I understand your point of view. However, top picking teams are going to grill his already questionable character. He's up for combine interviews soon. Pretty sure, every team will question his heart. Why? Talking **** about the Bills is pretty much an American pastime at this point. *fixed Browns have more championships with 8. Bills, only 2.

YoloinOhio Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Zeke pleaded for the cowboys to draft him too and it worked. Still, they didn't need to trade up to do so. This is tacky and not a good way to start off with your new franchise. Perhaps he will luck out and the Browns trade the pick but he should stfu.

His agent is in his ear saying it's almost a guarantee he goes to Cleveland. Why do something that could potentially alienate yourself with them? I know he's a kid, but even when I was his age, I'd keep my mouth shut when I'm about to get paid $20M.

KollegeStudnet Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) "Already questionable character", what the holy hell did I miss? 1) Gil Brandt called him out several times on his show on SiriusXM on how he takes plays off if he gets overmatched. If he doesn't win the first initial battle, he will cash the game in. Went on questioning, he has great potential and big time player, but thinks he gives up. Talked about comparing him to Mario Williams going #1.2) Doesn't want to play in the cold. 3) Won't go to Philadelphia for the Draft. 4) Begs to get drafted by the Cowboys. Now is he the best player in the draft. Oh yeah! But, his choices in the past 24 hours are starting to ring some alarms if he doesn't get what he wants.

YoloinOhio Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I wonder if, the browns did trade the pick to Dallas (or some team he likes)... will he all of a sudden change his mind and go?

I know he's a kid, but even when I was his age, I'd keep my mouth shut when I'm about to get paid $20M. He's a kid from Arlington, I absolutely buy that he'd want to play for the Cowboys. I choose to believe that, although potentially misguided (mainly because EVERYONE overthinks this ****), he's just a kid having a bit of fun. I don't see it as a slight to Cleveland necessarily because it's never going to happen, it's about the least likely scenario imaginable.

But, his choices in the past 24 hours are starting to ring some alarms if he doesn't get what he wants. 1) I'll disagree with Gil on that one but that's a subjective thing. I wrote something last night accusing a player of something similar so maybe some merit to it. 2) He's from Texas. I'm not surprised he doesn't like the cold. A lot of people don't. 3) Not attending the draft isn't a character issue. If you think it is, tweet Joe Thomas. He might take you fishing. 4) Misguided perhaps but not a character issue.

I don't hate Garrett for what he said, I just think it was stupid and more importantly, not worth it. And there's a significant difference, IMO, of a reporter asking Garrett where'd he like to play, "Well, I've grown up in Arlington and stayed in Texas so I'd say Dallas because it's always been my dream, Mr. Jones, if you're listening, please trade up" and him making a home video saying only half that. One is spur of the moment light-heartedness. The other comes across a little worse, potentially. I wasn't trying to get that deep into analyzing, because that's quite a bit for one stupid home video.

I find it such a non-event and you've got people tweeting him about breaking his leg at the Combine. I guess that stirs something in me. It's certainly not the smartest thing he could've done with his day but he didn't exactly Dri Archer it and say that he wouldn't play for anyone but his boyhood team. The Browns can't afford to get butthurt over this, they can't overthink it. So what if the fans hate him? Within a few weeks, he sacks Dalton and Roethlisberger and they'll forget all about it. As a fan base, they've forgot worse. Edited February 11, 2017 by Blokestradamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 sam kahn jr espn staff writer Myles Garrett said he was a little caught off guard by the national reaction to his video of him jokingly pleading the Dallas Cowboys to draft him. "I've already said I like the Cowboys because that's my hometown team. But I want to go No. 1. Whoever that is, if that's Cleveland, I have no problem going up there and playing with them. I'm going to love whatever team and organization that I'm a part of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It would be hilarious if he fell in the draft all the way down to 27 where the Chiefs took him right before Dallas gets to pick. Just hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well well well Asked what he felt he had to do to be the No. 1 pick, Garrett said “dominate here and not make any more crazy videos.” The Browns, who hold the No. 1 pick, probably feel obliged to ask Garrett about the video that surfaced on ESPN.com in which Garrett jokingly asked the Cowboys, his hometown team, to draft him. Garrett said he had a formal interview planned with the Browns Saturday night and planned to offer an apology for that video during the meeting. He also called that video his biggest regret. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/04/myles-garrett-wants-to-be-top-pick-says-hell-apologize-to-browns-for-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
