I am curious to how much the writers at the OBR can be trusted. This Adam Caplan guy seems very arrogant, and acts like a know it all. Is he a good source of info, or are most of his writings filled with personal bias, as it seems to me. Rich Passan sounds like an idiot, who just writes stuff to people off, Taylor and the others appear to just repeat rumors or say the most popular thing the hear themselves.
I read their stories alot and have become a paying member there, but I'm still wondering if I should take their insights with a grain of salt.
Any thoughts?

It's a pay site. They have keep writing stuff to get you to keep upping you subscription and to gain new ones. Always take their writing with a grain of salt.

It's a glorified fan site, nothing more.

I really don't pay all that much attention to them or what they say at all,, mostly, we get the same info here and more often than not, it's more reliable.. Funny how that works isn't it?

I don't understand those who pay for OBR stuff. It's not like they know things we don't....or will find out in 15 minutes.

They pay so they can find out free agent and draft strategy news before the rest of us.....but how accurate is the stuff ahead of time? And how soon do you need to know the stuff? Seems like a waste of money...

Meh, I'm sure some of the things I buy would be considered a waste to others too. If it makes you happy........

You can also find a lot of that draft information stuff on eBay for about 30 - 50 percent less.

They have been Barry Barry bad for football!



Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Thanks to all!

I was sucked into the pay end, and now I'm regretting it.

Too much opinion over real news, sort of like NBC news
