4 games?? Hopefully it'll help get the Rams to 0-5.

Ok, it sounds like you got a hold of Tommy Chong. Try it again without the Ouiga Board and MD 20/20.

It was down several days so I contacted Tom Flugel who had Steve's number to call (which he had done already). I'm glad to see it's up even though it looks a bit strange.

I didn't call Steve - I texted him after I was contacted by you, Tia and CD. I had also previously emailed Dutch to find out if he had access to the message board and he didn't either. So, now I looked to the ph# I had for Steve that I got at a draft party Canton Mike threw in 2016 and I informed him the message board was down. I try not to be up his ass about the message board after learning from Stan (Atenears) how much he hated cry babies and a small contingent from the poli board "party of 1" that was addicted to tattling. I'm guessing that's been somewhat resolved as of late.

Steve texted back that he'll work on getting the graphics and colors back next week when he's back in town. Not much news happening beyond reading about the QBs and Jared Verse has played 2 NFL seasons and earned Pro Bowl honors both times; EXCEPT for Joel Bitonio's retirement that could be found on the Browns website anyhow.

@texasag1969 said:

And I'm seeing some national commentators saying the opposite and using Verse's run stopping/QB pressuring/maul OL style as not too much a dropoff plus 3 young ones for the future.

what up with the board ?

@syd said:

yet people still bitch, local la sports radio are saying they gave up to much

I thought that was solid.

Me too!  It's always nice to get a little wisdom from our HOF LT...

Joe Thomas has heartfelt words of wisdom on this.

how good does that trade in the 2025 Draft with the Jags look now?

It all depends on what you do with the picks you get...so, in this trade, it Looks great!  

In the Myles trade we get a younger player who has shown very well in his 1st 2 years.  So we DO have a bird in the hand...and 3 in the bush.  In theory, the last part of the trade, the 3rd rounder, won't have to ever play in the cold weather of Cleveland.

Seriously, how good does that trade in the 2025 Draft with the Jags look now?

Hunter - the generational unicorn that will revolutinize the NFL - is already relegated to basically being a cornerback only. I wonder if he'll ever be at even a Denzel Ward-level, and the Browns didn't have to trade away a first and second rounder to get Ward. 

@dutch-oven said:

So the 2029 third round pick is a conditional pick, apparently. 

If the Rams trade Myles to an AFC North team, that pick becomes a first rounder 

Great!  Let's trade with the Rams to get him back in a couple of years.    

As noted on social media, including ESPN Cleveland, looking at what the Browns gave up and got in return in those three deals is an interesting way to evaluate Berry’s overall trades and remaking of Cleveland’s roster:

Just reinforces what I said about this being a good trade for the Browns. 2nd best run defender in the league and others coming? What more would you want?

Do you see franchise QB in Arch Manning?

Me neither.

I'll be honest man, there was a time where I'd follow that sort of stuff to a science. Between kids and other priorities in life my football watching time is way lower yet alone the deep dives into footwork, release angles, and all that jazz. So truthfully I have no good basis to make the answer yes or no.

All I know is the dude checks off a lot of boxes you want at the QB position and I think it made a lot of sense to go back to Texas this year. He would have for sure gone top 5 if he declared this year on potential alone. 

@sdbacker80 said:

This is why there was a strong case to hold onto him.  This may shock the world but not every team can fit Myles in financially or can handle the asset departure and some aren’t at a point and time where it makes sense.  So we didn’t have 25-30 offers. 
 

Looks like the Rams first 2 years of cap hit are minimal, then 98 million the next 3 years.
