The Gipper Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Philly also only has one first rounder along their line, unlike us. The Browns only have one first rounder on their line: Joe Thomas. (not counting Erving who is out) Bito round 2. Greco/Bailey/Pasztor...who knows what round they were taken in.

MasterDog Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 A good QB usually can off set some of the inefficiency of the Offensive Line. (See P. Manning and T. Brady over the years). The ability to understand blitz and what the defense throws at you cannot be under estimated. Wentz did 2 things really well. 1) He audibled and put the offense in a better opportunity 2) He was able to slide and BUY time (see the 72 yard pass to Sproles).

Furious Styles Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 You know, the ol' Ghoolster was right about one thing: we fucked up by not drafting Paxton Lynch. That dude is really tearing it up in Denv... ...oh.Just because Lynch and Goff aren't playing doesn't mean they aren't any good. If Bridgewater doesn't get hurt, Sam Bradford is STILL the QB in Philly and you guys would be saying how dumb they were for trading up for Wentz.Wentz would be a backup like Lynch and Goff.

browns52 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Both Wentz and Prescott look really good. One thing I noticed though, is that they have all day to stand back and pass. It is unreal how long they have. I also realized the wr and te's that they get to trow to. I'm not sayong the are not good or they won't be good, but damn they got lucky with some talent around them. dallas has the best ol in the nfl...the eagles ol is ok.....what i see from wentz is he has some of big ben's talent...great arm and he can sidestep the rush in the pocket and make a play..he's going to be a good one...the only good thing is at least he is not playing in the afc north...

And if my aunt had balls she'd have been my uncle Sal instead of Sally. Fact is Wentz does play and he plays very well, far above the norm for a rookie QB. So adjust to it.

I mean... We don't have fucking Carson Wentz, so let it go. Jesus. What we do have is a 3rd round pick who in 3 weeks went from not even sniffing the field to starting, on the road, and was one weiner-ass kicker from winning the game. That same QB led a team to over 400 yards of offense. There's a lot to be positive about, crying over spilled milk is a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Wentz looks like real deal. Came from a pro style offense, has football smarts and Browns are nuts for trading that pick away!

jiggins7919 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 It's not crying over spilled milk, it's pointing out how our new front office may have completely screwed our franchise over for ANOTHER ten years. Kessler fought his ass off, but in my opinion, he doesn't have the athletic ability to make it as a starter. Think of it THIS way...who would you compare him to in the NFL today that is successful? And I mean TODAY'S NFL. Don't say Joe Montana or something like that. The game is different now. To be fair, just because a player doesn't compare to successful players, it doesn't mean that he CAN'T thrive, but I do think it's worth mentioning. Kessler looked extremely slow, and his arm didn't look great. Maybe he can overcome these things, but I just don't think so. It's probably safe to say that we're picking a QB at the top of next year's draft, and let's hope to hell that he works out. Hey, I hope I'm wrong, I really do. But if I was a betting man, I'd put money on Cody being a backup at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDog Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have said it 2 years back. That Manziel pick set us back 4-5 years. We are in year 3 of that mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I remember all the wannabe NFL scouts in here saying he wasn't NFL ready, he comes from North Dakota State, blah blah blah. He's the real deal without a doubt. The Browns have proven once again what a shitty team they are picking talent, no matter who is in the front office it seems. I was as skeptical as any regarding Wenz, but have to admit that he looks solid and the game/speed are not too much for him..... Let's see how he does now that he's put enough on tape for DCs to figure out how to stop him. If he continues to look like a mini Big Ben, then yea, it's safe to say that the Browns swung and missed, but we're not there quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but after watching him dismantle Pitt I'd have to say he's well on his way down the home run path for Philly (and a strikeout for the Browns).

cnhnyy Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Unlike Dak who has Eeke, Dez, Witten and best OL in the NFL, Wentz has to work with below-average support and the eagles scored the most points so far. I mean, other than Wentz, I am not sure I would exchange any eagles offensive player with ours. Maybe Spiroles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes, the Manziel pick really hurt us. At the end of his playing days with us, I felt that he was making some improvement reading the field and making plays. I believe he still struggled in the red zone (as we always do), but you could see the talent when he played. We always clung to the hope he would figure it out, but I think most of us knew he would never be a long term solution. That pick hurt us, and continues to do so.

But if I was a betting man, I'd put money on Cody being a backup at best. Here's everything in a nutshell. 1) Carson Wentz looks very good, and we could have drafted him. 2) We did not draft him, but drafted a guy in Coleman instead who looks impressive. Hopefully the hand comes back fine, but he certainly has shown promise. 3) We drafted a guy in Cody Kessler who all along was supposed to be the guy to develop for a while. Because the Browns are cursed, he gets thrown to the wolves, on the road, and looks good. Not Wentz good, but "for a third round dude who wasn't supposed to really play this year" type of good. We will certainly see how that manifests over the next several weeks. 4) That same Kessler dude put up 400 yards of offense-not a bad day would you say? We very well might have missed on Wentz, I'm not arguing with you that. BUT, I don't understand how you guys can't see that the guys we did draft, for arguably the first time in Browns history, actually appear to have talent across the board. We have rookies in their first starts making pick-6's. We have 3rd string rookie QB's putting up impressive offensive stats. We developed a guy in TP who was left for dead. Point is, I'm very impressed so far with the strategy of the team and the players. They are going to suck this year, but that's the whole point.
