You're right...it was his uncle

It was Mike Holmgren who was probably influenced by his time with Shurmur's dad, Fritz. I also think they liked how Shurmur "developed" Sam Bradford and thought he would do the same with Colt McCoy.

One of the greatest things about the win was seeing how happy JT was. Almost as if, maybe more than, he was still part of the team....which he will always be. Makes me wonder if he wishes he had just one more year in him.

Not sure about the odds, Steve, but those should be his last words as an NFL Head Coach.

I hear he's in the locker room downloading UPS and Home Depot applications...

No, not at all. You should just leave as it's clear this place isn't for you. There was exactly 0 that was productive in your post and it's not like anyone cares what you think or swallow.

So let me understand this. Despite (allegedly) living in Las Vegas, you can find nothing better to do than go onto a forum for a team you couldn't care less about and try to bait people you don't know, and who also couldn't care less about you, into your uninformed and thoughtless conversation. Attention seeking that pathetically transparent is more than just a little sad.

How will we evaluate Mayfield as better than Taylor before the start of the season? As we all know, preseason success is no indication of success during the actual NFL season. Taking this into account, I would agree with Jackson that, barring disaster, Tyrod should be the starter. Not necessarily for the entire season as I don't think that's likely. But I don't think that the evaluation can reliably be made early on. So, it's good for Baker to watch and learn the NFL game and learn. That said, I expect he will be the starter by week 6-8. I don't think this transition would cause controversy. It would be a completely sensible way to move forward towards our future QB..

Hey Gip, are you doing the "Brick" from "The Middle" repeating under his breath thing??

So what your saying is...even the fates are against us. Thanks, I feel worse now... :-o

How does an 0 and 16 team get the the 5th hardest schedule when New England gets one of the easiest??? WhatTheMuthaSchmuckingPhuc!

Janis really stood out at the combine and I wished the Browns would have drafted him. He's got size, speed, great hands and runs great routes. So with all this, it was never clear to me why he wasn't the number 2 behind Nelson. I don't think he ever achieved his potential because he wasn't used properly. Sure hope the Browns use him the right way and not waste him on ST.
