The Browns would be the ones to sign him too lol. So desperate.

I had my money on Washington tbh

They shouldn't be, either. It's crazy. Chubb and Duke Johnson Jr. are a talented duo...

 

[RayP]

So you draft Chubb with a second round pick, he kills it every time he plays, but it’s like they’re doing everything they can for him to not succeeed.

Idiots.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Not surprised someone signed him but don't get why the Browns would. They have a good RB and some goodwill with fans for the first time in a decade.

I bet Washington got more excited by the prospect of signing Hunt once they saw the video. Snyder's a POS.

Right? RB production is so easy to find/replace, it's ridiculous that any team would spend tons of $ on them, let alone create huge PR nightmares for themselves.

I think Brown's fans will overlook anything to win at this point. Bears fans probably would not have cared much either.

49ers blocked the Raiders plans to play at Giants stadium for 2019

Raiders homeless again and now talking to Oakland again while they are currently being sued by Oakland

I would expect there will be some deal in which Raiders do play next year in Oakland and Oakland drops lawsuit (A suit with no merit)

Raiders should just find some college or High School to play at. That would be fun.

I haven't heard too much about Mixon and Hill either. Allegedly, Hill beat up his pregnant girlfriend (charges dropped).

Most fans talk a big game but ultimately, it's all about the wins and losses.

I think, generally speaking, the impact of signing "troubled" guys is over stated. But as the GM, the quickest way to way to get on the hot seat is to vouch for a guy and then have him make you and the organization look bad with another incident (Ray MacDonald for example). From that perspective, I'm surprised it's the Browns that would be the team to sign him as they are all set at RB. Someone was going to take a shot though.

Man, Oakland fans are going to feel even more awful after the Raiders pick Murray in the draft. The team that spurned them picking the player that spurned them.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

If the Raiders were to stay in Oakland, it would at least be possible for him to play baseball. I don't think you could expect anyone, regardless of position, to do that in two different cities. Even then, it's hard. Deion Sanders was essentially free styling on defense, but he could do that because he's f***in Deion Sanders.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

There isn't a NFL team around that would remotely consider allowing a QB of their's to play another sport. Even if we were talking about an NFL and MLB team having the same owner, that's not remotely worth the risk if the QB is deemed to be so much as competent.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

It is virtually impossible to be a two sport athlete today, especially if one of the sports you want to play is football and you're a QB.

I'm really curious about how a 5'8" QB is going to work out in the NFL.

There's a picture of him standing next to Haskins and the ALA QB. He looks TINY. There's no way he's 5'10".

Flutie was 5'9". He struggled but the NFL was a different game back then. Murray is a incredible athlete with a great arm. They'll need to get him outside pocket. That said, even with the new safety rules, I'd be worried about Murray:s durability.

I'm a bit more skeptical about Murray. I think he'll have stretches where he's effective. However, how long can he last being that small going against monsters?

I think Murray going in the first rd is a mistake. Murray is going to need a year or so to bulk up to play in the league (because 175-190lb QB won't do). Personally, I think he will be going back to baseball within 5 years.

Selecting him in 1st doesn't mean he has to play right away

Jackson didn't come in until midway point of this past season and we saw the best QB in football sit for a year after being drafted in KC

Its possible a team like Giants (Thought IMO 6th is too high to take him) or Steelers take him and both will likely have #1 in place for next year and wont need him to step in (Though I don't understand why Giants continue with Eli and have neglected drafting QB for several years now)

Oh the irony.

There is difference between selecting a kid in mid/late 1st then 2nd overall (After trading up for him)

And if you recall I advocated keeping Cutty and drafting QB to sit a year behind him

Our idiot GM cut Cutty and gave an awful contract to Glennon instead which was disaster the moment it was made and was an unnecessary move

It wasn't like Cutler was any good in Miami.

You advocated a lot of things that were outright wrong. I'm not sure if Trubisky is the answer, but you certainly weren't right about anything with the Bears in the past year.

Dude, just stop. I was as big a Cutty supporter as any and knew it was time to move on.

Idiot GM

Vic Fangio's QB next year.... Joe Flacco?

I'm thinking this isn't going to work out for Vic.
