I made it about 10 minutes into the Swifty bowl before I turned it off. I think she had more camera time than the game.

And they definitely need to not make it part of the HoF accomplishment list anymore.

And a chip on his shoulder the size of BofA stadium.

I just want to know where they got whatever they were smoking when they made this decision. For research purposes.

Maybe having a Pro Bowl QB makes the Browns HC job more attractive now. Right. <wink wink>

3 day old gas station sushi.

They had Justin Fields. It's not like they could do any worse.

Some things just stick with you.

That's like Miss America being replaced Janet Reno.

These 2 aren't 3 lbs different. No way in hell.

Proof that the pro bowl is a joke.

And Ward

And if he doesn't work out, so what. It's not like Bryce's 3k yards are a high threshold to clear. Bryce shouldn't be guaranteed any starting position. He hasn't been consistently good enough. Even if someone not named Howell is brought in and performs better than Bryce, they should get the starting role. This isn't about feelings, it's about wins and you're not going to win many of those averaging less than 200 yards of passing offense a week.

He has potential. His year in Washington without a running game and under pressure almost every play he still managed to put up numbers. I'm not saying start him, but as a QB2 with potential, yeah, I like it for the right price. I hold no illusions that he's a franchise QB, but is he better than Dalton with age on his side and opportunity to get better? Yes. It's time to start throwing some darts. And let's be real. If Bryce wasn't a Panther, no one on this board would be screaming to trade for him if he was available.

How they treated the Baker/Sam thing was a joke. He was used as a DE on the PS. He may not have been any good here had he really been given a chance to succeed, but that whole situation was a clusterfug. I don't blame him for wanting out of this Tepper led poo show.

You underestimate the stupidity of our owner. Bryce shouldn't have got the 5th year but he did. He hasn't had back to back franchise QB level game performances ever. Our franchise is being built on hope and a determined owner who will not admit he made the wrong choice.

By the time you draft a QB and design and drafting the players to build around him, especially with the trade up we did, the rookie QB contract window is almost over. It's better to build the system and find the QB to drop into it before the 50-60m per season bomb drops or just draft from your position without bankrupting your future.

Kept Darnold and draft JSN. It's not like there weren't possibilities if we had been mildly intelligent.

Puka broke up that pick same as he did today on a near pick. I give players credit for making plays. Stafford has a SB win and is a perennial playoff QB while we have 8 losing seasons in a row. I'm no Rams fan but we'd be damn lucky to have gotten him instead of LA.

His 1st 2 coaches were Adam Gase and Matt Rhule. 2 HCs for 2 of the worst franchises this past decade. I'm not that surprised actually. Takes a couple years under competent coaches to get up to speed. He's getting there.

That offense can score easily in under 2 minutes. We gave them the ball back with too much time on the clock.

Take the points there. Only down by one. Even if they score, you can still go for the 2pt

One QB that struggles to see over the line and one that will need cataract surgery at some point during the year. Good times.

It's only going to get worse with NIL and transfers. These QBs aren't NFL ready and they need to sit. I think if we see them sitting the first year or 2 after being drafted, it will change the QB NIL situation as well.

The right answer was re-sign Darnold, sit at 9 and let the draft come to us. Even if we took a QB, it's been better to let them sit and learn the 1st year or part of it than shove them straight into the fire unless there's no other choice. Too much risk for a QB that wasn't likely to be an elite franchise QB anyway based on the history of overall 1st pick QBs. If that Manning or Luck caliber QB had been available, Chicago wouldn't have traded out.
