I have been on the train as long as you, and I have a reading comprehension problem.
Where in my post you came to the conclusion I needed to hear another meaningless opinion, I have no idea. Yeah about your take. It's dog crap and means dog crap. Keep harping your opinion, I truly hope you find whatever it you are looking for. For my take re-read line two of my post very slowly and try to comprehend it this time. Have a great day.

Christ, a colossal whiff by this franchise? FFS. If Rosen and Darnold are the only two qbs in this draft not only are we screwed but the league is too.
I have seen every variation of how the qbs are going to go and every variation of who we have to take and why you are right. You all are friggin broken.
I have never seen so much wasted time and energy for something you have no control over. Truly mind numbing.
They take who they take. I see several Qbs that I believe can get it done. There are so many other variables tied to a qbs success in this league other than his individual talent. So many top choices flame out and there are many starting that shouldnt be according to the draft talk the year they came out.
Everyone just needs to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. I have been on this train for 35 years. Seen it all. I can, with a fair amount of certainty, tell you that most of you have absolutely no clue what the hell you are talking about.
Okay, I am done here.. time for a beer.

Be sure and represent. If some drunken antics and flaming table jumps are not on national TV I will be disappointed. I suppose taking shots out of Roger's butt crack would be a bit over the top? Maybe you could squeeze in doing some blow?

I think everyone just needs to calm down. There is entirely too much thinking and predicting going on. Someone is going to get hurt.

Whoops! I had the wrong Bucky.
For me Gleason is more annoying than Sully
I concur, Gleason is an ass hat.

Only 1 test per year. Steroid cycle lasts 2-3 months so it's easy to juice up during the offseason and pack on a ton of muscle and then have it out of your system by the time they test you
So it is essentially an intelligence test and Burfict failed... Idiot.

I just dont get these elite athletes and PEDs, they already made it to the NFL... Just ball out now.
Me on the other hand, I could use some PEDs with spring around the corner and a boatload of outside crap to do.

I wonder if the Bills drug test front office employees?

Then why would we have just backed the Brinks truck to sign Meatball and Star? McCarron would not have a contract with playing time tiers... Not going to happen even in an alternate dimension. QB guaranteed. Anything else is like:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 odds.
And if that shooting star happens to hit, I expect a lynching shortly thereafter.

loomis, Hue will get the most out of Tyrod, no doubt. however Dorsey acquiring him was more of a desperation move than anything else. i'd prefer to look at it from the angle of Beane getting the most from that desperation than anything Dorsey might have accomplished. do you honestly believe that there is another gm that would have given the same compensation?
Really? I am fairly certain signing McCarron like Hue originally wanted would have been viewed as desperation. Of course there is not another GM that would have paid that price, but do you really think there is another team in Clevelands predicament? From the outside looking in, Tyrod was the best choice for leadership and just his ability to not turn over the ball. Who would be better there? With Thomas retiring, and the general state of their offensive line play I sure as hell would not put anyone else back there and expect them to survive the season. He is the common sense choice to fill that spot until you can get the bleeding stopped everywhere else on that offense.

