Louisville Slugger

Ranking the browns fan base dead last is ridiculous. We have had 1 good season since half the fan base has been alive and we still have a loyal following. Here in Louisville there is a restaurant that has the brown backers (I only go to that place for UFC fights) and 2 other bars that have a large browns following. I find that pretty impressive that a team that has been the laughing stock of the league has presence in a city that's like 8 hours away.

Doesn't he have a bum knee that's going to hold him out of training camp or something? I was under the impression he would be available in the later rounds.

I remember seeing someone say that bringing in Kendricks frees up Collins to rush the passer. He was a really good DE in college. I think we are going to try and get the most out of his versatility

It's a bet then.

I was thinking the same thing. So he has to start 6 games or push. Top 3 passer rating among rookies. Win half his games 60% completion with 2:1 TD/INT ratio Take the ravens to the playoffs

This is a tricky one. Let's try and keep it to this year. If he doesn't play it's a push. If he gets 2 out of 4 on the following list I win. Lamar will be one of the top 3 passers in this rookie class. (Adjusted for playing time) He will win atleast half of the games he starts. He will complete atleast 60% of his passes with a 2:1 td/int ratio. He will take the ravens to the playoffs.

I wasn't comparing Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson as players I was talking about the effect they have on a team. Everything will revolve around Lamar when he takes over in Baltimore. He will shoulder the majority of the offense output. Lamar has thrown more NFL passes then RG3. Baylor ran that gimmicky offense and inflated his stats. If you can compare RG3 to Lamar you can compare him to Russell Wilson, Seneca Wallace, Tyrod Taylor, or any other mobile QB. Lamars running ability over shadowed how much he developed as a passer. As a freshman I didn't think he could cut it as a passer but when I went back and watched him develop, I think he can develop into a pretty solid passer

I'm down. What's the bet?

Comparing Lamar to rg3 is just lazy. They ran completely different offenses. Lamar has never been hurt. Lamar has shown he's not just fast but an elite ball carrier. The sports science guys even said only 75% of his rushing yards came from designed runs. He is a pass first QB. His speed absolutey translates into the NFL. I have no problem sticking my neck out and saying he will be a very good QB. He will have a cam Newton type effect on Baltimore

Look what Roman did with Alex Smith (who was a bust before he got his hands on him), Kapernick, and Tyrod Taylor. Unless Flacco plays lights out Lamar is going to take his job and he will be the star of sports center every week. Baker vs Jackson is going to be an interesting matchup for the foreseeable future.

You mean the entire Clemson defensive line that is projected to go in the first round? What about Bradley Chubb the guy that everybody wanted to be a Brown? Derwin James? The people he played with are just getting to the NFL too. I don't get why you hate on the man so hard. Halfway through the season he's going to be the talk of the NFL and make some of you guys look real silly

I have to say Jackson because the ravens did almost exactly what I wanted us to do. Hired Greg Roman (the guy who saved Alex Smith's career and made Colin Kapernick a household name) Sign Tyrod Taylor to give Jackson a year to learn. They have Flacco so no need Draft Lamar and wreck the league. I think another great fit is Nick Chubb. It's not hard to see him being this years Kareem Hunt. Our off-season was built around the power run game and Chubb is the perfect back for what we are trying to do.

I bet Jackson ends up being one of the top 2 QB in this draft over his career. Mayfeild = Drew Brees Jackson = Mike Vick Rosen = Sam Bradford Darnold = Blaine Gabbert Allen = Deshone Kizer

Dadi ran a 4.55 and had a 41 inch vertical so there is some athleticism to work with. His junior year he had 18 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks but his numbers dropped his senior year. He could suprise us and make the roster given how thin we are at LB. I think he is battling Alexander and Bello for that last LB slot.

I vaguely rememer thinking dadi nicholas was going to be a late round gem. Telfer wasn't going to make the roster after we signed Fells so I'm surrised we got anything for him. I was surrised the let him announce one of our draft picks because he wasn't going to make the roster
