How on earth is this possible? He's my 5th rated QB in this draft class. Just horrific. Quote My understanding, and I’ve heard this from multiple people: Cleveland has not made a final call. How on earth is THIS possible? There have been ZERO games played between early January and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Dorsey and co. have just been swayed by Allen in person and things like his pro day, wonderlic etc. Which would be madness. Because there is nothing he does the best out of the QBs apart from throw it hardest and furthest. And as Joe Montana said yesterday, those two things are pretty irrelevant as you hardly ever throw the ball more than 45 yards. What is most important according to him, and I agree completely, is being accurate and performing under pressure. If Cleveland thinks that is Josh Allen. I give up.

This is all just media nonsense. They can say whatever they want and have no need to concern themselves with the accuracy of their reporting. This is just to feed the appetites of their viewers/listeners/subscribers. People, like all of you guys, freak out at this nonsense which in turn helps their business. Boring doesn’t sell and Sam Darnold at 1 has become boring. Josh Allen is controversial. Controversy sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I've decided to take the @NateDawg approach for the remainder of the draft process. I'll go into the draft fully expecting them to knock it completely out of the park and draft a bunch of studs/future Pro Bowlers. I'll be completely optimistic and in fully Charlie Brown trying to kick the football mode and enjoy the next 2 weeks. When the inevitable disappointment/disaster comes, at least I'll have enjoyed the last couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaBohmbastic Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Allen is not the pick. There's no way he's going to blow them away with the whiteboard interview. If Darnold was a notch below Mayfield and Rosen, there's absolutely zero chance he'll come out anywhere near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza23 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 9 hours ago, Mind Character said: LOL... I wish... if I knew that the decision was exclusively left up to Dorsey and his key FO's guys, I'd make a significant bet in a heartbeat, but there is so much uncertainty regarding how much say or value or power do the coaches, and other personnel guys have in the eyes of the Haslams? If the answer is "a lot" then I'd still hold out the faith that Darnold can be the guy. Without knowing that element I can't in good faith make a large bet as I'm not swimming in it... I did make a small affordable bet of $50 on Mayfield going 1... and I honestly hope I never see that 50 ever again... So basically you know as much as us. ?

This is a new regime with some heavy hitters. New year new make up new hope. 2. We’ve not really been in this position that much to acquire the top qb in the draft. You wouldn’t think that as crappy as we’ve been but it’s true. 3. Yes 4. See all the above. Now go ***** slap your friend. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
