i really hope we don't pick this kid (all for personal reasons) but i think a lot hinges on manziel's pro day thursday. who knows if he'll be 'johnny scramble' or not. he's had longer than any other QB to prepare with a great QB coach and it's not like they're sending LBs and DEs in the guys face as pressure (that's why carr looked so good in his pro day as well).

but yeah. i think pettine said nothing spectacular or new for anybody to declare anything about.

off point..........

anyone see the new mcdonald's commercial where they are letting LEBRON in this secret club and they show a bunch of so-called celebs and JF is already in the club?? wtf? makes me want to vomit every time i see that shit.

Yea his group is representing manziel though. They have to help hype him.

Pro days don't mean much IMO. All these guys should be able to make all the throws without the pads, line, and pressure.

Hell, Weeden "impressed" at his pro day too.

@mld-woody said:

So... he basically said nothing useful.

Yes, but I think over the last few months Both Farmer and Pettine have shown they are very good at playing the cards close to the vest. I think this is a smart move and it shows some of the intelligence of each person, especially Farmer. I have a feeling that guy is brilliant.

We won't find out anything useful until after the draft.

@gftchris said:

Looks that way, but if that falls through for whatever reason it's not impossible we'd pick him up.

Jets & Eagles could have just traded...

No, for the same reason the Browns weren't interested in trading for Schaub. In a flat out trade,each team would have had to pickup the humongous contract. Once they're cut they could sign them for whatever the market would bear- and that was millions less.

A few things I did take out of those Pettine comments- it's BPA @ #4- no mention of a trade up or trade down- and hmmm no comment about Watkins.

And to the crazies that are thinking Robinson @ #4, nope, if we move Schwartz inside to guard- we'll draft a RT in the second round where the stud RTs usually get drafted, or use one of the third round picks on OL.

He's a traditional QB guy it looks like.

#Browns HC Mike Pettine on Blake Bortles: "If you said draw me an #NFL quarterback, that's probably who you'd draw."

Not to me. It seems more like he just knows what the typical measurement of an NFL QB looks like. Only thing positive he could say about Bortles is that he "looks" like a traditional QB. He said ZERO about what he thinks about Bortles ability.

@gftchris said:

He was also blowing smoke about the other three QBs, in case you missed it.

Other than possibly the ILB comment (where I agree with 23... it seems to me to be a large, if not "glaring", need) I don't think think any of Pettine's comments individually are "smoke"...

But collectively they're like Bejing on a typical summer day...

I disagree, but maybe he likes what he saw from Robertson last year...

I only heard fans talk about possibly moving Schwartz to G until now... interesting...

As far as QB, this team is certainly going to do their due dilligence on these guys before making a decision. I still like Bridgewater and Bortles at #4, but I prefer Bridgewater. I don't really care if Teddy wears a glove, or if he had a bad pro day, as long as he is as poised in the pocket and productive as he was in college I'll take that any day. I think his character will shine when he meets with Pettine and Farmer, and he is probably the pick...

Anyway... this is probably just a bunch of "gamer" BS... everything these guys say this time of year is strategic, more than honesty anyway...

There's no doubt he had a crappy pro day (can someone explain why he didn't wear gloves like he always does?) but I still think he can be a good NFL QB. I just cringe at the thought of 'catching' the falling prospect in Teddy. I believe Tour2ma has pointed this out, but the last time we did that was for one Brady Quinn.
