in check and criticizing the Brown's when they do stupid Sheet and unlike the dopehead and the trailer trash, I will always place character and integrity above a sports team or sport.

    Oddly...that it seems that you place value on traits you yourself seem not to possess. 

  • meanwhile, back at the Browns ranch - the Browns signed another qb.

    Well so far I have learned you have added nothing of value or intelligence to the board thus far other than vituperative spewing in nearly every post I've read. How about a little football knowledge for a change? It is a football board after all.

  • Browns VP of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith said No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield "blew the team away" with his off-field intangibles.

    "Here's the honest to God's truth," Highsmith said. "From the start of his college football season to the end of the season, I had [Sam] Darnold No. 1 and Baker No. 2. On our way through everything, you couldn't tell me Darnold wasn't the best. Then comes the part where you meet them off the field. You watch their workouts. You watch everything. And Baker blew me away. Highly, highly intelligent. Highly competitive. When he walked into a room, you knew he was there." Highsmith said Josh Allen was last among the first-round quarterbacks on the Browns' board.

  • Man... I keep having this vision of Baker and Saquon - jogging up to the line of scrimmage in slow motion, a light fog and smell of rain in the distance... the camera pans toward the sideline... Josh Gordon nods and turns to look upfield... and then Njoku creeps a smile through the side of his mouth as the mist descends... what could have been?

    Well....his SN is VikingDawg.   I think that may something about where his sentiment's actually lie.

    I'll take a wild guess that "VikingDawg" means he's a kid whose high school nickname is the Vikings... North Canton Hoover Vikings, for example.

    The more I read about the draft (Peter King this morning in MMQB), the more I don't think that combination would have happened. Even if the browns took barkley at 1, it has been said that almost a dozen teams had mayfield sitting on the top of their board. I think it's possible he could have gone 2 or 3 if the browns did not grab him at 1. Hindsight is 20/20 but it's possible that teams and evaluators were not on the same "ranking" scale as media personnel.

    There was also speculation that if Baker lasted till the 3 spot... Elway was gonna jump in and attempt to get him...

    Please- just get over it already. In your Saquon wet dream at #1, Mayfield goes #3 to the Jets. The talking head "experts" are blasting the Browns for a lousy choice, but the more I read the more I'm convinced it was Baker at #1, or not at all. Caught one of those Sports Science things, and besides crazy accuracy, Mayfield's release time is on the level of Aaron Rodgers. 

    Better get your Giants jersey, because those fans are already hallucinating Super Bowl with Saquon. 

  • the plain truth is, the Browns had zero luxury of picking Barkley at one OR four, spectaclular a rb he is.

    After the pick of Mayfield, and reading what Dorsey and Jackson say the reasons were... we got the best qb for us.

    If our starter qb gets hurt sometime during the first half of the season - Mayfield is so consistent, accurate and smart he

    could step right in. We're in great shape. and with this draft - Chubb came along after we took our new shutdown super-cornerback.

    I wonder if we would have picked Barkley with the four pick, even if he had been there. I love the way it turned out.

    And I liked Chubb II @ #35 and am only sorry we didn't make a deal with NE for the move up for Sony who is just a little better IMO. But even so add him to this guy and we now have a hellofa RB room. Just voted by peers as #97 NFL player overall for 2018.

    There's obviously no way to prove this, but there's NO WAY Baker gets back to us at #4.  If a "half dozen" teams have their top rated QB still on the board after the first pick, you can bet your bottom dollar the phones would've been blowing up because the Browns drafted at 4, and they obviously were going to draft a QB.  Btw, the Giants are on record saying Baker was THEIR top rated QB, so it's very possible they would've snatched him at 2.

    From my limited exposure to you, yes, I would say I know a minimal few things about you:

    You are petty,  pretentious and sanctimonious and ignorant.   (probably because you had your own troubled background)

    No....he already admitted that Viking refers to the Minnesota Vikings.   I think he had some friend that died who was a Viking fan.  While it is supposed to be some kind of tribute to him (which is fine).....it still makes one question his loyalties.
