    I like your last 2 points.

    I'm gonna disagree about Haslam. 1st, it's his franchise.  2nd, he is the guy responsible for hiring Paul DePodesta and Eric Berry - which means he can also give 1 or both of them a mercy flush from the FO if needed.  Even if one or both came via a consultant's recommendation - sometimes that doesn't work out (ie; Banner, Farmer, etc).  Anyway, those 2 guys are responsible for what players they draft, trade for or acquire as free agents. Haslam hires the HC too. However, he does let his HC hire his coaching staff although I'm pretty confident he gets input from the FO before making final decisions.

    Eric Berry?

  • Read this Cleveland.com article that suggests he may opt for the “speed bridge” procedure that Aaron Rodgers had as opposed to the traditional surgery that Kirk Cousins had.

    Yes at this point I've so soured on Watson I do recommend he jumps off the Loraine Carnegie Bridge, the I-480 bridge over the Cuyahoga works for me too.   That will speedily end our current QB nightmare. 

  • Looks like they have named Winston the starting QB through the rest of the season after being named AFC Offensive OPTW. And Flacco has been named the Colts starter over Richardson too. Go figure.?

    Richardson looks like a bum. Glad Flacco gets to keep playing

    Is anyone else slightly amused that Indy got burned for a second time giving up a first round draft pick for a guy named Richardson?

    Almost like it was a bad idea to draft a 1st round QB with a sub 55% completion percentage.

    Who had limited experience in college who was thrown into action his rookie season.

    It baffles me how stupid NFL teams are regarding QBs.

    I hear ya!  Believe it or not, it's been going on for quite some time.  It's amazing a great QB like Warren Moon had to play a long time in the CFL before the NFL even gave him  chance.  Kurt Warner also had to play Arena Football and in NFL Europe before an opportunity like Trent Green getting injured in the final preseason game launched an NFL MVP and Super Bowl Champion QB nobody saw coming in his very 1st starting opportunity.

    I hate both of them, especially with otani deferral contract that just lets the dodgers have an even bigger payroll. But that said, I hate the Yankees much more.

  • I've been a Yankee fan for 1/2 year longer than I've been a Browns fan.  Mantle & Maris.  The two Boyers.  Tom Tresh, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson, Joe Pepitone, Tony Kubek, Jim Boutin, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Al Downing, Mel Stottlemeyer, Bobby Murcer, Roy White, etc., etc.

    Another good year for the Yanks.  But my Browns, my favorite of favorites by far...can't sniff a championship.  🙁 

  • If we could get Richardson for a 3rd and maybe a 6th, I'd take a chance on that.  Don't even think of playing him until 2027.  Ride with Winston this year and next.

    Could we unlock the talent..??  I think it is probably worth a chance.

    They did a Brownsian 5th inning in a won game with their ace on the mound. Who knew??
