Fify 

but id also add a couple bottom of the roster moves that won't help at all and the team will feel good about its options sans Olsen.

Bucky was cut by the team that drafted him and they didn't even put him on their PS. 

 

Even Beau Sandland made the Panthers PS, and he was awful.

Or we could just make better use of our WR's and actually give Dickson a chance when he's wide open instead of throwing it 10 feet over his head.

I understand what you're getting at, but this is what caught my eye when it comes to Barnidge:

  • Barnidge ranked 25th among 63 qualified tight ends last season with a 70.6 overall grade. His 76.0 pass blocking grade led all tight ends in 2016 but he ranked 50th with a run blocking grade of 43.6.
  • Barnidge’s 123 pass blocking snaps last season lead all tight ends as he allowed just three total pressures.
  • Barnidge wasn’t used much in the deep passing game in 2016, he ranked third among tight ends in 2015, however, in terms of both catch rate (60 percent) and receptions (six) on deep passes (balls that travel at least 20 yards in the air).
  • Over the past two seasons, Browns QB’s had a 111.1 QB Rating on 73 targets to Barnidge at the intermediate level (10-19 yards in the air).

So why is he still unemployed 2 weeks into the season?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
