Possibly the best laugh of the offseason

They must be drinking buddies, there is zero basis for believing the Browns will do anything but regress. Their current season is in the hands of an RG3 and Gordon reunion and one of them isnt even eligible to play again. If they draft Wentz he instantly has increased his bust factor by at least 50%. Goff will then become a super star due to sods law.

i'm starting to wonder when quarterbacks who get drafted by the browns are just going to hold out for a trade by default

even in the absolute pits of the hurney and late fox years this team was never as inept as the browns.  2010 sucked and was a slap in the face to the fans but at least there was a rationale behind it even if it wasn't a good one.

There's also this...

Brandon LaFell signed with the Bengals because he wanted to stay with a winner

Quote

 

While Cincinnati hasn’t exactly been New England in terms of postseason success, LaFell did see something there he wanted to be a part of.

“Once you get a taste of winning, you don’t want to take a step back and go somewhere where they’re trying to rebuild,” LaFell said, via Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “If you have options to pick and choose where you want to go, you pick and choose a team that still is winning, has a good quarterback, good system and good opportunity to win.”

 

 

Quote

He’s joining a team with plenty of offensive options, but LaFell has the kind of size to take advantage of mismatches inside, and ability to get downfield and make chunk plays. And perhaps the fact he caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl two years ago will help the Bengals become even more like the Patriots.

Pure snark from Gantt.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
