SMH. We need to draft a good QB. Not the smallest weakest experiment but a legitimate talent. What would Tua and Mac bring us other than another 2-4 years of mediocrity? We likely need to clean house because our talent eval is worst in the league, but I still think we need another Cam (good QB, not clone).

It’s our fault for continually drafting these guys. He’s an old 2nd year guy and he had one season in college. If he’s not already set on the mental game, don’t move up to draft him in the first over Coleman and McConkey and De Jean and Frazier, all of whom we needed and are vastly superior players already. Again, to the dolts in here that backed the FO guys religiously, there’s a bunch of huddlers, including me, that would have been better GMs and the team would be a lot more talented if the huddle drafted the team. It’s honestly ridiculous how bad we’ve been in the draft for since 2021. Truly comical. Us fans have to just laugh at how bad it’s been. Even Hurney and Gettleman got something in their drafts so we were competitive and had chances at the playoffs and SBs. It hurts to think about how many years it will be before we sniff another SB or even feel like a SB is possible. Right now it’s just delusional to think that.

Poor guy went from practice squad paychecks to active roster paychecks. Based on his 1 accrued year, he went from $234k to $960k. Poor guy absolutely loves being here in Charlotte.

If we were a top offense, I’d agree but we aren’t so our chance of getting 3 2 pointers is basically 0. There were two calls. Go for 2, which I understand but don’t agree based on our futility, and the actual play call, which was awful both times. Play action fake with a leak out and/or rollout to increase the number of opportunities like a QB run in or multiple targets. We, unfortunately, limited ourselves to one chance and after the first run was stuffed you’d think we wouldn’t do the same thing twice but we did and got the same result.

Bryce gets rattled easily, but the Cardinals were getting a ton of pressure. The OL was bad that drive.

Yeah, Smitty is talking as an announcer. Would Smitty have said that if he was playing on the same team as XL and watched XL kill a drive because he couldn’t drag his toe on the third step? I don’t think so.

There’s a weird thing that goes on in here over some of our backups. BC, Mays and Zavala are OK backups but they are starter level players. BC got nothing in FA and cam back to us. Our team talent level is at the bottom of the league. We certainly don’t have 8 NFL starter level OL on our team. Having to play Mays and Zavala/BC is not a good thing for us.

The OL looked OK when the Cardinals were in prevent. Last drive, they man handled our OL. Zavala is not an NFL starter.

Hate to tell you this, but we are the Browns. Since the hot start to 2018, we are now 30-71. We’ve averaged 5-12 for soon to be 7.5 years. No playoffs for soon to be 8 years. Right now we are tied with Atlanta for the second worst playoff drought (Jets first). We are firmly tied for 2nd place since the 4th place teams are 3 fewer years.

You’re right. I was thinking of the GB game with the silly reach for the goal line when he wasn’t close that turned into a goal line fumble. I do remember all the discussions in here about end of the game interceptions and bad passes, etc. but that wasn’t against the Chiefs. That said, still the best season by a QB since Cam. Best 4 game run was Darnold to start 2021, but best full season was Teddy. That makes me really sad.

That’s why I didn’t want him. The fact that it came out that he agreed with Fitterer to not trade Burns to the Rams told me everything. I still cringe every time I saw the dawg poo in here during this offseason like we were back. This team seems to be the opposite of that.

When people keep bringing that up, remind them that Rhule’s first season included Teddy blowing chances to beat GB and KC who were the 2 playoff #1 seeds that year and Rhule started off his second season 3-1 with a close loss to Dallas and Darnold had 10 total TDs in those 4 games. Even with that, Rhule was universally disliked and booted in year 3 so the Philly/KC games mean nothing. We’ve gotten worse since Rhule and it honestly feels a lot further away from the playoffs.

So true. Rodgers would have immediately targets his WR1, with no hesitation. Young should have it in his head that an offsides equals a ball to TMac with zero shots given. Just right to him even if he’s quadruple teamed. He threw the ball so far out of bounds that he absolutely had to have been throwing it away, not just a bad deep throw.

Zavala got a bad holding call on the last drive where we stalled out.

Dude has been hurt badly enough to need IR 3 years in a row and we were still OK with making him play a position he never played in the NFL. SMH, when we got rid of Fitterer, already a year later than we should have with Rhule, we should have actually cleaned house. We got rid of the figurehead, not the actual bad decisions and bad scouting.
