Week 2 NFL thread

A) The only QB that might be eligible I would consider taking is Brett Hundley. Something about how he plays, I think he's gonna be a very good player. I haven't seen Bridgewater, so I can't say much about him.

 

The Browns are a joke.

The Steelers suck big hairy balls this season. The Ravens are decent, but not the team they were last year or in past seasons, and Cincy is decent. If the Browns could win a division, this is the year.

And they trade their RB.

Shit, they don't even know how good they could be with Josh Gordon coming back this week after missing the first two.

 

I am wondering if they had a big blowup with Richardson or his people. There has to be something more to it.

 

Guy in the office said the Browns would use the pick to take Manziel.

I will tell you one guy who has moved up whatever draft board I have: Blake Bortles down at UCF. He has game.

 

This...
I don't quite follow... I don't think the Colts going to be in the No. 1 draft choice sweepstakes this year. They'll likely be a mid-to-high teens picks.
And Browns, they sure as hell have a shot at No. 1 keeping Richardson.

For Cleveland fans' sake, I hope the Browns know something the rest of world doesn't.

As a Steeler fan, if they called the Rooneys and offered them this deal I would hope they would have jumped on it.

 

Maybe the Browns are trying to do their part for the "Everybody buy Indians tickets!" movement.

 

If I could go back in time, I'd abort the Browns' return to Cleveland. Fuck this franchise. I'd rather just have the memory of a team I once loved to root for than this.

They held off on clearing the deck until the middle of the season because they couldn't sustain the double PR whammy of an owner in legal trouble AND a rebuild. So they feigned respectability, sold their season tickets and then abandoned ship two games in. This is Marlins-esque.

Mike Lombardi has a part in making these picks. Mike Lombardi. This won't end well.

 

Richardson is hurt and has already bitched publicly, twice, about playing time. I think the Browns took the, "If you want to bitch and be taken seriously, try averaging more then 3.5 per" outlook and got rid of him while they could get a decent return.

I have watched every one of Richardson's professional games and, truthfully, he has no burst at all. Taking him third overall in 2012 was a huge mistake, but you can't put that on this regime. And the Colts aren't exactly looking like world-beaters.

Cleveland has seven picks in the first four rounds next year...that gives them flexibility to move up if they want or to stand pat and add seven solid players if they scout well. Besides, there is not much Trent Richardson has done this season (or last) that a Willis McGahee can't do.

Let's face facts...the Browns weren't going anywhere this season. They see what they have in Hoyer and add a piece that can be used to get their franchise qb if needed. I'm actually surprised Indy gave up as much as it did.

 

The "let's make sure we really suck" theory of sports team rebuilding has a mixed record by the most charitable definition of the adjective and then some. If the guy's hurt and they know it, OK. But won't he have to pass a Colts physical for the trade to be consummated? As far as the Colts go, what's trading a lower first rounder for a higher one cost?

 

How many backs in the league would fetch a first rounder right now?

 

Steelers should be on line one asking about Gordon and Thomas.

 

Martin, Peterson, Bernard, Spiller, McCoy and I would trade a second in a heartbeat for Christine Michael.
