To me, the guy to keep an eye on is Garrett Nussmeir out of LSU

Spoken like a true Browns fan there

Selling the team? Lol

My personal favorite QB right now in this coming draft class is Garrett Nussmeir from LSU... I truly believe the dude has that moxie, it factor to be a star in the NFL and LSU has produced a couple of good QBs lately with Jayden Daniels and Joe Borrow. We will have to figure out a way to gain a 2nd round pick though.

First firing of the season... Potential DC candidate if Evero doesn't survive at the end of the season?

Anyone having with broadcast signal??? Fox Carolina seems to be struggling big time

I don't have X anymore... Can someone embed the tweets or summarize? Thanks!

I personally would like to see Zach Wilson and Drew Lock come in here. Wilson looked improved in Denver and Lock is someone who Canales is familiar with.

I am not saying it will happen but to say it couldn't, it's not as far fetched as you think.

Just a friendly reminder that Josh Rosen was traded for a 2nd and 5th round pick to the Dolphins in 2019. So anything is possible.

I don't even liaten to the show so I don't even know how it could be me

No?

I am probably going to get some flack for this but that's ok but... What if we traded for Milton from the Pats? I mean, he outplayed Maye all pre-season and and is dynamic, similar skill set and size to Cam and a rocket arm. The only knack on him is that he is raw but his upside and potential could benefit us for the future. Thoughts?

I am a Georgia fan and I can even tell you that Beck is not worth the #1 overall pick. Most of his success has come from the talent around. I think he will be better than Brycd but if his showing against Kentucky was any indication of the future, I just don't think he is worth the hype. Ewers or Ward maybe the better way to go but Ewers, with his injury history, scares me a bit. I don't know anything about Allar but everyone has said he is going to be good. As far as Sanders, I honestly haven't watched a lot of his game tape so cannot talk on him.

I wonder if the Patriots would be willing to trade Milton to us

At this point... Can't we just put in Dalton?

The reality of the situation is: #1: As many stated, reduce injury and have all starters 100% at the start of the season #2: Evaluating the back end of the roster for depth and rotation. And finally: #3: The first team already got their reps in the joint practice with the Jets so I am not sure how 10 reps or so will really make that much of a difference. The next game against Bills will probably be the game where some of the starters play but don't expect it to be a lot... Again, pre- season is really about evaluating the whole roster.

I have said since the beginning of last year to be patient with Bryce Young and I still hold to it. I am at least giving him this season, and maybe next depending on what improvement he has made. I think my main argument is that we can't keep changing QBs every time they don't play to your expectations initially... We got to give him time to let it play out and his rookie season is not enough to justify moving on. That said, if he fails to improve after this season, then I will talk about Beck, Ewers, or Sanders but until then... It's Bryce's time right now. (P.S. I am a Georgia fan so definitely would love to have Beck on our team but that is a discussion for another day)

Or maybe Canales secretly wants Plummer to succeed

Jake Luton was re-signed so he'll probably get some playing time in the 4th Qtr

Ok here is one video from this evening: Bryce to Johnson for a big gain 20240801_191105.mp4

Back from Fan Fest so I figured I would give my take. Keep in mind that I did not get a chance to observe every position group so please forgive me as I also had a very tired 4 year old that just started pre- K today... Practice, of course, started with individual group sections. In the corner I was in, I was able to get a good look at the offensive/defensive line group. The standout of that group was, believe it or not, DJ Johnson. Johnson was fairly quick off the line on several occasions. The scrimmage part came later where it was #1 Offense vs. #1 Defense to start out. I can tell you it was not the best day for the offense as they only produced one drive that lead to a TD. There were a couple of bright spots with Bryce threading the needle to Johnson up the middle for a big gain and then later again a nice sideline catch from Johnson as well. Admittingly, I did not watch much of the 2nd/3rd string play because, at this point in the scrimmage, my son was extremely tired and was ready to go home lol. I did make it to the end of the scrimmage portion where it ended with a TD drive lead by Jack Plummer.... I cannot remember who caught it but it was a pretty nice fade to the back corner of the end zone. Some other brief notes: - Andy Dalton did not play this evening... I read later he had a injury which is why Plummer got a lot of reps. - Legette struggled this evening... Missed a few drops and I don't even remember seeing him play a lot during the scrimmage. - Dave Canales is a genuinely nice guy and, while I didn't get an autograph from him, he was gracious enough to say hi to my son and I. - David and Nichole Tepper was in the house, as expected. Nichole was definitely active on the field talking to players and personnel but I hardly saw Dave. - The crowd was actually pretty decent considering that Fan Fest was at Clemson this year. I was totally expecting it to be a fairly quiet turnout but surprisingly, more than expected. The weather did actually pass over before the start of Fan Fest so it turned out to be nice and overcast but still quite humid. That's all I can really report on, I will try to post some photos and videos tomorrow but for now, it is lights out for me! Peace!

Another look at the crowd... For those asking
