Pejorative Miscreant

This is not surprising. There are pages of Huddle threads that support this assumption. Darnold is the albatross hanging around the front organization’s neck. Corral was a deliberate and rational decision for trying to correct that long term. I’m happy to embrace the suckage and hope we can climb out of this.

“League Sources” confirm at least one more.

Yeah agree From my totally biased opinion I think kicking Ickey inside to mask the shortcomings of BC is not what is best for your long-term elite tackle. The reasoning given from the YT piece was that this would be "the best 5". While that may be accurate, I dont think that makes sense to do for an entire season. If Ickey is working on some things and coming along and you think some short term Guard play will help develop, fine. If you are in a tight spot for a game and you need Ickey to kick inside for a possession, fine. But Ickey is an LT and he was drafted to play LT.

The guy made some very good comments about the line. The one that stuck with me was the mention of kicking ickey inside with BC at left tackle. Indicated that may be the best 5 as a group. While I dont like it, we drafted Ickey to be anchor LT, it might be what we see initially. im sure Huddlers are sharpening the pitchforks if this happens

No worries from me. We are in for about 12-14 more Mayfield trade threads so time will fly. Not complaining, I'm just easily entertained.

Very nice so far. Will watch the rest later. I forgot all about Matt Paradis. Key departure in the sense that it’s a relief he’s gone.

The fact that we are rationally debating where/when two young up and coming linemen will play is refreshing compared to last year.

I think this and Rhule has to keep the competition going. Technically it’s probably a good thing to say something to this effect in June. Rhule just sounds dopey when he says it.

But today will not be the last day to have a new thread on Mayfield

This is just a dream scenario everyone here would love to see but I doubt many people considered it to be plausible.

Agreed. But it does serve a purpose. I’m highly entertained.

I’ll take whatever positive vibes they are sending. Agree with a lot of the posts about comments last year so won’t get overly excited but not gonna pass up an opportunity for optimism. The alternative is hoping Robbie starts catching and stops tweeting.

Probability says based on current state, Darnold starts day 1. That said, my ideal scenario would be for Corral to start day 1. If he does he is at the very least, slightly better than Darnold. If this happens at a minimum, his floor is a backup and we go swing next year. Best case scenario you have found a QB for the foreseeable future.

I think that is a quote from Rhule based on the OTAs they had the other week. I think the "ways to go" comment can be said for virtually any rookie at that point in time. Its premature to make conclusions based on a guys first week as he probably still has to ask for directions on how to get to the bathroom at this point. I am gonna be patient and focus on real things to be enraged over. Like Robbie tweeting or Rhule playing ping pong. Those are the things we should be worried about...

Not a Mayfield fan but I gotta think this crap coming out of Mint Street is designed to lower Bakers price tag.

Based on my most likely biased and definitely unscientific opinion, ends take around 3 years to develop (excluding elite guys like Peppers and such). We will likely find out what we have in YGM this year. Signing an experienced guy will enhance the competition and likely help YGM grow. Nothing wrong with an affordable contract.

Robbie looked like he retired last September...

That soccer team he fielded yesterday was epic

I think before the Browns cut Mayfield they will get desperate and someone will get him for cheap. As you may know 18 million is a lot to eat.

Without knowing specifics I think he has done a good job. I suspect there has been a power shift from Rhule holding all the power to them having confidence in his input. I think he has done a fairly decent job thus far. Still have to judge him on perceived value based on what he has gotten. Draft this year and last looks good if they start to produce. The FA signings to fix the line this year looks good on paper. On value and need he gets an A with the exception of the Anderson deal. Production is a TBD.

I think he has had some reps there and I dont think it was inspiring although I am not 100% sure. While its not exactly the same thing as trying to make Nate Chandler an OT, he will be out of his natural position. I would not expect him to be great there or perform without a drop off in effectiveness. It might be best for fielding the "best team you can" but I think if this happens it will likely become evident that this MLB is a glaring need for the team.

Correlation does not always equate to cause. We lose cause our QB sucks and have been coached by what looks to be pop Warner staff.
