Mr. Scot

The interaction he describes between Stefanski and Mayfield makes Stefanski sound like an insecure douche.

I've heard the name of that band before but I couldn't pick 'em out of a lineup or name anything they sang.

Pretty savage, idn't it? He slams the Browns pretty hard too, but damn

Barring injury, 70% of the team's offensive snaps sounds like a reasonable goal. Making the Pro Bowl? Eeehhh

I feel like we'd be smarter to stick to an area of expertise. Does the team employ any massage therapists?

My memory is vague on that. I never really paid a whole lot of attention to that story anyway.

I got a memory for ya... Remember when Huddlers were talking about letting Deshaun Watson pick the next head coach? Maybe even the GM too? What the hell were people smoking back then?

Don't look at me. I got a grandson and a sister in law on the way over. My football discussion is about to be done for the day.

Something something butcher, baker, candlestick maker?

NFC East...Yikes

If you look at John's Twitter timeline today, he's got an extended back and forth with some yahoo trying to tell him how Matt Rhule is going to turn it all around this season.

I thought it was that he bought a stolen laptop, not that he stole one himself...

Well remember, the GM when Bridgewater came here was Marty Hurney. General consensus has been that he was pretty well on board with Bridgewater as well. Of course, Marty was in "save my ass" mode at the time.

Based on the stories that have been out there, it sounded like he wasn't all that interested in us. What's come out more recently is that the Browns gave our leadership guys (Rhule, Fitterer, probably McAdoo) permission to talk to Mayfield and sell him on the idea of coming to Carolina. Apparently, they succeeded.

Also known as our QB decisions since Matt Rhule was named head coach...

In the midst of discussions about Baker Mayfield, Joe Brady, Sam Darnold and others, this tidbit from John... So the coach who "couldn't wait to work with Cam Newton" was the main guy pushing for Teddy Bridgewater... Not the first time we've heard this suggested. If I remember correctly, Roaring Riot said something similar. I know the question of who was ultimately behind that decision has been pretty heavily discussed on this forum.

Yep. Throw in that what we paid was a pittance.

My go-to answer at this point is that I don't know how good Mayfield's going to be in our system. Gantt acknowledges in his latest "Old Guy" Q&A that there'll be some adjustments going from his old scheme to McAdoo's WCO style offense. Will it fit him better? His skill set does seem at least decently suited to it. I guess we'll see.

Does he get along with McAdoo? There's a pretty good argument to be made that the answer to this question matters more than whether or not he gets along with Rhule.

In-between these, John got into a massive Twitter snit with a Matt Rhule defender. It was entertaining

You never explained why you were talking about weeing in your prior post

Possible. I'd like to think that Scott Fitterer isn't prone to being fooled by these sorts of things like Marty Hurney was though (behind the scenes draft video bolsters that argument). But yeah, you'd have to think of all people, Fitterer would have a pretty good idea whether his old Seattle colleagues were bluffing or not.

Did he have issues with Lincoln Riley in Oklahoma? I missed it if he did, but admittedly I don't follow college football quite as closely as I do the pros. Regardless, I don't think anyone (including Baker himself) would debate against the notion that he's a cocky bastard. Like it was with Steve Smith, that's a big part of his successes...as well as his failures. The one piece of this article that kinda raised an eyebrow with me though was the story about Myles Garrett. If he too was "lashing out" over "a lack of adjustments", it makes me wonder a little.

The Browns have for years been the very embodiment of what I call lottery pick mentality. "This ticket wasn't an instant winner? Okay, let's buy another one."

Have you met @kungfoodude?
