It seems that the Chargers got the offset language, but Bosa got the upfront bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 We have had our share of assholes on the Browns, behaviorily. Honestly, as far as Browns players are concerned, I am only concerned that they play well. The better they play, the less of an asshole they are, fair to say? Sure but it really depends on how much and what kind of an asshole. Anyway he sign his deal and if I was a Chargers fan expect him to play up to it and be pissed off he didn't. Like my boy Brady Quinn. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS If Bosa has a Brady Quinn like career, then 99.99999% of us don't know shit about football. Though to be fair....but hopefully not prescient, Bosa's father was the #16 overall pick in the draft in 1987.....and was really a bust (played only 3 below mediocre years). And his uncle is Eric Kumerow....from OSU....also the #16 overall pick in the draft in the 90s......also a bust. So, the family tradition is to be drafted high and play poorly. I don't think that will happen with Bosa.....but I wouldn't discount it. (If he had been drafted by the Browns his busting out would have likely been a certainty.)

I think you're severely overestimating the percentage of people who believe Bosa will be worth the #3 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think you're severely overestimating the percentage of people who believe Bosa will be worth the #3 pick. You mean if he had gone back into the draft....where would he have landed next year? We don't have to find out. Besides....the answer to who thinks Bosa is worthy of being the #3 pick. Everyone....because he WAS the #3 pick. The question is not if he is worthy of the pick.....the question is will he live up to that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 For some reason the term "hedge fund" springs to mind. Nothing is for certain until it happens. So, check this out: here is the list of the #3 overall picks from 2005 to 2015. Tell me which ones you think lived up to the pick and which ones didn't: 2005 Braylon Edwards 2006 Vince Young 2007 Joe Thomas 2008 Matt Ryan 2009 Tyson Jackson 2010 Gerald McCoy 2011 Marcell Dareus 2012 Trent Richardson 2013 Dion Jordan 2014 Blake Bortles 2015 Dante Fowler.

The Gipper Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wait... What??? Simple.....all pundits/evaluators say that Bosa had the talent and the college record that warranted him being taken #3 overall. But then, so, apparently did all those guys that I listed above that were taken with the #3 pick. But how many of them have produced up to that projected level I would say fewer than half. Certainly, since the Browns had like 3 of those 10 choices it didn't work out for them 2 out of 3 times. Braylon...no. JT...yes. TR....no. But no one knew that going in. We have to wait like 5 years to determine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bosa is ordinary Not in college he wasnt. And people who watched his first couple practices with the chargers say physically he's ready. So that means young joey didnt sit at home listening to his techno. Dude was out preparing so he's hit the ground running. Theres a maturity there. Other guys in that situation partied during their time off and it took longer to get them up. Kids the real deal.

Clevfan4life Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Based on college performance bosa coyld have gone #1 easily. Doesnt mean he cant flame out but what else fo we have to go on? Dude was reknowned for working on his skills as much as the physical preperation in the weight room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 He ain't ready. He might be in great shape but he isn't in football shape. But of just about anyone out there, he will get ready in about as short a time as anyone. He's got a game tonight, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a game tonight, no?Remember too daddy was a first round draft pick so he knows what's at stake and the good blood lines PLUS he played at the OSU so he's no stranger to big time football. Question is between the ears and knocking the rust off. (and hope he's no Maronivich or Leaf and just doesn't want to do it, it happens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 lol... interesting take... Why would they not play him otherwise? Afraid he will get hurt before the season's first real game? That would usually be the case with a starter. I guess they must not want him to get the rust off, or get some reps in in their system. Why else would they not give him a tune up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's a rookie yet the only first rounder not signed , geezzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
