    That is true. But the GM and Coach need to bring in players to make those plays! Cant make plays if you have no players capable of making a big play!

  • It is simple, Mangini misses Callahan.

    QB thing more complicated than we could know? I know one thing- a guy with a 30-something qb rating needs to be benched yesterday. I've seen every Browns qb since Milt Plum, and I'm having a hard time remembering one who's looked worse than Anderson the last 20 games he's played in. Mangini's letting his ego get in the way of common sense

    Browns qb poll

    I'll even give you a mulligan that maybe Mangini knows more than 99% of the fans that voted, but that doesn't take into account guys like Rutigliano, Dieken, and Marino who are saying the same thing.

    "The bottom line for them right now is they don't have a real good football team. They're not playing even to the level that the talent is expressed and it's going to be a very, very difficult circumstance. The important thing in my view is very simply this: You cannot lose your football team. "

    Uh, that's a quote from Marty Schottenheimer from another thread. I repeat They're not playing even to the level that the talent is expressed . Bad coaching, bad motivation.

    So since we're at an expansion team level, no loss to tell Mangini to take a hike and bring in a proven winner next year.

    How does schottenheimer Know what the team is capable of? what I see is a team on the defensive side of the ball responding to the coaching now on the offensive side of the ball its a lack of talent in primary spots and bad, bad, bad, bad play calling which is why mangini is going to have carl smith call it for the rest of the season.

    Marty is in the top ten NFL in winning percentage of coaches. I think he knows what talent looks like. Arguably, the 2009 Browns have more talent at virtually every position than the 1999 Browns yet statistically, they're worse in almost any category you care to mention. That, my friend is serious underperformance.

    Mangini shot himself squarely in the foot putting DA out there. You do realize that with 38 more passing attempts, Anderson will qualify as the lowest rated quarterback IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE NFL. That is SERIOUS suckage. In fact, if Mangini dares to trot DA out against the Ravens, he'd better feel fortunate they don't sell bottled beer anymore- I guarantee you it would be Bottlegate II.

    Please don't insult my intelligence Mr Mangini, telling me you're seeing "progress" in that regard.

    Dan Marino ain't the sharpest tool in the shed chief..Sam R while a nice guy, played when they wore leather hemets..literally..a nice old man I'm sure..I don't know Dieken.

    So lets say he throws Quinn back in and he continues to suck like he did for a game and a half, now the media will blame Mangini for flip flopping and being indecisive..There's no winning that shit storm.

    Edwards and Winslow had to go,you all know that.

    This team was bad and undiscipline with a s**tload of UFL players, with more then a few still on the team.

    The defense is playing well and the offense is struggling..I get that, this team is playing hard and if anyone says their quitting that BS.

    Building an NFL franchise the RIGHT way takes time and Mangini was there in NE and did it with the Jets, drafted all ALL pro players like Revis, Mangold, Washinton, Harris..Was able to convince Favre, Pace Faneca to come to NY..

    When they let him go the NY press couldn't get ONE player to say anything bad about him..and they tried..Why would 10 agree to come to Cleveland? I tell you why because there character guys, hard workers who don't mind being held accountable at all times and they know Mangini is an excellent young coach..There not influenced by a bunch of journalist (english majors mind you) who never strapped on a set of freakin pads..I'm going by the guys who play for Mangini, not some moronic sports writer trying to sell newspapers and make a name for himself nationally by bashing our coach..TO HELL WITH THAT

  • Although, I would rather see Quinn in there struggling and growing, rather than

    DA being who he really is. Face it, DA has no upside, and he's boring.

    Seeing if Quinn can grow would be a nice change from boredom.

    But is that worth eleven million? The OC kept trotting DA out there, continually embarrassing

    himself and the Browns, for some kind of reason.

    Whoa...slow down the f-bombs chief. Good to see the passion. You're forgetting Kris Jenkins. Per Chris Mortensen:

    Nose tackle Kris Jenkins was particularly bothered by the firing, praising the former coach for bringing him to New York and giving him an opportunity to rejuvenate his career. He also thought Mangini deserved another year with the team.

    "I'm going to miss him," Jenkins said. "He didn't do what everybody thought he should do. He didn't go with the flow or just do things to make people happy. He took it upon himself to go against the grain and be a man about his situation."

    Of the guys that did bitch about Mangini (if you can find them) show me one who was a decent player. They were the least penalized team in the league for the three years he was there and he had them act like disciplined pros. They're obviously doing so well now that they have a few more talented pieces (Scott, Sanchez, Leonhard) and their coach is a "player's coach". Great for the sound bites but can't manage a time out in crunch time.

  • Okay..took out the f-bombs..weren't out of anger just tryin to make a point of emphasis. I am so sick of ESPN

    Wasn't telling you to take them out! LOL. Just slow it down 🙂

    Gee, leather helmets? try telling that to any Steelers fan that their Super Bowl wins in the 70's & 80's don't count- they'll punch your light out. Uh, that "nice old man", Rutigliano is probably the most brilliant offensive mind ever to coach the Browns. You remember the Kardiac Kids? Probably not- those were Rutigliano's teams. Don't know Dieken? You just shot your credibility right there. FYI, Doug played 14 years at left tackle for the Browns, and from 1984 to the present did color TV commentary, & does the radio analysis. So unlike you, Doug's seen every freaking Browns game from a player's perspective since 1971. BTW, he's reticent to call an active player out, pretty much has free access to the Browns locker room , so when he does torpedo someone, you'd damn well better listen.

    So lets say he throws Quinn back in and he continues to suck like he did for a game and a half, now the media will blame Mangini for flip flopping and being indecisive..There's no winning that shit storm.

    Bull**** maybe you missed my link to the Cleveland.com poll- 99% of the fans that voted want DA shipped to Siberia on the first plane out of town. The only thing that can hurt Mangini is continuing to trot DA out there week after week- in fact I hope he does- what does that say for his sanity when he CONTINUES TO START THE WORST QUARTERBACK IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL?

    Edwards and Winslow had to go,you all know that.

    yeah, so? tell me something I didn't know. Stone Hands and the soon to be Crip. NY and TB sure appreciate their talents.

    Building a franchise RIGHT doesn't mean throwing your hand-picked erstwhile best pal GM under the bus when things aren't going right. So much for front office stability.

    With all due respects to our most honored permanently banned poster Ghoolie. Mangini is in a long line of assistant coaches that were latte fetchers for BB in New England that ultimately flopped as head coaches. Oh, maybe I'm wrong- but blowout losses to the Ravens & Steelers this year at CBS and Mangini is done in Cleveland. Take it to the bank.

  • For the umpteenth time....WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF KOKINIS' FIRING! WE DON'T KNOW THAT HE THREW HIS PAL UNDER THE BUS!
