What Do You Think Of The Browns Strategy?
-
A strong draft in 2012 coupled with the 90% rule of cap being used in 2013 will spark the signing of 2 or 3 key FA that will get us over the hump and have us competing for a championship in 2013 and beyond for probably close to 10 years barring injury. But of course we seem to be cursed when it come to injury.

First off let me say i was happily surprised that H&H actually said what they meant and meant what they said about their FA stance...
For those that do not like and or do not understand the conservative FA approach of H&H it will become much clearer over the next 2 years, As hoorta points out we will need to keep some key players intact and save room for guys that haven't emerged yet but most certainly will...
The time will come when we may need to reach out for a couple bigger name FAs to close the deal on the AFCN and when we do they will actually see the opportunity to fit in our system and want to come play in cleveland..
H&H are setting us up for the best opportunity to seriously compete in our division that this club has had since its return and beyond, yeah its not flashy and this year it most likely isnt going to be pretty but it is a solid time proven method as long as your GM knows what he is doing and your coaches can coach, for once in many years i am not second guessing the regimes calls thus far minus the wasted year of the mangini debacle which i myself was for..
Waiting for the browns to rise to prominence once again is what i live for and i believe we have the regime in place to make it happen, we just need to be patient a while longer...
We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS! -

One week into the 2011 spending spree under the new $120.4 million salary cap, 11 teams still have more than $20 million available for the coming season. A source with knowledge of the numbers has shared them with PFT.
Leading the way are the Bengals, with more than $41 million in cap room. The Jaguars have more than $34 million.
And the bronze goes, surprisingly, to the Browns, with more than $30.4 million.

Ghoolie, how many teams have you run in your life?
Exactly, shut the xxxx up.

I think it's the right strategy. Of course, I'd rather win right now, but we had too many holes to fill this off season (like many others recently). Build through the draft for sure.
One guy I'd like the Browns to take a chance on is Okoye, the guy the Texans released. I bet he would sign cheap, and has a lot to prove.

And he's young. The youngest player to ever be drafted.

Gips,
I agree with this 100%!! It reads as if I wrote it (only better!). I share the same confidence you describe.
GO BROWNS!!

Since we came back we've drafted terribly and spent tons of money on free agents...
We drafted the wrong players and we signed the wrong free agents...
This is the 1st FO that has drafted well and I'm sure that when the time is right they will spend the money to get those players who'll put us over the top....
It's hard as hell to say be patient but truthfully this year is a year of evaluation... We don't know what we have yet and throwing around money wont make us better..
If this years draft class turns out great, we should be set to put a competative team on the field year after year.. I like this approach..
Also, some of the excess cap money that we have will be used to sign some of our key core players (Thomas, Hillis, etc) to long term deals..
Peace
