Cleveland Browns Quarterback Position

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
That's the million dollar question, especially considering Allen is already showing progress this off-season...

How is that possible? There haven't been any games.

Every year, QB's with perceived flaws work out with QB gurus, and the "he's really so much better than he was" line starts getting peddled. They get out there and demonstrate their "improved" mechanics, all while running around in shorts with nobody trying to hit them. Those kind of improvements are meaningless because whether or not they will stick under real-world conditions is pure speculation.

Allen -- and all the rest of these guys -- should have their on-field abilities evaluated based on their on-field performance last season. The rest of it is 95% hype/spin. If there is some off-field concern, that's different. But that's not the case with Allen.

Both Darnold and Rosen off the board?

Gee, that certainly makes the fourth pick a whole lot more valuable.

Wonder why this is being leaked....

Thing is....the second we make that No. 1 pick, the value of the No. 4 pick will settle exactly to the point where it would have been without the smokescreen. The only reason to try to deceive other teams is to hope they panic after we make our pick. Which I think is extraordinarily unlikely.

All the teams in the top tier already have their game plans set depending on who the Browns take at No. 1.
 
I think we take Darnold 1, Allen 4, and then Lamar with the 33rd pick.

All of the talking heads will call Dorsey a genius for making sure the Browns found their QB of the future.
If they used 3 picks on qb's and one turns out to be a pro bowler, id be down.
 
When Silver makes a comment about who the coaching staff does or doesn't like I'll take it as truth

There just doing it in the increasingly vain hopes that someone panics and wants to move up to #4 before Draft Day.

It hasn't happened so I don't think it will. Now it is more Dorsey having fun with people by leaking every scenario under the Sun.

A team would have to be moronic to move up to 4 before even knowing who is available.
 
Double post. Give up on trying to embed a video. Without tap a talk

Brian Billick was stupid enough to start Kyle Boller 11 games as a rookie. If we start Josh Allen 11 games as a rookie, I think he’ll bust too. These false equivalences are so dumb.

Changes only stick when you have enough time to repeat them enough to build them into muscle memory. If we take Allen, we HAVE to commit to sitting him for at least a year. That should give him time to fix his lower body permanently and get up to speed at the NFL level. Otherwise it’s a waste.

My assumption is that if we take him, we’ll give him time.

Again. Hue has one year.

If things go south or Taylor gets hurt, guess who's getting the nod?
