It's great to know that you think you know more than 32 NFL GM's do. There's a lot of that going around these days. It must be contagious.
If the NFL thinks a QB is a first round talent, he gets drafted int he first round.
That is not always the case. There have been quite a few players over the years that have fell in the draft for variety of off the field concerns. Sanders was a high-profile fall. But he is not the first player to fall.
It certainly is. At this point in the season as it usually is at this point in the year and just how sad it is to admit, what else do we have to look forward to and talk about?
And adding talent at both the OL and WR with even mediocre play from Sanders would result in more wins. The further down in the draft order you are the more assets you have to give to move up. If you think a mid round draft pick plus a future first round pick alone would move you into a top 5 pick next year I think you are sadly mistaken.
As I explained, once next years class is put under the media microscope next year, we'll be hearing everyone saying "Next years QB class looks better" yet again. Just like we did last year.
In the end we do agree. But do you really think the Browns would "take one just to take one" with a top 5 pick? I don't even consider that a possibility.
I agree that there are a lot of scenarios yet to be determined. But no matter how that concludes the Browns still need a QB no matter who is in charge of making that pick.
Let's just hope there is one they like and they do what it takes to land him in the draft. Gambling that you will be drafting this high again next year is a big gamble to take if there is a guy you like this year.
Pit no I'm not hoping we win 3 games next year. I agree if there's a QB we like this year take him. If there isn't I don't advocate taking one just to take one. There might be a better group next year. We can move up in the draft in 2027 with our #1 that year and a future #1. If we don't draft one this year we can add talent on the O-Line and WR. It'll give Shedeur more time to see what he can do also. There are a lot of variables right now because a lot is unknown. We'll know more in a month or 2. Where we'll be drafting what QBs are coming out if AB and KS will still be here etc. Many scenarios to contemplate.
So you are also hoping the Browns only win three games next year too and trade down again in this years draft to give the Browns more ammunition to move up next year? Because that's pretty much the position they will need to be in again to make that happen.
I agree with you that they shouldn't draft someone the don't "really like". But as with almost every year this great looking class next year will be picked apart with a fine tooth comb and all of their warts will be expounded on just like what we see this year and have seen every other year.
Every year we hear the same thing. "There is no Andrew Luck in this draft class." What we have seen is that along with failed high first round picks at QB, we also have seen QB's who the media downplayed, claimed were not first round picks and not considered franchise QB's turn out to be exactly that.
As I think most people understand by now, I don't put much faith in these so called "draft experts" and this case is no different.
Trump at his latest "affordability" speech.............
“I think she steams them,” he offered at one point, hoping to underscore the violation Melania Trump felt when, in his telling, FBI agents rummaged through the pristine undergarments — “sometimes referred to as panties” — during their 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago.
Trump found ample distractions in the crowd, including a group of glamorous women from the western part of the state who volunteer at his events. When he spotted a hat he liked, he explained how he could gauge its value. “I want gold thread, not mustard color. You know?” he said. “When you have a mustard-colored thread, don’t accept it.”
Recalling the times he came to purchase furniture in North Carolina as a hotelier, he explained the exacting nature of the task. “The arm of a chair was very important to me. I said, ‘I like that chair, but this arm has to be a different shape,’” he said. He kept going: “I’m a very aesthetic person, believe me, except with women, I don’t care what a woman looks like. I used to say beautiful. Now I don’t care.”
He spent several minutes discussing his physical health amid questions about his stamina after appearing to doze off during multiple on-camera events recently. He pointed to the string of cognitive tests he claims to have aced. And he pledged to alert the nation should he find himself in decline. “When that time comes, I will let you know about it. In fact, you’ll probably find out about it just by watching,” he said. “But that time is not now, because I feel the same that I felt for 50 years.”
“I think I’m probably very neurotic,” he said in Rocky Mount. “I always say controlled neuroses is good. Being neurotic, no good. But if it’s controlled, that’s okay. It gives you some energy.”
I said it on a previous post that back in August everyone was predicting this was going to be a loaded QB class. Well, it's certainly fizzled out and now next year is looking loaded. Who knows but if we can't get Mendoza or someone we really like, I'm leaning towards going with Shedeur and what else we have next season and drafting our guy in "27. Mendoza may turn out to be the only guy coming out that's worth a 1st round pick until we know who else will declare.
All season, both Mateer and Simpson have very long periods of completely shutting down at times after a bad play or a sack. I think they both could benefit from another year in school.
Most normal people share your feelings. CNN is having two specials about him tomorrow night. The first about the crime and the surrounding circumstances and the second one is an interview Larry King did with him back in the 1990's. CBS is also having a special about him tomorrow night.
