  • Dorsey can now roll the dice that Mayfield gets to #4..Mayfield should still be there at #4..Barkley is gone at #1 while Giants & Colts sweat bullets..By chance if Mayfield is gone at #4? It's not the worst thing that could happen now with Tyrod in place..Am not sold on Mayfield in the pros..but Dorsey drives that truck

  • The Browns needed a bridge QB, a guy who can start for (hopefully) as long next season that the Browns feel is needed to get their rookie QB up to speed. (Might be entire season?)

    I think there might be too much read into Taylor's size or playing style. I don't see him being some clue to what the Browns QB of the future will be. 

    I mean, what about Alex Smith reminds anyone of Pat Mahomes?

  • A few thoughts:

    1. Who are the 2019 quarterback prospects, too early to guess on that?

    2. A fair chance that the BROWNS will not be picking #1 maybe even 2, 3 who knows top 5 in 2019?

    3. The loss of Kizer, even though some despised his play, did change the BROWNS quarterback succession plan. Maybe #4? R2? Build up maybe three candidates going forward.

    Enquiring minds want to know!

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • Mayfield ?????????????.    Jackson ?????????????

  • Why would you draft a QB that has the exact same skill set (and lack of) that you just traded for?

    I posted this once and I feel nobody is addressing it - when you have a coaching staff that actively limits opening up the passing game, leaving you with 2 &3 man patterns and going with a far more conservative approach, that tends to lend itself to not turning the ball over.     

    Tyrod throwing only 4 INTS all year isn't necessarily something to be celebrated like it's an offensive marvel.  He's not a QB that routinely drives the ball downfield.

    who were Taylors supporting cast in buffalo ?  where here he will have Landry and Gordon should change his downfield approach

    jarvis landry doesnt get downfield.

    Also, taylor actually throws a very good deep ball.  It's one of his strengths

    Huh?

    I thought the sick face made it clear what I thought of Jackson. Taylor too for that matter.

    Clearly our FO don’t care about his height after the Taylor trade. 

    Taylor will be the starter but one thing we know is that he gets hurt so the rookie we do draft is going to play at some point.

    Could it be Baker?

    I think you have a point.   Let's put it this way.....this seems at least to not eliminate him as a possible choice, even if it does not make him the favorite.

    Contrarily....why would you draft a QB with the exact same skill set you traded away

    Meaning of course.....that chances of taking Allen drop precipitously.

    Fair to say?

    A lot of those QB variables age, experience, skill set, size, team chemistry, salary, room for growth, etc. I don't really ever paying more attention to the next BROWNS quarterback(s) as this year.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • The trade for Taylor changes nothing. He will serve as the bridge so his physical dimensions have zero bearing on the type of QB they are taking.

    That said, I am completely against drafting Mayfield. 

    👍

  • IMO, Mayfield poses JUST THE SLIGHTEST risk of the Manziel type.....and I just don't think the organization (Jimmuh & Dee included) wants anything to do with ANY risk of that at all.

    I think Mayfield is a bit of an immature frat bro. 

    But I don't think his personality/character will torpedo his future like Mayfield. (I do, though, think opposing defenses are going to go out of their way to go after Mayfield to put him in his place, like Manziel was treated by opposing defensive players) That's the difference between the two, IMO. Mayfield's personality doesn't seem self-destructive, just immature that could cause the team he plays for PR headaches.

    My issue with Mayfield is his height and what conference he played in. A 6' tall QB from the pinball stats conference is a HUGE risk at #1 or #4 overall.

  • Tyrod size isn't an issue, he is a proven commodity, thats what they traded for, not for how hard he can through the tall or how tall he is. And his lack of turnover is an important factor. It maybe that he doesn't drive the ball down field a bunch or whatever, but Tyrod is here to keep the seat warm, not start for the next decade. He is here most likely for one year and then gone. His job will be to keep the team in the game and not kill them with turnovers.
