smashmouths@blf 33 Posted May 9, 2014 According to Sal Palantonio, the Browns GM made up his mind to draft Johnny Football because a bum told him too. What a feel good hard hitting story by "Sal Pal". I bet Kevin Costner would've listened to a bum too. Cleveland=Loser town USA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,649 Posted May 9, 2014 Yes, because I trust everything Sal Pal tells us. I can't wait until they start comparing all these losers like him, McGay and Kiper's endless mocks to reality - thus reminding us how focking worthless these guys are in the first place. BTW - Johnny Football = Johny Ware = Colt McCoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,814 Posted May 9, 2014 Did the bum record his private conversation with him? BEcause ya know......things can be done with that. Sincerely, Viv Stiviano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,042 Posted May 9, 2014 Considering some of Cleveland's other picks...Brandon Weedon...some homeless guy isn't going to do any more damage to that team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted May 9, 2014 I think it was a great pick for them. That franchise needs some buzz. Someone for the city to get excited about. Still not convinced he'll be a great pro, but Brown's fans are thrilled about football again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank M 181 Posted May 9, 2014 Just the fact that you believe that story shows the intelligence and discernment capabilities of your average Steeler fan. Seriously, when would Jimmy Haslam come into contact with a homeless guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted May 9, 2014 If he pans out like he was in college, with Gordon and Cameron to throw to and Tate in the backfield, this could be a fun offense to watch... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,649 Posted May 9, 2014 Considering some of Cleveland's other picks...Brandon Weedon...some homeless guy isn't going to do any more damage to that team. I think they've had something like 20 starting quarterback since 1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank M 181 Posted May 9, 2014 In jail? Not in the kind of jail Jimmy's going to end up in. The type of jail he's going to is the one where the punishment is that he can only get nine holes a day in instead of eighteen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW - Johnny Football = Johny Ware = Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy played on stacked texas teams and was a system guy... Johnny Football is Graham Harrell who can run a bunch... I think he has the potential to be exciting, but will be limited because of the amount of mistakes his game bascially requires him to make... If he tries to cut down on the mistakes he cuts down on the only part of the game he has a edge in. Catch 22... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still not convinced he'll be a great pro, but Brown's fans are thrilled about football again. Didn't like the Gilbert pick either... I think he could be a pretty good pro, but they had a top 10 pass D already, that wasn't an issue for them. They could have drafted Mack and got a Bridgewater or Carr end of the round or in the 2nd and been better off. Hoyer has been great for them in the limited time he's been healthy. Is a very smart guy and they have the potential for a balanced offense. They don't even need a QB right now. Spend it on the defensive front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't need Watkins, they need a meat and potatoes type of draft IMO... They are very close to an above .500 team, closer than they get credit for because of their franchise history.

They are very close to an above .500 team, closer than they get credit for because of their franchise history. I mostly agree with this but I don't think you can fault them for taking a QB early. Hoyer looked good, yes, but was it just a fluke? And more importantly, can he stay healthy for a 16 game season? I have serious doubts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buster Skrine was pressed into a starting role even though he was essentially a nickel back. They picked Gilbert because Mike Pettine's system is essentially an attacking system, and they needed a better cover corner than Skrine because of that.

They are very close to an above .500 team, closer than they get credit for because of their franchise history. I don't know if I agree with this. They do have a lot of pieces in place to be (more) successful. They had 5 Pro Bowlers last year. They need impact players more than depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
