Braylon Edwards Traded to the Jets

bonedawg

Just popped in to a Jets forum. Their fans are mixed. Some saying "Mangini has helped this team more as the Browns coach than he did as our coach." Other saying "primadonna that can't catch the f'cking ball." Most posters are concerned with the picks they gave up more than anything. Ironically enough, they were bitching about Stuckey having butterfingers!

- The Browns need a banner draft in 2010. We're likely to pick near the top and either take a QB or trade down a little. Now we also have some extra picks, so there's room to maneuver. I'm sure they'd like to end up with at least 4 first day picks including one in the top 12.

Please draft defense first, someone who will knock you on your can.

Browns

Do you think that cribbs will start playing WR again?

One espn article said it was a third and fifth. The third round can become a second rounder if braylon catcds a certain number of passes

Would love to see what Ryan would do with a little more talent to work with. How about a Reed/Palamalu kick ass safety and a ILB with speed and a real mean disposition. Could also throw in a shutdown corner as well. Hell, might as well ask for a pass rusher as well.

As a jet fan who felt Mangini got kind of shafted in NY after building what is a pretty good team, I thought I'd pitch in a few points:

1. Stuckey is a good to above average slot receiver with very above average hands. Yes, he's a 7th round pick, but he fell in the draft because of a broken foot. Might have gone 3rd or 4th otherwise. He did fantastic in preseason and has been clutch in games.

2. Trusnik was a fan favorite who performed great when he was on the field. Quick. Good value.

3. As many have pointed out, you're also getting a 3rd and 5th for what would otherwise have been nothing. Besides BE is killing your team. Established veterans in NY may be able to control him and maybe they have special stickum he can put on his hands.

4. Mangini is doing here some of the same things he did with the Jets when he first arrived... getting rid of some potentially problematic veterans, getting some solid role players, acquiring draft picks, and building from the inside out.

You may not want him as a coach in 3 years, but you'll be happy you had him for 3. And he has looked different on the sideline in Cleveland than in NY.

Back on topic, I love the trade. His antics have grown super old, and thats just the crap we see. Sounds like this guy was a megadouche behind the scenes as well.

Here's my advantage in having the surname 'Edwards'. Jersey isn't completely useless.

I can't fooking wait to watch ESPN sportscenter in the coming weeks to see Braylon streaking wide open with the game tied at 17-all, and have a perfectly thrown Sanchez bomb clank right off his palms ... I will pee myself.

If you get tired of the dull press conferences.

Besides that, I did say I thought he kind of got shafted in NY. Still, it's a media whoring position.

Feet -- that is the nickname I always gave Braylon since his hands couldn't be worse than his feet. Good riddance.

No I think the question was, how do you think he has looked different on the sideline here?

Believe it or not lol he's showing more emotion. Also, he actually coached Edwards up after the roughing the passer penalty. He simply benched Elam for that crap in a game against Cinci last year. Looked like Elam was punching the dude but he was just trying to strip the ball after the guy was down.

Let's give the Moderators here a round of applause for merging the 15 or so Braylon Edwards Trade threads into one neat and clean folder ... not to mention the multiple Stuckey threads and other related matter today thats needed cleaned up.

Perhaps you haven't noticed ... which is a excellent trait for the Mods.

Nice work fella's

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also, this is a very favorable move for the browns: get something for nothing; addition by subtraction; get young, solid role players; new picks

Not only that, he's a Cleveland guy.

A dream come true for me.... give him 500k per TD, commision only!
