LOL..LOL...LOL

You forgot to mention that Forte compiled those numbers in 4 years. Lewis did it in 2. Tee it back up. You get a mulligan. Like I said, Lewis>>>>>>>>>> Forte in college. I guess surpassing HOFer Dorsett as a freshman means nothing doesn't it?

Try doubling Lewis' Numbers (although it would be a lot more than double playing as a junior and senior) and then get back to me.

Please I have nothing else to do right now. explain way.

Well expect think of your daughter
You need to switch from Percocet to Oxycontin. You are worse at math than Lshlup...and that's saying something. Listen carefully. Percentages are clear. The better you are in college, the better your chances are of success in the NFL. If you can't grasp that, then I feel sorry for you. You can't argue it..you can't debate it.

Maybe you should google the bell curve and learn a little bit about statistics.

Citing an example of a Tom Brady does not change the laws of statistics.
Number 15 seeds beat number 2 seeds about once every 10 games or so. Your argument is beyond lame.

Footwedge at his best, if the facts don't support his case, he lies.

If his case were valid, most if not all of the all-time college leaders in a statistical category would be superstars. Out of the top-15 all-time college rushers, how many superstars? Two. How many with little to no success? At least three depending on where you draw the line. The rest were decent to pretty good. Add it up and it translates to a nearly zero correlation.

Passing leaders? One in the top 10 that could remotely be considered a "star" in the pros (Rivers). Must go 40 deep to find a superstar (Manning).

Not really. It's blatantly obvious what he is doing. Therefore it's nullified 100% of the time.

Btw Gase informed the Browns to move on without him. My guess is Quinn is our coach. It would be a good hire IMO.

Gase has called the browns and withdrawn his name from the HC search. I think that is a blessing. So is it down to Quinn and Penttine?

As a steeler fan i was hoping they would have hired Gase because I think that would have been a failure.
Quinn would be a great fit and probably their best option. He will bring swagger back to the team and franchise. Bring in an offensive guy to take Manziel or whatever QB is drafted to the next level and they are competing against the bengals for the crown.[
Remember, Cincy and mIkey boy brown were the laughingstock until they hit a HR with the draft with Green and Dalton. If the browns draft right and bring in quinn it just may be their ticket.

I think it will come down to whom they draft though.

You have to factor in the strength of conference they played in

Lol, anyone surprised this dipshit poked his head on this site/thread as soon as Gase announced he didnt want to be the HC?

The article is just a typical media douche bag (something you have in common turdo), taking a typical cheap shot at Cleveland. The only guy on that list that they legitimately wanted, and missed out on is Whisenhunt. Nice fail though.

They wanted to interview him. Interview does not = hire. A lot of inside reports (not the BS you read), said he was far from the top choice and Quinn was in the running for it. Nice fail though. I would take Quinn any day of the week.

You are just being the typical douche you always are. Can't wait for you take another hiatus from this site, because somebody made you butt hurt.

The article was about people on their wish list who didn't take the Browns job. I told you when they first fired Chudzinski that this was going to happen.

No, they are people they extended out to. That does not equate to a wish list. Considering you went to Marietta, I don't know what fail job you have, but when most legit employers ask you for an interview, it doesn't mean you are getting the job lolfail. Haslam said they were going to interview as many people as they can so they can get it right. What part of that can't your understand? Do you realize McDaniels turned the job down, because the Browns TOLD HIM he wasn't the front runner. You are trying too hard to be right, when you are never right. Just stop.

But hey, if you want to be a douche, leave the site for a month, and come back to pretend you are right again, be my guest. I am just happy you are starting to realize everyone here rather see you never post.

Edit: A lot of those names were never even confirmed by the Browns either. Keep the fail amok train going.

Ok, yeah you are right. The Browns front office has this situation totally under control
