    Business begins with Denzel Ward imho.. I'd like to trade a cannolo for a extra deadline week

    D.Ward draws Chase Claypool pre- deadline 

    Ja'marr Chase post-deadline.. (he's been crazy good)..

    I will note.. Greedy has been playing well.. but give the nod to Ward.. (but god please, just get both thru the season)

    I get your RB wear timeline... but Hunt is earning a fair deal he signed up for.. 

    Respect your take, my friend, but disagree...

     

     

  2. And I often put the em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-lab-BLE. Sue me... ;)

     

    Just starting my Italian lessons... hoping to go to Sicily this summer. Would be my first time there... freakin love Italy an hear Sicily is even more laid back... at least so long as one minds his own business.

     

    Bout time I learned the language...

    He would have to pay taxes ..huge taxes

    Was the dude's income under $80k? If yes, no cap gain tax... surprised me as well.

    I guess you did hear about the deficit-busting, 2020 tax cut for the middle class? Wait.... that was the Corporate giveaway and the elimination of the estate tax. So the dude could have held onto the ball for life... no tax. Of course hold an asset 12 months and now you are in a long-term hold staus and the tax bite is a mere 15%.

     

    LMAO....

    I read the article and there is some of the stupid shit I been seeing,  like trading Hunt for a corner or some shit. Kareem is another one of those players that plays violent and leaves it out on the field. I never heard about him being unhappy with his role on the team so why would you trade him. If fact, I think he enjoys being back home since he is from Elyria. 

    If you are trying to change the culture, you don't trade your best players who actually like being here🙄😏

    Sorry Spain, but great trade there for us.... hell... I'd throw in Ward just to seal it. At 6'1, 198 Howard has a shot at playing a full season.

    Hunt? Once great.... and gave it his all to date this season... and got hurt in the process. Dude was a baller, but now he is in his 6th year of a job where the average life is... 2.6 years.

    Doesn't help that he runs like a much bigger man to boot. Admirable? Sure, but... career shortening.

    Can't get sentimental... Sancho... ;) , but say hello to Dulcinea for me.

     

    I did not know the league average was so low across all positions....

    1) Your position(s) of needed upgrade ?

    2) Who's on your Browns roster Trading block ?

    3) Any Names/contracts you would target via trade ?

    4) Does Mack Wilson really get Traded ?... Yes   or     No 

    First off one has to decide if you are a "seller" or a "buyer". With no SB in sight that I can see, I am a seller... not a "tear it all down" seller, but a seller.

    Combine that with my evolving RPO/ZBS "theory(?)" and I get...

    1. DT/ 2022 Draft/LB
    2. Conklin still has decent value, but not living up to contract. Possibly Ward...
    3. Nope... I'm selling... not renting soon to be UFAs.

    This is a LOADED roster

    On paper...

    Issue I continue to see is the cap impossibility of keeping a loaded roster together. Have I mentioned that here recently? ;)

    Still love Baker's fire, his leadership, but his escapability is a concern. Give me a Jackson, Mahomes or even a Murray tad small, but elusive as hell for a SB run when they can survive a season.

     

    Should have seen this trend coming given the successes of Dak and Wilson. Imma bet DePo did.... but football-Guy Dorsey? Nope.

    Plenty of course-changing QBs in this upcoming draft. No instant turnaround types, but I see solid building-block developers.

     

    The Big Bens and Wentzes of the world are the true dinosaurs... that's why MG goes after 'em. :) Only the pocket guys with the fastest minds and quickest releases need apply for the old way. I only know of one of those... Rodgers. And even he seems resolved to cap-limit induced, time passing him by now.

    Anybody see the Falcons' kicker on the GW FG?

    Yep, took his helmet off right in the middle of the field, NO PENALTY😬

    So that proves my point above...Rudd remains the only player ever to be penalized for it.

    Well... when Rudd did it the game was not over.... so there's that.

    And as you said above "game-wining" which carries alon with it "game over".

     

    Don't you hate it, Bob, when facts get in the way?

    Pretty common 'round here albeit in another section... the section 8 section to be precise. :D

    was it johnny podres..

    My head is whispering Don Newcomb.... I'll check.123 starts in the top 3 does not leave much. 154 game seasons back then IIRC. Podres got 22, but at lrast his name appears.... so points to you

    No Newcomb... but Osteen, not an unfamiliar name, with 287 IP .in 40 starts looks to have been the #4.

  10. Never underestimate the power of anticipation in a QB.

     

    Case developed it after his very structured U OF H years (5 of them setting a ton of records in the process) playing behind Matt Schaub in HOU under Gary Kubiak... another such QB and former Ag.

    When you have an average arm, it is what you have to do.

    He's a great #2. Will win you the odd game here as he just did stepping in, but not gonna take you to the end of the rainbow... just a step closer. Kinda a cheaper Kurt Cousins

    The Browns had a chance to get a Rodgers , Russ, and a Stafford but the “Coffee Fetcher” picked the little one that can’t instead of Josh Allen . Did someone say Baker Mayfield??🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Coffee Fetcher? Is that code for "football guy?" Same guy who brought OBJ to us?

    ....because it misconstrues the situation to the benefit of the people who are in fact responsible.

    Well reasoned as usual, Unsym...

    All too aware of organizational reality distortions  that form in pursuit of the Almighty $$$ and lead to organiational behaviors ranging from merely poor to criminal.

    As in every industry, bosses do not care one iota about worker safety -->

    Sadly true or very close to it (I might allow for one iota).. but they are very concerned about their liabilty after the fact.

     

    That said.... the continued debate is really not in the spirit of the thread, so I'm out.

    My sympathies to any and all feeling a loss here.
