Justin Blackmon

Justin needs to stay away from the NFL. He is an addict and cannot handle the lifestyle. He would need a 24/7 babysitter like Josh Hamilton, and even then it would be dangerous to his sobriety. For his health and safety he should just retire and stay near his family. It's not worth it. He'll end up dead or in jail.

I don't know the man and you're probably right. But reality says he WILL give it another go and another team will take that chance. For a low pick (and that's optimistic IMO), that risk/reward is worth it IMO.

Risk/reward. The Browns reportedly balked at 2nd rounders before Gordon exploded last year. There will be a market for him IMO.

And people on here were ready to trade a second round pick for Blackmon based on the argument that 'he was worth the risk'.

Then he screwed up yet again, even though he was in the midst of being tested 10 times a month.

You don't go after people like this because they're either too addicted to put the drugs down or just too stupid for their own good.

You don't throw a million dollars at someone like that, much less put your team in the spot of depending on him.

You don't accomplish that by depending on people who have proven they're undependable.

It's possible to get a talented receiver without throwing money at an idiot.

 

who said we would be depending on him? i'd hope we wouldn't be depending on a 7th round pick. if we could get a top 5 draft pick for a 7th rounder, i think we'd be all for it.

 

 

it is also possible for people to rehabilitate themselves.

 

it's not like we're trying to throw the franchise away for this guy, we're CONSIDERING spending an EXTREMELY LOW pick on him. obviously our FO would RESEARCH the situation, and make an informed decision.

 

 

but to completely throw the idea out the window without considering it is idiotic.

    • If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.
    • Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
    • Yall... stop taking a sample size and projecting a role player into a permanent starter cuz he had a decent year after what, 5? Come on
