Obviously, h... just placing a bet on the semblance of a football mind over a physical specimen.

Welcome to the Browns kid. You have chosen the path of righteousness regardless of how you got there.

Soon a 'CALTroj123' will show up from USC and tell us the truth about the greatness of Kessler.

I posed this at 1:07PM and the new guy shows up at: 4:16 PM.

@wargograw said:

Ah, but no one did it like the Aggies did... both in volume and ferocity...

Add that right now the genuine, Kessler-fan influx over/under is at "1" and at best it's looking like a "push"...

@brownsnmopar said:

Id take Griese in his prime anytime!

Honestly not sure how well he'd translate to today's NFL...

@hoorta said:

What our newest member needs to understand there's a ton of Ohio State fans who frequent this forum- and are kinda POed the Browns took Kessler instead of Cardale Jones...

Kessler >> Jones...

@diehardbrownsfan said:

seriously? if so, they totally got me. **props lmao**

@falcon7 said:

that's true. and if you aren't accurate by the draft, you probably never will be. also, Tom Brady's arm strength today is not at all what it was at Michigan.

so he can't throw a 70 yard home run but he can fit it in super tight windows, find the open man, and throw them open? sounds like with Corey Coleman's separation Coach Hue's team is gonna be moving some chains in the future.

i believe she liked Paxton Lynch, and hoped he'd go anywhere but Denver. when he did i sort of smiled.

i hate the Broncos as well but absolutely love Colorado, fwiw. i will be watching PL's career with interest.

@law-dawg said:

i appreciate the insight. i am hopeful but being realistic as well.

i don't mind new fans as long as they are realistic too. Texas breeds football diehards, not just Johnny fans. can't speak for the Board but Browns fans are always welcome to sit at my table. unfair to punish all of Texas over JTMZ...just sayin.

nice to meet you, see you around.

I've seen toon many wobbly 15 yard sideline throws in USC games in the last couple of years...

@caltroj123 said:

welcome to the Browns Board CALTroj123. it's a great place to discuss the Browns...even if many of us are pretty jaded. i am sure you can imagine why, having been through many decades of heartache and letdowns. so i apologize for my peers, but we have seen posts like these many, many times before...even sometimes by one of our own just trolling, hence the unfair accusations re: ghoolie.

regardless, WELCOME ABOARD! not to dissuade you posting here at all but a disclaimer could be helpful to transplant fans who are unfamiliar with this place: hope you have some thick bark cuz it doesn't matter who you are, if you say something challengeable here expect to hear about it...and it's usually not treated with kid gloves.

so, consider this thread your "shot across the bow". if you are the sensitive type and want some solid advice, lurking for a while (a few months) usually pays dividends in the long run. personally i lurked off and on for well over 6 months before i made a single post here and i can take it even better than i can dish it, and i can be quite a dickhead myself. so take this fwiw and enjoy yourself here, all that considered this place is outstanding and honestly punching pussies in their mouths actually makes for a better board, at least in my opinion. not to speak for everyone but it's easy to lose sight of common consideration to newbies after all the abuse Browns fans seem to constantly endure.

what are your thoughts about Cody's arm strength? from what i saw pundits unanimously agree it is a concern in Cleveland, saying he is more suited to a dome team (which won't save you on the road or in the playoffs/SuperBall anyway).

i like the accuracy component but do his throws have the velocity to cut through with the wind coming off Lake Erie and the drizzle in the fall and snow in the winter? what are your honest thoughts here?

@hoorta said:

Well, you do have a point.......

What our newest member needs to understand there's a ton of Ohio State fans who frequent this forum- and are kinda POed the Browns took Kessler instead of Cardale Jones- who isn't a relative shrimp- and can nearly throw a football through a brick wall. He's from Cleveland too, on top of all that.

We've picked up a couple of keepers from the Manziel fiasco- so buckle your seat belt- CalTroj- it can get sort of rough in here sometimes.

I wanted to take a chance on cardale but I understand why hue wanted who he wanted. I'm all good with it. I'm glad cardale didn't end up in Pittsburgh getting coached up by Todd Haley.

@brownsfan11 said:

Kessler put up really good numbers at USC, has a good arm, is accurate. I don't think anyone should really be that upset considering he was a third round pick. No real risk in this pick at all and it could pay huge dividends if it works out. I am pleased with the pick.

HILARIOUS!!

@wargograw said:

Scatter thoughts here:

1. You guys can stop acting like A&M is the only school that does this now....

2. You have to learn how to devest after guys leave your school. Once guys graduate from A&M, I don't give a hell what they do. Of course I want them to do well because it makes A&M look good, but other than that I really could not care less.

3. Nevertheless, welcome aboard. Go Browns

You just can't teach hand size!

@caltroj123 said:

Cody Kessler is a great QB, I'm telling you you guys got a STEAL. He will lead you guys to a winning franchise, you guys finally found your qb

Thanks for the kind words for our newest QB. I hope he turns out to be the guy you believe him to be.

I also hope that you're getting into the Browns at right the right time.

I'm excited.

Opal do you know who's draft profile summary this is? "Summary: Is not what you're looking for in terms of physical stature, strength, arm strength and mobility, but he has the intangibles and production and showed great Griese-like improvement as a senior. Could make it in the right system but will not be for everyone."

Id take Griese in his prime anytime!
