Tannehill, #22

If the Browns maneuver around and draft Tannehill, it won't be with with the expectation of his starting this season. With the lone exception of Cam Newton, (and including Mark Sanchez), less experienced quarterbacks NEVER do well when started as rookies.

Tannehill's completion percentage and TD/INT ratios are weak. A recent report describing his arm as "weak" is inaccurate, and I suspect written by a Phil Simms follower. He has a decent arm.

He has mechanical flaws which can be corrected, made some bad reads, and tended to be too stubborn to throw the ball away. Practice, coaching, and experience may well refine this raw ore into gold.

That's the process: Before you melt it into ingots, you have to remove the sand, quartze, and other impurities. If you toss it in the smelter and just start pouring, you've got a mess. Three coaches and ex-coaches are standing by the smelters with the flux and shovels. Tannehill is a potential project.

He does have the intelligence, including football intelligence, and the work ethic to succeed in the NFL. He has the tools to be great.

His comparatively low completion percentage doesn't tell the whole story. In what admittedly brief tapes I saw of him, I saw a number of off-balance throws. I also saw some absolutely PERFECT downfield passes into tight windows.

PS I saw some bullets to the sidelines, and many intermediates barely too high for linebackers to deflect, and too low for safeties to get a piece of.

But the Browns probably don't take him at four, and he may well not be there at 22. If they take Tannehill, they may well sign a Kyle Orton or even Jason Campbell to duke it out with Colt, and more than likely help him out. I believe Seneca Wallace's salary makes him vulnerable to release.

The Browns AT THIS TIME won't give the Rams #22 to move up. The Redskins AT THIS TIME won't include this year's second rounder. Do you know bargaining when you see it?

Some Rams fans have been talking about #22, the Browns second rounder, and 2013 picks! Heckert is putting the brakes on this hysterical greed-fest, and lowering expectations. None of the other teams want to commit prior to free agency because Matt Flynn and Peyton Manning will probably change everything, including leverage.

And no--Peyton Manning here? If the Browns had gone 10-6 last season and seemed ready for the next step, ok. But 4-12? A 36-year old guy, neck injury or no? Grow UP would you!

Flynn, ok. But money may rule him out. More greed.

I HAVE SPOKEN.
