Re: Media and Shedeur

Man, where to start. I guess a tip of the hat to you, Bone. Nice introspective discussion. Besides, you had me at "Skip Clueless". 🤣
I'll be blunt, but probably not brief.
But first, the media... simple... *%^ the media. Since Stefanski set foot in Berea, he's been adamant about "the noise" and tuning it out.... on every level.
The game-show-style beginning of Shedeur's career jumped right on stage with the draft day(s) saga. I'm sure a long lecture about "noise" (especially since the brass had no idea how when Deion may appear from behind Door #3), took place from the first time his a$$ sat in the seat.
From that point, in my eyes, Shedeur has humbled himself and become a student... not just to the game, but to life in the NFL. At least that's the way it appears on the surface.
This says nothing to his growth on the field, but his growth as a young man trying to navigate what appeared as a shattered "destiny"... and craft it into a puncher's chance. That has been a refreshing surprise.
And that $h*t happened fast. Dude woke up and realized, not only was he not the "chosen one", but teams were also about to pass on him a half-dozen times each. He didn't cry to daddy or throw a hissy-fit to the media. In the face of that media screaming racist, conspiracy, blah,-blah-[censored], he has never paid a bit of attention to that (at least not out loud). That demeanor continued while they were all screaming that he should be starting.
But let's be real -- Shannon Sharpe just said Shedeur should refuse to start the rest of the season. Implying that the Browns are sabotaging his career by starting him against such good teams at the back end of this schedule. Cannot make this stuff up. I hope, if crap like that actually makes it to Shedeur's ear-hole, a hearty laugh is at the back end.
Kudos to Shedeur, despite some harmless immaturities, he's put his nose down and has been humble to the grind; all red flags averted. And Deion being a basic zero-dark-thirty is a huge plus as well. Let's see where it goes.
I won't rant into his performance on the field. There are things I like and things I don't. I'm at the point where I feel like the biggest hurdle will be his arc from Rookie QB1 to verifiable fQB. It may be a bumpy, unpredictable road. And the end product may be another guy we love to hate and hate to love.
Things I love are his nuance with velocity... and ability to throw a very accurate and catchable ball. He has thrown some dimes.
I feel like when QBs that have learned the fine art of putting some air under the ball, the synergy with WR's becomes exponentially effective. DBs just have a hard time adapting -- almost like great hitters trying to adapt to a knuckleball pitcher. However, that style makes timing even more critical.
I also cosign with Woofer's analysis that the coaching staff is adapting right along with him, that points to a healthy relationship when we can watch constant development from week to week.
I'll stop, but in the short term, I'm excited to see how that style meshes. It only takes a handful of connections, and a certain rapport with a WR like Isaiah Bond, before that duo could be deadly to defenses. If Sanders can show constant progress in his read progression and timing, and limit the Chicken Little drop backs, he can find himself smack-dab in the wheelhouse of a Stefanski-type offense.
Fingers crossed.

Bill Callahan is unemployed. Bill Callahan is 69 years old and I'm not sure if coaching football is in his future plans.
That said, Callahan and Joe Thomas as OLine advisors to rebuild the Browns OLine via the draft, we would be hard pressed to find anyone more qualified than those two.
Berry's history of drafting OLine is matter of record...and not very good.

So you are simply throwing out what you "think and feel" regarding the Steele Dossier' even though much of its content were shown to be true. Aw, those feelings mean so much.  So now you bring up the trans issue. Which once again has nothing to do with the topic. Having a "choice" isn't advocating anything other than to give women a choice. advocate; a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. The policy being advocated is choice, not to "advocate to murder the most innocent of human being's, unborn babies." Someone needs to buy you a dictionary for Christmas. Let me guess, you don't believe in the definition of words either? Yeah, the president who did everything in his power to cover up the Epstein files to protect pedophiles seems to be an issue you are having trouble understanding. I do not believe 99% of the crap the left has thrown up against Trump. You don't need to. Here is what you are not believing. You are not believing juries. Through all of your mindless rants it seems to have escaped you that it was not Biden who convicted trump. It was not Merrick Garland nor Letitia James. A jury convicted trump. A jury who heard the charges, listened to the evidence and made a decision based on that evidence to convict him. It wasn't the democrats who chose to settle all of those lawsuits. It was trump who settled those suits because he knew he couldn't win those lawsuits. It wasn't "the democrats" who found trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carol. Once again it was a jury who heard all of the evidence. Once again you brought up a host of issues that had nothing to do with this topic. You blamed the democrats for the decision of juries and settlements trump agreed to. Sadly you can't see that what you have chosen to believe are the lies that spew from trump's face on a daily basis that proves he's a habitual liar. Yet you blame everyone else for it and pretend they are the evil ones. On July 31, the White House announced its plans for constructing the ballroom. While promoting the project at the White House, Trump said the ballroom "won't interfere with the current building. … It will be near it but not touching it. It pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite place. I love it." How is that working out for you? I think the question you should be asking yourself is why do you believe anything trump tells you?

I think Bond is someone who could round out into a legit NFL superstar.
He's an athletic freak with elite speed who, with a little work and determination, could be an elite route-runner as well. I kinda feel the same way. Great speed and if he can keep his nose clean and put a full offseason/TC in, he might turn out to be a legit WR in the NFL.

I've never had to take any medication to offset side effects from another medication. I'm sure there are medications for things such as cancer that your assertion may be true. But when it comes to deciding whether to take more medications to offset side effects or death are your two choices the lesser of two evils comes into play.
Two points I think we do agree on is first that our food supply is directly connected to the need for many prescription medications. I believe the jury is pretty much in on that fact.
And secondly more directed to your fist point, I do believe that the main focus behind pharmaceutical companies R&D and drug development is far more focused on treating what ails us rather than curing what ails us. Curing what ails us is not a profitable business model.
So we're not too far off from total agreement.

I’m glad, but surprised he got a liver after his past drinking caused the issue. They won’t give a smoker a new heart or lungs, just saying I’m surprised. The threshold is 6mos sobriety, sometimes they'll make an exception. Exceptions like having the transplant performed at UH who are the Browns medical partner with the influence and backing of the Haslams behind the scenes. Who knows? I don't think the transplant operation works like you are suggesting. My basketball coach had a liver transplant there about 12-14 months ago. He wasn't anyone special.

I don't really like Tomlin. I always felt like he benefited too much from what Cow built up before him. I think Tomlin thinks too highly of himself and because of that has become too inflexible and unable to adapt to a changing NFL.

What is so hilarious about it all is it sounds like something a 12 year old would say. They've had since trump came down that escalator to come up with something more creative but they simply aren't capable of it. And it's obvious they aren't paying attention. If they looked at trump's Truth Social account and listened to what he says they would realize how much he mentions Biden. He's obsessed with hm. If they really insist on using such childish BS they should be saying BDS. But it's become quite typical that every accusation they launch just turns out to be an admission of what trump is doing.
