    This isn’t about political party. Although on the surface it appears to be. Donald Trump didn’t need to be taken down because he was a Republican. He needed to be eliminated because he was an outsider. The goal was to send a message both to Trump and anyone else who might dare to shine a light into the status quo of these entrenched government bureaucracies.

     

    Trump was an "outsider" in name only.  He did all the same crap that has been going on for years.  He was just dumb enough to talk about it too.  His family profited the same as everyone else in office.

    But they're still the Browns, and they still play in Cleveland, and they still have that clown of an owner.

     

    You talk a lot of crap about a city,  when Buffalo has been just as bad over the years. They're on a good 3 year run,  but haven't won anything more than Cleveland at this point.  Congrats?

    "Trembling, Confused, Where am I going?" Feinstein back at work

    Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein returned to the Senate in an allegedly confused state Wednesday as she entered the Capitol in a wheelchair.

     

    The 89-year-old lawmaker was absent from the Senate for over two months due to complications from her shingles diagnosis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer greeted Feinstein outside the Senate chamber, where she trembled and appeared confused, the Huffington Post reported.

    And this why term limits are needed.

    You left out a 79 rating, 58% completion percentage, 6.5 average and 20 sacks behind a great OLine in 6 games.

     

    Is his contract set up where he gets more money if sacked?  

     

    Again, not great.  I said he was average. But he wasn't "awful", especially given the circumstances.  They played a game in 40 mph winds, and then another with -21 wind chill in the course of 6 games. Everyone plays in bad weather occasionally, but not 1/3 of your games. 

     

    All that with very limited preseason and then no practice/meetings/etc for over half the season. 

     

    There's a chance he doesn't improve going into this year,  but I think it's a tiny percentage.

    They had consistent play with Brissett. Stefanski is a moron. Their DC last year was even worse. Watson was awful. 

    Offseason addressed many issues. 

    But HC and QB are the same. 

    Stefanski will be first HC fired on Nov 20th after a home loss to Pittsburgh. 

     

    You keep saying Watson was awful last year,  which isn't true. He definitely wasn't great,  but he ended the year at 7 TDs, 5 INTs, and played 2 of his 6 games in terrible weather.  And hadn't played in a year and a half.  

     

    If he continues to play like that over the long haul, Cleveland will be average at best.  Their defense blew more games last year and Joe Woods is finally gone.

    Watson is absolutely awful.  He had multiple weeks to prepare and was truly terrible in his 6 weeks of action last season.  

    Will go down as the single worst GM decision in NFL history.  Far worse than any draft pick bust or other lopsided trade.  They knew about the allegations and still gave away multiple years of draft picks and signed him to the single worst contract in NFL history.  NFL is likely blackballing the Browns from PrimeTime games to avoid the  public backlash.

     

    Watson in 2020 was top tier. He still has the talent. He wasn't allowed to practice for months or even be in the building. He didn't even get 1st team reps or play much in preseason because they had to get Brissett ready to play.  

     

    Watson was average last year. He was understandably very rusty the 1st game or 2 and they had a couple terrible weather games at the end of the year. Not excusing his play but it definitely puts it into perspective a little bit.

     

    He very well may never get back to where he was. But I think it's very premature to come out and say that he's terrible all the sudden.

  7. I don't disagree with much of what was said, but Watson played in 2020, so he has played 6 games in 2 seasons, not in 3 seasons.  You would assume that he would get back closer to 2020 Watson after a full offseason and beginning the year, but I don't disagree with Cleveland's lower rating until he proves it.  If he is 2020 Watson, they should be SB contenders.  If he isn't, then they won't be.

    He definitely does not have a case

     

    seeing as kelce played like 35% of his snaps flexed and he isn’t considered a WR

     

    the TE wanting WR franchise tag money is over

     

    and Why would a LB wanna be classified as a DE? The franchise tag for a LB is more than a DE…

     

    they don’t separate Pass rushing OLBs or MLBs…. It goes to the average of the most expensive… which is pass rushing OLBs and they get more than DEs lol 

     

    The DE tag is more than a LB tag.  Or it was for several years.  I do believe it is closer now.  It's the average of the top 5 salaries for the position.

