The Savage Truth
-
Is this a joke?
I'm sorry but did you just call Alex Hall a "borderline starter"?!
He had 10 tackles last season in 14 games...the guy isn't even an above average special teams player
Savage's apparent obsession with Hall only further proves how inept he is at evaluating talent
Brodney Pool was never above average...he had like 1 memorable play in his entire Browns career
Derek Anderson is one of the worst QB's in the NFL....that pro bowl year was a complete farce
Braylon Edwards made the Pro Bowl in 2007....again, complete farce
We hate on Phil Savage because he deserves it

I may be off on Hall I will admit that, but Philly obviously see's something in him.
I never said Pool was above average I said he was a solid pro which he is.
DA is still young and still has potential despite doing nothing on a team with absolutely no weapons and no right side of an o-line. When he was equipped with a line and weapons and people not breathing down his neck and just letting him play he played. And I am not a DA homer. I am just saying.
And as much as I hate to say it Braylon is an above average WR.
People loved Savage when he was here and thought he as the savior just like people do with Heckert/Holmgren now. I think its funny that once the guy is gone he is scum of the earth. Truth is he wasn't the best GM an by far wasn't the worst. Call it how it is thats all I am saying. I cited good moves. He also had bad ones (like trading up for Bell) to say he is as bad a GM as Matt Millin is a joke.
I think the biggest mistake that Savage made was letting Romeo coach his team. Romeo was awful.

Crennel isn't a bad coach. He's just not the type of guy you want as head coach.

do you think keeping romeo and savage one more year would of set this team back to the point of no return for the upcoming entrance of mike holmgen.
I bet you there would of been alot more weapons than there is now.
Back to the point... everyone loved savage. When we drafted Joe Thomas everyone was relieved and when we moved up to take quinnn i swear i could hear the whole city of cleveland blow a load. Yea i know what it sounds like cause i blew mine too. Its funny cause the vast majority of people who rode the quinn dick in the end of the savage/crennel era should of been ticked cause that my friends was the beginning of the end for quinn. why would you waant the regime that put all their stock into quinn to get out of town. and i know the majority of quinn fans wanted him to be the guy without crennel and savage their. HAHA
Thats all we been doing since we've been back, expecting a new face in town to win with the other guys leftovers. I was a big quinn fan till the day we fired both crennel and savage. put all our marbles into mangini, and then a year later hire Holmgren to fix everything from the top down. Putting him in a bad spot with mangini. How do you fire a coach that ended a year on a 4 game winning streak (which did save his job). Well you can't unless you want to lose a little bit of the credibility that gave you the job in the first place. Mark my words unless mangini becomes a 110% holmgren guy he will be gone in a year or two.
Building the team the way he wants it not the way mangini wants it makes it easier to fire or not offer a contract th EM in the future. Im gonna call it now John Gruden will be the coach of the Cleveland Browns by 2013.

We would have been in absolute cap hell, with about four draft picks to use and two-seasons of dumping over-hyped stiffs ahead of us.
Holmgren probably wouldn't have even taken the job.
I kind of liked some of the things Savage did too, because it wasn't my money he was guaranteeing away. However, if you can't see the great things that Mangini has done to rid this team of inflated contracts and over-hyped-oft-injured players, there isn't much more we can discuss here.
-
They were high-fiving him for picking up Alex Hall (he's a consultant for the Eagles now).
All I could think of listening to this guy is that if it weren't for Matt Millen having a job in Detroit,...he would have been Matt Millen himself. How many players who can't play did this guy draft?

Not to mention Romeo wanted to build a team a lot like Mangini is now but Savage wanted big, fast guys in skill positions regardless of their ability. It was a match made in complete hell and I will admit, I thought the Thomas/Quinn move was excellent at the time mostly because we got Thomas and Quinn should have been better than he is. But I didn't realize then just how bad he f'ed up this team's salary cap and how he mortgaged the future in order to move up with no real plan as to how to reclaim picks in the future. Mangini must have just shook his head when he saw the lack of skill and the contracts this team had when he arrived. I compare it to Barak and McCain running for president. Why would anybody want that job in those conditions? Mangini took it, and he busted his ass to correct it as fast as possible. Now Holmie is involved in a team that is much better off because of Mangini (who is not even a GM) and we have a legit franchise and future in this town again.
The 2007 season as exciting as it was, was nothing but a paper tiger of a football team. I can't remember a time when a team got by within an inch of their life so many times. Ball bouncing the right way etc. I loved it, but by no means saw a good roster or a foundation in place, especially on defense. Phil wanted flash and Romeo wanted IQ and character. I for one will side with the coach over the GM everytime. Phil just doesn't get it. He's a douche.
Good luck Philly. You have already made two questionable moves since you got that tool. McNabb could have gotten you much more in return and Hall is a 3rd and long pass rusher worth about the league minimum in salary and you lost Brown in the process. Then you threw in Gocong who Mangini has been eyeing since he entered the draft and who may very well be a 100+ tackle LB each year in a 3-4. Savage is a salesman and he gets people to listen, but he really has no clue how to build a football team. He gained all of his credibility with the Ravens and just how much did he deserve? I mean, they seem to be drafting and signing pretty well without him.

