A fair number of people have abandoned their professional fandom based on the behavior of some players.  It's difficult to cheer for guys that beat their wives.

A lot of Cleveland seems to be okay with guys who harass and assault their masseuses.

Why're we having buyers remorse and trying to trade back. We traded up, stick your chest out and draft the future

It’s hard to tell what’s real. I imagine we have our guy we like, but will continue to evaluate until the draft.

For those who think Bryce Young is in the picture, this may be common knowledge but it is the first I have seen it in writing.  From the San Diego Newspaper: 

GM Scott Fitterer is swinging for the fences after missing on reclamation projects San Darnold and Baker Mayfield. Fitterer paid the premium for the pick, now he has to get it right. I’m thinking the decision comes down to Ohio State’s Stroud or Florida’s Anthony Richardson — both were exceptional at the combine in Indianapolis. New head coach Frank Reich has almost exclusively worked with prototypical sized quarterbacks in his career and made a point to declare Alabama’s Bryce Young’s size “is a concern” when he was asked in Indy. Despite dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, Stroud didn’t miss a beat last season — he was second in touchdown passes (41) and QBR (88.9) in 2022 — and nearly beat the two-time national champion Georgia Bulldogs in the semifinals with 348 yards and four touchdowns, while showcasing his scrambling ability (he’s a traditional pocket passer).

Saw that. It's been discussed a little.

Reich raved about Young's ability (same as many of us have) but yeah... 😕

Wasn't it Cleveland where that dude had three women chained up in his basement for years? Some guy named Castro.  Big Browns fan.  Member of the Dawg Pound. 

I made some of that up.

We are going to take a hard look at all of them.  If we said, "We like Stroud, but please, come fly to Charlotte for a visit and private workout," they would decline.

A lot could change in six weeks, but if the draft were tomorrow, we'd take Stroud. 

I would say the percent chance that we draft Stroud is about 80%.  Unless some bad news comes out, like he has women chained in his dorm's basement or he is friends with the Brown's QB, he should be OK.

I like Young (the person and player) a lot. I would not be disappointed to see us take him.  However, as soon as we did, I would start worrying about his durability.

And there is this:  My late father (a former Gamecock starter who caught 35 passes his sophomore year -the year I was born--so he knows his football) told me once, "The great QBs are those with the skill to take the team on their backs and drive the field when it is needed the most.  If they can't play from behind, they are not going to make in the NFL.  You have to be able to play the position when everyone in the stadium knows what you are going to do, but nobody can stop you."

I see Stroud as that QB more than I see Young.  Watch the Georgia game--he showed us all we needed to know about him.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
