    Yep  time to hang em up

    Congrats!!   As a past work-mate once said to me, the trick is making it to retirement.   Sadly, he didn't.   Nor did many of my closest friends.   -  I retired this past January.  The 8th was my last day.  Since then I've done many projects around the house that I wouldn't have dreamed of because...I didn't have the time.   :)   

    Again, congrats!  And let's have a long and happy retirement!

  9. Staying Put (and Outdoors) or Dome Sweet Dome in the 'Burbs?

    I think that more players would be happier to come to Cleveland if they knew that they wouldn't have to be playing outside in the $hitty Cleveland winter-type weather.  

    Does Cleveland ever want to host a super bowl?   Without a dome they aren't getting one.  (Cleveland is NOT New York)

    And just think, if / when the team gets really bad again, you'll be able to sell your late season tickets for more money.  :)  

    - Never forget, the New Orleans domed Saints came to Cleveland a couple of Decembers ago with a crippled offense and had to run the wild cat quite often...in one of the ten coldest games ever....and beat us because the ball slid right through the frozen hands of Njoku and Peoples-Jones in the end zone.  And ANOTHER TD didn't happen because as Njoku was about to catch the TD pass he slipped on the frozen field and fell on his ass.   $hitty weather is not a home field advantage.

    Look, I understand that a mobile QB is advantages over a non mobile QB (all else being equal).  I had to watch John Elway keep us out of 3 super bowls.  But Elway (& Steve Young) ran as a last resort.  We've got a guy at QB who thinks he's Nick Chubb.  He's gonna lower his shoulder and take a guy on and jump up and signal first down.  And HE'S got something that Elway & Young didn't have, the ability to slide...and when you do that NOBODY CAN TOUCH YOU.  

    It just pisses the bageezuz out of me that our Quarter of a Billion dollar, 3 first round picks, most important person of the organization, Starting QB...gets himself hurt and out for the season because he's running around with the ball.  

    Now, Paul Depodesta would tell me, "But it's THAT athleticism that makes him WORTH the money and draft picks."  To which I would tell Depo, "Then get me a backup QB that can lead us to a super bowl win because we're built to win now and I can't win a super bowl with your Athletic QB on injured reserve."

    You like drop back passers, guys who stay in the pocket because you think that makes them safer...

    David Carr, Tim Couch and Bernie Kosar all fit that description. 

    Sure, drop back passers get hurt too.  Brady missed a season, Rogers missed last season.  Llamar Jackson missed a lot of a season by getting hurt while in the pocket...not running.  But to me, having your QB running around....designing QB runs, etc....is adding a new level of injury danger to your most important guy in the organization.  And there's always the mental / emotional aspect of the defense's mindset when a QB is running around embarrassing them.  It makes the big fat guys want to smash the QB into pieces all the more.   And let's face it, Watson is no big, burly guy.  We had to play most of last season without him because he ran and took on tacklers.

    non-running quarterbacks.

    Flacco is basically nothing like Watson.  This is a monkey wrench for the offense when the backup needs to play.  

    Me, I prefer the drop back passer...like Flacco or Tom Brady.  The OLine knows where the QB will be.  They know he'll only run when time has completely run out and there is no other alternative.  I don't like my most important and most expensive player on my football team running around making big fat guys' eyes light up as they're looking for an angle to knock the guy into the blue tent.  But that's just me.

    Alright Flugs, Gumby and anyone else who would like to play along...

    If the Browns had a first round pick, they would have the #23 overall pick. Post three guys you'd like who would probably be available. 

    Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina      or     Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas      or      Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State.

    The Browns have re-signed kicker Cade York, I'm guessing with the idea of putting him back on the Practice Squad?

    Here's what we do...we keep him on the 53 but don't ever use him (maybe for kickoffs)...and when a rival loses a kicker to injury, we put him on the PS.

     I see the potential, but I also see the downside. 

    Well, one downside is the amount of money he got....while we have Cooper, who was one of the cornerstone pillars that our '23 playoff run team stood upon.  But, it's what FA is.  Mostly, the better FA players will cost you $ to entice to come to your team.  Especially if the team is Cleveland...a place with $hitty winter weather (for you and your family) and you're going to have to play outside in it.  

    That said, it's good that Berry is showing his concern for the WR position.  It's just so very important to have a good passing attack in the NFL.
