Unsympathetic

Each of the people who others would throw into that category, however, are the single most thin-skinned crybabies on the forum. 100% of them absolutely cannot handle being told they are wrong and to shut their piehole - with precisely the same vitriol and wild fact-free assertion that they attempt to claim as somehow their right. [This trait always fascinated me.. you're going to swing at someone and then get shocked when they swing back? That's not how any of this works..] As is expected from a person who crumbles when they're not in control, they don't defend their position with anything resembling objectivity - all of their "defense" is pure attack on the personality/grammar/wit of the person who has the temerity to respond. You know, like an @ hole. The reason they are trolls is that they do not advance knowledge/understanding/discussion in any way... they're just annoying. "Villain" would actually be an upgrade because a villain has a plan. These mongrels don't have a position.. they just want to find an excuse to type angry personal attacks. The forum is better for all of those accounts [Ghoolie, Shorts etc] being perma-banned. Also: Don't get caught up into the "But they have a single nugget of objective point!" notion.. No, they don't -- never did, never will. The appropriate comparison is to consider how a different forum member would act if they actually wanted to contribute. If hoorta sincerely wondered "Are OL all fat and easily replaceable?" the way he would move forward would be: Make a thread with the question as OP, sit back, and learn something as Tour and Tia and Mud and several others show why an OL of 5 Desmond Harrisons is a quick path to 1-15. But trolls don't... because the people doing the trolling PERSONALLY cannot stop themselves from continuing with the ad hominem attacks. [or you could watch a video of last season's cam newton showing that all cam's problems were the lack of time to step and point his front foot because of pressure up the middle which led to inaccuracy, nothing to do with "his shoulder"] Yes, the trolls are that bad - and yes, they deserve to get the banhammer.

I'm posting this here because I refuse to make another thread about it. Retrospective on Johnny - looks like it was published today with surprisingly good content.

Cards had a steaming pile at DL last season outside of Chandler Jones.. Wilks would have to get creative [and risky] to get any sort of pressure from them. They picked Nkemdiche in the first a couple years ago and he's such a bust they're probably going to release him this week.. They did pick zach allen from BC in this year's first, so they could have a competent DL this season, but last year's tape probably isn't the greatest way to evaluate Wilks. When your free-agency upgrade has a dad bod [45-year-old Terrell Suggs], you've got problems. Cards did get the Browns special teams gang back together .. Andy Lee and Zane Gonzalez.

Undiagnosed fairly severe personality disorder.. I'm neither angry nor shocked, I'm more sad for the rest of his family [Kellen Sr] who by all accounts are pretty decent folk.

Calloway had 7 drops last year and that doesn't count the plays he visibly quit on or didn't stick his hands out for. He is not ready to step into Landry's shoes.. Higgins however may actually have that capability due to his vastly better hands. Also, don't kid yourself -- Landry isn't "just" a possession receiver. If he's "just" anything, he's just a good wide receiver.

Forget it, Tour. He's rolling. Let's all look forward to TexasAg's strategery lectures on DB technique and the finer points of the 4-3 Over.

We have yet to resign our young 2xDL, 2xDB, QB, RB, TE.. this is why QB on a rookie contract is such an item and why I doubt this happens. As well I saw on one of the jags sites a prediction that Ramsey would be getting the tag for a couple seasons..

Good analysis of Mayfield - yes, he does have areas for improvement if he wants to be elite.

However he was only the 28th best TE in the league last season. Njoku is an NFL athlete but he has a ways to go before he's even the top in the division..

Silverback is Trent's nickname also.. Here's hoping we find a way to trade for him.. it'd help one of few holes.

Next locations PFF on Trent's good qualities Perhaps Browns knew about this when they released Desmond earlier today? Apparently Redskins medical staff didn't treat Trent's injury

Found an interesting analysis channel Ryan Fitzpatrick - has some good description of how the QB should be reading a play.. the guy played QB in HS.

1y/4M guaranteed, total value 10M if hits all bonuses Carolina now has only 8m for all rookies and UDFA.. not much. So the next shoe to fall will probably be Carolina cutting/trading Dontari Poe's 5.8M/3.3M hit over the next 2 seasons.

Looks like Kalis has the pole position to RG starter as of today One more link on Kalis Gotta love UDFA's who knuckle their way to a career.. One thing we can say about Kalis is that he won't cost much.

Although it would very much be nice if Corbett worked out and our run game went well.. Establishing the run really doesn't matter any more - Or does "established" happen after one carry?

Zeitler also allowed the lowest pressure per snap rate in the league for guards last season [bitonio #3 least].. this justifies all the FA OL good at passpro. Chubb last season had the most yards per snap after contact of any RB since PFF started charting.. and even if that stat reverts to the mean [One, nobody we plug in would be as good as Zeitler and Two, Chubb had a once-in-a-lifetime season last year] I won't be shocked if we don't appear to "run effectively" next season.

What's THIS? A PFF article showing how the Browns are stacked at four WR and the TE - aka all the playmaker positions?

Details of Shelton's resigning -- summary: 1 yr for the veteran minimum plus some small potential bonuses. 2019 Shelton is now your Jeopardy answer to the question "Who Replaced Ted Karras On The Pats Roster"

OL Fact Of The Day In the final 8 games of last season, Cleveland gave up 5 sacks.. by far the fewest in the league.

Anyone who knows more about NFL QB play.. Is this a legit video analysis of Jones?

Apparently all first-rounder Darron Lee was worth to new Jets GM Adam Gase was one sixth-round pick in next year's draft.

“So we must beware of a tyranny of opinion which tries to make only one side of a question the one which may be heard. Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” -Winston Churchill, the complete quote from the House of Commons in 1943 rather than the altered meme. All well and good to think someone's wrong. Un-American to think someone else doesn't have the right to reply - or to not be convinced by your brilliance.

One of our UDFA was PFF's #93 overall prospect for the draft, G Trevon Tate.. so our backup OL should finally be able to step in and give good minutes.

If that's chubby, how do you describe John "I Ain't An Athlete" Kruk?

I would not trade any 2020 picks for this guy. The 2020 draft will be one of the deepest in recent memory.. there will be a starter or two drafted in round 4 next year. Bucs clear McCoy's entire 13M salary off their books if they cut him before 6/1, which is probably what they'd do. The 13 is all base - no workout/roster/etc bonus, and none of it is guaranteed.
