    Well we have three rookies in honorable mention, and the writer only lists one guy per position.

    Busman you gave me a hilarious for this? Gabriel in his first NFL start threw for 2 TD's and didn't turn the ball over. Judkins ran for 112 yards with no fumbles. Those are outstanding stats for 2 Rookies especially Gabriel in his first start.

    Yeah I just think it's funny praising any QB that plays with the Browns. It's the quickest way to ruin a career going to the Browns. Sure he did well in his first outing but I would not count it lasting too long.

    Well Ok, you do have a good point about that. Baker Mayfield fell into their laps and they screwed that up.

    Always remember people, playing the Steelers is the Brown's Superbowl!
    Has been this way for the last 50 years. We have to match their urgency.

    I would be more worried if the Browns were playing at home on a Thursday night.

    That's next week when the Steelers play the Bengals in Cincinnati.

    That would be interesting. I like Leavitt's game. I like Mateer a lot too. Mendoza feels safe, but I don't know what to think of him yet.

    But the Steelers have struggled lately against the Browns on TNF, but they have done well against the Bengals in Cincinnati.

    Allar looks more nimble to me. I am an OSU fan, so I've seen a lot of Howard (and Allar too). Idk. It's not drastic or anything, and neither are as good as Josh Allen.

    Lots to like about Howard. I really wish we had a chance to see him in the preseason. Though, I am not 100% sure if we like him enough to not draft a QB this year or not.

    Howard was a 6th and they didn’t/won’t get to see much from him until next year

    I don’t see him affecting the draft one way or another

    I too was impressed and TBH a bit worried because they have some years ahead of them playing us twice a year.

    Dillon will not hold up in AFCN football. Dude barely cracks 200 lbs and is too short to throw over Heyward's arm.

    Also important to remember Tomlins record against the Stains. 26-8-1

    Under Franklin, it's where quarterbacks go to die.
    Horrible play calling. Horrible coaching. Horrible scheme.
    Allar will fall just a little because of the numbers but he will be helped by his ability. He's handicapped in psu
