Terrible idea. Players have enough strain on their bodies as it is, and the NFLPA would never accept this. Really it should be going the other way. I suggest a 3 game season, with preseason games counting.

Now, who are we playing in the Superbowl?

WHOOSH

J149 just wanted us to carry a 3-0 record into Week 1 4

I'm not him obviously, but I think Mayfield and Lawrence had similar paths. Both went 1st overall to a franchise that was a perennial loser, were saddled with a horrifically untalented roster, suffered awful first year coaching that resulted in a mid-season firing, and had to play with Carlos Hyde. Lawrence luckily got Pederson while Mayfield had to spend a year with Freddie Kitchens before they found Stefanski. Both brought dumpster fire teams to playoff wins in the first couple years, which to me is a very significant accomplishment for both. Interestingly, both suffered injuries in the following season that derail a 3-1 start for the browns and an 8-3 start for us last year. Mayfield ended up traded away after that and wandered in the desert for two years but now seems to have found a new home in Tampa. Lawrence looks sharp as ever so far this year...so this looks like the place where their stories really diverge, but the similarities are pretty significant for the two men. Mayfield was always very talented, had he not torn that shoulder up he's likely viewed much more positively today.

You owe me a monitor.

Also LOLBrowns at paying Watson to be more garbage than Mayfield, grape jerb Haslam. This is a prime example of what happens when the owner won't just sit back and let his leaders lead. Goes all the way back to Johnny foobaw, that team has shot themselves in the foot, hand and face when it comes to QB.
