Feeling Kind Of Sunday NFL Open Thread

Your 2009 Crysman Award WinnerNeeded a reason to get this picture

Evan Turner is out 8 weeks, Greg Oden is out for the year, but at least we can look at this picture and use it to find a reason to put up an NFL open thread.

Now will this be the same pose from the 2009 Crysman Award Winner when he's drafted by the Jags in April? Or maybe he's going to the Buffalo Bills? Perhaps, dare I say, the Browns? Nah, that would be too cruel to the city of Cleveland. Either way, Tebow haters all over the world are feeling kind of Sunday today and Archie's legend gets to live on for another year.

nice. I was crushed to hear Ingram was only a soph. So even if he doesn't win it this year..I mean, if it had to be anyone, sure, him. Suh should win it this year ^^

Why don't the Browns trade for Troy Smith? he looked good everytime he played and they probably won't have to give up much for him.

As far as the teams who still matter. I say the Bengals get hot and make a run to the SB, any takers?

The wheels are falling off the Steeler bus. Tomlin is a fraud. Too much of a players coach. Cowher commanded respect first, then the players learned to love him. Don't get me wrong, the Steelers aren't going anywhere, but they will not be the power they have been for the past few years.

I think Troy wont be going anywhere until he's a free agent. He's a good back up and he's really cheap.
And I'd like to think the Bengals will make a run but I've been a fan for so long I know something will go wrong. I'm will you Ian, I can't remember when I wasn't a fan maybe that's why I think something bad will happen.

Bengals don't have the offense to win it all. They have a great running game, but no pass blocking at all. There's no way the Bengals run on Minnesota.

When you are asking, "Who will the Browns draft?" It is helpful to first ask, "Who would make the least amount of sense?" Who would be the least help? Who is most likely to be a total bust in the NFL? Remember, gang...this is a team that passed on Mark Sanchez to draft a CENTER!!?!?!?! W T F !?! As such, it is without any hesitation that I make the following (not-so-bold) prediction:

The Browns will trade pick 1, 2 or 3 for extra picks and make Isaiah "Juice" Williams their first pick of the 2010 Draft. OMG... I can't wait!!

I would shit-can Managini right now and go hard after Holmgren, Shanahan, Cowher and Schottenheimer.

The draft is the next issue. A good RB, LB or S, could make the Browns better next year. Spiller looks like a can't miss, but inj's are an issue. I also like T.Mays and E.Berry. Linebackers like Spikes(UF) and mcClain(BAMA) also look good.

One thing I wouldn't do is draft a QB in the 1st round this year. There are a few good ones, but the Browns issues run well past the QB right now.

Agree 100%. Bring in a washed-up free agent who can at least play competently - not amazingly, but competently- for cheap, and fix the rest of the team before you draft a first round quarterback. It's *way* too expensive to draft one and have him be a bust or even just worthless because you don't have the talent around.

IMO, you should never take a quarterback in the first round until your team manages to be at least consistently mediocre (6-9 wins) or at least in the top half of the standings on offense or defense, without one. There are plenty of old quarterback who can manage the game.

1) So instead of a Gatorade bath, he got bathed in Timmy's tears. Guess that's why you dont drink ocean water either.

2) So the flu, earlier this season, is why the Gator's lost last night. Eye-Gouge gate also cost the them game. Then there is Timmy's head and now Urban has a brain tumor. Thought there were no excuses--like 50 day lay-overs, chubby Heisman winners, or broken bones in starting WR's feet--to account for a good ole butt-rapin'.

I'm suspicious that the BCS - which has just hired Ari Fleischer Sports Communications for P.R. purposes - secretly, fans the flames of the controversy raging around it. Why shouldn't the bastards? It's good for business.

Check out Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel's "Plan":

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/f...

I offered the following reply:

Dan,

You express disdain for the bowls. I'll counter that news service polls gotta go. Perhaps the most ignored flaw in the whole damn argument, is the fact that the press has any say whatsover regarding what must be decided on the field.

Regarding playoffs, it should be a tournament of champions. Only conference champions gain admission. Follow the NFL, where record determines seeding. If all conference champions somehow end up undefeated - follow the NBA draft and impose a lottery to determine seeding. As for bowls, the bowls ARE the playoff games!

America we can have an undisputed, college football champion. We just need to rid the system of outdated institutions, corporate interference and an insincere press.
