Lazy pick 6 and half assed tackle?

Falcons almost gave away the game as much as we did. Letting DJ run right by everyone was a great Hail Mary for us but that was also their D being stupid and doing the one thing they couldn’t do on our one weapon.

DJ ran past two defenders because he is an elite player. “Letting”

Look at our two backup QBs. Both top 5 picks. Not to mention your graphic doesn’t differentiate between top picks on their original team or whether they were acquired in free agency and then won with the second team. 

“look at these outliers I found that I was thinking of exclusively when I made my initial point before you inserted this hard data into the discussion, perhaps we should focus more on these outliers and disregard the data to better suit my confirmation bias”

There’s no guarantee that a top 5 QB will be any good. Odds are actually against it. How’s Trevor Lawrence doing? Teams that are always picking top 5 pretty much suck.

Do you use an umbrella when it’s pouring? Why, when there’s no guarantee you won’t get wet?

Why do people keep saying this? It’s logic. How’s Herbert (six is close enough), Burrow, Allen (ditto) doing? How about the old vets that went high in the draft? 

No body wants a guarantee, they want a chance, and a high percentage one at that. And there is no other avenue that gives a higher chance to have a franchise qb, especially on a rookie salary to win, than drafting them.

You’re not going to convince a worthwhile vet to come here. That literally played out already. So the only other option you’re looking at is finding a franchise QB in what? The later rounds of the draft? 

That’s definitely a more worthwhile topic talking about low chances and garuantees.

We are a QB away from being a good team. Despite how well PJ played late he missed so many throws in the first 3 quarters that should've had us comfortably in the lead. Add a Bryce Young or a CJ stroud to this squad and you have something you can really build on.

DJ isn’t the fastest WR in the league and when the other team is on their own 38 with 20 seconds and no timeouts, you don’t let a WR run by you in coverage. DJ did nothing but run straight and the defenders even slowed down. DJ made a great catch but he didn’t do anything elite. The Falcons had no business being behind him. They absolutely screwed up on that play.

There is something seriously wrong with you lol

    • If our franchise wasn’t so poverty, small market, and nationally irrelevant, big media would have eviscerated us long ago and it likely would have resulted in change quicker.  But here we are. 
    • I can see why the Browns organization and fans would have wanted to move on from Baker due to his demeanor, and attitude disposition without the results. Bryce however is the model citizen would be the perfect face of your franchise if he was performing on the field.  He's very likeable, so people think you bullying or hating on this kid when you point it out.  No he's just not performing bruh, that's it!!!  
    • I was listening to this because I went to bed last night: And Sam made a point about Bryce is a VIBES QB.  I think that works pretty well.  Against Atlanta, for whatever reason, he has "the vibe" but not against ATL, you get 5.0 YPA Bryce. I understand kids now a days are so different, but Bryce just doesn't have the IT factor.  Sure, he can make some clutch plays because he gets a feeling to do it.  The rest of the time, he's just there.  I'm just not a fan of that anymore. For me, it has much less to do with his physical limitations, but more to do with the desire.  Bryce uses his faith as a shield when questions about his confidence come out.  To me, that's a BIG tell.  Look, I'm not going to argue with folks about the role religion should play - you do you and be happy.  But when Bryce is saying "my confidence comes from the Lord" anytime someone asks him a question, what I hear is someone who really hasn't learned to face adversity on their own terms.  Again, I'm not trying to say that there's no room for faith, but there has to be a strong element of personal accountability in growth. Bryce has been well coached on what to say.  He's a genuinely nice kid.  My main concern is that it doesn't look like Bryce has had to overcome something on his own.  Almost like cleaning up ones own mess.  He just doesn't have the consistent fire to be THE DUDE.  As our GM could relate to: Bryce doesn't have that DAWG in him consistently.   Welp, that happens.  The NFL draft is a crapshoot.  Sometimes you make a brilliant pick, other times you WHIFF.  Bryce isn't a Jamarcus Russel mistake.  I think Bryce will be a great back up QB with some limited starter potential.  When that fire hits, he can be really good.  We've seen that.  The problem is the vibe, the fire, or the DAWG.  He just lacks IT.
