2016 Browns Season Thread

    I'm betting he gets traded or cut in the offseason.

    The video looks like it's at somebodies house. Who gives a fuck.

    But after watching Goff today, he's looked impressive. The more I think on Johnny he scares me. If Johnny shows me something Sunday I roll with him next year, if he has another outting like Sunday against KC I'm going Goff. And I love Johnny. If Goff comes out and he's there I take him. Then Josh Docton in the second.

    If he benches him again, I'd say that is pretty petty.

    I'm starting to get the vibe he's doing this on purpose to force the Browns' hand and get out of here.

    Kind of agree here.

    There was an article on Yahoo earlier today, which I now can't find, about how he was trying to force their hand so he could go to Dallas. I just wish we hear more about how well he's playing on the field (if that were the case) than the stupid tabloid stuff we seem to hear every other week off the field.

    Off topic but here are the Browns home/away opponents for next year. On paper it looks like a few more wins but some of the "11-5" comments at the bottom are laughable.

    So you're basing JFF's future in cleveland based on 1 game? Or am I missing something.

    If everything stays as it is (Titans with #1 pick, Browns #2) the Browns will actually have two 1st rounder's again this year. New England lost their 1st so the Browns would be selecting at #2 & #32 as the top pick in the rounds flip flops between #1 & #2.

    Bosa and a WR?
    Bosa and an ILB?

    At this point I don't give a shit as long as they're studs. No more Gilbert's or Mingo's. Anyone (please) that can make an impact. If they grade one of the top QB's very high, take one of them.

    I'd really hate to see Bosa wearing purple & black for the next 8-10 years though. And that's just the type of guy Ozzie would take.

    Love how everyone just assumes that if they don't take a QB with their top pick, they're going to draft a stud.

    They could just as easily miss on a DE as they could a QB.
  • slingshot4ever
    Josh Gordon will be back, right?

    The one DE that would be a pretty much sure stud would be bosa. The kid has it all. I'm really curious to see how he does against ND. Stanley and mcglinchy will be first round picks at the tackle position.

    No such thing as a sure stud.

    Bosa has played in games this year and last where we've (osu fans) have all thought "where the hells Bosa been?"

    I do think he'll be a good pro but certainly isn't a 100% lock to be a stud.

    Manziel appears to be holding a Four Loko and is wearing a "Merry Manziel" Christmas sweater.
    I'd bench him for having shitty taste in alcohol. Comes from wealth, makes how much playing professional football -- still drinks cheap garbage like he's back in the dorms.
    Pettine, however, did add that he believed this latest video is different than the one that got Manziel into trouble in November.
    "These circumstances are different from the incident that occurred before," Pettine said. "I'm just not going to go into a ton of detail with it until I get a little bit more information about it, but it's something that I'm sure privately we'll discuss if it needs to be discussed."
    What's different? Pettine is days from being fired and doesn't have administrations support in benching Manziel anymore?

    By the way, Manziel gets himself into trouble -- warranted or not -- every time a video surfaces of him drinking. Yet he keeps hanging with people who record him and post it online? Get some better fucking friends.

    The only problem I have with Bosa is that if they keep Pettine, or hire a coach who favors the 3-4, will he fit the system? Listed at 276 lbs, that's kind of light for a 3-4 DE. Do they try to convert him to OLB? He's going to be a better fit in a 4-3, imo.

    As sad as that sounds, it's true.

    It sort of fits the narrative he's doing this because he wants out

    Agree 100%.

    Manziel is a douche. Good riddance if he leaves.

    That being said, Pettine and his handling of manziel couldn't have been worse.

    Basically everyone sucks in Cleveland. Except Joe Thomas.

    Who is on the decline, but still top 3 tackle in the league.

    I just meant from a personality standpoint. Joe just STFU and plays. People should take notes.

    I mean yeah if I was Manziel I'd want out from dealing with Pettine after what happened this season, but he needs to stop exacerbating the situation with this stupid shit that he knows the media will jump on.

    I just don't understand how you can go to "rehab" (yes, most likely a PR move), still continue to drink openly and put yourself in situations that will be viewed negatively. He took time away from his job to "rehabilitate" himself and this is now the 3rd incident, correct? It's a slap in the face to his employer.

    I don't think the last two videos are a big deal at all, but I won't be surprised if he's gone sooner than later.

    Still #1 in Pass and Run by PFF. Not even sure why you bothered to bring up he's on the "decline".

    Adding to things in at least a weird way, according to Deadspin, Manziel is being checked for concussion protocol today, which could put his ability to play Sunday at risk. Cue the "is he really concussed or is he "concussed" as a way to take the easy way out as far as dealing with him goes?" pondering.

    At least, between his shitty day passing Sunday, his latest party vid and now the possibility of being injured, we've gone a few days without Foot acting like he's Jesus in Shoulder Pads, still on pace to wind up about the 2nd best QB of all time.

    According to Twitter, Pryor getting reps at QB.
