Forge Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just now, J-ALL-DAY said: Boo....... Thats alright. No word on Brown yet, and Staley definitely out this week.

Then load up on the meatheads on the line because no QB or RB can operate behind what we are trotting out there. Well put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not on the "suck for darnold (or Rosen)" track anymore but I still want as high a pick as possible. So let him take a couple weeks to learn the offense and wrack up a couple more losses before we put him in. Besides I don't want him out there without Staley and brown. I want him nice and healthy for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Alright alright, so maybe you guys are right and it is best he doesn't play this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I am so hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Rico Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! I'm a HUGE fan of Garopollo. Been pushing for him since the offseason. This is best case scenario for me. No guarantees with anyone, but this is by far the best chance we've had at a franchise QB since 2005. Also, Garapollo is a guy that Shanahan's been after since he left college. Shanahan evaluated all the QB's that year and was really high on him. Think he was with the Browns at the time but might be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt2402 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You guys are gonna love him. Excited to see him get a chance with a great offensive mind, sad that he isn't our QB of the future but the timing just doesn't seem like it would've worked out with Brady.

Forge Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Interesting note. I was reading in the browns forum and Apparently the cost was higher for them to land Jimmy G because he would have been staying in the afc. Yay for conference alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami49er Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well now.... that this is surprising. I ranted on an earlier post that this team was tanking and that I had doubts about Kyle. When does he get put into the starting lineup? I say in 3 weeks after the bye week. I'm concerned though. This offensive line is still terrible. I'm not sure Garropolo will fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offensive line is still terrible. I'm not sure Garropolo will fix that MM said after the bye week, and I think that makes the most amount of sense. That gives both tackles time to get healthy, and quite frankly, with those two guys in the lineup, while our offensive line isn't great, it's definitely no worse than what half the other teams are putting out there a lot of the time. Our interior line is a mess, no doubt, but overall, the line is probably slightly below average. I just like that we took the chance. This is a relatively low cost (second rounder + money) move with a lot of upside. Yeah, Jimmy G could be awful. And I have some durability questions, but there are definitely quite a few pros to this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with the amount of time this line gives he’s gotta start that throwing motion as the balls being snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with the amount of time this line gives he’s gotta start that throwing motion as the balls being snapped. Once the tackles are healthy, the line will be better. Its still not good, but it could be worse. I mean, just off the top of my head there are some atrocious offensive lines out there. I'd rank us ahead of the Texans, Colts, Chiefs, Giants, Cardinals, Seahawks (even with Brown), Bengals, the Ravens in what they are currently fielding (obviously, some atrocious injuries there), Denver...I'm sure that there are more. We need interior help in the worst way. I'd love to draft Nelson and pair him with Garnett (I'm not a fan of the latter, but it's too early to call it quits on him, I"m sure, and he has to be at least comparable to Tomlinson at this point), and then maybe sign a center like Weston Richburg or Ryan Jensen or something?

TecmoSuperJoe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Please don't turn into an Oakland Raiders/Carson Palmer trade disaster. Graoppolo hasn't been sitting on the couch obviously, but it might be really ugly coming into the middle of the season on a bad squad. That being said.... 8-8 6th seed?????

TecmoSuperJoe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Or we could just let CJ be a punching bag the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
