damn...those 4 down backs are hard to come by. And I had such high hopes too, rushing, receiving, punting, and now you're telling me can't do it

Gotta kick it off the ground too, not every 4th down is a punt. The youngest St. Brown brother is training to do it, named Renaissance.

Dead wrong about Royce Freeman... Besides Barkley I see him being the 2nd best Rookie RB.

I can't believe people think Freeman's volume won't be there!? Royce could see about 200 carries and 25-30 receptions

Denver had the 8th most rushing attempts last season.

remember this please... it will be brought up good or bad down the road

speculation

So...

I'm not sold on Keenum honestly. Last year was a total anomaly for him in his career (and it honestly wasn't that amazing of a year statistically). Plus, he's going to a pretty different team than the one he played on last year. Also, Booker's rookie year was under a different coaching staff, so that's irrelevant.

If you want to hitch your wagon to a longshot, I guess you could do worse. However, it's a pretty big stretch to think he's going to come out and be some stud on a team with a bad offensive line, journeyman QB, and HC who is one of the best bets in the NFL to get fired during the season.

Nailed it.

Congratulations U also argued the Browns were playoff contenders and Haskins was a heisman front runner. Are you bumping those
Not much to argue about Haskins, he's put up a Heisman caliber season.

Browns have been extremely competitive in every game but two and has multiple apologies from the NFL for fucking them over. The Hue factor clearly overcame our talent, but thankfully he's gone. Probably a year away now.

No he hasn’t. And the browns are not playoff contenders. Period

Well he has, which is why he's still in the top 3-4 in odds to win it.

Browns are not contenders, you're right. It wouldn't have taken much to have them at 5-3/6-2 right now as opposed to 2-5-1, but clearly, as I said, the Hue/officiating/kicking effect have been too much to overcome. It is what it is.

Way to take your L in this actual conversation without changing the topic.

I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said “speculation” that was very wrong

@Across The Field you were right I was wrong... Only because of Lindsay though. He has been impressive
Neither of us saw that coming, that's for sure. I thought when they brought him in that he'd be a nice gadget guy but he's a legitimate starting RB in the league.

i was actually thinking about this thread over the weekend when I saw someone make a trade to acquire Rolls Royce in a dynasty league

i didn't think he had enough wiggle to be the passing down back, but as with the others, I did not see Lindsay being this good

LOL whoops. Looks like I was for sure right about 2/3, and the Browns have multiple ways to make the playoffs and it's December 10th.

I think that Barkley guy might turn out to be useful.
