If only there was somebody on this board who had been saying the same thing all afternoon...

Won't be easy, but we are definitely still in play for Manning and the co-front runners for Griffin

As for Sanchez...I'll just leave that alone

I still do...but that's gotten a bit harder too

Do you spend a great deal of time stressing out and getting angry about events that have not happened and that you have no actual reliable knowledge of.......?

[SFREDSKIN]

Thank god they are out of the running for PM, now they have to patiently wait to get RGIII with the 6th pick, the Browns are bluffing and I would hate to have them give the Rams unnecessary picks.

Apparently.

I only wish I could be as emotionally grounded and internet-intelligent as you. However, I clearly wasn't blessed as you were at birth.

Nonetheless, let me, with my simple mind, TRY and explain...

I was simply (I thought) saying that in my opinion, I do not see us landing PM or RGIII... and that I would be pissed THEN (not right now)... and making the point that anyone of the other options are just not good enough to make us a contender anytime soon... again... in my opinion.

Wait, we are allowed to have those, right?

But yeah... thanks for the really needed degrading, smart-ass comment... it was very necessary.

I hope Manning hurries up and makes his mind up. I cant take much more of this sh*t and its only the first 24 hours.

"We're not down on Colt McCoy, so I just want to make that clear," Heckert said. "We still think Colt's going to be a good player."


Meaning

"Yes we are going to try and get RG3"

My speculation is that the Browns would love RGIII at #4 and would pounce on him but aren't really interested in him at #2. They have to do their due diligence and talk to the Rams about him but it doesn't fit with Holmgren & Heckert's "upbringing" to sacrifice valuable draft picks (meaning 1st rounders) to move up.

Remember Heckert is from the Eagles front office, who were much more well know for trading down than trading up. Also remember last year they were in prime position to get an impact player (Julio Jones) that had been projected to them but they took the deal to move down and accumulate picks.

It may be my homerism speaking but I don't see them, with as many holes as they have, packaging those 2 picks for 1. Holmgren is more about building a team that can win than a particular player and they are multiple players away. QB isn't their biggest need and with 4 & 22 they can fill RB and WR for years to come. I also think they are going to be the front runners for Flynn when (yes, I'm calling it now even before polls close) Manning signs with Miami. However they can't just come out and say right now, we're happy where we are just in case the Rams decide to drop the price to something they can justify.

Well the bad news is we are in the same boat as the Rams in terms of needing positions filled and we have one less pick in the top two rounds. If any team could afford to give up their 1st RD and a 2nd RD it's the Browns since the still have a second 1st RDer.

The good news is MS came out a long time ago and said he was not going to throw the farm for one player. And yes MS did say that I posted the link to the interview a long time ago in one of the first few QB threads.

The Silly Season is in full effect. This is the NFL's version of the soap opera.

I would love to see RG3 here but I am still not sure about giving up the farm for him.

Honestly what I've been thinking all along. Love to have him, but playing his brother twice a year and having them knock each other out on way to SuperBowl each year would definitely not be attractive for him. Miami's situation is hard to beat, agree that's his likely destination barring surprise team. Clearly need to wait and see.

If this falls through, I guess we still can throw the house at RG3. But this already is beginning to feel like the year where we tried to get Cutler - and failed, then tried for Sanchez - and failed, and then sucked with Campbell with a huge let-down all year.

I definitely can't take going through this again and then living with Rex all year long....

This they same info that was in another link, now its just coming from nfl.com.

[That Guy]

the article saying we're out and the one saying, wait, no we're not have BOTH been posted about 40 times here.

we are in the running, but miami is the most likely destination.
