One of the first things Black Cloud, my little brother, learned was how to drive me nuts. So I have to take his 0-17 prediction for next season with a grain of salt.
Black Cloud, it isn't funny to make an ass of yourself just to piss me off. My response to you is this: Congratulations. You have just made an ass of yourself.
Black Cloud isn't as fixated on the Browns as I am, but nobody from this gene pool not quickly diagnosed with Downs syndrome is capable of being that stupid. Black Cloud is like the defensive back who never shuts up trying to get into a wide receiver's head. It's just plain silly.
Anyway, now the Browns have lost convincingly to the juggernaut Bengals at home. RG3 was mostly atrocious, dashing every faint hope I had for him as a real quarterback.
In fairness, I must mention several dropped passes by several receivers, and tell you that RG3 was almost average overall. Just not as good as McCown or Kessler or even the other guy.
The defense is sickening, and I strongly suspect that Ray Horton is a gmf. They kept sacking Dalton, and Dalton kept converting third and a miles (good job Andy/no offense).
They KNEW that the Bengals had to run the ball, had a week off to prepare for it, and still got run over. Not just by Hill, but by the Bengals number three running back. And once again, almost all of it was yards-after-blown tackle!
Well, the first overall draft pick is just about in the bag, along with the top day two tradeable draft pick. The Philly pick is looking like a top ten right now. Cody Kessler hasn't set the world on fire, but has played well overall.
Black Cloud, if you can't find anything objective to say, shut tf up. It's not funny, ok? There are plenty of real idiots out there for me to get pissed off at, ya know? Please give me a break.
Anyway, I'm now pretty sure what the Browns will try to do this off season.
Adam Shefter is THE most reliable source in my book (he's the anti-LaCanfora!), and he now says that the Browns are after Garopollo. Mike Lombardi says the same thing.
This is almost obvious, along with the strong possibility that Bill will make the deal, rather than simply lose him to free agency in 2018.
Here is Garoppolo's pre-draft scouting report. It's from 2014, at which time he was generally regarded as a low first or high second round talent.
Does this register? Two drafts before 2016, Jimmy Garopollo was rated there. This is not a sixth round pick who flashed. What he did in Tom Brady's place should NOT be considered a fluke.
I remember that draft. My crickets can tell you, I was hoping the Browns would draft this guy.
He has been a Tom Brady understudy, and has had time to get stronger (as Brady did), and hone his mental and physical skills.
Jimmy was drafted 62nd overall by the Sith Lord. Philadelphia's first round pick, and perhaps a compensatory fourth rounder, would not be too much to pay for him. He might come even cheaper! Maybe a top second rounder and a 2018 third rounder or something!
Garopollo, coming out of college, was a decisive, accurate sharpshooter with anticipation. As usual (yawn) some wondered about his arm (zzzzz). Think Hue might like Jimmy 2.0?
Now here's why:
The Browns get a VETERAN NFL quarterback who is far more prepared and less risky than any quarterback in this draft. They retain their top draft pick, and can draft Superman to substantially upgrade every phase of their defense.
I'm probably overpaying here, too. Bill has me all intimidated here, but math is math, and business is business. The Wentz first round pick alone should beat any other deal Bill could get for Jimmy. He might even accept the top second and a 2018 fourth rounder or something,
The Wentz pick would work for me, though, since I wouldn't have to waste a lot of time explaining to everybody how that was a smart move, ya know? Because I believe Jimmy Garopollo will ultimately be at least as good as Wentz.
And I hereby predict this: For a maximum of the Wentz first round draft pick, the Browns will acquire Jimmy Garopollo, and will draft Myles Garrett too. Garopollo will start immediately, and GET RID OF THE GDAMN BALL on time, and the defense will get the damn ball BACK too!
And the Browns will spend all their money keeping Jimmy, Collins, and Pryor.
I HAVE SPOKEN
