  To the extent that people said it about Watson? Maybe I’m misremembering but I don’t remember hearing it with rg3 to that extent.

  Oh, I wasn’t talking about OC. I was talking about the media love fest for RGIII. A lot of Cleveland bashing too for not trading for him.

  There was a lot of talk about RGIII's maturity level, having come from a strict military upbringing, well grounded, etc. before the draft.

  Must not have translated to the next level. i.e. bragging he could influence the coaching decision in year 2.

  "Emmanuel Ogbah, Myles Garrett, Danny Shelton, and Larry Ogunjobi all have one thing in common: they routinely make plays that players of their stature shouldn't make. Building a dominant defensive line is usually the first step towards building a dominant defense. With these four guys still under their rookie contracts, the Browns will have a chance to build a terrifying defense before they have to break the bank on their young, talented, and productive defensive linemen. The Moneyball strategy is starting to take form, Browns fans (and media) just need to be patient."

  God damn, that is crazy. Kid can spin it, that's for sure.

  Is this considered a positive attribute?

  I don’t think a coach praising their QB is a positive attribute. But Dabo didn’t just endorse him, he said those who don’t draft him are passing on michael Jordan. That’s pretty high praise and obviously the browns ignored that to be able to draft another left guard in the 2nd round.

  I'm bored, and went back to the offseason thread last year. Some good stuff in there.

  And the Browns should tell them to fuck directly off.
  
  Yes, let's trade the pick to take a mid round DE instead of putting a top QB on our team to build for the future.
  
  The franchise is desperate for a QB and this is why. They continue to fuck around with a top pick instead of focusing on QB's.

  Case Keenum having a great 2017!

  Classy, lulz.

  Right before Matt Ryan won the MVP and was this close to winning the SB, LOL his next post he said he'd rather have Jay Cutler than Matt Ryan.

  My point was it was Dabo saying it.

  Brady Quinn anyone?

  I mean what's your point really? There are two top guys as of now, and neither has done "great". Watson sure hasn't done anything yet to separate himself, and multiple professional evaluators like Kizer's size and talent. Kelly could fuck him if he try's playing 2 qbs again though.

We are falling victim to being a Browns fan where everything is a disaster. This is a brand new regime. What farmer/Pettine/holmgren/heckert/banner did with all those picks have no bearing on this team now.
  
  I get it. We have needed a QB since 1999, but I'm just not desperate enough to give up a big trade like that for somebody like wentz or goff (especially wentz). This team also also has a shit ton of other needs. If we punt and get a top QB next year I won't QQ.

  Eek

  Any thoughts/expectations for Gordon on Sunday? I can see Kizer throwing a couple of ill advised picks into tight coverage, trying to force the ball to Gordon too much, ala Brian Hoyer.

  13 catches, 234 yds, 2 tds

  6 catches, 131 yards
  
  I really do think Gordon is that good, that he can take 3 years off and in his first game back go for 100+

  All reports I've heard from practice is that he looks "lights out" and in incredible shape. Has been catching one handed passes, etc like he hasn't missed a beat. The best part about this is that, with him on the field, it moves the other receivers to their rightful positions......Coleman to #2 and Britt to #3. Britt's should actually be "on the waiver wire" but I have no issue with him being a third option.

  And Peppers gets fined 24k for that hit last Sunday.

  I do too, but we could also be delusional lol. He hasn't played a real game in over two years? Regardless, I have enough confidence that in my fantasy league (where I need a win to make the playoffs) I picked up Gordon and started him. High risk move, that I think will pay off.

  I saw that, and this is a fucking disgrace. I am sure they are going to use Peppers' words against him too (Peppers owned up to the hit and didn't blame the refs if anyone needs a refresher) during his appeal. Peppers being a stand up/no excuse guy is going to cost him $24K. An expensive lesson for him to learn, but don't give Goodell anything next time that will indict him.

  Heard an interview with Peppers yesterday where he basically said "you're damned if you do, damned if you don't." If you hit high and connect helmet to helmet, it's a penalty and likely a fine. If you go low, you're looked at by your peers as a "dirty player." That's such a bang bang play where the player really can't adjust and target the one foot area that they are actually allowed to hit now.

  So peppers was fined more for his legal hit than this:

  Like I said, I actually can't wait to watch. Really intrigued to see what he does after being off for so long.

  If you are in the pipe dream of Manning as GM or whatever camp, I would think chances are less now that Tennessee's shit show continues with he firing of the AD.
