LogicIsForSquares Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yeah unfortunately I don’t know if the Browns know what to do with those high value picks. It is like they go on a date with a 10, get scared, and by the end of the night they just got to hold a door open for her. Squandered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll is in response to the yearly debate the erupts among fans of long losing teams. And to further clarify, my polls are made 1. Because I am curious 2. To show what the people here really think, not just the trolls or the people who post the most, as sometimes a few voices drown out the rest For example, I've been seeing people here but also elsewhere saying "just go for another #1" and they tend to be defeatist, like, it doesn't matter anyway. But so far, 5 to 1 in this poll say they that as this week they want to see wins. Now, fans of teams that struggle for years always include those who say "tank and get a high draft pick". It's nothing to do with just the Browns, so the poll doesn't appear biased as it's not uncommon to have that debate. As a counter example, some people want to have the Browns fans boycott in mass protest by avoiding the games and merchandise while others want to see the team removed from the NFL. So I pointed out in other threads that a realistic possibility is another Browns team leaving Cleveland. To see if they really hate this version of the Browns that much or are just blowing off steam and griping. And some here actually did basically say 'sure, let 'em go' or 'whatever who cares'. The reason I didn't make *that* question a poll is because I didn't want to give the impression I am pushing/favoring that option. But I admit I really am curious what the results would be so making that poll is very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 If we get that number one pick we can make sure to trade it for lots more cripples, at least we could make up for lost advertising Revenue with the Cleveland Clinic or University Hospitals. If I truly believed Sam Darnold was the guy and I thought Saucy had the brains to take him I would tank. If I thought they were going to ride DeShone Kizer win or lose might as well win a couple games. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll is in response to the yearly debate the erupts among fans of long losing teams. Then I apple-a-gize... give the podcast I posted in its own thread a listen. You can skip the first 3 minutes and change. That said, I still cannot participate in your post because I see it as a false choice. Hue's job is to win with what he has. You'll never see him or any HC worth his salt doing otherwise. However, he with the FO knew what they were getting into before the preseason. What they did not know is that both the two QBs they tried to hand the job to would botch the hand-off. Once they went to the rookie they knew the hill got a lot steeper. But they have a plan which has as its worst outcome that they are QB hunting Day One come the 2018 NFL Draft. I will add this... for my part if we are not in playoff contention, and we were never in playoff contention this year, then the win total is irrelevant. Would I like us to look better in losing than we have? Yes... I would find more solace in that, but I can never under any circumstance root for us to lose. Well... maybe one circumstance... if it gave us a more favorable match up going into the playoffs. However, I'll likely forget I wrote this before that circumstance has a chance to materialize.

Flyin J Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Whats funny is with 2-4 wins we may end up with the first pick anyways. Its embarrassing this conversation is even happening (for the second season in a row). We keep passing on QB's like were too good for them, meanwhile trying to find cheap gems, were constantly digging and finding nothing but Sheet, all the while giving some pretty nice pieces to better teams for positions deeper in the hole.

True.... in baseball you have a farm system. The NFL is different. We haven't had a franchise QB since Tim Couch, and he wasn't a good one.

Yes, the NFL farm system is the NCAA and with special rules like you can not leave for the NFL after your freshman year (M.Clarett) which is unique, all other sports you can go after high school. The NFL would never want the burdensome task and expenses of a farm system. The last franchise QB might have been from the U, Testaverde or Bernie Kosar.

Well in basketball they have to wait one year, and the developmental league is on the way.
