Obviously a joke.

I said very clearly he will be on somebody’s roster next year.

While free agent QB Dwayne Haskins is unlikely to sign before the season, he is receiving interest from several teams, source said. One of those is the Carolina Panthers, but there are others intrigued by Haskins.

Yeah he improved from year one, but his improvement from 2 to 3 was incredible. That’s a little different than a top 3 QB lol. That’s the whole point, his transformation has been something we have never seen before.

Yeah, guys who had accuracy issues in college and then have those same issues during their first season in the NFL, don't typically suddenly start being really accurate.

But that's what Josh Allen has done.

lol

Told y'all somebody would convince themselves.

It's somewhat telling that he cleared waivers. Means there wasn't anyone so enamored with him that they had to make sure they got him. I believe that it also means that "The Football Team" is on the hook for the rest of the guaranteed part of his contract.

He'll likely get signed to a much smaller deal that he got as a 1st rounder, making him easy to release if he doesn't pan out.

Someone was always going to give him a chance on a non-guaranteed deal.

But he won’t last because he is terrible.

I already admitted, go back and look and I just said likely to still be one of the top QB’s but this has been a great year. I believe you and a ton of others said the same about Josh Allen.

I did...and even said so in the comment to which you replied. I was wrong about Allen.

 

[dtgold88]

you guys see 3 more Browns on the Covid list?

lol...not good.

i sendajo and karl joseph among them. I dont think we even have enough defensive backs at this point.

I think Joseph just close contact. Sendejo, practice squad player and a coach I have heard have the virus. all depends on the tracing.

 

[dtgold88]

Browns are just cursed, right? Steelers helped us out by winning and by resting some key players, but now Ward can be added to the others already out this week. And he has Covid so out next week if we win this week.

This is far from a gimme for Browns, especially if steeler skill guys (minus Ben) play.

Why do the football gods hate the Browns?

Oh well, if you guys get in, no one will be able to say you had an easy path.

wish I knew. How about this. If memory serves, we once had Belichick, Ozzie, Pioli, Dimitroff, savage and Saban to help make decisions in the draft and FA. They picked Tommy Vardell top 10. Antonio Langham another 1st rounder. Big money on andre Rison and Raymond Claibourne. And saved best for last....had Warren Sapp fall into their laps and instead of celebrating they were pissed they missed out on Kyle Brady so they traded down and took Craig Powell (not even a decent special teamer).

As you are probably aware, these guys all became geniuses after they left.

Fitzpatrick tests positive, Flores says no outbreak

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday's game as the Dolphins seek their first playoff berth since 2016.

I guess all the talk shows can quit talking about whether or not the Dolphins should be subbing Fitzpatrick in when Tua struggles. lol

Listen up boys, the guru sports better is talking...

100k on Alabama
100k on OSU

Easiest 200k bet you will ever make, or you can stay poor.

how much does Ohio State win by today?

 

[tlance]

how much does Ohio State win by today?

I am thinking they win by negative 17

lol I seriously think they win.

I think Clemson has too much. Fields can’t afford to make many mistakes today.

Dabo talking too much. His disrespect for Ohio State is wild at this point.

It is and I'm sure we use it as motivation, but not sure how much it matters in a game like this. Our defense worries me. Still very good but maybe lost too much from last season.

The real question is are the SEC fans ready yet with the "we didn't want to be there" excuse for either Auburn or UGA if they cannot come back and win? I guess the real, real question is why are people fans of a conference in the southeast? This was not directed at you FYI (in general).

No doubt about that last point. as to first point? They might, but played them to a standsill last year. I think we lost a lot on D and they are missing a number of key skill guys (WRs) from last year. Not so sure we lost a lot in quantity, but quality in Young and Okuda (as well as Fuller) who could be a big loss in a game like this.

does help we have our O-line in tact.

Do you think Ohio State’s team is as good as last year?

I think Clemson is. Maybe even better.
