BringBackFergy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Before all y’all go anointing the Browns as the next AFC North Champs (or AFC contenders) think about the egos in this room: * Kareem Hunt - Yeah, I know. He had mad squabbles with a babe. But the chip on his shoulder grew into a friggin’ boulder. This kid has some energy that will ultimately bubble over like Peter Brady’s science project. Instead of Marsha’s nose, it’ll be some equipment manager. * QB Baker Mayfield: Does a second year QB have the ability to reign in the egos in this locker room? Shoot no. Dude has an ego of his own. So now we have oil and water, wine and vinegar, vinegar and oil...whatever *grab crotch* * Jarvis Landry - What really needs to be said about this piece of chit? Has injured more NFL players and started more on-field fights than Matt Barnaby in his prime. This all stems from an off kilter psyche which is the gasoline on Kareem’s kindling. BOOM! * Head Coach Freddie: Let’s just say he’ll be buying “Hair for Men” at BJ’s in three to four weeks after the season starts. Dude has ultra egos to manage and as a first year head coach, he’ll be hiding in the trainer’s office by Week 5. * OBJ - I cringed at the thought of Antonio Brown but would have given him TO’s key to the city instead of this buffoon. Lock of the season: OBJ is suspended for 4 weeks due to either drugs or being a complete Summer’s Eve in some manner or method. Mega ego, and a lot of “Here’s how we did things in The City” will not go over well with the canine brigade in our Sister City. I love Cleveland, but this dude is the Slitherin to Cleveland’s Griffendor. * Myles Garrett - Will want to be traded by Week 8. I’ll bet 800 of my rep points the Browns are no better than 2-5 by October 20. Any takers? I will freely allow the mods to subtract my 800 rep points and divide them among those who bet against me...but for anyone who bets me, the mods have the right to transfer yours to me.

MJS Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think people just assume that Mayfield will be an elite QB next year (same goes for Josh Allen). But think he still has growing pains to go through. Mayfield and Allen are still young and inexperienced QB's. I think both teams are still a season or two away from being true contenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I don't care if he's Freddy Kitchens or Bobby Bathroom there's no way a first year HC manages to navigate the AFC North AND compliment OBJ on his hair 2x daily as stipulated in his new contract.

Kwai San Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) You bring up several salient points. While I agree with your talking points ... 2-5 is a bit harsh. Ima thinking a tad bit better....any reason you are only going 7 games into the season? At this point I am too lazy to check to see what I got for the supposed points....do they really matter anyway?

JimKellyTryouts Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Kareem Hunt is going to be terrified of making any more mistakes, Baker is a stud, Myles Garrett wouldn't get traded even if he wants to since he's so good and under rookie contract control (not to mention it's totally meaningless to bring up him or Kitchens in your attempt to call out the egotistical players in this room), OBJ wanted to go to Cleveland more than anything and he and his best bud Landry are not going to throw any sort of a mutiny, especially if they play as well as they can. I couldn't care less about your impractical wager about internet points, but let's definitely bump this back up after the TNF matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo has legit leaders that are heavily respected by their teammates. Lorax. Shady . Frank Gore. Hyde/Poyer/Tre going into year 3 together. Dimarco. Hughes Besides Tre , we're not relying on any young guys besides Tre and Edmunds to be leaders. No divas , no outlandish personalities , no crazy media distractions. Who does Cle have that resembles this type of leadership besides Baker. Beckham was not liked in that locker room. He dissed his QB . Was a media ***** and nowhere near a leader or respected as a man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
