I cannot stand that they moved the draft back into May. All the rumors and speculation is getting so annoying on sports talk and twitter.

Agreed, if this last year we would be waiting one more week.

Rizzos show is unlistenable. First they bitch because they aren't interviewing QBs in February. Now they are working out every single one and they complain because they are looking at top tier and middle tier guys. Assuming they think they are looking for tom Brady. Then they shit on Pettine for his comment about building a run game and top D is as important if not more than a game changing QB. Hello look at last years champs.

Has been that way since 2008. Just horrible.

Kiper's new mock draft has the Browns taking Johnny Football at 4.

It will be pandemonium in this city if Johnny Football is this team's new signal caller this fall.

Kiper just said it on ESPN that not since Bernie has this team had any kind of identity at the position, and bringing in Johhny Football would bring an excitement level to Sundays that an entire generation of Browns fans has never seen.

Draft a WR at 26 and then watch this offense explode in September. We would honestly go from the most boring to one of the most exciting teams in the NFL overnight. We would probably even get on national TV a few times because of the presence of Johnny Football. ESPN would have the trucks outside of Berea all summer.

Just imagine how electric it would be at First Energy Stadium (pun intended) with the Browns playing a nationally televised night game the first time Johnny Football improvises on a broken play and hits Gordon in stride down field for a TD.

I am just hoping Farmer doesn't try and outsmart himself by even considering taking Carr if John Football is on the board. It would be a mutiny in this city, and I would happily take part in it.

If we're keeping score, these are the two people who are most in my corner (wanting JFF):

Iggy
FW

I'm not sure what to say

We finally know why the NFL hasn't released the schedule yet. They are waiting to see where Johnny Football goes so that they can put that team on national tv each week. :rolleyes:

FWIW, I dont think anyone is AGAINST it, if the team goes that direction. But they also wont be marching with pitchforks if they go another direction.

There are definitely people on here against him, although probably not as strongly as we were with Weeden (pitchfork angry, to stick with your analogy lol)


I agree that most are pretty indifferent towards who we take as long as that person plays well.

I want JFF but won't be upset if we don't take him

I'm just happy that it appears we will be able to pick the Guy we want, whomever that is.

But personally I'm not in love with any of these guys, would probably rank them in the following Order: JFF, Bortles, Carr, Garrapolo

But I'd also have Clowney and Watkins ahead of any of the QB's.

I want Clowney, Barr, Mack, Watkins, Manziel, or Bortles.

End up with one of them, and I'll be happy.

I'm another one who wants Manziel but won't be mad if they go another direction. As long as it makes sense.

Speaking of the draft, you guys paying attention to the twitter ascent of Pitt's Tom Savage? Pretty hilarious

I think you're the only guy on the TBW train anymore, he seems to have totally died during this process, in the minds of the talking heads anyway.