They say they need more time to redact names of innocent victims. Plausible I suppose.
No matter. I don't get the urgency at this point. The files have been in the hands of the DOJ for 4-5 years. If such a big deal now, why not 3-4 years ago?
I think it is more a bunch of noise than anything else.
Please, don't start on some tirade that I am trying to protect pedophiles.
Quite simply, congress passed a law and trump signed it making yesterday the final deadline for the full release of all the files. You still remember what laws are, right? But I understand that many people these days don't allow silly little things like laws to get in the way of their feelings.
Maybe you should be asking why those who have come out and telling their stories of being abused as victims of Epstein and his clients are upset because none of their stories were released in these files nor were the names of their abusers listed. No big deal though am I right?
You don't have to try to protect pedophiles Peen. After seeing how much was redacted and where it was redacted, it seems the DOJ is doing that job for you.
That "second strike" were survivors after the boat was struck. That's a war crime. And I think most Americans have heard enough about "rigged elections".
Who said he was a swell guy? Is Putin a "swell guy"? How about Kim Kim Jong-il? Do you have any idea how many not so "swell guys" I could list leading nations around the world? Trump just picked the weakest target with the most oil. Like the school yard bully that he is. He calls those other not so swell guys strong and great leaders. You need to pay closer attention.
You sound just like the people who were justifying the war in Iraq after finding out the actual cause stated for war, WMD was proven to be wrong. "Well sure he didn't have any WMD but Saddam Hussein was a bad guy." Just another excuse to justify interfering with other countries and aggression by the U.S.
So you are for the U.S forcing regime changes? You are for overthrowing foreign governments? You now believe a president can simply claim people are drug runners and use that as an excuse to kill them? Can you show me anywhere, at any time smuggling drugs carried the death penalty according to our laws? If you can identify where these boats are, the Coast Guard can stop, search and arrest any drug runners. Murdering people based on accusations is a terrible thing to endorse.
Unless you have forgotten, in the U.S. people are presumed innocent until proven guilty and then sentenced. Not simply accused of a crime and then sentenced to death. Let me guess. Since these are not Americans on our own shores and they some of the "less than people" that makes all of this somehow okay....
My apologies,I was just informed that I was wrong.That was Glen Hansard ajnd Lisa O'Neil singing.Thank-you for ruining my xmas spirit Madam Scrooge. I will now just wallow in my patriotism.
I have a case of Guiness underneath that red headed step child of a xmas tree,and to hell with everyone I'm going to get into the xmas spirit. "twas christmas eve babe,in the drunk tank" that's an opening line.This song inspired the NYPD to actually form a choir. Damion Dempsey on vocals. RIP Shane.
They both looked good Bone. The INT Mateer threw looked like it was because the receiver ran the wrong route. Both QBs increased their value in this game IMO
well, that was underwhelming... The release of Redacted files means nothing to me. I think the FBI and DOJ have NOT complied with that law that was signed 30 days ago.
I can understand wanting to keep the names of victims secret.... But redacting whole pages doesn't tell me that they are all the names of victims. What are they hiding? Can Bondi and Patel be held accountable?
But in the end, I wasn't surprised by the lack of Complete data. I knew that the MOST incompetent administration ever, headed by the most criminal president ever, would find a way to extend the release of REAL data..
Protecting pedophiles is just the strangest thing for the Party of Law and Order.... The party of Christian Beliefs.... The party of Charlie Kirk.... (ok, that's a bit of a stretch)
It's just my opinion, but if you agree with what they hid, you are protecting Pedophiles......
They went into detail about Mateer's broken thumb. X-rays reports with doctors. Interviews with Mateer and others.
It blew my mind. He broke his thumb in a game and kept playing. Finished the game. Goes to the locker room and gets an x-ray.
Broken right at the base of his thumb. He gets surgery by a renowned hand specialist. Three screws are inserted into the bone to stabilize it. We are talking about his throwing hand.
He comes back in 17 days and plays.
Imagine trying to throw a football with a broken thumb. Your thumb is what you grip with. It is what makes us able to do all hand tasks.
He is playing games with tape on his thumb. The way he plays includes running the ball. You can see him protecting his hand while getting tackled.
His coaches and teammates are in awe of this guy.
His numbers take a dive. He goes from a Heisman candidate to struggling. And still wins games and leads his team to the playoffs.
His ability as a runner is unique. He is shifty and powerful but what stands out is his vision. He finds a way to go forward under chaos.
His arm talent jumps off the screen. Fast release from a low delivery similar to Allen. He can spin it.
Long way to the draft but right now he considered a top 50 guy. Not a first rounder.
