But still, selling a single strong safety as the big signing to bring the fans back in droves doesn't cut it for me lol well, OL don't generally WOW so maybe they can still pick up some of them and he's not supposed to bring the fans back in droves, he's supposed to help the team win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go after Houston if I could simply b/c he would not count against the Comp pick formula (right now we'll get a #4 for losing Crowder and probably a #6 for losing Nsenke). If we want to sign an edge guy that impacts our comp picks, Golden is a good get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got some good young pieces, but let's not start crowning them SB champs just yet. This was a team that had a refrigerator locked for a year and a half in anticipation of their first win.

Of those still available I've got EDGE Markus Golden, ILB Gerald Hodges, CB Ronald Darby. Those are really some of the best of the rest available at 12:24am on 3/13. I've missed some I know.

Mayfield OBJ Landry Chubb Garrett Bitonio Hunt Ward Schobert They won as many games as us last year. I'm not sure where this cavalier attitude from some of our fans comes from, we haven't won a damn thing in a long time and when we have, we haven't been able to replicate it the following year. And we don't have a core of talent like that. But sure, keep making jokes about refrigerators being locked up in anticipation of a win. That's what matters.

And they still have this draft to go with a boatload of picks. Big difference between the Browns and Redskins is that the Browns decided to build draft capital 2-4 years out in order get that core group of players to make a championship run. The Redskins are perpetually stuck in the now. Heck most of our fans are too (Look at the draft thread - post after post hoping we can trade down for extra 2ds and 3rds in 2019 but very rarely a post hoping we can trade down and get 1sts next year or in 2021).

Yep. Didn't realize they had a lot of picks this year. How many? EDIT: Just found it. 8 picks, with multiple picks in round 3, 4 and 5. They had 10 before the OBJ trade today.

The point was, the other guy said they're "way better than us" I said how. They haven't won more games, haven't been to the playoffs, haven't done anything, more than we have except lose more games, so how exactly are they better? They've got some good pieces and may be better ON PAPER, but the games haven't been played yet. ****, for all the stars they have they could just as easily struggle as the other recent "dream teams" Redskins and eagles being two prime examples. You guys like to **** on every move this team makes while holding up a franchise like the browns as a shining beacon of "doing it right". They haven't done a damn thing yet is the point I'm trying to make. So stop anointing them before they've actually done anything. Do I think this team is perfect? No. Did I ever say everything is just fine and dandy? No. Guess what, there's at least 20 other teams that can compare names and lay claim to winning 7 games. At the end of the day it comes down to winning a super bowl. Every team is trying to do that every year. If there was one "right way" to do it, there'd be 32 teams doing the exact same thing and they'd all be SB champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was one "right way" to do it, there'd be 32 teams doing the exact same thing and they'd all be SB champs. How are they better? Would you prefer our roster or theirs? I think anyone that prefers the Redskins roster to the Browns roster isn't interested in being objective. I never said they've done anything, no one has, outside of building a really nice core. You seem to think that anyone who likes what they're doing is acting like they've won a SuperBowl. No one here's saying that. On the flip side, no one is saying you said that you thought this team is perfect and fine and dandy. I suppose there are a few different ways to build a team, but the Redskins sure as hell haven't been able to do it. Meanwhile, the Browns look like they're on the verge of something special. The concept of hoarding draft picks, having young, cheap, cost controlled talent is a simple one that has paid off for other teams. The Redskins haven't been able to attempt that. I don't like ****ting on every move this team makes because I am tired of it. For most of my life, this team has been terrible...just like the Browns have been. If your argument is that the Browns have been worse than us in recent years that's like being happy you got a D on your math test because the kid next to you got an F.

Apparently in his mixtape, one of the lines was “gas is on e” and people on Twitter were all like “gas....is on...e....GASE!! He’s going to the jets!!” 😂 clever way to announce which team you’re going to sign with. But at the same time i kinda feel like “why make it into a whole big thing”? Just announce it in a more normal way 😂😂 just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't crown them SB champs, I said they're lightyears better than us. And they are. It's not even a controversial observation to say that, it's readily apparent. Franchise QB. Progressive offensive HC who he already clicked with. Offensive talent out the ass and an interesting defensive depth chart as well. Plenty of draft picks and cap space. It's not even a contest. Pull your head out of the beach and shake the sand out of your eyes, you sound ridiculous. I know you're a blind homer, but posts like this really hurt your credibility on other topics involving the roster, FO, etc. Zoony started a thread on the Browns being way ahead of us like 2-3 years ago, it wasn't even a controversial thought then, and it's now coming to fruition big time. It doesn't even matter what the Browns do this year. They are speeding in the right direction in the passing lane and we're stalling out on the off-ramp to mediocrity.
