NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[dtgold88]

can't disagree. in fact i'd say o-line and rb are TWO spots where the Browns have an advantage...

KC no slouch there, but I'd say DE and perhaps CB as well. I like Baker a lot, but KC has the edge at the most important position (and TE, of course).

 

[dtgold88]

the boy has something of a...reputation... for making predictions and hiding when he's wrong...

just sayin'...

Maybe, but cannot say I recall him shying away from a bet if needed to back what he has said. Not really sure in this instance he's really said the Browns will win, only we certainly could.

Really, the only outcome that would surprise me is a Browns blowout. A close game either way would not be a surprise nor would a KC blowout. well, a 34-3 pasting like we had to open the last season might be a surprise, but a 2-3 TD loss wouldn't shock me.

sorry. woulda responded to this post earlier if i wasn't driving. apologies for that. as far as DE we'll see now that Chris Jones has been moved to that position. as far as the biggest advantage on our side it's Mahomes, easily. not dissing Baker but he's not elite imo, though he IS good. and teams have won Superbowls with less than elite QB's...

well, it's clear you've missed his past antics. no matter...

my sig line kinda says it, though. i have no respect for a coward. unfortunately, the internet breeds the s.o.b.'s...

I cannot think of the other Chief DE (and too lazy to look) but thinking Garrett and Clowney trump whoever it is and Jones. Interior might be another story as could argue that is the Browns biggest ?

I don't think Baker is elite either, but I do think he has a chance to move into the top 5. Once they had this O figured out no QB not named Mahomes was better than him last year (week 8 on) per PFF. Cannot wait to see what the kid can do finally playing in the same system for a 2nd straight year.

Frank Clark is the other DE. can get his share of sacks when he decides he actually wants to play...

I can think of 2 or 3 off the top of my head that won Super Bowls and aren't as good as Baker.

Flacco comes to mind. remember the contract he got after that, then faded away...?

Yep, also Trent Dilfer

 

[bksballer89]

ok. I feel like they will probably show up and give it a go either way.

Weird. I was thinking they plane may not even leave Cleveland

too much of a bitch to bet fake money?

I’ve never bet Vcash on here before. Who’s down?

hmmm, maybe an off topic NFL pick 'em thread...?

that might be fun...

 

[Black Adam]

I'd add Brad Johnson and Foles.

I disagree. I think the Browns may be the better team on the line of scrimmage. When you can win in the trenches you always have a better than average chance.

The Chiefs are almost surely going to be the better team.

But the Browns match up very well with the Chiefs.

Run the ball well, control the clock, and pressure Mahomes and you can get them.

Browns do all 3 as well as anybody.

There are plenty more too.

I do think Brad Johnson was underrated though. Very solid QB. Not a star, but always gave his team a chance to win.
