I mean, THIS regime has drafted all of 1 QB (in round 5) and other QBs they have had not named Watson have played at or above expectations......but sure.

Or are you blaming them for picks they didn't make, which is as absurd as crediting them for the career of Otto Graham, Plum, Kosar, etc?
I think I remember reading somewhere that the only statistic that can basically positively correlate a QB having success from college to the NFL is amount of college games played.

I was not a fan of the Gabriel pick- but clearly this was a guy Stefanski himself liked and wanted. Stefanski did a great job with guys like Brissett, Flacco, Winston to a certain extent, Mayfield to a certain extent....hes never had a guy he really liked himself.....ill give Stefanski some rope on this one.


I think the season hinges on how healthy the O-line stays. The O-line has the potential to be really really good- but its pretty damn old. Now- o-lineman generally have some of the longest careers of nfl players, but last year it was just a mess

they are going t ogo back to the zone blocking scheme this year- the moron o coordinatior they hired last year just fucked them in so many ways - and the o-line coach was a joke- he was fired and before he was fired he was basically demoted and Vrabel was running it by the end of the season

with the fresh RB's, going back to Callahan's scheme, and starting the year healthy- the O-line has potential to be good- but sadly because of age the injury risk is real.

Next years’ draft will be rebuilding the line, draft a wr (at least one) and hopefully it isn’t another qb draft but certainly could be. Interested to see how guys like Zinter, Dawand and the Ohio St progress this season or learn under the veteran OL

for some odd reason I see Drew Allar as the Browns #1 pick next year...just a feeling...I dont think Manning is coming out- and even if he does- i dont see the Browns drafting in the top 4--- and unless a team with a QB in hand thats really good is at #1- no one is trading that pick if Manning does come out.

my thoughts on the Browns-

first- Stefanski is a really good coach and with a decent QB will be able to put up some points and the o-line and running game should be a lot better.

the defense has 2 of the best players in the league at premium positions - Garrett and Ward. The defense wont be bad.

I see them winning 5-7 games- and drafting somewhere around 6 to 10.

Not that I ever wish injury on someone, but Trevor Lawrence has been injury prone- and if he gets hurt things could come apart in JVille.....


now if they have injuries, and go with the rooks at QB and the o-line gets hurt and Myles gets hurt- they def. could draft top 3 or #1...

@Shanemansj13 @dtgold88

I was a little nervous when Gimenez had such a hot start for Toronto- but after like the first week and a half he has been absolute dog shit from the plate...hes down to .177........not sure what happened to this guy.

that could go down as an amazing trade- getting off that contract- bringing in Ortiz and a couple decent pitching prospects that actually have ceilings.

He did the same thing last year.

The really good looking ones should only wear a goofy hat.
Good looking girls never look better than when they are wearing a baseball cap, and nothing else.

It will depend how Arch performs…my guess. No thanks on Allar lol

Allar is such a browns pick

But he has high experience and the big arm you need there

Considering he never transferred out of Texas it strikes me as they are patient and know he needs reps

yah it doesnt thrill me either- its just a funny feeling I have...well see. Big arm, lot of experience....Penn State's passing game is just atrocious though so that is obviously a red flag...not sure how much is Allar and how much is the program.
