Thanks GMI hear you Max, let me share some facts that are indisputableI don't believe in Dillon Gabriel for redraft purposes and don't think this 3rd round Rookie QB is ready to go out there and lead the offense on Sunday
I have skill players like Judkins and both Tight Ends spread across several leagues, I just don't see Gabriel being ready and I think we might see something lie the Bengals over the last 2 games
I hope I'm wrong...but I doubt this kid is ready
You're telling me that 31 teams passed on this kid twice but the Browns knew he was a steal in the 3rd?
I can no longer give the Browns the benefit of the doubt and there are other teams that also fit into this box
I have no skin in the game from the fantasy football perspective.
I don’t know if Gabriel is the answer for the Browns but I know Flacco is not.
Why not put the kid in to see what you have to help with the Browns 2026 draft?
Gabriel is a 24 yr old rookie QB...Fact
Gabriel played for 3 different colleges running from programs where he could not beat out other superior QBs so he darts thru the portal to another school, UCF, OK and Oregon, Fact
Gabriel stands tall at 5 foot 10, they say he's 5-11 but look when he stands around tho other players, he might be 5-9.5
Gabriel is under 6 feet tall and playing Quarterback in the NFL, Fact
Gabriel weighs in at about 200, that's pretty small to play Quarterback. By any measurements Gabriel would be one of the smallest Quarterbacks starting an NFL game this Sunday, Fact
I wish him the best of luck this weekend but we could see Sanders as early as this weekend
lol....this is silly.
I'll ignore the fact that you made the same point twice. He left UCF for a much better and bigger opportunity. Nobody runs from a Mickey Mouse college to a real football powerhouse to start as their QB. That's not how these things work.
2nd year at OU, he completes 70% of his passes for 3,660 yards 30 TDs and added12 TDs on the ground. He transferred out because OU's OC left and his draft grades weren't there. He didn't want to chance it with a defensive minded coach and Oregon just put a transfer QB into the NFL first round. Oh, and the superior QB he couldn't beat out? Benched before September ended and transferred out. I'm assuming you're doing bits here.
He's starting for Cleveland because he's not only better than Sanders, he's got mobility and with a leaky line, the Browns have to turn to a mobile QB who is accurate and experienced. A QB that beat some of the best teams in college. Sanders shrank in the biggest games. And to the extent he does try to run, he runs backwards which, while entertaining in college, is a recipe for disaster in the NFL.
You start with an adjective to discredit the facts/post that were listed, straight out of the GM playbook.
Why is it silly to question DG's abilities to play the QB position in the NFL?
Your post is emotional and filled with happy thoughts but I don't see many facts and none of that rosy fluff you posted changes a single word that I wrote
Dillon Gabriel doesn't suddenly walk on the field 6 foot 3 after your post does he? He's still 5-10 and you know why? Because it's a F-A-C-T!
That's why I took the time to get his measurements in print, NFL QBs for the most part that experience success these days are built like Josh Allen, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and I'm still not sure which if any of those 4 would have had success in Cleveland so add it all up and Gabriel is not only diminutive but has an uphill climb just wearing a Browns expansion uniform
"He's starting for Cleveland because he's not only better than Sanders, he's got mobility and with a leaky line"...Opinion not a fact
