The Browns Board

  • kevin colbert has been GM since 2000....so methinks its tomlins influence by dictating the players he needs. i refuse to believe that he just forgot how to draft.

  • Any team that could acquire BB is trying their damn hardest to get a deal done, no matter what Adam Schefter says......Any team in the top ten that landed BB, if he were traded to them, would instantly be a contender. Even the Browns, and I'd even say the Browns would have a great chance at winning the division.

    However, if a trade does happen with BB, I will be very pissed. Not often does a QB come along that goes 14-0 in their rookie regular season and leads his team to an AFCC game then wins the SB the very next year. Hate BB all you want but you know that the Steelers would be very foolish if they trade him.

    Why would the Patriots want to let go of Bill Belichick for a draft pick?

    Around this Board here, BB is Bill Belichick, former Browns coach.

    PB is Paul Brown

    JB is Jim Brown

    BK is Bernie Kosar

    There are others but I won't school you on them now

    If you are referring to someone else, you need to use a different acronym.

  • If the Browns took Big Gay Ben, I wouldn't mind. Shit, let's give him a try. Love to rub it in the Steelers fan base face.

    Like I said, we could take him off their hands. The deal would be him along with their first round pick at #18 in exchange for our #7 pick. I don't care if Steeler trolls don't think that is a good deal. We would be washing their dirty laundry and that comes with a price. If they don't like it, go talk to Al Davis. If they like it then the Steelers could select Brady Clausen.

    It's no use. I've posted all the players Tomlins brought in that now start or have a major impact on our team, it all just gets ignored. I've posted late round picks and UDFAs that made the team and doing way better than expected, but it's all ignored. It's way to early to pass judgement on most of the players Tomlin has drafted becuase they are all still very young, but this board acts like all of them will be busts and will never improve. Just under half of our 22 starters (not to mention longer snapper, punter and return man, and most other special teams positions) will be Tomlin players next year, and that's only Tomlin's 4th year with the team. In 4 year, most Browns will be Holmgren players becuase the Browns suck. Tomlin inerited a Super Bowl caliber team and his players are filling in and keeping with par. They also think bringing back experienced veterans as DEPTH (not to start) becuase the removal of the salary cap allows us to spend more money than usual to improve depth and not just pay starters means Tomlin is desperate for players. But in reallity, it makes perfect sense to have experienced starters as backups.

    No, no, I agree with you. Tomlin has brought in players that have a major impact on your team.... a 9-7 team. (Is it Tomlin making these choices? Don't you have a GM and an owner who are also responsible)

    It's hard to be good when two of your three best defenders are hurt the entire season....We certianly didn't lack talent on offense, we just had a Retarded offensive corrdinator that even the Browns were smart enough to fire.

    I think it would be impossible for me to cheer for Rothlisberger in a Browns uniform. I'd still be a Browns fan, of course, but...

    If he took the browns deep into the playoffs I think you would find it in your heart to forgive him.

    I think he'd also have to apologize to the girls he had his way with, and show some signs that his character is evolving in a good direction.

    In the words of Bill Parcels: "You are what your record is." The Browns would have been a lot better without all their injuries over the years as well. Perhaps you will get these guys back and your record will improve. Perhaps it will be worse, perhaps the same. But, the Steelers were a 9-7 team, just like the Browns were a 5-11 team.

    But, you didn't answer the question: Who is primarily responsible for talent acquisition. You make it sound like it is Tomlin. Is that true?

  • If Gay Ben went to the browns, would he then be the greatest QB in browns history?

    Perhaps. Maybe. Who Knows. He does have alot of wins on his records and his play on the field shows that.

  • We got better without our best defensive players...you got considerably worse.

    Once again showing missed picks and poor depth. If your team hinges on 3 players its laughable that your getting better as you get older.

    Your defense was made up of players who should be in the arena league. It couldn't get much worse. Your lock down defense finished #31 overall last year....

    All defenses will get worse if it loses its 2 best players for the season. No player currently in the league is a capable back-up to Troy.

    The Steelers were 5th in yards allowed per game and 3rd in rush defense. I think top 5 qualifies as elite, and none of the 4 teams ahead of us were missing two of their three best players.

    We got considerable worse, that's for sure. We fell from #1 overall to a pathetic #5 overall......Great point. You get one clap.....

    Oh sure. 5# Overall. Remember the PACKERS game. They kicked your ass over all the field, and plus made you fools on d like asses, and the Ravens who schooled you with Ray Rice or Miami who kicked your ass even with Tyler FACKIN THIGPEN!

    Well, we did finish #5 overall. You can say what you want, that doesn't change the fact we finished #5 overall without two of our three best players. Both will be returning fully healthy this year. That should prevent us from repeating the major down year our defense had last year....I think it's awesome that our defense's major down year and riddled with injuries means we finish #5 overall.

    That's bull$hit. The Ratbird scored 20 on yo ass, Packers scared 33 on yo ass, and Miami scored 24 on yo ass. What THE F>UCK You SMOKING? Even though they ranked fifth last year, they sure didn't play like it.

    Plus Packers passed 376 on you, Ravens passed 148 and Dolphins threw 204 yards on you. And plus Ray Rice steamrolled Farrior, and Silverdick.

    We had a major down year, I agree. But when a major down year is when you are missing two of your three best players and still end up finishing 5th overall you have very good depth and a very solid starting 11.

    You thought you had a good point to prove, but it turned out like this security camera. 😆

    Kind of fun though watching those arena league players get eight sacks of Big Rapist and keeping you out of the playoffs, though.....

    To Oakland .... Draft Suh... So you have HArrison and Woodley rushing from the Outside Suh breaking thru the middle and Troy God knows where. Thats a QBs Nightmare.

    Of course Our Offense would be hurting.... Intriguing.
