    1) Demote or eliminate DePodesta

    2) Rebuild the trenches

    3) Cut season ticket prices

    4) DRAFT SOME LBs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      How would anyone feel about bringing back John Dorsey?

      I'm not sure exactly how much impact he has had in Detroit, and I think many believe that's done on the driving force of Dan Campbell's passion but the roster had to be assembled.

        Yeah!  We don't need no stinking 2 time coach of the year!  Let's bring back the bill-hilly Kitchens!

        The guy is below 500 as a head coach for the Browns. Cleveland continues year after year to be in the top half of penalized teams. Continued to start Watson when we all knew he was cooked. Had some clock management issues.

        I'm not sold on the guy but it seems players do play hard for him. 

        I'm not watching hard knocks but wonder what others who do watch think of the "behind the scenes"

          John Dorsey GM/Mike Vrabel HC combo would be interesting. 

          I'd be curious if he'd want to come back here though.

          If Dorsey would come back, you would be talking about a 100% complete rehaul of the Browns organization. You aren't keeping guys around that were Sashi/Berry analytical guys with Dorsey. He already went through that once.

            Watson gave us the best chance of winning games.  Winston gave both teams a half decent chance at winning as he regularly threw passes to either team.

            John Dorsey is yesterday's news as far as Cleveland is concerned.

              Agree to disagree on Watson. Guy was 1-6 and had the worst stats of nearly all starting QBs.

                Yep. Watson was a loser - a loser of the ball. 12 ints in 2019 alone.

                  The only way Watson can help us win games is to designate him as our opponent's starting QB

                    Fire Depo. His so-called Strategy is a loser 

                    Fire Berry, his drafts have sucked

                    Hire a football guy as GM who knows players not analytics 

                    Find a way to get rid of Watson

                      Admittedly I haven’t watched as closely this year but what we can do…

                      1. Depo gone.

                      2. Force Watson to just sit at home. 
                      3.  Fire Dorsey.

                      What we shouldn’t do…

                      4. Resist the urge to get Pennies on the dollar in a Myles Garrett Trade 

                      5. Run back the GM/HC combo.

                        What do you think we would get for Myles?

                        I think you and I are probably miles apart on this. I think someone would give us a pretty hefty return, especially a team that feels it is one great defensive player away from a Super Bowl.

                          I think we are close. I don’t know the offer but It wouldn’t be enough.  You don’t replace Myles by sending him to a contender and getting draft picks at the end of rounds.   He’s 29.   I’m watching 17 year vet Calais Campbell now.  I’ll take my chances Myles plays well for another 3-4 years and maybe we get this right at the end of that time.

                            From what I'm seeing, there's a group thinking that because we're losing football games that it means that Stefanski sucks, stinks, whatever, and has to go.  To that I say, Do we understand how important the QB position is to the success of a football team?  

                            What was he supposed to do to win with our QB room?  With our porous offensive line?  Our lack of ability to run the ball?   What magic tricks was he supposed to pull out of his (sleeve?) ?  🙂  He had Watson not playing pro bowl style...and not progressing rapidly.  And ultimately getting hurt and out for the year, again, and again.  Then he had to go to Winston, who's a great person....but he's a turnover machine.  Always has been.  And DTR.  Let's put aside that he's a 2 time coach of the year.  How could we TELL that he's a bad coach?  Don Shula in his football intellectual prime couldn't have done much better with what Stef has had to work with.  

                            The HC cannot block open holes for the RB's and cannot throw TD passes.  Until we shore up the OL and get a competent QB, nothing will change.

                              I'm absolutely fine with them bringing back Stefanski next year.

                              But they need to go back to HIS offense. With his offense, he took a team with five different quarterbacks starting to a 11-6 record in 2023. 

                              They might have to keep Watson around, but there's no reason they can't bring in someone else to start. Let Watson be the world's most expensive backup. Hell, let him be the world's most expensive #3 QB.

                                I'm fine with him coming back too.  I don't like the continually fire coaches however I have my issues with him.   I'm not a fan of how he handled Watson, how long it took him to give up play calling, clock management mistakes, the Browns are continually top in penalties, he's a sub 500 coach.   

                                Flip what you said around - What has he done to convince you he's such a great coach?

                                  I agree with you. 
                                  And I should clarified…I’d keep Stefanski and I’d move on from Berry.  
                                   

                                  Stefanski would have a job lined up tomorrow if he was fired tonight.  And any shuffle of him out and someone else in- does that move the needle at all?  Maybe a fresh voice?  Do we need that - the team is fighting.  Last years effort with the revolving door of QBs none of which are top half of the league was impressive.

                                    This would be my answer to your question USFBrown.  And how much has switching the play callers helped?  You still have the same players trying to execute the plays.

                                    Last year Stef put the analytics playbook on the shelf and called the games such that whenever he could take a FG, he did.  Just to get some freakin' points.  But that's not what DePodesta wants.  And he's got Haslem's ear.  Do you remember DePo's statement a few years back?  We're not interested in 4 yard runs.  We want 13 yard passes.  Inevitably, everybody reports to someone.

                                    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

                                      1) Jimmy takes out an ad in the Plain Dealer and apologizes to the Cleveland Browns fan base. He refers to himelf as "dumbass owner" several times.

                                      2) Jimmy hires a scientist to invent a time machine.

                                      3) Using the time machine, Jimmy travels back in time to 2012 and prevents his younger self from buying the Browns. 

                                      4) Using "Back to The Future" time travel rules, the future has now been altered in 2024. The Browns have a different owner, have won several Super Bowls, and are now a football dynasty in 2024.

                                        Players fighting is a good point, but I don't see any other point.  Like I said - I'm not for firing all the time but I don't get why people think Stefanski is some great HC.  I agree we need some continuity but how much longer do we give this guy?

                                          Giving up play calling should in theory allow the coach to perform better clock management and overall game management.  I remember a stint where there was some really bad clock management early in the season.

                                          I'm wondering if that time machine can find Lindy Infante's offense, and Matthews, Johnson, & Johnson at LB
