What would Mallett's value even be? Guy was a 3rd round pick, so you would think that would be his ceiling in terms of value. He's no Matt Cassel that's for sure.
 
I think Lombardi/Belichick stuff is a little overblown. I doubt CLE has interest in Welker or Mallett, but Lombardi will help or be linked to the pump and dump. For years he talked up Hoyer, but it's not CLE has gone after him. Lombardi is just doing Belichick a favor, probably b/c Belichick gave his kid a job
Read the article earlier, I'm not really worried it's more of just a opinion piece since Moore and Hoyer are off the market. We don't even have a second round pick and the Patriots want a pretty high pick for Mallet. I doubt this will actually happen. STAY CALM, and wait for us to DA.
.........Troy smith just worked out the other day, and he reportedly looked good......

Well, everyone talks about how character issues lead to him dropping in the draft, and he didn't show any of those in NE. Plus desperation in a weak supply situation.

I'd rather keep him than flip him for a third. If they do that, I'll read something into it.
 
2nd at least.But the thing is a new team wouldnt be able to sign him to a new deal.
Why in the flying fuck would Mallet Warrant a 2nd? He hasn't done anything or proven anything. It's not even like he has a market to drive the price up to a 2nd. Cassel atleast started basically a whole season and did pretty well. Let's not pretend like BB is the most awesome Qb guru ever and anyone he touches is gold

Uh he's worth a 1st.........if he ran a 4.4 and Al were still alive.

He's worth a 3rd or 4th, it's all just speculation with him since he hasn't played really. A 2nd is like robbery for him, but maybe the Browns are desperate enough.

Man, need a new computer,but even reading over gaf's "need a new computer" thread has only made me more confused/picky.
Can't come to a consensus on anything. Just don't want to spend a fortune for a game machine I won't use nearly as much as a console, but obvious I need to upgrade.
Fuuuuuckkkkk me


Maybe I'll just use a jump to conclusions mat sort of thing and hope I'm good.
 
Leodis Mckelvin and TE Logan Paulsen both got new deals to stay where they are (BUFF and WASH respectively):

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo

Ok catching up and confirming the 4 year, $20m deal for CB/KR Leodis McKelvin to stay w/ Buf + TE Logan Paulsen's 3 yr deal w/ Was.

Just follow Tom's guide and be done with it.

Not sure why you wouldn't when almost all of the third party titles on consoles are released on PC and you'll get better visuals/framerates. Get that rig hooked up via HDMI to your TV and all is well:)

You could buy a computer that has a good processor and add a video card and ram or whatever.

I think I'm looking for something between their standard and enhanced builds(hoping that'd be good enough to run pretty much everything). I guess my biggest confusion is that being out of the PC game for so long, component numbers for video cards in particular, are just really confusing to him.

See numbers, look up benchmarks for them, and they are all over the damn place. Their naming sucks ass. Shit could be so simple if they didn't name cards as they do.

Just have him give you his budget. You can pick out the parts, and even if he can't assemble it, he can take it to Microcenter or a PC shop and they'll put it together for $75

nvmd it's for you. What is your budget?

I'd rather not spend over 700 on it, as I need to replace my monitor as well. Built a PC back in 09 and with monitor it ran me like 950. I hate to do that again already, but it's seeming more likely.

If anything it's home team bias. We drafted him, he's worth this at least. Even with that said, I don't understand the rush to dump Weeden. Sure, bring in some guys to compete and push him, but if Weeden isn't the answer I highly doubt Mallett is especially for a draft pick. Browns are just going to have to find talent in the draft, and coach them up. Or get lucky.

4th seems about right to me. It's not like he gains value by sitting on the bench.

You current PC, how is the case? Power supply? Hard drive?

Ostensibly the backup QB learns and refines his mechanics while sitting on the bench. While it obviously doesn't happen all the time, Rodgers is a good example of mechanics being totally reworked while sitting on the bench. Also, with Mallett, as has been said, he fell in the draft due to character issues, which have seemingly been dealt with during his time in New England. There is no way that he loses value after getting in better shape, working on his mechanics, and gaining maturity over the past 2 years.

As for Mike Wallace to the Patriots, I don't believe that for a second. I think it's just an attempt to get Miami to freak out that they're going to lose him like they lost Harbaugh and Manning and way overpay him.

are there any good coverage lbs out there in FA? i want the pats to get one of those and a corner, then alternate the current lb corps through pass rushing. they need someone who can chase a rb down in the flat, mayo just can't do it.
 
building a PC yourself is awesome and satisfying!

i was about to build another PC that i would just connect to my TV but then i was reminded about steambox so i'm waiting to see what it actually is

It is fun. And they are better than most of the pre-made ones.

I have been Mac only since 2007 though; with the exception of my Vista Thinkpad beast that I was given for work.

Dudes in the OT are learning how makeup works apparently.

Also how drugs and alcohol affect our looks! Girls in their early 20s don't often look *that* bad without makeup.

I love how people on OT act like porn stars are normal people and act outraged when parents would not want a porn star as a teacher in elementary school.
