Smiling Mandrill posted:I will be pissed as hell if the Browns draft Mariota. You drafted JFF at least give him one loving year to sink, or swim. Worst case is that he totally shits the bed, and we have a high draft pick next year in what will be a stronger QB draft. Well actually worst case is he does really well for the first half of the season then shits the bed, and we finish just good enough to miss all the can't miss guys again. What I'm saying is SAVE US CARDALE 2016! People say this a lot, but even with as bad as the Browns' QB situation has been the last...whatever number of years, they haven't picked earlier than third since they took Trent Richardson after two of the best QB prospects in the league were picked 1-2. You have to be extremely loving bad to get the first overall pick, and I'd rather not watch the Browns be extremely loving bad. On top of that, you have to do it in a year when Andrew Luck enters the draft, not a year when Blake Bortles does.

He has a lot of the physical characteristics that are needed in the AFCN. Hes huge can take a beating, and has a rocket arm. In the frozen windy hellhole that is the AFCN during playoff season Cardale is the kind of guy you'd want behind center.

But I take no responsibility for what was surely my quick cash scheme and the downfall of Flying J. e: I bet the homeless guy that said to draft JFF was the executive who took the fall for all this Flying J crap and lost his job.

Then let's see if he starts and if he does well wait a year or two and build everything else up. Accumulate some picks to move up and draft when he or a better prospect becomes available.

I'm not sure the Pats are the most talent-heavy team in the NFL, but you're probably right about whoever that would be, Broncos, Seahawks, whoever. Pettine actually appeared to be pretty good in his first year, pretty conservative in the final 2 minutes of the first half a couple times but overall I think he is competent. Then we went and let Kyle Shanahan go after one year because the whole environment is toxic, and now to replace him we have a QB coach who has only ever called the plays in college at San Jose State. In fact, DeFilippo interviewed for Browns OC last year when we hired Shanahan, so he is literally our second choice to do the job. I didn't love Shanahan last year, but he was clearly above average. As for the front office, Ray Farmer sure as gently caress took a hit this past season and offseason, huh? I thought he was supposed to be the hot prospect guy as a GM?? Then he drafted two apparent busts in the same first round??? But picked up starters or time-share guys (RB, CB) in the later rounds???? Also violated league rules and didn't even help us win because of it?????

Insider trading falls under very specific guidelines. That's why something known as a 10-b 5 was created, to outline it specifically. Not to be confused with 10-b, which has to do with fraud. I wouldn't use those as examples of criminal law simply bc very specific vs broad

I imagine the situation might be similar here. They can get you another way if they want. The Federal Government can ALWAYS get you if they want to. There was a guy in mergers and acquisitions at a Big 4 firm (90% sure PWC) who had a mistress. He would brag to his mistress about the deals he was working on "I'm working on a big time merger between X and Y blablabla $XX stock price" which you would think would bore her to death. However, as soon as he left she would call some other guy and they were making stock trades off this. After a couple of years the SEC noticed, traced it to her, figured out he was tipping her off on accident, and he went to jail. If only they cared as much about boating up Goldman Sachs hah (not funny  )The reason firms all print their stuff in house now is a copy shop near Wall Street used to trade off financial statements and stuff like that they were contracted to print. I'm not sure if anyone went to jail in that one. Actually, I am not even sure if this is true, but my college professor told me and I always thought those employees at the Kinkos or whatever making 9 dollars an hour were geniuses until they got caught.
