Well, that's the reason I called him a shittier Goff. He can read defenses and has a good arm, and he's also pretty accurate.
On the one hand, our WR room is pretty unproven. On the other, the defense really pulled it together towards the end of last year. Geno vs. Darnold is basically a wash (seriously go look at their stats last year, they were alarmingly similar), but Kubiak is probably an upgrade in terms of playcalling over Ryan Grubb. And we play both South divisions this year, which means our schedule is easier since the only likely playoff teams in that group are the Bucs and maaaaaybe the Texans.
Jimmy Haslam may be the worst, archetypical "hands on" owner, ever. Every decision on that team that has had his fingerprints on it have been unmitigated disasters.
Haslam is 100% gameing for Deion next off-season because he'd love the chaos it'd bring. It's like the "okay that's just ridiculous" switch never flips on in his head and he's unable to learn from it. At least with the shit Jerruh pulls, you can at least see the demented logic there. All Haslam is accomplishing is turning the Browns into a clownshow without making any money off of it.
Surprised he and Jerruh don't have lolcow threads here. I mean Tony Khan has one (I think it's still in PG).
Single owners are probably too niche, but am aggregated "NFL Owners" lolcow thread could probably be healthy. I mean, how many are categorically retarded? 5? But when they fuck up, it's usually pure funny. Like Bud Adams giving fans the one-fingered peace sign. Him also falling in love with Vince Young and ruining his team for several years. Who can forget Robert Kraft getting a handjob from a shady massage parlor in a Florida mall? Or Al Davis (RIP) bringing in an overhead projector to fire a head coach he was mad at?
Can't forget Hugh Culverhouse, man was responsible for the Bucs' troubles in the early years. Also obligatory "Fuck you, Spanos".
You forgot Dan Snyder and his team's damn good culture.
I still don't really understand why they got Darnold, him and Geno are basically one in the same. Geno is mid/average sure but I saw some pretty subpar oline play from Seattle and that certainly doesn't help.
Believe me, it's on purpose.
IMO, the change was probably to help shift the culture. Geno was there during the old regime and could lean on say "well we used to do it this way". I'm not saying he did, or that there's any negative context alongside that, but just the nature of QB being such a focal point position and the coaching staff not wanting to worry about someone looking back on how things used to be when they were "good".
Ahh yes. A man who jewed too close to the sun.
Darnold is six years younger than Geno and is coming off a borderline MVP season. Darnold also had a better career as a backup than Geno did. I personally don't think Darnold is going to do well in Seattle or become a reliable starter the way he was in Minnesota, but on paper it comes across as the better investment. Worst case scenario he drives them into a terrible record in a year or two where they can then have better draft positioning to obtain a young QB out of college.
I'm with @Absolutego on a 10-7 season
The Seahawks have an out on the contract after 2026, and he costs less against the cap both of the years leading up to it than Geno's 2 year contract w/ the Raiders.
As soon as he started for the Browns he was sidearming and dirting everything.
That's what puts it into absolutely zany territory for me. Not just the shoulder issue but also tearing his ACL the year prior to the hold out. I get that ACL tears are no longer the type of injury that irrepairably "changes" anymore, but he seemed different after that. Then you roll up into the shoulder issues and hold out year and it's absolutely astonishing how hard the Browns hitched their future to him. Even if you don't consider his weird sexual deviancies and everything that comes with that, I just don't understand how you ignore the very blatant and obvious risks.
It was removed so fast I didn’t even see it lmfao. Jerry Jones deserves to be laughed at. I personally feel like watching NFL every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, along with listening to NFL podcasts everyday puts on me on that one bell curve meme, I’m just not sure which end I’m at.
The funny thing about the whole DeShaun Watson trade debacle is you can sum it up with one of those IQ bell curve memes.
Jimmy Haslam is fucking dogshit, there's no doubt about that. But if there's anyone who could legitimately give Haslam a possible run for his money when it comes to being hands-on and having the exact opposite effect of the Midas touch where everything turns to shit instead of gold, it would probably be Woody Johnson.
All I remember is the constant "Lol why are we featuring nigger ball" posts in the thread from faggots.
