Njoku Back In

The Browns Board

  • I’ve had a theory for a while now that Njoku and Mayfield don’t get along so well. Is this theory based on me projecting into a limited sample size? Yeah, pretty much. But here’s what l got anyways...

    During Hard Knocks l came to see Njoku as an emerging leader on the team. Remember the scene where Brad Paisley was with the team and they did a huddle with a “1, 2, 3... whatever”? It was Njoku taking point on that. And there were other minor instances that somehow formed that opinion of him in me. How he spoke in interviews and stuff. 

    And there was this game where Mayfield was mic’d up. I found it and will link it below. At the 7:43 mark Mayfield thought it would be fun to razz Njoku by saying he could block better than him. Njoku didn’t seem too pleased. It was a brief but awkward exchange, and at the very least you could see they didn’t have that comfort factor yet. You know, like your good friends, you can razz the shit outta them and it’s fun when they dish it back. But you can’t really do that with your kinda friends. 

    So projecting out, l see 2 guys that are leader like with maybe a bit of a strained working relationship, add a high priced FA TE, another draft pick TE, maybe Njoku felt slighted the way he was treated last year between the injury and busting his ass to get back only to get benched? I could totally see how the relationship between Baker’s Browns and Njoku could have frayed.

    I'm sorry if I somehow made you think I value your opinion on anything, and want you to respond to anything I write. I do not. My sincerest apologies. 

    That's right, tap dance away. I guess your tired of getting your face caved in.

    You are trying so hard. Adorable. 

  • apparently, Njoku is afraid he'll come in third behind Hunter and Bryant.

    The way he's dropped passes, trade him. Get First round draft pick. I'm good.

    Never going to happen.  In this life or the next.

    You don't know this, it's a fake source. You're just saying this because you don't like him. He loves being in Cleveland and wants to play his entire career there. 

    To date, the sources he has linked have been better than yours.

    Correction, at least the sources he has linked are real accounts and not whatever is in your head.  

  • Rosenhaus is a cancer to all Football players around the NFL.. He ruined Terrell Pryor and AB.. He'll ruin the Chief , too!

    He's a piece of work. Of course he is pushing for a Joke-u trade as soon as he's his agent. No new deal, no coin in Drew's pocket. 

  • Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has tweeted that the Browns have known of Njoku's unhappiness in Cleveland for about a year. This is not breaking news to the Browns, apparently.

    Fowler can barely cover the Steelers...so FuCk Him & The Steelers!.. this trade would have happened during the draft if this was true..Fair to say?

    It would have made sense, especially after they added two TEs through free agency and the draft.

    But then again, if he would leave after this season through free agency, what would the Browns get for him in compensation? Could be a better pick than they would get for him via a trade. 

    Fowler didn't say why Njoku has been wanting to get out of Cleveland for a year. 

  • Njoku could have been a terrific player, but Canton Mike and I, and others, have seen him walk around without his shirt, hardly being interested in what the coach was saying. He has the typical terrific athletic ability, he's very fast, etc etc etc.

    But when it comes to being a *football player*, he likes a football paycheck, but the dropped passes, in training camp and games, and not being a good willing blocker... nope.

    My opinion, he's found out the expectations from this new coaching staff that KNOWS what they are doing, and he wants to bail.

    It's pretty bad when your punter is a hell of a lot more a *football player* than your first round TE. Poor drafting. No heart for the game.

    and yes, we get a first round pick for him, I'm good ! but we won't. So, keep him. and if he holds out the entire season, let him.

    Good article on the expectations involved in trading Njoku

    DWAI. I knew what you meant.  It was just a John Belushi/Blutarsky "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" moment... 

    Last time No Joke U had passes thrown at him - he looked like Edward Scissorhands trapped in the wrong career.   Hope we get something we need like a LBer in exchange...

  • It's humorous to watch the biggest rah-rah guys on here nearly break their necks to jump off a player or coaches bandwagon the second it is apparent the player or coach will no longer be a Cleveland Brown. 

    Tuesday: RANDOM PLAYER IS A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER, HAS A GREAT LOVE FOR FOOTBALL AND IS A GREAT HUMAN BEING!
    Wednesday: Random Player expresses desire to no longer play for Browns. RANDOM PLAYER IS A BUM, HAS ALWAYS BEEN HORRIBLE, OBVIOUSLY HATES THE GAME OF FOOTBALL, AND PROBABLY SUPPORTS THE TALIBAN!

  • David Njoku working to move past dropped passes ...

    Aug 02, 2018 · “Yes, he dropped some passes, but that is part of the game sometimes,” quarterback Tyrod Taylor said. “We know he can catch. His confidence is not broken or anything.” Browns coach Hue Jackson said he’s had conversations with Njoku about the drops, specifically last weekend’s.

    In 2018, Njoku caught 56 passes. He still dropped eight passes and had the highest drop rate of any tight end in 2018 according to Profootballfocus. In contrast, Hooper has caught 146 passes...

    5 hours ago · In 2018, Njoku caught 56 passes. He lost another eight passes and recorded the highest drop rate of any tight end in 2018 according to Profootballfocus. Hooper, on the other hand, caught 146 passes against just four drops. Remember the new motto of Berry / Stefanski: players who are “tough, intelligent, responsible”.

    NewsBreaker! When dear wife asked you to help her with a few Walmart idem's... Tell her you'd rather paint the house ?.. It's hell out there fella's! 

    A) If there was the slightest bleep of a draft trade? it would have got out by now with our media.. Instead.. a young 23 year old, average at best TE, agree's to sign his gifted* 5th year option?..?

    B.) Gave the Packers a 4th already, to move up 4 slots to draft David.. TE- OJ Howard seems fair..or at least the 4th back, that could turn into 3rd if David does.. yada/yada/yada?

    C.) Reguardless of the fact that David just saw every zoom meeting & formations of Stef's full playbook?... He just may not see a future fit as a TE2? He'd still get plenty of rep's in Stef's offense.. Butt, He also just told the 53, he did not want to play with* them... 

    seem's like we've been here before with agent Drew Rosie- palms? (Pryor/Crow/Duke/Njoku)...

    Let's see what young Berry does... and if Njoku is still around... than has to Show UP?

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.The term lends a scientific name and explanation to a problem that many people immediately recognize—that fools are blind to their own foolishness. As Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man, "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."
