S&L and Sleeper are the biggest douche bags on this site. Read through any thread and all they do is troll. I'm pretty sure the highlight of their day is starting crap on message boards.

THAT'S why you got defriended. You're MUCH dumber than most of us thought. No wonder you're getting the fuck beat out of you randomly, on a regular basis by strangers...:rolleyes:

I don't mind BR, he posts articles that provide information that I don't have time to look for on my own, and the only problem I've had with one of his posts is his hypocritical one regarding the offense around McCoy, and even then I understand what he's trying to say.

But if there weren't stupid, off topic, irrelevant arguments, this wouldn't be an interwebz messaging board. I just want to see anyone take anything personally.
Good God yall...the attorney wannabee is a sore loser!!. How about that folks. The guy got admitted into SEC law school and doesn't know the definition of "percentile". What a hootall.

Your use of the term "failwedge" is oh so cute. Face it LSP, you suck at this.

Whenever you're done barreling through daddy's law school cash, try Phoenix U for a mathematics remedial class. Even lawyers need to know how check books work.

None. Maybe Osweiler in the 4th/5th but he'll probably be gone by then.

Footwedge in all seriousness do you have a college degree?

6th out of 25 is the 76th percentile, not the 6th. Numbers 26~infinity don't matter because they don't exist. I'm truly horrified that you can't comprehend such a simple mathematical idea.

Also, I asked you to name my "losing" argument, something you still haven't done.

Nothing. I really have no idea what they are going to do. They're fucked if you ask me. Whiffed on RG3. If they draft Tannehill at 4 it will RUIN this franchise, imo.

Unless H&H have a "wink/nod" deal with Lerner, they are in a pickle. Don't likely have their franchise QB and are facing a schedule with likely 1-3 wins. By my math 5 wins to 4 wins to 1-3 wins does not bode well for this regime. If they move forward with McCoy as the starter, and HEAR me out, and they win 1-3 games, somebodies head is gonna roll. If they were to start a rookie (Weeden, etc) that would at least buy the staff another year with the "rookie QB" excuse.

What some may not realize is they could use one of those picks on a Weeden, throw him into the fire on a "trial run", see if he looks good moving forward with as their QB and if not still have a high enough pick to draft a QB next year. If they move forward with McCoy (doing nothing about the QB position) and he fails, it may not be as easy to explain to Lerner. From that interview he (Lerner) had earlier in the year, I didn't get the feeling he was a McCoy fan.

I want no part of Wilson, Cousins, Kellen Moore, etc. That's no "competition" for McCoy. That's just handing him the job again.

So you don't want any QB from this draft (and by that I mean including Tannehill or Weeden at pick 37 or earlier)? I'm probably not interpreting your post right

As McEnroe said..."you cannot be serious". Or can you?

Let's review shall we?

I claim that Pomeranz is in the top 10 percentile. You claim he wasn't. I showed a link showing that he was the top 6 pitcher prospect. Author lists top 25 pitchers only. And....somehow you think that my argument is flawed? Are you serious?

Listen up kid...percentiles are based on blocks of 100....which I proved in the subsequent post. So I ask you again....what happened to numbers 26 through 100?

Percentiles do not equal percentages...never have...never will. Buy a dictionary and learn.

So what if a QB with a second round grade (like Foles) is there in the 4th, do you pull the trigger? I feel like you have to.

You are so dumb, and this post is wrong. You have to be a dumbass redneck, that's the only explanation for how ignorant you are.


Just in case you feel the need to look even more stupid, your link on that thread was for fantasy rankings, not quality rankings.

http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7547690/mlb-top-100-prospects-2012-mike-trout-bryce-harper-more

In that list, Pomeranz is 50th overally and the 25th listed pitcher. Regardless, he's nowhere close to top 10th perctile, whatever incorrect definition you use.


To the rest of the OC, I'm sorry that I had to waste your time schooling this idiot.

IMO the only QBs worth a shit in this year's draft are Luck and RG3. I think Tannehill could have a future if handled right, but in the era that the NFL operates in, its simply not in the cards to develop him correctly. Since he'll be a top 10 pick, he's going to thrown to the fire early and probably fail. Osweiler has the tools, but I worry that he's DA 2.0. Wilson, Moore stand zero chance of anything in this league IMO. Wilson may be a back up for a team, but what's the point of drafting a QB that's not even as good as Seneca Wallace? Lindley of SD St. has the talent, but I'm very weary of any QB in college that doesn't display the accuracy needed to compete in the NFL. Lindley fits this bill, his accuracy is all over the place. I dont see this has something he can improve in the NFL if he couldnt do it in college against worse competition.

Cousins doesn't impress me, and I don't see him as ever being even equal to McCoy, so what's the point? I watched a ton of his games, probably more than any other QB in this draft actually, and I have yet to come away even thinking, that guy could start in the NFL.

I'm not a Weeden fan for various reasons, 28 yrs old, spread offense, HORRIBLE pass defense of the conference, and his abysmal performance while under pressure. You have to be able to perform while being blitzed in the NFL, that's a given. He has yet to display the skill necessary to do this, thus I have my doubts of him succeeding the NFL. How anyone can be IMO is kidding themselves and having "faith" in something he has yet to display/develop.

Foles I know the least about in this draft of the higher caliber QBs. Thus I don't have much of an opinion of the kid.

The browns have 13 picks in this draft, with a regime that has been proven to find starters in the draft. With that many picks, and 3 in the top 40, there is no doubt in my mind that we get some starters to fill the holes(OLB, RB, WR, RT). You wonder why people give you shit, and why you took a break from this thread, you think our entire season and draft is based on finding a QB to replace McCoy. The steak dinner will be coming this year BR, and I can't wait.

I do agree with you though, those steeler uniforms are fucking awful LOL

I think they will do something at the QB position but I don't think they are going to wait until the 3rd round or later for a project like Moore, Wilson, etc. Waste of a pick. Backups at best. Osweiler is probably a likely backup too.

I agree with previous posts that in a perfect world they could fast forward to next years QB class because it's looking to be deep. Problem is, unless they have that "wink/nod" agreement in place with Lerner they are going to have to be in "win now or at least try "mode. Otherwise, for those who have been harping on "continuity", we may be looking at ANOTHER rebuild.
