He admitted he needed to heal up in his own words. Only it's not what you're suggesting. Just not the kind of healing you're suggesting.


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

Gabriel may have the Doug Flutie syndrome. He was a leader and won everywhere he played but he didn't look like an NFL QB. Height, weight speed etc.

That may be true. But he sure managed to put together two good scoring drives. One in preseason and one last week. I'm certainly not saying that is emblematic of the long term results but it's a good starting point.

I love Doug Flutie. I watched a lot of games he played in the CFL and I agree with almost everything you posted, except he was very quick with his feet. And very smart.

I liked Doug Flutie too. The guy never got a fair shot as an NFL starter because of the reasons I listed. He was quick but not fast. The guy just won but didn't look good doing it LOL !!! laugh Maybe Dillon can be OUR Doug Flutie!!!!

Herb Edwards says he reminds him of Sipe.

I can see that comparison. Gabriel is efficient. Ball out. He has a better arm than Tua or Bryce Young according to the PFF guys.

I am interested in seeing Gabriel play more.

I just hate the thought of us turning over the reins to a rookie. Not fair to him but the entire team. If our offence continues to look like slop, we probably will.
But it’s not just Joe.

The line hasn’t been good and wide receivers struggle to get open. Jeudy has been playing “Quincy Morgan football”, to quote drop king Q from 2004 or so.

I'm not in love with it either. Flacco will have a convenient minor injury by week 7 if this keeps up. That way you don't look like fools if you have to pull the rookie back out.

Mark my words.

....did you have to put slop and Joe in close proximity in my brain?

Every time I see Flacco I'm going to have the Sloppy Joe jingle going in my head now.

Edit: or probably this
