@ballpeen said: The reason I say that stems back to my earlier comment. If we sign a good receiver in free agency that goes in line with Berry stating O was going to be a big focus.  With Judey, a new FA, Fannin and as a wildcard I could see the team using Sampson in more of a receiving role, we will have some weapons in addition to anybody drafted and already have. If we don't sign a FA receiver, then we  will sign a receiver before round 4.  I don't know about round 1.  There are a lot of good receivers who will be there in round 2 that won't be that much of a drop off from round 1 guys IMO. Again, I am not saying we won't.  I am simply saying I can see possibilities where we won't.  The top receivers as it stand now don't exactly blow me away.  I don't think Tate is "elite" to take at #6.  Lemon looks like he will be a hard to coach player, and guym brain fart here, looks to have injury concerns. I like Cooper from Indiana and Branch from Georgia.  I think at least one of those guys will be there in the 2nd round for us. NOW YOU LISTEN HERE!  Thank you - that was very well said...

Browns history: Kevin Stefanski continues to get the band back together with Falcons www.dawgsbynature.com

Well, some Aggies did well this weekend. Texas A&M 3 sets to 0 over SEC Champ and #2 in the country Kentucky to win the Women's Volleyball National Championship. They had already beaten undefeated #1 Nebraska in the quarterfinals.????

@ap1 said: Looks like it's a done deal Bob. Fantastic! Damn I could write a novel ( many of us could) about his time here since 2016. I suspect it was two things: his desire to get back into baseball, and I think he was pushed aside at this year's draft by AB.  His contract expires in 2026, so they might have to pay him for not working ( something the Browns seem to excell at lol). I think he is/was the #1 problem in the FO. "Chief Strategy Officer" who's only successful strategy was tanking ( twice).  He ruined an up & coming team.

Congrats 1964!!

I appreciate Sabbath and Ozzy. I can’t say l’m a super fan, but l’m definitely a fan. There are few celebrities who can morph their careers like Ozzy did. The whole reality star bit was pretty weird, but it sort of propelled him into another sphere of celebrity status. It’s a rare thing. Snoop Dogg did it. Ronald Reagan did it. And Ozzy did it too. 

they better fire mc/dc

@dutch-oven said: Can't see how the Steelers do anything beyond the band-aid this did this year at QB this coming off season either. They are in football purgatory right now. They reached a few years ago for Kenny Pickett, now they are just stuck with vets like Russell Wilson.  Kinda makes you wonder if the Stoolers will keep Russ and Justin, or keep one, or ditch both. They were spoiled with a HOF quarterback for a long time. Welcome to purgatory.

@texasag1969 said: Whatever you do don't take A&M against USC no matter how many points you get. 14 players into the portal including 3 D linemen plus two best D linemen declare for the draft. They will be down to almost no one in the DL with experience and zero depth. Wow. Amazing how they basically ruined CFB, but thanks. PS-USC has the most annoying fight song ever

@bob806 said: It's kind of odd that nobody wanted him as a HC. His teams always were tough at Tenn, until they let their offensive weapons go.  Seems like the trend is to hire young offensive guys now.  I'm glad he's in CLE.  Me too! I like who he's learned about NFL Defense from.  The same guy Jim Schwatz did - Billy Badass Belichick

@texasag1969 said: The way the Rats are playing that ain't gonna happen. Next SB champs it appears to me. Otherwise they join Buffalo in the Choke King Contest.?? All true Aggies!

@mld-woody said: So you're going to stick your head in the sand when faced with info that disproves that fake reality you've created in your head ... Pretty par for the course for you I'm sure you think you're saying something, but you really aren't.

@bbedward said: I don’t think they were even doing that. They had people like fat DLine guys getting touchdowns in the end. Offense letting up sure, but defensive guys always wanna get the scores since they don’t get the chance often. Can’t blame em Flacco is going to drop 73 on the ravens in the afc championship game. As the script writers intended People loved the hire in the beginning, but then again most also loved the hue hire in Cleveland. He’s young enough to build his career again, he just needs to stay likable unlike Hue post-browns And take responsibility unlike the same said Huey. I'm sure he thinks Grambling was an anomaly as well.

@syd said: if they truly wanted the best 4 teams, they should have put georgia in instead of washington They may have thought about it, but 2 SEC teams, not this season. Their conference stunk vs out-of-conference competition (5-7).  29 wins in a row & out after 1 loss probably irks Bulldog fans, but they really played a cupcake schedule.

Just checking the latest QB stats. Look at the bottom of you want to find Kenny. https://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr

@ballpeen said: And the deal is, the guarantee doesn't mean a whole lot.  Teams don't move off QBs soon.  If you also note, Watson isn't the highest paid QB.  All these guys are getting 250 mil contracts.  It is the going rate, like it or not. As for injury, all teams wait a year or two if their guy gets hurt, with the hope he comes back strong.  If it is a career ending injury, teams have insurance on those top dollar players. Too much is being made out of the guarantee and dollar mount. And he's going to keep going down the list of highest-paid QBs... there's a handful of young QBs - lead by Joe Burrow - that will probably easily surpass what Watson gets per year. And like you've said, how many of these QBs get a big contract and then are released?  But if Watson doesn't get back to his Texans-level, it will be a moo point. 

@flugel said: It doesn't look like you're satisfied with your point if you're trying to convince yourself of it all over again.  The sad thing was I posted I agreed with you while having fun with the coincidence of Minnesota's Super Bowl appearances flat lined after they became a dome team.  There was a whole thread full of opportunities for you to debate post season success and failures of dome teams with Zombo.  Let's get back to Bud Grant.  Great Coach respected by all.  Nobody ever thought they were soft when he was their Head Coach.  That didn't start until... ? Yeah and Harry (Bud) Grant  a 6' - 2½"  202 lb 27 year old DE with two daughters.   Yeah that's 1952 tough, he lived in the same Minnesota city his whole life.   A well respected citizen by all that knew him.   Now that is a man, again  RIP Bud.
