The mentality that you pick a RB in the top 10 or 5 is definitely a groupthink mentality perpetuated by Gurley, Zeke, and Fournette.
Hmmm judging from this board you'd think the opposite

most of those post r from u
I know. Most people here don't think you should take a RB high in round one. So me saying you should ( in this case ) is the opposite of groupthink

Well you interjected into a separate conversation ( which is fine) but then you clearly don't know what the topic pertains to. When your opinion is the majority ( as yours is ) you can't think yell groupthink at one person stating an opinion that is in the minority . Groupthink is done to eschew responsibility on AN individual level for a claim or decision. That's not what I'm doing nor is it even relevant to my opinion as it's not the typical opinion. It's literally the antithesis of it lol

It's not the majority at all I would say to start with.

Secondly, no it isn't. That's just a normal flaw of the human mind to prioritize harmony and conformity with a norm over the correct decision.

Seems to me the whole debate about where Barkley should get picked comes down to a few differences of opinion. Those for Barkley feel there is no franchise type QB in the draft, just a bunch of meh type QBs like say Tyrod Taylor and they feel Barkley is once a generation type RB.Then there is those that disagree and feel there is at the very least one QB who is a franchise QB and feel Barkley isn’t a once in a generation type of RB and some other RB will do just fine out of the next tier of RBs Guice, Michel or Chubb. Heck I’m a big believer in a running game with a stud RB, but put me in the second camp.

The Browns lost 6 games last year by 6 points or less, and the 6 point loss was in OT so there was a sudden death TD scored. They were also absolutely wrecked by injuries on defense. With decent health and the influx of talented additions via trade/FA/the draft, 10 wins is absolutely possible. Likely? No. Out of the question? No.

Sorry, but I'm throwing cold water on absolutely possible.

I'll give them .500 at home which I think is generous, but just don't see them having enough success on the road to come close. Maybe I'm wrong and they do it, but that would be extremely atypical.

Triggered little bitches like yourself are triggered.

Enjoy your precious groupthink, asshat!
:lol: way to fancy yourself an independent thinker while falling for the group mental illness "have to draft a quarterback."

I can't laugh hard enough at you. You are stuck in the past, the world moves too fast for you and you recognize patterns too slowly. Sad!

:laugh3:

For me, it comes down to the question: would you rather have Ladanian Tomlinson for 9 years or Matt Ryan for 16 years?

The thing is that there is probably a 75% chance that if they take their QB at #1 then Barkley will be there at 4. If the Browns don't take Darnold then its probably a 100% chance.

They won 10 games with Derek Anderson at QB. They can do it with a way more talented team this year along with what could be a bit of a down year in the AFC North. Just having Tyrod last year would've probably been the difference between 0-16 and 5-11 or better. With all the improvements they made this year, I am expecting no worse than 7-9, but 10 wins is far from outlandish.
