Setting up QB battles: Who's leading, where rookies stand

I'm quite surprised that they would say that it's unlikely that Mayfield starts this season.

Let's say the Browns are 2-8 going into the bye week, which I feel is very realistic, would it surprise ANYONE if the Browns start looking to the future and see what they have in 23 year old Baker Mayfield with a staggering 43 college starts?

Of course not. But how bad would that suck? I mean if problem was quarterback.

It's a rough schedule, for sure.

This is America....use Fahrenheit.!!!

Beyond that, Fahrenheit is a better system of use.....even for...or particularly for those who are fans of the metric system. Metric systems like their scales of measurements based on a decimal system....using scales of like 0-100. Humans basically live in that scale....under the Fahreheit system. The Celsius, or Centrigrade system only has the human race living in like one third of it: like 20 Below zero to about 37 above. We live more on a 0-100 F scale.

MABS. America's always been stupid. (when it comes to metric) Gipper, just give it up- American false sense of superiority. The rest of the world laughs at us not converting to metric. I have to have metric tools to work on my bike. And if you forgot- the mile race isn't even a recognized distance in the Olympics anymore- it's the 1500. Which, using a handy dandy calculator is 93% of a mile.

So here's your primer. 32F = 0C, 68F= 20C, 212F= 100C. LOL, us medical people know damn well 98.6F= 37C. 1 liter is a tad over 1 Us quart. kilogram = 2.2 pounds. kilometer= .62 miles, ergo 100 kilometers per hour = 62 mph.

Only in the USA with foot dragging. If your doing work on damn near any car of late, and you don't have metric tools, you're SOL pal.

Sh!t, 1\2 the kids working in stores are damn near on the moron level when it comes to decimal equivalents- go ask for 1\3 of a pound of ham at the meat counter, at watch the blank stares. Tooooo tough for Americans to realize 500 grams of ham are 1.1 pounds. 4 liters of gas are about a gallon, 150kph will get you a speeding ticket about anywhere.

But don't worry Gip, when the US finally goes metric, you'll probably be dead.

I've worked as a lifeguard and I had to measure temperature: I recall 21C being super cold.

So I guess people ice skate on the lake?

Ice fish, yes, ice skate, no. LOL, safety issues, and you get snow on top of the ice. Doesn't freeze all nice and smooth like a skating rink. Though, at times the ice is plenty thick enough you can drive a car or an ATV out on to it. Just DON'T break through. You do, 15 minutes or less to get out, or you're going to die. LOL, it's why us guys wanted Hue to jump in right before it froze over- you deserved a life changing experience for that 0-16. Me and Tex Ag have had adventures out in the Rockies with glacial runoff that was damn near freezing- and your body about instantly goes numb when water is that cold.

21 C is like 70 degrees in real temperature. So, while that would be a bit chilly to jump in.....Lake Erie can get down to just above freezing yet not freeze. Say 35 degrees. That is what it should have been when Hue jumped in...the gutless wonder.

Polar Bear clubs jump in Lake Erie all the time in January and survive. The point is to jump in and get out....not to linger so as to get hypothermia.

All you have done is to convince me that I am right. As far as a system of weather temperature, Fahrenheit is better. It uses pretty much a full zero to 100 scale. It is not truncated like Celsius (and beyond that...Fahrenheit isn't schizo....C....does not know if it is supposed to be known as Celsius or Centigrade). Fahrenheit also uses more increments of temperature. I mean, I can tell you right now that there is a difference when I set my thermostat at 68 versus if I set it at 72. With C...there is hardly a difference....but there damned well is a difference.

metric system? no. Not for America, we are real - there is great reason to avoid going metric, dammit.

Fahrenheit.....where the temperature readings mean something. Where 40 is cool, 70 is warm and 90 is hot. Not C....where the difference between cool, warm and hot are only a degree or two off.

I mean....seriously....there is NOTHING about "30 degrees" that say "Hot". 90 is fuyucking hot. 100 means something to humans. 100 in C only means something to freeking Lobsters.

Would it make you happy if centigrade thermostats were fractional? Sheeze, fixed in your ways. Below 10C, it's getting chilly, over 30C getting hot. Metric weights are much more precise than the archaic 16 ounces to a pound. 1,000 grams to a kilogram. 28 grams to an ounce. If you ever bother to look at your pill bottles, they're already in milligrams 1\1,000th of a gram, so you've been using metric for years. Ditto on booze. Everyone knows what a 750ml bottle looks like, so big hardship selling gas by the liter. Gas stations would love it- 75 cents a liter, looks way cheaper.

Really, having everything based on multiples of 10 is a lot easier, you just need to put in the minimal effort to get used to it.

And....again.....I say that Fahrenheit IS more of a method of basing weather temperature on, more or less, multiples of 10.....or at least a multiple of 100. I know if it is -0 degrees that it is fuycking cold as hell.....I know that if it is 100 degrees that it is hot as hell.

Some metric measures may be more precise...or not. That does not necessarily mean that they are really any easier.

And let me ask you this sort of trivia: Where and what caused the institution of the metric system?

Nero

You're talking about ambient temperature, but also in physics Metric system has way more sense. For example, 1 cal is what it takes to raise 1ºC of temperature 1 gram of water.

There are many examples that show that Imperial system doesn't correlate its measurements and units, thus making it harder to grasp. You understand it only because you're used to it, not because it is easier than Metric.

And by the way, I remember reading somewhere that the cost of changing everything to Metric is only raising as the time goes. Problem is, in a world that's getting more and more global and there are other markets which don't use Imperial getting a major importance, at some point you'll have to take that step.

On the other hand, Metric may only seem easier for you because you are used to it.

And consider this: How far up your arse in metric measurements, would I have to shove my foot to make a foot?

See how much more eloquent and poetic Imperial measurements are for some purposes?

I mean....that sentence would just not have quite the same impact if I said I wanted to put my foot 30.48 centimeters up your arse, would it?

Well, I'd rather stick up your arse a Spanish stick, which equals to 84 cm or 2ft 9" in your system

See? We also got outdated units just like you, but try to use common systems with the rest of the World and in our daily basis. You egocentric Americans lol.
