NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Do they have the picks to add to Goff in a trade package?

I know they traded a lot to get Ramsey.

They don't have their 1st, 4th, or 5th this year or the 4th next year. So, probably not lol.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah, other than not being able to block anyone and not having anyone who can catch, the Jets offense was pretty good. lol

What also hurt him was that Gase was supposed to be some kind of "quarterback whisperer" and he actually caused him to regress. I think it was Tannehill who became a Pro Bowl QB after Gase left.

The Jets WRs were injured quite a bit (as was Darnold). Crowder is a great slot receiver, Mims is a raw rookie but has a lot of upside, and Perriman had a resurgence the year prior but missed a lot of time this year and is now a free agent. They definitely need to add a true #1 (or draft one), but Crowder and Mims should be a solid base. It will be tough to get a top free agent WR without a better situation at QB, so they are likely to hit that in the draft or via trade. Top guys on the FA market are Golladay, Godwin, JuJu, Allen Robinson, Marvin Jones and Corey Davis IMO. Antonio Brown is out there, but who knows what to make of him at this point (and he clearly isn't going to the Jets). Some sleepers out there too, like Keelan Cole, Kendrick Bourne, Curtis Samuel, etc. Fuller is a tough call with his injury history, as is AC Green.

I forgot to add the teams that have no way of trading for Watson bc they are too far over the cap/would be pretty unrealistic...

Saints
Eagles
Steelers

eliminating the Colts -same division

I think the Colts are perfect for Stafford.

There are only 6-7 teams that shouldn't be interested.....

Mayfield had a good season but he's been up and down since he's been with the Browns.

You can rule out a few teams just because of how all this has gone down I’m sure.

 

[shopson67]

More than 6-7 and talking about teams that are locked in with this QB next year. Mayfield was a top 10-12 QB last year, he isn’t going anywhere. The Browns have other needs to address

GB - Rodgers
TB - Brady (pretty sure he said he wasn’t retiring)
Seattle - Wilson
KC - Mahomes
Buffalo - Allen
BAL - Lamar
CLE - Mayfield
Zona - Kyler
LAC - Herbert
Cincy - Burrow
TEN - Tannehill
JAX - Lawrence (will throw them in there since they have the #1)

If Rodgers wants out? Still a bit of a tough sell given Watson's complaints with the Texans. Similar reasons for ARod's frustration really.

 

[shopson67]

hes had 4 head coaches and 4 offensive systems. lol.

next year will be the first year he is in the same offense and in the same system. He came to a team that was 1-15, and 0-16 before he got there.

the 2nd half of the season his QBR was like #5 in the NFL. He beat the Pittsburgh Steelers twice in the same season!!!

trust me- no one but Baker Mayfield is going to be the starting QB for the Browns for a VERY long time unless he is injured.

All of those are impressive except for the Steelers bit. They really full all over themselves down the stretch.

They should be trying to get Stafford then.....he's not a bad plan B. And better than Goff.

What is it with these press conferences? LOL.

It sounds like he wants to stay but who knows with rumors. Sounds like he wants his contract restructured

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Houston GM doesn't sound like he wants to trade him......LOL.

True but I feel like this is another situation of what is he supposed to say. Remember Rockets management saying he is a Rocket and we don’t want to trade him. Idk apparently he hasn’t talked to management, all it takes is one conversation to turn the tables around and him being on the trade market

Maybe, they better not be playing hardball....

might not be impressive to a fan outside of Cleveland- but inside of Cleveland thats all some people care about. Like tOSU beating That Team Up North.

Why?

@dtgold88 @Shanemansj13

The Athletic published their top 100 MLB prospects.

Tribe has 6 in the top 100.

This is the best Cleveland farm system in a long a time. Hernandez and Rosario were decent pickups too. I am cautiously optimistic right now.

I expect them to be fairly decent this year--- maybe more so if the young starting pitching stays consistent throughout the year. I really dont have much faith in Mercado---- tbh i actually like Zimmer more and think he might be able to finally put it together.

they really should try and extend Bieber and Jose. Give the fans something. If they could do that---- and then let this team develop- i think there will only be a year or maybe 2 where they fall off a little bit. There are a lot of reinforcements in the pipeline.

Yep they seem to always build up the farm system well then have a great division run...just not enough to win it all. The 3-1 is a real stinger, although their strategy seems to be pretty goof considering they don’t go in all tank mode. Hard to do much with a cheap ass owner. Cmon Gilbert buy the Indians!! Lol

According to some his pockets are bottomless...
