You are right. We have a friggen communist in the NYC mayor's mansion.

By the way, that isn't going well.

What is it about showing a valid ID at the polls that scares you people so much? I don't get it.....well, maybe I do, but seriously.

I believe they can go with the QBs on the roster.

And I’m 90 per cent certain they will.

SS is going to get every chance to build on his rookie year. Gabriel is trade bait at best. Watson could get an opportunity to be the day 1 starter.

Forget Derek Carr, Malik and Cousins.

Sanders and Gabriel are not getting paid much.

DW of course is getting paid.

$20 a year for two years from what I understand is doable.

No matter who they would sign as a free agent it would cost close to the same.

I don't know if they will do this? But from my POV they cannot just stay with what they have on the roster.

For reasons pit laid out, especially the part about money he will get and our cap situation, it is highly unlikely Willis will be a Brown.
so you might as well forget that idea.

I do not see going into this year with the current QB room as a viable plan.

DW needs no discussion we have seen him play and not play.

Gabriel and Sanders are later round selections that were drafted as projects. Low risk but also not regarded as solutions to the quarterback position.

That leaves free agency, trade and the draft if a quarterback is going to be added to the roster.

Trading for a quarterback is suspect because someone is ready to give up on a quarterback. Good quarterbacks are not traded often.

The draft this year has one guy who is considered a franchise type player.

We already have two quarterbacks who are later round picks on the roster. Bringing a third QB from later in the draft into the QB room seems redundant.

That leaves free agents. Willis seems like the best option IMO. I am not interested in the other guys who might be brought in.

I am not ready to hand the job to Sheduer, Gabriel, or DW. Willis adds competition with possible upside.

Willis on a two year deal seems like a good play. If we draft a guy in 2027 Willis or one of the others can act as a bridge.

And history has also shown that some guys perform well as back up QB's but when the pressure and the weight of being the starter falls on their shoulders they crumble like a chocolate chip cookie.

I can't say for sure which way Willis would fall. If he would succeed of fail as a starter.

But after being a Browns fan for decades I can tell you this. Every time there has been a QB controversy fans who have seen the back up QB play well in limited action scream for them to become the starter. There have been times that some have even sounded like that backup would be the savior. Or that the backup would be a better alternative to the current starter.

Then when they get named the starter............... Well, you know as well as I do how that has worked out in the past. I would certainly never advocate that the Browns spend 40 million over two years to watch that experiment play out again.

And no, we're not talking about last season. The FO made it plain they wanted to see both of the rookies start. In fact they wanted to see it so badly they shipped off Flacco.

And they still have no idea where they stand in terms of having a legitimate NFL starting QB. The risk of adding spending 40 million dollars to end up with the same results does not sound appealing to me.

There are other needs which should be addressed now with what limited cap space they have.

As history has shown some guys take time to develop.

Willis was not ready when he was drafted. He came from a one read simple system in a small school .

He was a long way from NFL ready. The last two years he has done well when he has played.

He looks like the best option out there for the Browns IMO. Low risk and a chance to be more than what we have.

The Browns are not in a position where we have many options that offer much more.

Trump says he will issue executive order on voter ID if legislation fails

Trump promised voter ID requirements "whether approved by Congress or not."

President Donald Trump said Friday there will be voter ID requirements for the midterm elections "whether approved by Congress or not," vowing to issue an executive order if legislation fails.

"This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order," Trump said in a post on his social media platform.

In an earlier social media post, Trump claimed without evidence that Democrats are not in favor of voter ID laws because they "want to continue to cheat in Elections."

"This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," Trump said in the post.

"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel," he added.

The latest comments come as Trump-backed election reform legislation -- the SAVE America Act -- narrowly passed the House this week but faces an uncertain future in the Senate.

An earlier iteration of the bill, called the SAVE Act, which also passed the House last year had stalled in the Senate.

Trump and top Republicans have argued the revised bill is necessary to protect the country's election process before the 2026 midterm elections in November.

The SAVE America Act would require photo ID at polling places and mandate states obtain proof of citizenship before registering a person to vote in a federal election.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the GOP bill would make it harder for Americans to vote and is "dead on arrival" in the Senate.

"It’s a fringe piece of legislation that has now taken over the Republican party, masquerading as election security when it's really about laying the groundwork to meddle in the midterm elections, and make it much harder for people to vote," Schumer said in a statement Feb. 9 before the House vote.

There has been no credible evidence of widespread fraud or substantiated claims of U.S. elections being tampered with, and experts have long insisted that noncitizen voting is a rare problem. Voter roll audits before the 2024 elections in Georgia found only 20 registered noncitizens out of 8.2 million registered voters statewide. Nine of those actually cast a ballot.

Trump has long made unsubstantiated accusations of fraudulent voting and has repeatedly called for the federal government to assume a broader role in administering elections.

"I want to see elections be honest. And if a state can't run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it," Trump said from the Oval Office on Feb. 3. "Because, you know, if you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections. I don't know why the federal government doesn't do them anyway. But when you see some of these states about how horribly they run their elections, what a disgrace it is."

It's not the first time Trump has said he would change elections via executive order. Trump issued a similar threat in August.

Last March, he signed an executive order titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections," which sought to require voters to prove their citizenship upon registration. The order directed the Election Assistance Commission to update the federal voter registration form to include a requirement for "documentary proof" of citizenship.

That order was challenged in multiple lawsuits, which have so far stymied the administration's efforts.

In a decision last April, a federal judge said Trump's attempt to reshape election processes by executive order exceeded his authority.

“Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States—not the President—with the authority to regulate federal elections,” U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her opinion. “No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”

He also got Vraberl fired from the Titans as their starter.

No, a numbers guy is a numbers guy. There are a lot of them out there. So you're saying he was kept to fix the clusterfudge cap mess he himself created?

Sounds like Haslam thinking.

I do have t tell you, I REALLY like that song!

Why Berry wasn't fired is a matter of conjecture, but my take is he wasn't fired because of our last very good draft and some FA additions he made. Furthermore, he's probably the only one that will be able to maneuver us through our complicated cap situation. It might take a team of nuclear scientists to figure that out.

Carr is not coming here for the reasons that have been stated. Willis might be the answer but we're probably not going to be able to pay him as much as another team because of our cap situation. Bottom line is we're going to have to do something that we've really never been able to do and that's develop our own QB. With the exception of Bernie and Otto Graham we haven't developed any QB. Very pathetic track record over nearly 80 years.

Derek Carr has made it clear that he will only play for a team who has the chance to win a championship now.

He will not go to Cleveland.

I am intrigued by Malik Willis. He is young and really athletic. He will get a Justin Fields type deal two years for around $40m.

He would add a different element to the QB room. A guy who has explosive wheels and a big arm. He played high school ball about 3 miles from my house.

He has been great in limited play as a back up for Love. He is ready for a real opportunity as a starter.

He would be a guy that adds a chance of high upside. He is not a sure thing but for where the Browns are at. He would give us a chance at an answer for the job.

Sounds like me you and most of my friends Pitt.

I don't disagree with you Andrew Berry should have been fired. I agree.

Debatable....

What's not debatable is that someone cannot lie when giving sworn testimony. ICE agents are being deployed like they're a goon squad, and we're seeing behavior in line with that.
