This is the exact same team, minus a couple & add a couple that won the AFCN the last 2 seasons. It is not very intelligent to think your team is Super Bowl bound when its franchise QB is playing injured and then knocked out for the season. Just doesn't seem smart to me.
I do know that is is NOT intelligent to pay a safety 16M per year, especially with this roster. But of course some think Bates played every season with us like he did this year with the Falcons. But that is simply ignorance as Bates not only laid down on us and had a couple crap years, but also led the team in missed tackles. He is good and better than what we have now, but we had a more athletic 1st Rd draft pick to take his place - that is just common sense.
Vonn Bell has had his worst season in the NFL this year.
I've never allowed the crappy Browns fans to embarrass me, they are notoriously awful in so many ways. But some people allow pettiness to get in their feelings more than others.
I think many of the young guys flashed, I never have high expectations for rookies. Dax disappointed, but I can see him and the others having solid years next season.
Nicely said as usual Casear.

Don't ever talk about Bates dude. I knew Jessie Bates before we drafted him, he totally played to not get hurt an entire season.(01-01-2024, 12:21 PM)casear2727 Wrote: Lol, you are a random poster on a message board, I am not going to allow you to makes such a stupid comment such as, " it's clear that they don't love the game the way Jessie did.." about players that give their entire life to the game. We never witnessed a lack of effort. When a dumb fan says he knows how a full team of players feel that just reveals total ignorance.
In Bates 4th season he had 1 interception and 3 PBUs - Dax had more than that by his 8th game starting. Did Jesse only love the game during the playoffs? Bates never had a season for us like he is having this year and admitted to NOT playing 100% due to fear of injury. Does that sound like a guy that loves the game more than everyone else? Judging a 6th yr guy to rookies and 1st year starters is amateur at best.
Bates is better than a 1st year starter Dax and rookie Battle, but not 16M per, that would be stupid, there is a salary cap. A 1st Rd draft choice is the best a team can do to replace a player. Dax should have received way more reps last season in my opinion and hopefully improves next season.
Love it. All truth here.
