DC Tom Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Maybe this is reverse psychology: he's claims he's trying to go to Cleveland, thereby exhibiting such poor judgement that he falls in the draft and ends up not going to Cleveland. It certainly makes more sense than wanting to go to Cleveland. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense........there SHOULD be a window there where they have one of the 2-3 most talented rosters in the NFL while he is on his first contract. Then again........Cleveland could also blow that. Also he wouldn't be following Eli...........and Cleveland is not a huge media town like Giants or Jets. Buffalo is less intriguing for sure for these young QB's because they are an old team with tons of needs...........but that could change dramatically in 2-3 years if the Bills manage their chips right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If Buffalo had the first pick they’d be saying the exact same thing. Cleveland is NOT more desirable for a young qb. Kizer was drafted just last year, was totally mismanaged, fed to the wolves when everyone knew he wasn’t ready, and has been completely abandoned and will be lucky to be a third qb next year. Not desirable. Edited March 24, 2018 by Bobby Hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Browns might be in great position. They might transition to a better team. Saying they will go from winless to 500 or better in a season is kinda like saying Peterman will lead the Bills to the Playoffs next season. A lot is unknown but I agree they have potential.

I just think some are over zealous about how fast it all goes down. If the Bills had the Browns picks I would think the same thing if we went winless last season.

Iamkrgr Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thats a good attitude to have. Quite the contrast to him deciding to not throw at the combine. I like Darnold the most of the big 4 or 5(depending on how you see Jackson). I think the's got the highest floor as a decent qb. He's got tremendous upside as well. USC QB's recently... not so sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question there is whether the coaching/management is competent enough to put anything sustainable together. Philip Rivers fell into a wonderful situation in San Diego early in his career............people forget that for several years he had arguably the best talent around him in the NFL.........but non-QB talent is fleeting if the organization is bad. John Butler/Marty transitioned to AJ/Norv.....Norv coached their window shut and the slide began.....Rivers has had support issues since as they've juggled leadership. Haslam is a bad owner, Hue is at best a non-matchup winner as a HC and Dorsey got fired at his last job. Maybe they will rise above those labels but it's more likely that they don't.
