Eh, his hands aren't the best, but he's got the 4th most catches of all the WRs drafted in 2011 (behind AJ Green, Julio Jones, and Torrey Smith).

He can't catch. That's kind of important.

Who are the other WRs drafted under him? That's important.
Edit:
Cute girl at work stopped talking to me
how the hell can guys be so clueless!?

Cobb is definitely better, Vincent Brown as well if he could stay healthy. Cecil Shorts as well.

Hmm yeah you got a point, although if Austin can stay healthy (big if) they just don't need him.

Tom Hardy was better in Bronson
Warrior > TDKR > Bronson
I'm gonna get this shirt
I kinda want that shirt. Why didn't the Pats draft Johhny
Damn, I just saw an article where Ubisoft predicts that Watch_Dogs to sell 6 million. I mean, I want that game pretty badly, but...if GTAV's just now passing 10 Mill... :lol

Why did they cut Greg Little? He's making like 800k this year. I know he's regressed but damn.
Sending both first round picks next year to Houston for Johnson.

It's Cleveland, so there will probably be a QB competition that gets a lot of attention before the season, with JFF winning out, the city's excitement swells and the anticipation of his first game is the most hype filled event since Lebron was drafted. In the first game of the season, the first drive, JFF is living up the to the hype, slipping away from defenders in the pocked, sending sharp passes all over the field, and generally looking like the savior Cleveland thought he would be. As JFF walks into the endzone on a naked bootleg to give Cleveland their first score, he drops the ball, throws up his "money" hand gesture (trademark pending), but in a freak accident, his index and ring finger get tangled on his throwing hand, and the motion of rubbing his fingers together to indicate "money goes here," as in his celebratory gesture, causing massive damage to his flexor tendons, and irreversable destruction of the palmar fascia. His career is over.
Because he sucks and is a constant reminder to fans of the old ownership group and a reminder of how inept and football stupid Mike Holmgren is.
Browns need to move forward and cut the useless weight that is Greg Little.
No my first time in the AFC North. Good opportunity for CLE compared to the previous decade. We will see how Cincy responds to losing so many coaches Dunno how to feel about Pittsburgh. Old or still one last run in them like BAL with Lewis?
You're high as hell if you think he is worth that.
For that cost the Browns could get Jimmy Graham from the saints.
I don't think he is worth that but they are the Browns so logic gets thrown out.
Browns will probably try and tank this year while prepping JFF for next year and they will draft two WRs in the first round next year.

I really hope he does this in the NFL. It's magical.

He will get destroyed if he tries that in the NFL. Look at RG3

Cowher's team is gone save for Ike and Troy (and Ike is more Tomlin's guy anyway). In their current incarnation they're about 2 drafts from contending for a title again.

Makes more sense now.
the difference is that RG3 would've tried to make a move on the guy at the end
Gotta be more than just the drops. I mean 2 days ago he was the #1 WR

I have heard good things about Watch Dogs but I think Ubisoft is going to be disappointed if they really stick to that 6m number. It is hard for new ips to break out like that with their first entry.
Squick you must've missed Bowsers post.

Browns pull a Greg Little and drop him.

Wow, I don't think I've seen pass rushers in High School look that bad.

No, we gave him a chance to showcase himself to the league even though we had no need for an extra QB.
There are 31 teams who didn't even bother to call him. Fuck all y'all.

That is so true.
Man I cant believe another team was dumb enough to drop their best WR because of "character issues".
Yeah I was behind and didn't see his post. Makes sense then. I would think CAR should still take a look. I guess it depends on what his character issues are

Not a Pettine or HoFarmer guy,plus did the guy a favor and cut him early to he could try to latch on someplace else.
after the two FA signings, you still got Travis Benjamin, Andrew Hawkins and Burleson who should be back by training camp. They picked up a couple good UDFA WRs as well, one or two will probably latch on, and who knows, maybe the Gordon suspension won't be that long.

I forgot Greg was a 2nd round pick, lol smh Heckert. Never thought he would make the team anyway, even with the Gordon suspension. Thought he'd atleast make it to camp though #HoFarmer

Not sure where you've been but the Trent Truck Trade, and the Fleecing of Buffalos first rounder next year makes their logic pretty damn good lately.
Not their fault Gordon was an idiot for hanging out with the Magic Dragon.
I think he's worth a flier and worth bringing in for camp, although I honestly don't know if he'd make the team as anything more than a #4 WR at best (this is assuming Benjamin looks good in camp):
Benjamin
Cotchery
Avant
Are probably locked in. I'm kind of excited about Philly Brown, former OSU WR. We picked him up as an UDFA, but I think could make a great #4. He put up 63 rec, 771 yards and 10 TDs last season and is a great kick returner as well.
I think I'm burned out on sandbox games. I feel nothing when I look at Watchdogs, and the game isn't carrying the same hype for me as it did in its initial E3 reveal (not even close actually).
Last one I played was Infamous Second Son, and that shit was fun (looked fucking amazing too). I can't really recall any games I'm excited for besides Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS, and Mario Kart 8(?) (Evolved actually looks really really cool) The only game I'm playing at the moment is Fire Emblem 3DS, I still haven't hooked my PS4 back up since my trip, lol.
Maybe they'll announce some good stuff at E3.
They cant stand a decade of excellence and not having the greatest QB of this generation on their own team. To hell with them

Greg Little has a -28.1 @ PFF grade in his 3 NFL seasons. No other WR was worse than -17.4 in that span.
I for one won't miss this.
You saw nothing. ;p

I understand what you mean, but it seems like the first one is a bit unfair (without the video of the play obviously)...not exactly an "easy catch"
Ebron was a Butch Davis recruit, although he definitely thrived in Fedora's system. Quinn and Nicks have both put up good years like you've mentioned. Jury's out on Cooper but he was looking great (admittedly in preseason action) before he broke his leg last season. But yeah, given that Carolina's had 9 players drafted in the first 2 rounds over the past 3 years (and 5 first round picks over the least 5 years), their collective performance both in college and in the pros leaves something to be desired.
