Here he is fitting into his Raven uniform.

Yup! I went with my dad and brother back in 2015. It was a blast. My first time in England and lover every minute of the trip with the exception of EJ and the long train ride back to the Airbnb.

To borrow a professional wrestling term they money in the banked them!

I thought I was back in the mid late nighties for a second there.

As we have done in the past for both the stadium and the field house I think it would only be fitting to name him Ralph Wilson.

I mentioned it in another thread but yeah the coverage has been boring the last few years. I went to a bar last night and kept it on mute today while I worked. Putting the volume up only when I got a text from friends we were up or that we traded for a 6th which seemed like most of the night! 😂

Another weapon for Josh that makes us even more dangerous. Absolutely love the pick.

When I think 4th round pick Ko Simpson always comes to my mind. The guy is worth millions after all!

Man if it wasn’t for that paper cut in the 4th grade I would have made an amazing NFL GM.

Are we going to get caught up on the 4th rounder all rest of the off season now? I don’t have to ask do I?

I love it! We took a position of need and he has a huge amount of upside.

Going to a bar for some sub par wings and over priced beer. It still beats hearing any of the analysts talk. Over the years I have realized I like the idea of watching the draft more than the actual draft itself.

Dunkirk Dan is on the case! 🕵️‍♂️

Never watched it but definitely pure fiction if the Browns had a good draft. Definitely would have watched it if they had made Buffalo the main character team though which under Brandon would have been just as much pure fiction.

Same. I have never been more happy to be proven I will never be a GM!

Oh yeah! I think that is pretty much verifiable true at this point. Good on Wood. 2009 was actually a decent draft and it would have been outstanding if we took someone like Orakapo instead Maybin with that first pick. The Maybin pick was a fiasco from the start when he held out for an uber contract and missed important practice and development time. It didn’t improve once he was on the team. Garbage holdout tactics like that were one the reasons for the lock out the following off season. That was one of the few pro sport labor disputes that I actually think improved the league because it capped rookies contracts and limited the number of the hold outs( I believe Bosa in San Diego did hold out post new labor agreement) and end the buy the farm deals on no production rookies you would see prior to 2010.

Piggy backing off my other point about Losman. Why is Manuel even listed instead of Tulane Torpedo? If I remember correctly didn’t we move down in the draft in 2013. EJ didn’t pan out but we still got some picks in the first to soften the blow of being a desperate buyer in a weak QB class. Losman we bet the farm and were set back further.

I would have taken Rodgers,our 2004 2nd, and 5th over Losman. The amount we gave up for him was brutal. We actually had an effective offense as well with Mularkey in 2004 which would have likely fit Rodgers playing style. We regressed from coming within a game of making the playoffs in 2004 to a proverbial tire fire in 2005 when we tried to give JP the reins and that was the end of the MM tenure as head coach which lead us to the height of the drought days with Jauron. History would have been different had we not moved up for the “4th best QB in the draft”.

Based on what we gave up to get him and who we could have gotten if DonaDOH! Had just been patient after the move up for Rothlishburger fell through I actually say Losman. The 3 picks lost including a 2nd and a 1st that we could used to get Rodgers would most certainly have ended drought much sooner than 2017.

If he goes to the Panthers first then it is a sure bet he will be a Bill.

Wow I didn’t realize that was actually him. He was probably the most knowledgeable poster over there. Amazing QB and even better human. Prayers to him and his family.

Oooof that will never be a problem for me. The camera lens would break at that sight.

Thank goodness! Direct TV went down the proverbial crapper when AT&T bought them. Filing a corporate tax return became easier than calling their customer service line to add a channel.

There are too many commercials for me to keep watching this sloppy minor league football.

Man I hated that bizarro Super Bowl where Tampa Bay beat the Raiders. It gave Rob Johnson and Keshawn a ring.
