And it's almost all about what's between the ears and in the chest. Sure, some physical attributes but they all seem to agree... it's the beans

Brady, Homes, OMAHA- they had "want to"- SS is Ok with a C, we have four UGLY sisters at QB- we must address OL, WR- maybe deep dive QB- Brady was a 6th and Purdy a 7th....why can't we hit on one like that......Go Browns

Well to be fair - it is all of it. Heart, Brain, Arm. If you want a Peyton, Brady, Luck, Rodgers ... It was interesting to hear the order of importance. I have always said a cerebral QB who processes fast is my most important factor - the seemingly unanimous trait on the video was heart and 'want it' came in as #1.

Because according to their timeline they are once in a generation type finds. They were drafted 20 years apart.

I am a person who really believes in play action.

Peyton was great at it. His footwork and fakes were fantastic.

I dislike play action when it is "lazy."

The whole point is confusion, options and being unpredictable.

If done properly as you are indicating, it's a very effective weapon in keeping the defense off balance. I've always been a huge advocate of play action.

My favorite offenses are run by Shanahan and Payton.

Both use quarterbacks who can run play action.

In some ways not sure but I think Shedeur might be able to run that type of offense.

He needs coaching but we don't know who our coach will be.

Harbaugh has run many offenses. He won with Flacco and then Lamar obviously different guys.

Harbaugh entering the coaching possibility changes things.

If one considers it an actual possibility Harbaugh would come here I suppose. But both Flacco and Lamar were first round QB's. I highly doubt once Harbuagh watches the film on Sanders he will see that as some golden opportunity. People usually only gamble on long shots when they're desperate or have no choice. Harbaugh isn't desperate and will have choices.

Long shot for sure.

However, IMO Haslam will swing big. He will offer a boatload of money and maybe full control.

Harbaugh will do what he feels is best for him.

Payton went to Denver and it was not ideal. In fact there are similarities. He inherited Wilson and a bad cap situation.

He got full control. He draft Nix twelfth and he was the sixth QB taken.

Harbaugh who knows but Haslam will want to hire him.

Ty Simpson entering the draft is an interesting development. He may be draftable later then expected. He could be an option. Obviously there is lots to unpack there but where he gets drafted is upon the air.

If Harbaugh wants to come here I say you make him the king with complete authority over everything. No questions asked. He grew up rooting for the Browns now it's time for him to bring glory back to the Browns. Let him hire his own GM. He is bonafide. You do whatever it takes. He has the pedigree to change the culture instantly.

A lot of stink comes with this organization but…these guys have egos. Guys, like and especially Harbaugh, knows what the man who takes this franchise to the promised land legacy becomes. May not mean a ton to some but to a guy like Harbaugh it may just be the enticing challenge to go out on. Add a giant paycheck for your efforts of course…

Then again, he may want to sail out with ease. The giant check is there regardless.

Haslam HAS to make the attempt though.

You never know what motivates a man.

One thing head coaches do know is the importance of the quarterback position.

The Browns quarterback situation is muddy and controversial.

On the team is Shedeur, Watson, and Gabriel. Zappe is on the team but barely.

Then there is the draft.

If you draft a guy in the first round. The Shedeur stuff will be a distraction.

Then there is Watson who is due a boatload of money. He will be on the team. He is not going to go to camp and just watch the rookies.

How would a prospective head coach view this?

Harbaugh draws a parallel with Watson and Lamar and says we use him for a season while we developing someone?

Wouldn't that same thing hold true for any team on the bottom wrung of the ladder who just fired their HC? I understand that Browns fans feel they are in some special circumstance here and for some strange reason they think that makes this different than other teams who have been failing. But I'm sure if you ask fans in any of those cities they feel the exact same way.

Oh I’m sure you’re right but…when I ponder all of that I have a hard time thinking of a franchise that has been maligned and laughed at being the butt of a lot of jokes by other fans and ESPECIALLY media like CLE.

I don’t really think he will give Cleveland much thought but as someone said above, we don’t know what’s motivating a man. Haslam still must take a shot. I believe it’s a must to put that out to the fans…”I tried”.
