That's not simply dumb, it's malpractice. He has a 37 year old QB on a team that isn't going anywhere, he has an opportunity to draft arguably the best QB to come out since Luck and he elects not to. In his place he takes a frickin running back which might be the worst value you can possible take. In addition he could have easily traded down with the Broncos at 5 who would have moved up for Darnold and STILL gotten Barkley. If I were a Giants fan I would be furious!
It's like the wishful thinking "Lamar Jackson is the same caliber as Rosen/Darnold but will just happen to drop to the late 1st."
He has issues, but if you are not in a positon to draft a top qb, Lamar could be a good project to draft.
Dont get me wrong, there is zero situation for the browns, but someone like New England or New Orleans that have a need for a qb in 2 or 3 years but not now would be perfect.
most people have
1) darnold/rosen
3)mayfield
4)allen
right now it appears the browns have
1)mayfield
2)darnold
3?
4?
"I will finish...
what you started."
Mayfields teammates would run through a wall for him. If he wasnt such a leader no way the browns take him.In fairness, one of the things most notable about Wilson was his leadership. He'd show up, and other players would instantly gravitate towards him. Mayfield apparently has that as well.

The fact that he was a walk-on two different schools and rose quickly to be the starting QB is encouraging.
Not sure about you, but I can go back through my entire social media history and I never posted "heil" to a Hitler account, never called anyone a faggot, and never used the n-word. And I finished high school fifteen years ago. I posted some embarrassing shit, no doubt, but nothing as obscene or hateful as Allen's tweets from only four years ago.
Making excuses for Allen is a fucking joke.
