Cousins reworks deal.

It can get real dark real quick though when we collect the whole set by bringing in Tua.

Championship.

While I do agree with most of this, and that Canales got the job because he said yes and that he would work to turn Young around, it wasn't a case of him being the absolutely only 1 for the job. Jim Harbaugh supposedly reached out about the job opening but it never went anywhere. Everyone can speculate why, but it certainly might have been a little bit about keeping Young in place.

You all are looking at this the wrong way. No one wants Geno Smith. Everyone would prefer Mac Jones or Jameis Winston. To replace Young. Not going to happen. We need to replace Dalton, because that's how you can get Young replaced. Dalton is like a subtle, whispered reason that Young can't be replaced. "Well Young has to play, look who his backup is. You know Dalton can't play anymore."

In fairness, I think most of us would be fine with Dalton being released as soon as the season is done.

It's not like we can't ask him.

I'd rather have Geno instead of Dalton standing back there. Not great, but Dalton needs to just ride off into the sunset, or be launched into the sun. Whatever works out best.

Young is a master of the 2 yard pickup so it just becomes a natural skill for him. It's his mutant superpower to pass the ball for 2-3 yards. Uncanny!

You're free to start a praise thread, hallelujah!

I don't dislike him, but after this past season, maybe his consulting should should stick to giving advice about media appearances and uniform combinations. Same with Capers..and his..hair.

I do think Jones is under contract. That said, there needs to be an infusion of new blood in the qb room.

I hear you. I can't give him all the credit that you have though. I just can't. We beat Dallas and Miami because of Rico running insanely good. So that puts the count at 6 wins. The Packers lost their leading receiver early in that game. Maybe they overlooked us too. Who knows. Rico ran well that game too. Maybe half credit for that game. 5.5 wins is much closer to that 4 win mark many of us had at the start. It is hard to say for sure. The offense has been dreadfully bad though down the home stretch.

Dopes and clods. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

Yeah, I had that in the original post, but I thought I should keep it concise. It's not a good look though, even though it was before the dog stuff surfaced. We are in danger of running off the rails here. I think Vick has served his sentence and should be eligible to be gainfully employed by any business or organization that would be acceptable of having a felonious convict for animal cruelty as a representative.

Yeah it is our dumb luck that we plucked Fitterer from that organization.

We really should find an offense-minded coach. These defense guys are just boring clods and don't understand the modern game.

Well he has also won a National Championship, and while it's not a 2nd Superbowl, it is an accomplishment. The funny thing is I think there were expectations that the Raiders were going to be significantly better this year. Maybe not division winner better but not 1st overall pick in the draft bad either.

Just curious, where are we at in big-time throws?

He just got a little caught up in the moment. They've had far worse. Michael Vick. He killed dogs. For sport. For fun. He killed dogs. Count Choculas last dance is minor compared to all the Vick stuff.

It's ok. I liked it when Count Chocula went down to dance on the sidelines of the Superbowl when he thought his shitbird team had it in the bag. But really, I experienced some personal growth that night. I never thought in my lifetime I could seriously claim to be a New England Patriots fan, but in that short little window of time, ever so brief, let's fuging go, Brady!

He doesn't have the heart for it. He'd keel over trying to swing for the drum, and oh dear, wouldn't that be sad.

That is very cool. Whether you like Watson and his associated deal, or don't like him and think it was the worst thing ever, it is entirely your opinion, and some people will agree with you, and some will not, and some may not have much of an opinion at all. It is a little short-sighted to blame their problems exclusively on Watson, and probably a bit unnecessary to tie a coach to that entire thing. Certainly, that mistake is looming very large. I don't know a bunch about how the Browns operate, but typically a coach is not out there pursuing free agents, negotiating deals and orchestrating trades, but the Browns could be unique in that, and maybe that explains some of their problems.

I can't imagine the drunken chaotic altercations at Waffle House inside a NFL stadium on Sundays. Every building would have to come with a judge and jail like in Philadelphia.

Not exactly. When Modell packed up and moved to Baltimore, it was stipulated that the name, colors and far more crucially, the history and records would remain in Cleveland for when they received a new team. Personally, I think they should've dropped the name and colors, but that's me. History and records however absolutely did not travel on down to Baltimore. True story.
