Setting aside that Dillon Gabriel is a rookie. Does his skill/set make you think he’d be the next Burrows, or Herbert with the Chargers? Or Drake Maye? He’ll be a solid backup to the QB we draft next spring.
It’s 2025, not 1975, and 5’9 QBs can’t play in the national football league.
We also need to upgrade the OL, big-time, and the WR position.
The Jags lost today so that was a bright spot.

Re: Trump threatens to cut funds if ‘communist’ Mamdani wins mayoral election

I don't know what funds could be withheld. I am sure there are some.
I can withhold my money. I avoid blue states, or at minimum blue cities with the exception of Cleveland, for obvious reasons. Even then, I don't spend any real money in Cleveland. It goes to the Burbs. I won't spend any of my money there. If I travel and have to cross in to one of those states, I do my best to fill up before I enter the state so I don't have to spend any money on gas. I might buy a burger of something.
I have been doing this for 3-4 years now.
My feeling is NYC is going to pay a big price for electing a communist.
My money, my choice.

Re: Coffee...what do you drink?

I asked about espresso makers here a few years ago. My wife got a 50% of code for online purchase of a breville. We splurged and got a $1000 machine for $500. I highly recommend splurging and getting a machine that grinds whole beans and has ability to steam milk. I was looking at Phillips LatteGo 3300 before my wife got the discount. look around find a good one in your price range. If you enjoy good coffee every day you deserve it! It is a little more expensive to buy fresh whole beans. I think it is well worth it. If you do daily starbucks absolutely stop and get a machine!

Re: Browns Losing Culture

The Browns plunge into analytics started in 2016 not 2020 so you might try reflecting upon the bigger picture. Tell us what analytics did for the Browns starting at the "beginning", in 2016.
The Browns record since allowing analytics to guide the Browns franchise...
...56 W...99 L....1T.....The Browns record since/including 2016 to today.
Depo took a better job. He may be gone, but his systems are in place and will continue to be used by the people he trained. Analytics isn't going anywhere.

You can begin to see what the Cav's will look like this year.
Kenny still has to figure out rotations but the new guys are starting to fit in.
The staring five looks really good:
Allen, Mobley, Hunter, Mitchell, Garland.
Merrill, Strus, Ball, Nance, Wade, Tyson will be the rotation pieces.
The Cavs have the potential to win it all.

Re: Paul DePodesta Leaving the Browns

Lol you don't need to tell me who Dave is. Hmmmm - are YOU Dave 🤣 My issue has always been focused elsewhere. Depo is clearly an incredibly smart guy - I doubt very much if he is the root cause of any of the current issues the Browns organization faces. He will *probably* be replaced by some other Analysist. It did strike me that Baseball, while a team sport, is also more individual in nature. It's pitcher vs hitter - errors and fielding ability impact the outcome in a more minor way than a football play. Blocking, route running, defensive schemes, talent match up at every single position on the field. . . . that's not saying Analitics isn't important in the NFL. It is - every team uses. I just think it is probably more useful in baseball, or more specific/exact?

Re: college quarterback prospects

Todd McShay heard that Moore will return to Oregon?
You don't till it is verified.
Mendoza looks good.
Simpson also looks the part.
I don't see the Browns not drafting a quarterback. It would have to be unusual circumstances like the draft order working against them and someone else taking the guy they had zeroed in on.
Or, it would take something off the charts like Gabriel or Sanders going bonkers for the rest of this season. That is highly unlikely.
There is a long way to go before the draft lots can change.

I misread what you wrote (I read too quickly and thought you weren't counting Baker or Watson).
Regardless, I find the whole exercise kind of silly.
Baker wasn't selected by them and wasn't fitting well with KS system. I believe you were in the minority of not wanting to get rid of Baker... so kudos to you for that. That said, Baker balling out elsewhere will be a black mark on this regime.
I do believe that Watson was forced by Haslam (I've explained this several times). I never did understand how KS would want to move on from Baker due to poor fit within the system to Watson (who, at his best, is an even poorer fit within the scheme). Maybe it was assumed that Watson would just work in any system since he was just that good. The rest of the QBs we've had in here have been pulled from the FA scrap heap. At times, the play we've gotten from this group has been surprisingly good... I wish we could've brought Jacoby Brissett back.

So you expect a third round rookie to be starting out at that same level? If he were at that stage of development he wouldn't have been on the draft board in round 3. Context is important here.

Re: WRs in 2026

There are a lot of guys who are the size of receivers.
College teams all have a bunch of receivers on the team.
IMO good scouting should be able to find receivers in every round. That does not mean you will find HOF'ers.
It means take a lot of shots and some will score.
We need a quarterback badly. Like since forever.
There are a number of promising guys in this draft. Moore, Simpson, Mendoza standout but there are others as well. We have to find our guy.
We must get this right. The Browns must study this class until your eyes bleed.
If we do not find our guys in this draft we never will.
