I'm kinda depressed because, according to some "experts", this is a mediore quarterback draft class after all.
Yeah it seems Darnold isn't athletic and has a weak arm, Rosen holds the ball too long, and well you know--they all suck.
Like I remember the Wentz/Goff draft class. None of these quarterbacks have first round talent. Wentz has a long windup and is innaccurate. Goff will need two years on the bench and has a weak arm.
Oh yeah and Deshaun Watson: 45mph muzzle velocity, questionable arm strength, too many interceptions, bad judgement, not big enough, needs lots of work.
Russell Wilson is a potential carreer backup. Ditto Kirk Cousins. Aaron Rodgers is undersized with a mediocre arm. I don't even know what they said about Kase Keenum, but use your imagination.
I guess I've learned a thing or two lately, because I liked Wentz, Goff, and Watson a lot, despite how a lot of analysts tore them to shreds. With Goff, I told you last season: If you are calling this rookie a bust already, you need a brain transplant.
Hell, I guess I'm at least as good at picking quarterbacks as anybody else is!
I don't know enough about this new draft class to have a favorite yet, but I personally like Sam Darnold the person a lot.
Sam's own father calls him "Flat-line". Sam doesn't get high or low. He's just all-business. You can't intimidate him, and he doesn't try to intimidate you.
I can already hear the scouts questioning his leadership, because he's not "fiery" like Tom Brady.
A lot of these people have no freaking idea of what leadership means:
If you are an offensive lineman, receiver, or whatever, and your team is losing, a leader is a quarterback you can count on, period.
That is, you know he won't panic, or hesitate, and will come through in the clutch. This gives you confidence, and hope. This makes you want to be like him.
A guy like Darnold just has to be there to inspire his teammates. He doesn't have to say a word to you when you screw up. All he needs to do is give you a "look".
I like "flat-liner" quarterbacks! Knock them down, beat the crap out of them, intercept them, whatever. They get up. They come back. They don't get shaky, or timid, or desperate.
Hue Fisher thinks he'll indeed be back next season and, more importantly, had an in-depth discussion with Dorsey.
This is good, because Dorsey has great leverage here. Hue is being asked if he thinks Haslam might change his mind and fire him if he doesn't win. Dorsey will fire him if he doesn't do much better in 2018, and with that resume, he'd probably never be a Head Coach again.
So Dorsey no doubt asked him all the questions I would have asked him. Dorsey can't technically tell him how to do his job, but Hue still has to listen to him, or else.
But man, check the comments after this article! What a bunch of cretins!
Now Hue got fired by the Raiders for leaking and undermining too! He didn't even have a GM! Haslam is a buffoon, Hue is the worst coach in history, the Browns will never win til Haslam sells the team---I couldn't read any more.
We never do anything half way around here. No shades of gray at all. Pick some targets and paint them black. Hue can't just be like Marty nooo. He has to be THE worst ever in history. He can't just be a blockhead about his use of personnel and blocking scheme nooo! He has to be leaking and undermining and power-struggling and manipulating too!
It's sick, don't you see that? Jeez I've been as hard on Hue as any sane person, but I don't just make stuff up about him to pile on! You people make personal destruction a project.
Dorsey has leverage. I look forward to the last three games. Let's see if he makes a few changes.
I hope so. It's too soon for yet another Head Coach.
