Ok.
I was wrong about Roethlisberger.
I was wrong about Johnny, in a way. I still think he could be good, but I never thought his head would get in the way like it has.
I'll add Brandon Weeden as well.
I was wrong about Haslam.

I thought Chud would turn this team around. To be fair, fired after one season is more a comment about ownership than Chud.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

I thought adding Kareem Hunt to our offense would be a waste of talent. He's slotted in nicely.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

So right about R Wilson and so right about Weeden - same year. Puked when the Walrus drafted that God awful ginger.
Right about Rosen.
Wrong about Lamar.

I don't think anyone saw what Lamar is now doing.
If anyone was honest. Looking at Lamar's college tape he was inaccurate.
His mechanics were poor. He threw the ball with his legs very close together. He missed guys by yards.
Major props to Lamar for the work and improvement he has made.
In addition Harbaugh and his staff have done wonders in building an offense to fit his skills.

Alright. I was wrong about Ryan Leaf... figured both him and Peyton were can't miss prospects. Payton on the fast track to the HOF, Leaf breaking into homes stealing Vicodin.

j/c I had no idea we had this many Catholics on the board. We've all been right on such things and we've all been wrong on such things.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I was wrong about to much to list. I was wrong about Billy Manziel and him keeping it together to have the chance at a career. Josh Gordon about his drug/drinking problems. Brady Quinn being a franchise QB. Kellen Winslow being the next great pass catching TE.And worse of all I thought Levi Brown would have a better career than Joe Thomas

Ive been WAY wrong about Lamar to this point ... he’s dynamite

Only just getting a chance to go back and look at this in a little depth and look at the last 20 years of drafts .... and I guess free agents:
- I was wrong about Njoku. I had uber high expectations. - Super wrong on Corey Coleman. - I bought into the Cameron Erving propaganda after the pick. - I bought into Justin Gilbert even more. - I convinced myself that a 28 year old first round QB might be genius - I thought Brian Robiskie was going to be a great #2 for years. - I thought we made the right call with the Quiet Storm .... - Thought Josh Gordon was going to get his act together. - I thought Jeff Garcia was going to be a great leader. - I thought the thief that is Mike Holmgren was going to build an dynasty.
So many bad memories. Need a Steelers beat down this weekend to help purge these now that I've self inflicted wounds to my myself.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I didn't want Baker or Ward.
I bought into the Darnold hype.
Boy was I wrong.

I think Swish was quite upfront about the potential he saw in Lamar. A potential that no one agreed with.

Sam Darnold is 22 years old.
I don't think his career is history yet.

I would not trade Baker for Darnold. We made the right pick.

I was right about Kam Wimbley, I hated that we traded to move up when we could've had Haloti Ngata Kellen Winslow II...hailed to be the greatest TE ever, turned out to be one of the weirdest rapists ever Trent Richardson...that 1st year was beast mode, I recall on of his first runs that knocked the helmet off that eagles player. I truely believe that the trade to the Colts in his 2nd year derailed him mentally, had all the physical tools but not the mental toughness. That trade told him that he wasn't worthy to be on our team

Trent Richardson was a mental midget .. remember those screen grabs where he was missing the hole by large margins; simply couldn’t read a defense.
His best trait was receiving out of the backfield (remember that game at Cincy) ... but man, what. Bust

I'll join the crown about T-Rich I was wrong about Greg Robinson, thought he'd be a Thomas-like stud. I was wrong about Rosen and Mayfield, my order was Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield. I thought Rosen was going to be an instant success. I was way wrong about Jackson.
I was very right about Manziel. I knew it in his sophomore year at A&M. It was an away game (TCU?) and he did his patented drop back, scan the field, and scramble for a TD. The crowd boo'd and jeered him, so he did his money fingers gesture, drawing a 15 yard penalty for taunting. As he came off the field, his HC came onto the field to intercept and scold him, and Johnny walked right past him like he wasn't there. That moment of disrespecting his HC told me all I needed to know about Johnny F_____ Football.

I was wrong about Lawyer Tillman 6'5 and boy could he run. I thought him and Vinny could make a nice combo. He had the build. The physical makeup.
Antonio Langham. Alabama CB. Has All Pro written on him Nope. Just another bust who couldnt take on bigger WRs.
Brady Quinn. I thought he was the real deal. Good head on his shoulders. Seemed like a football savant

Ohhhhhh, I was Brady Quinn's biggest fan. I remember asking my Dad to tape the Notre Dame games so I could watch them later. Remember speeding home from one of my night school classes to watch Brady Quinn's first pre-season game. Boy was I wrong on that one.
