calfoxwc Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Njoku could have been a terrific player, but Canton Mike and I, and others, have seen him walk around without his shirt, hardly being interested in what the coach was saying. He has the typical terrific athletic ability, he's very fast, etc etc etc. But when it comes to being a *football player*, he likes a football paycheck, but the dropped passes, in training camp and games, and not being a good willing blocker... nope. My opinion, he's found out the expectations from this new coaching staff that KNOWS what they are doing, and he wants to bail. It's pretty bad when your punter is a hell of a lot more a *football player* than your first round TE. Poor drafting. No heart for the game. https://www.brownsnation.com/jamie-gillan-shows-off-impressive-offseason-transformation/ and yes, we get a first round pick for him, I'm good ! but we won't. So, keep him. and if he holds out the entire season, let him. Good article on the expectations involved in trading Njoku https://heavy.com/sports/2020/07/browns-david-njoku-trade-value/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead.. a young 23 year old, average at best TE, agree's to sign his gifted* 5th year option?..🤔 B.) Gave the Packers a 4th already, to move up 4 slots to draft David.. TE- OJ Howard seems fair..or at least the 4th back, that could turn into 3rd if David does.. yada/yada/yada? C.) Reguardless of the fact that David just saw every zoom meeting & formations of Stef's full playbook🧐... He just may not see a future fit as a TE2? He'd still get plenty of rep's in Stef's offense.. Butt, He also just told the 53, he did not want to play with* them... seem's like we've been here before with agent Drew Rosie- palms? (Pryor/Crow/Duke/Njoku)...

Quote The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.The term lends a scientific name and explanation to a problem that many people immediately recognize—that fools are blind to their own foolishness. As Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man, "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." https://www.verywellmind.com/an-overview-of-the-dunning-kruger-effect-4160740 Nailed it. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been inconsistent during his time with the Browns, and not worth a first round pick. It's the people who blindly support players on the Browns one day, then trash them the next that I was commenting on. There's people on here who two days ago would have wrote glowing things about Njoku, who now are ripping him. That's what strikes me as funny. I get why Browns fans would like him one day, and not like him the next. It's the people who would argue that Njoku is a potential Pro-Bowler on Monday, then a hack who will be lucky to be in the league in two seasons the next.

Your Honor, I saw some good things out of him when Baker was a rookie. Since my favorite team drafted him - of course I wanted him to succeed. Why wouldn't I? Now for the reasons I find it easy to say "Don't let the door hit you in the asss on the easy out." Last year, there was some speculation he was unhappy and dropping passes on purpose in practice to show people he wanted out. I understand he was also playing through injury and he dropped passes in the 2nd Cincy game. But when you have to start guessing if it's crappy attitude or sloppy concentration from a 1st round guy fans expect to be a professional - it starts to change the perception. Then came the Coaching change which was a fresh start for everyone. I have no problem if he wants out; but don't tell us a few months ago you have a refreshed feeling and you're excited with new opportunities under the new staff. Then, come right back to the same "I want out." Gas to fire, Rosenhaus is his agent and we're in the middle of a Pandemic reading this. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is this okay for me/anyone else as a fan to expect a better response to adversity than what unfolded out of this 1st round talent/commitment? If not, tough shittt! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigalow80 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm interested to see what Berry does here. Njoku has no leverage. He's under contract for 2 more years. Plus, he was hurt last year so his stats aren't exactly glowing. I would tell Rosenhaus that they are welcome to seek a trade with another team but if it doesn't start with a 2nd round pick, then I'm not interested. It's not that I think Njoku has that sort of value right now, as I don't think the Browns could get more than a 4th rounder, 3rd at best, but it's setting the standard for future players with this regime. In addition, there is no reason to cave to him. If there is one position group on this team that is easily replaceable, it's the tight ends. yes, stefanski loves them, but that also means he can develop them. Look at MN last year. No 1000 yard TE and none caught more than 75 balls. It was spread out. Plus, i think players such as Carlson are just as effective in this scheme I have seen various scenarios, all are speculation and manufactured with no credibility) but I'm not sure which is realistic: Njoku and a 3rd rounder for Ngakuoe? still have to pay Ngakuoe Hassan Riddick plus a 4th for Njoku? Trading for potential Jamal Adams for Njoku and 2021 & 2022 2nd rounders? Still have to pay Adams Njoku to cowboys for a 4th rounder...I've seen this deal for Washington as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I like some of Njoku's "Skill set" if we can call it that.... He's got decent size and speed...Some TE's take as long as 4-5 years to get into their groove.. I mean.. Let's look at Zydrunas Ilgauskas for example... After all of those foot injuries... Did anyone honestly thing he would turn in a championship career?.. I certainly did not... However.. Since it was Rosenhaus he chose... He basically inked his football career death.....
