DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum What if it is Arch?

I like the way Arch improved last season from the start of the season to the end of the year. Shows the ability to adapt and overcome weaknesses found in his game. He is very athletic and has a good arm. I would be ecstatic if the Browns drafted him. The only issue is his last name Manning and unreasonable expectations. Last year he was crowned the Heisman favorite before the season started and before he really saw significant game action. It became obvious that the game was fast for him early last year and slowed down for him by the end of the season. The fans and media of the team that drafts him will expect him to play well above most rookie levels and I would worry those expectations would hinder his growth as a player.

For me, I am more curious about Monken's "type" of QB vs any particular name and how Monken et al will be able to prop up the QB position this year.

I like what I'm seeing out of the skill groups (Judkins and Fannin as well as the earliest returns from the rookie WRs), and I'm cautiously optimistic about our Oline... so if all goes well our rookie QB should have a nice (if young) supporting cast going into next season.

I'm going to have to watch the college season, see the draft order and how things stand then before pontificating about one of several options that we have no idea of yet.

For all we know arch could fall flat on his face this season and not even be in contention. It wouldn't be the first time some big name fell on his face.

And there is a list of QB's vying for top first round draft picks as well. I mean if you want to get into hypotheticals. I don't have any problem with people going through some far fetched hypotheticals if that's what they wish to do. That's their choice.

But there's at least five or six QB's on the QB watch list this season. It's just a personal choice of my own not to invest going through all of these hypotheticals before we have any type of clear picture if these hypotheticals are a reality. I mean IMO, if people are going to do that they need a thread that involves each of these hypotheticals for each of the first five or six ranked QB's going into the college season. But then as I said, we have zero idea how any of them will be ranked by seasons end.

But hey man, it's cool. To each their own.

If its hypothetical,screw Arch draft Peyton.

Arch will probably “Eli” the Browns and who can blame him.
Cleveland is QB hell…

Ok, so, I just logged in. And I thought "What the hell did I do?"

As to the REAL topic: There is a whole season ahead to see how good/average/bad he is.

I thought he was thinking the Browns should draft you next year in the first round to be the the Browns next QB. And then i thought, "Isn't he a little old for that"?

Ray Farmer is no longer here. He was fired in 2015. A year after Manziel was drafted.

If Arch is drafted by the Browns, we should see how much we could get in a trade for him to build draft capitol so we can draft our FQB the following year!!! Brilliant!!!!

I'm just going to try and get through what I expect to be another long and painful season before I think about the draft.

In response to some of your comments Bone you are right about this season. I don’t think too many of us are optimistic about it. We just want to see the team gel and young guys develop and improve. As far as a team taking another QB other than Arch even if he looks a little better him I feel pedigree may come into the equation and a team may draft Arch for that reason. I certainly don’t know how other teams will think it’s JMO.

And if we’re really that bad again look at the bright side we won’t have to use any of our built up draft capital to move up in the draft because we’ll already be up there!!!!!