He's that undersized OLB who gets off the ball really quickly and puts his hands up. You see him typically in 3rd and long as a quick pass rusher. But you will also never see him shed a block or actually get a sack. Savage is enamoured with his quickness I guess but he really is a full-time bench player. Maybe in Philly's system he can get 3 or 4 sacks a year but for us, he was useless. And anybody who is high-fiving the acquisition of Alex Hall either won a bet, or has no clue. Judging by the return on McNabb and the giving away of Gocong and Brown, I would say it's the latter.

Above average? Above average???? He was drafted THIRD OVERALL, who cares if he was above average. That is a "Franchise Player" pick ... he is no franchise player.You cannot continually drop the ball when you draft high in the first round. (and I'm talking about Savage, not Braylon)
Savage was one for four in the first round: Edwards is in no way or shape worth a #3 overall, Wimbley was drafted #13 overall and now he's worth, what? a fourth rounder? And he threw a first rounder AND a second rounder at Dallas to snare Brady Freaking Quinn who was dropping like a rock.
What was your argument again ... Alex Hall and Brodney Pool?
I must have missed the announcement ... is it IDIOT week around here?
Zombo
Zombo, usually I think you're ridiculous but I'm with you on this one. Savage was a joke. He did nothing but draft players that couldn't start on any other team in the league and paid them a lot of money. I mean, he took Frye in the 4th round!!! And if it weren't for Savage letting him start for so long, he would be out of the league as well.
That's right, he took a short QB with zero arm strength and a very low IQ from The University of Akron, in the 4th round. Mind you, the team had tons of holes to fill at that point.

My argument wasn't that Savage was the man or the best GM in football. My argument was that he had a decent eye for evaluating talent and that he was a better GM then Matt Millen, which he is. And I backed that up by citing rookies he brought into the league and became servicible NFLers. I never said that Braylon was a cornerstone of a franchise but he is an above average WR and a much better WR then anyone on our roster now and better then any other WR that has been on the Browns since the return. Basically what I am saying is BRaylon wasn't a complete miss like ALOT of our previous first rounders before him. He did become a good pro unlike all our first rounders from 1999 - 2003
And Alex Hall and Pool were a very small part of my argument. But since you want to talk about them ... Pool when healthy had some good games, and is going to probably start on a good Jets team. Alex Hall and some BS picks just landed us a pro bowl corner with a couple years left in his tank so the Eagles, another very good team, must see something in him. I never once said any of these guys were pro bowlers (except the 4 that actually were) but they are solid NFL role players. And teams need role players as well.
And out of his 4 first rounders Quinn was the only one who was awful. After Wimbleys rookie year Browns fans loved Wimbley and Savage for drafting him. Granted he never built off his rookie year, but that could have been a product of poor coaching.
JT is obviously a stud and Braylon is a above average WR. Granted I understand your argument for Braylon not panning but to be a superstar, but look at our drafts pre savage ... none of our first rounders were anything but busts. So I would take a guy who can play above average at his position, and make a pro bowl here and there rather then a Tim Couch, Gerrad Warren, C. Brown, or Willie Green any day.
My whole argument was more or less why do people hate Savage so much. He did some good things. He also did his share of bad things. To put him in a class of Matt Millen though is stupid. If you want to put him in the Matt Millin Catagory good for you ... maybe it is idiots week around here. Don't come at me knocking me though for putting thought into a post. We are all Browns fans can't we play together and get along??
You are a typical bitter ass Browns fan still hating on a guy who has nothing to do with the team. You are probably the type of dude who's favorite player on his team is the back up QB.

Zombo, just out of curiosity who would you have wanted to drafted in round 1 of the 2005 draft?? And be honest back then who did you want?
-
to say savage is better than perhaps the worst ever GM in professional sports isn't saying much. phil missed on more picks than he hit, regardless of the round. for every one serviceable player he found, i'll name you 2 that are pumping gas or flipping burgers.
hitting top picks is easy, much easier than late rounders. JT was a can't miss pick.....rubin was good judgement.....EW has a good pick....DQ is not worthy of his slotting....any other picks still on this team? only 16 of his 30 picks as browns GM are still playing football, with 5-7 of those 16 actually contributing or starting.
so, yeah, i agree. he's better than millen. being better than xxxxing terrible is still not good by any means.
-
Savage doesn't even belong in the same room as Mangini, Heckert or King Mike..2 years and no one has offered him a 2nd shot at GM..Why Not?,...because he sucked

He did nothing but draft players that couldn't start on any other team in the league and paid them a lot of money. I mean, he took Frye in the 4th round!!! And if it weren't for Savage letting him start for so long, he would be out of the league as well.
That's right, he took a short QB with zero arm strength and a very low IQ from The University of Akron, in the 4th round. Mind you, the team had tons of holes to fill at that point.

So if we give you the low arm strenght and University of Akron as valid points, you're doing 2-5 for your post.
Kinda Phil Savage-esque, if I don't say.
Forgive me, maybe I should have googled before I made valid points. The point is, Frye was aweful and it took all of 3 seconds of watching him to see he had zero NFL ability. And yes, he was stupid. Did you ever hear him speak or watch him play?
For the record, I said the same about Quinn and I don't find it surprising that both were shipped out of town. And to say my 2 for 5 is "Savage-esque" kind of solidifies my point. Savage was a bad GM and that's what this thread is about. It would be very hard to find somebody who thinks otherwise about him.