Here’s a thorough breakdown of the contract:
There is an excellent comment in that article that I largely agree with, I am going to shamelessly include it here because it is worth reading:
QuoteWelcome to the world of ESPN and NFL Network, where if you are not penetrating the line to get sacks and racking up a ton of tackles you are not considered a good player.
Let’s focus on the facts. The deal is 5 year for 50 million. That places Star #15 on the list for DT, that doesn’t even take into account the Gobsmack of money that Aaron Donald is going to be making soon. Those big penetrating DT get paid in the 15 to 20 million range. Not to mention when you start looking at the DT tackles below Star on the list 2 things are common.Really good (perhaps better) players who are still on their rookie deals, or older veterans on the downside of their careers, or younger guys who do not impact the game or require massive double teams.
You know what contract stands out? Kyle Williams at 6 million, where other similar veterans at the end of their careers are getting 3 to 4 million, which I can only assume is what some people think Star is worth, but it’s not inline with the market.
Also for the record on the Bills pay scale and roster he is 8th in salary cap accounting for a hair over 4% of the total cap, not nearly the same as the Dareus contract where he counted almost 15% of the cap, Heck Dareus is counting for 8.5% of the cap this year in dead space at a little over $14 million so next year Star will still cost less than the space Dareus is using this year. What a guy like this brings to the club is his mass. He will take up more than 1 blocker because if they don’t double team him he will beat a single block due to his size alone.
For a defense this means better pass rush because you can’t afford to double team the edge rushers all the time. For the Run defense it means you have to account for Star which opens up linebackers to do their job.
In the end it is fine to disagree, but saying I don’t like a player and we are paying them too much without looking at the facts, based on real numbers, real impacts and how the dollars actually fit into the whole structure – I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the reality is once again some fans simply look at the highlight film and go nah he brings nothing to the team, or he isn’t worth it money wise when the deal is right in line with what a player like him does and isn’t on par with the Dareus contract who was getting paid to be the pass rush from the middle but being asked to eat up blocks. -
I believe our QB outcome will be largely decided by how/if they address that festering wound called the right side of our line. Dawkins, Richie, and Groy will be solid. I am concerned about Richie staying healthy this season and injuries just happen sometimes so who is going to swing plays in there as well. If they do not comprehensively address the right side of our line, we could very well see 3 different starting QB's this season. If Miller ends up taking back guard does that mean Ducasse is going to swing in the middle? (eek) Same thing with Mills. I would love to see an upgrade there, if they find one does that mean Mills will swing? (double eek)
If they can put together a workable plan on our offensive line I would not be surprised to see AJ hold onto the job for the season. If we draft anyone other than Rosen or Mayfield that should probably be the plan anyway.
Losing Tyrod's mobility makes this even more critical this season.

While I'm not thrilled with the cap hit, one can only assume Star played an integral role in McDermott's defenses, and it goes beyond any metric used on PFF. He and Beane simply weren't going to dick around trying to save a few bucks while hoping somebody else could fill the role/learn the concepts the way they KNOW Lotulelei can.
Trust the Process.
Meh, his contract is ranked 17th from a cap hit perspective for defensive tackles. He is a space eater, stays healthy, and will keep people off meatball which damn near killed the old man late last season. Sportrac had his market value at 8.5 mil prior to signing. Excluding the signing bonus, this contract is pretty much on target with that. Not bad for a former 14th overall draft choice.

I understand what your saying. Tyrod has a potential to win games and he did. He also had a potential to play it safe with 3 points on the board until the end of the game.
Tyrod also landed on what most might agree is one of the worst teams in the NFL right now. I'm not bashing Tyrod. I'm not bashing the Browns. I just wouldn't put a whole lot of stock that Tyrod gets them into a 500 range.
Although I do plan on keeping track of how he does with the Browns. It will be very sad if a winless team can get production out of a QB that a borderline playoff team couldn't get when they finally did sneak in.
I am not saying anything other than anyone on a message board knows jack. If a gm of John Dorsey's caliber spends a #65 for Taylor, that tells you all you need to know. I did not say anything about Tyrod's success other than I am pulling for him and I expect him to have cleveland on the right side of 500 sooner rather than later. I find it sad that people don't get it that if it was not for Tyrod you would be looking at year 18 and no one can argue that fact unless you can go back in time.

I like the McCarron signing but I am a sucker for an underdog.
Murph is going to be a solid pickup.

Funny though I was on some other site earlier and listed the Bills as one of the losers.
But was pretty inaccurate as mentioned how they didn't do anything to secure a backup for McCoy. Guess this guy didn't know they signed Ivory.

That is probably the worst NFL writer I ever had the misfortune of reading. Did you read his winners? He is a schmuck.

Moments? You are so generous.
I think I have to let some of this crowd know that is sarcasm so I dont have to keep replying
Look, you post on a message board. THat is your claim to fame in regards to Pro Football. John Dorsey does not trade #65 for someone as crappy as you continually make Tyrod out to be. You can go on believing you know what you are talking about, but you look pretty foolish.
Tyrod took it as far as he could here, we obviously needed to move on for a multitude of reasons. I am pulling for Tyrod and expect him to get Cleveland on the right side of 500 sooner rather than later.

I am going to point and laugh at all of the butt hurt around here if we trade up for Allen.
I am going to take a wait and see approach. As long as we take a top 4 guy, I am pretty sure these guys have a good handle on it. Especially considering they have an entire frigging department of scouts, had boots on the ground a most of their games, and actually evaluate talent for a living in contrast to a really prolific forum poster who fancies himself a scout.

See you just don't make sense Sally. I don't have a pick, I don't care what anyone's pick is other than the one Beane turns into the league, capiche? Hope you fix that crying fit toots.
