I like fullbacks.

Running backs like fullbacks.

Hooper will be a good player for us I see what the new coach wants to do clear as day expect a ton of sets with Juice and odell, hooper and the chief and both chubb and hunt on the field at the same time.

That sounds absolutely terrifying for a defense.

Great move. Excellent veteran backup QB with the ability to fit in admirably should Baker go down. Familiarity in the new system. Fantastic addition to the QB room.

Can’t complain about this at all.

Now this is a solid signing. I’m a fan.

Is Austin Hooper a good player? Yes.

Is he the best TE in the NFL? No.

So, can someone tell me why we’re paying him like it?

Was Berry in charge when the Browns were 1-31

I’m curious as to why you think Berry is in charge now?

I would also like to state, officially and for the record, that I really, really hope I’m wrong.

I’ve never wanted to be more wrong in my life. I can’t stand the thought of being right on this. It makes me physically ill just to think about.

I hope I’m ill informed, misunderstanding, going full-Soup and just being completely ridiculous. I…[Read more]

The Browns have REPEATEDLY said analytics is just one more tool in the tool box and not the be all end all but some people refuse to accept that

The guy who was behind 1-31, because of analytics, is once again completely in charge.

That, is why I refuse to accept that.

My favorite line from that article:

“right now; all the Browns actions so far suggest the Browns are back to thinking that saving cap space and waiting until whenever to start competing is the soul of data-driven wisdom.”

Fuck me.

It’s not just me saying this stuff.

But, none of that applies to the NFL.

I think you’re failing to understand that I completely agree with you.

“Moneyball” is simply a best-bang-for-the-buck system based on statistical analysis. And I agree with you 100% that it doesn’t apply to the NFL.

My point is that we’re doing it anyway.

Do you see my frustration with…[Read more]

Moneyball doesn’t even make sense in the NFL.

You’re exactly right.

Now you can see why Soup and I are flipping out about it. You’re right, it DOESN’T make any sense.

At all.

Yet here we are. Doing it.

The only case that could be made in favor of getting rid of Kirksey is his injury history. It is pretty significant, and I’ll admit n…[Read more]

This team is run by morons.

Lmao.

Tony is getting torched on twitter. What a fuckhead.

He deserves it.

At least The Browns had already informed him that they wouldn’t be resigning him before this happened.

It’s probably why he was buying and selling the weed lol. If you can’t keep a job with the Cleveland Browns you really don’t have much else to offer. Getting fired from the Browns is like getting fired as a line cook from Denny’s. On your way o…[Read more]

Shooter, I just googled it and for top 10 picks, the fifth year option value is the transition tag value, which is the average of the top 10 players salaries at their respective positions. For QBS, it was 22 mil and DEs it was ~15 mil last year. Which is only going to go up. So, if you go those routes, that’s still 37 million your eating up with t…

Though, since both are first round picks, both have fifth year team options on their contracts.

I was including the 5th year option.

Also……the franchise tag is an option as well. They could not sign Myles to long term deal next year, exercise his option, STILL not sign him, tag him, and THEN extend him.

Highly unlikely, not prudent, and…[Read more]

How does everyone of your arguments about Carrie not apply to Vernon? The hypocrisy is unreal.

True but at least I admit it.

Also at this point arguing over Carrie is pointless because he’s gone so who gives a fuck really? He’s gone it’s over and there’s really not much left to discuss on that front lol.

As for Vernon……….I dunno. He…[Read more]

Olivier Vernon is making $13m this year. He’s going to be resigned or released soon, no way we’re keeping him at that price.

Well I’m okay with the 3 sacks and 7 tackles he made last year no longer being a part of our team.
