2017 Browns Off Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I thought you guys were joking/trolling when you said he was going to be a bust.


Good lord.
 
As are irrationally optimistic Browns fans.


This is the last time I'll visit this section until Game 1 of the regular season. I applaud those of you who can handle this fucking stupidity, but I've drawn a line. This is unprecedented idiocy, even for the Browns.

See ya in September.

P.S. if @The Wizard of Moz starts the 2018 Tank Thread I will participate in that. Otherwise, fuck this.

I guess September came early
 
Good. Could you elaborate???

FWIW, Jabrill looked gassed during up-downs today in the team's videos.
Jabril has to watch his water intake these days guys...of course he's going to be gassed.
 
It's not uncommon for rookies to look tired at OTA's. However, Peppers play will be under a microscope the entire season. He will be compared to picks 12-24 the entire season.

We need to keep our first season expectations realistic. Considering the role he is expected to play, he will have a much longer adjustment period than your typical CB / SS. He will be learning defensive packages across different positions.

In retrospect, it took Polamalu his entire rookie season to get comfortable with a similar role. Not saying Peppers is the next Polamalu by any stretch. I am just using him as an example since he is an all-time guy. Even he went through an adjustment period.

If we are hearing rumblings about him being out of shape come August, then i'd start to be concerned.

We don't allow development for player here at RCF. Week 1 MVP or bust. If you're not a pro-bowler after a year, you're a bust. :chuckle:

Sad, but true.
 
Anything to know regarding Corey Coleman being down on the field for an extended period of time?
 
COleman will be fine.

Ryan Grigson, yes that Ryan Grigson from the Colts. He'll be nothing more than a glorified scout. Not making any decisions.
