ODB, Watkins, Evans and Benjamin we know about.

But, when Wayne retires, Moncrief will be a beast with Luck throwing to him.

Mathews and Bryant have been pretty damn impressive as well.

Not sure whats not to like about the class. Its is deep and top heavy all in one.
And you didn't even name Brandin Cooks, Allen Robinson, John Brown, Allen Hurns, or Davante Adams, lol. So much depth in this class.

Gotcha.

Yeah, best ever is ridiculous to say after 10 weeks.

But, it has the chance to be special. There are some really good looking WRs out there.

This shows your colts bias in unreal fashion. Instead of naming cooks, Robinson, etc, you name moncrief

At no point was I naming a list in any kind of order. Simply throwing out names off the top of my head.

In listing him, probably lol. Since he is on the Colts, I always think of him when thinking about future WRs

If I were to rank them, he would be around 10th though.

I didn't say best rookie class ever. I said best collective rookie season ever.

True or False: The Browns would be undefeated if they had Josh Gordon.

False. They would've found a way to lose one of those. I think he may have been the difference maker in the Pittsburgh/Baltimore games but Hoyer was so epically bad in the JAX game that I don't think even Gordon could've saved him. Although, Gordon may have opened up the running game a little against JAX. 8-1, possibly.

Now if we were talking Johnny Football, they would've been 11-0 in those nine games. :rolleyes:

True or False: Cleveland would be 0-9 with Manziel at QB.

Incomplete because I think Hoyer would've taken over, due to injury to Manziel, by now.

False. they played the steelers twice so would beat them once no matter the QB

I got that. I don't think others did based on the conversation that followed.

I wouldn't say 0-9, but let's make the vast assumption that Manziel would be healthy for 9 games straight in the NFL while being a scrambler (big assumption). I'd say we'd be 3-6 or 4-5 at best right now with a rookie QB.

8-1. If you're 6-3 with the mediocre quarterback, you have to figure 1 or 2 more wins with a stud.

Because that was the last time the Hoyer/Manziel situation was actually a debate.

Except for two people. For them, it will be an eternal debate that will go on long after Hoyer is no longer a Brown.

Next year, when the team is, say 1-3 with Johnny, nothing will be his fault. It will be all on Pettine and the front office for starting Hoyer and causing unrepairable damage to Johnny's psyche.