     

    And again, the previous post said if he was inline for 10%.  That means 90% flexed.  If Kelce was flexed 35%, that means he was inline for 65%, which is the majority.

  9. Someone else put it best earlier in the thread.  Burrow is the better QB.  Allen is a better overall football player.  Allen is bigger, faster, and has a stronger arm.  Burrow is more accurate, and processes defense and coverages better.  Burrow seems to make better decisions overall, and Allen will give you more WOW plays.  

     

    If I had to pick 1 of the 2 start start a franchise with, it would be Burrow, but mainly because I feel like Allen's style of play is much more unforgiving, at some point he will slow down, and his body will have problems from the hits.  It may be 3 years, it may be 10.  But Burrow is a guy I could see playing 15-20 more years.  Allen may too, but not the way he plays now.  And I trust Burrow more as a pure passer than Allen.

    HE played 30% (roughly) of his snaps on the line. Lets reverse this. How many WR's have any snaps on the line. What % will Kincaid be on the line for Buffalo if Knox is not in that specific play or out for the game. If that comes out to be any % over say 10% Then he is still a big bodied TE that plays WR.

     

    Only time and stats will tell

     

    If he lines up at the line for only 10% of his snaps, he would have a major case to be classified as a WR.  Just like the LBs who rush 80% of the time.  They usually win their case to be classified as a DE.  

     

    What typically happens in those cases is the team and player agree to a number somewhere in the middle.

    he stinks

     

    PFF Rank out of 81 OT's

     

    #66 - Donavan Smith

    #65 - Jawaan Taylor 

     

    both are horrible in the run game

     

    Good thing the Chiefs are a run first offense.

     

    Smith dislocated his elbow early last year.  He was much worse after that.  Not saying he is All Pro, but he is at least average, which is usually sufficient.

    I want WR Jake Bobo, UCLA and LB Ben VanSumeren, Mich St.

     

    Bunch of safeties:  Trey Dean, and Rashad Torrence, Florida, Ronnie Hickman, Ohio St., Quindell Johnson, Memphis

     

    Hickman to Cleveland.

    They would be crazy to trade for Henry. 

    They have two first round picks. 

    They are at 10 and if the predicted run on QBs happens they can be looking at a top 5 defender or OT at 10. Better yet they can trade down 5 spots get another 1st rounder next year and still get Robinson. 

     

     

    If Tennessee is just dumping salary,  it may take a later round pick to get Henry, and they keep their higher picks.  No way they would have to trade a 1st for him.

    This draft reminds me, a bit, of the Allen draft.   Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Rosen at the top of the draft... in the sense that I think it will be a bunch of busts and, maybe, Richardson lives up to his potential. 

     

     

    The issue being, for every Allen, there are 5 busts.  Most QBs who are drafted on "potential" are hot garbage because if they're drafted on potential it generally means they aren't that great.  Allen was able to refine himself for the most part, but he still has his moments where the guy drafted on potential shows up.

    Maybe, but I don't think so. I think the Panthers and the Texans both want Young. I was told Young was Houston's guy way before lying season started. Before Carolina moved up too. If he goes at #1 I think there is a chance that Houston either doesn't pick a QB at #2 or trades out. 

     

    To trade out they would need someone willing to give them a 2024 first I think because they'd be punting the decision a year. Not sure anyone else is as desperate as the Panthers to do that. My advice would be take CJ Stroud at #2. You have a 2nd first this year to get someone at another position who can help. And if you are not sold on CJ just be open to taking another QB next year if he struggles. 

     

    I don't like Stroud much.  If I'm Houston, I trade down if Young goes 1 and try to grab Richardson or Levis.  Stock more picks and take either of those guys wherever you trade down to, or at 12. Still a gamble, but the extra picks help offset the risk.
