Browns Pick #94, Dillon Gabriel QB, Oregon (aka, the Amari acquired pick)

[Stylepoints]

Yes. Stefanski didn't want him and didn't pick him. It's gotta be that. It is either that or I truly underestimated all this time just how braindead KS really is.

Or he is really stinking it up in practice.
Or Stefanski think Gabriel is playing pretty well.

I have no ideas anymore.

 

[jaydog]

Even if Gabriel is the lesser of two evils what are we doing here?!!

Let's get a look at Sanders and get an NFL evaluation on him. I don't expect any great change, but neither of these guys is likely to be our starter next year. If by chance he plays really well it helps.

 

[hammertime]

What was the offense Sanders ran in Colorado?
I don’t recall any conversation about his intelligence or lack of.

Can he read defenses?
His second pregame performance was pretty bad.

 

[Martin Eden]

There's plenty of time for Sanders to get his shot. I've seen all of Gabriel I ever care to see for my entire life, but if Kev wants to give him a couple of more starts, so be it. At this point, I can't imagine Stefanski back next season, but I'm lost as to why he thinks Gabriel can be a decent NFL QB. And if by some chance Sanders plays great (or at least good), I don't want Stefanski, who clearly doesn't have any confidence in him, coaching him next season.

Would it be fair to play Sanders at all this season ? he has not be coached well.

True but looked good in the first one.

First it was an Okoro reference and now Pat Fucking Shurmur?!! To talk about poor coaching??!

If Stefanski is thinking Gabriel is playing well he needs fired yesterday. Anyone with even a basic football knowledge can see that Gabriel is playing like shit.

As for Sanders... There's no way he is so bad in practices that Dillon fucking Gabriel is outshining him. Nah, no way he is THAT horrendous. DG makes Charlie Fry look like Joe Montana in comparison, Brady Quinn look like Aaron Rodgers and Colt McCoy look like Steve Young.

It's impossible that a first round graded prospect is THAT BAD in practice that a competent HC goes "yeah, I have no choice but to keep playing Dillon Gabriel."

 

[madmadworld]

First it was an Okoro reference

All I can & did do is show you facts.

now Pat Fucking Shurmur?!! To talk about poor coaching??!

Do you know what success is in the NFL ?
Being in the NFL. he did not trick or DEI his way to getting jobs.

 

[jaydog]

Yeah! Success in the NFL is Fritz Shurmur. Not Pat. I guess you don't know.

If the "Light" hasn't gone on by now... Chance are it never will.. DG might make a better position coach than a player down the road..

So his uncle got him a interview ? then he tricked people for the next 20 years. nice LoL

Yeah Fritz actually invented the 2-5 defense...... I was never a fan of it... I think Ray Horton tried to run some variation of it here... Its a DB heavy loaded defense... 2 LBer's 3 down lineman... 6 dbs... That never made sense to me..

Perhaps if you played the old Air Coryell Chargers with Dan Fouts.

 

[OconRecon]

Per the insiders: The coaches were “very disappointed” in Gabriel’s lack of vision and missed opportunities.

Also, they feel Sanders is “not quite there yet, but progressing”. He’s close.

Easy... you flood the pocket... Fouts was not a nimble QB.. very slow of foot..

lol. Lack of vision happens when you can see above the people in front of you. DG has a very small window and its closing quickly.

Whether SS is the answer we don’t know but you are what your record says you are.

Very affordable seats this week…. 4:25 start time is brutal for a bad team.

I recall if Dan moved he would be stepping on his linemen. it was the tightest pocket ....maybe ever ? or my brain is frozen lol

Well yeah He had Kellen Winslow Sr. And Charlie Joiner too... They were bad ass.. And he had great accuracy... Something we haven't seen around here since Kosar,...

Dan & Kellen got into the HOF, we only got Ozzie. both of those teams would've had more if they only win a SB. doesn't seem right.
