  • I don't think Lombardi is going to have final say on draft picks, but who knows.

    First move Browns make now will be getting Brian Hoyer or trading for Ryan Mallet. 😆

  • Let's face it, ti doesn't really matter who Haslam and Banner hire to

    be a janitor, personal file maintainer......

    The last thing the Browns needed to do, was bring in some old baggage.

    blech. And Lombardi was bad with working with the cap.

    He'll be more of a secretary to Banner.

    I worry about a bean counter being in charge of a football team with banner.

    But I guess I don't know enough about Lombardi to understand why everyone hates him so badly.

    Is it just the Bernie Kosar animosity from years gone by or something more?

    No, in fact I understand that BK may be one of the guys in his corner...in fact, rumor has it that Lombardi could bring BK into the fold in some capacity, BKs health allowing.

    Not a lot of quality players there. Hell, it looks like his best pick was a kicker...Janikowski.

    or maybe Asoghmwa

  • Between Banner and Lombardi (and their meddling ways), I'm really not hopeful about the near future of this team.

    Jarmarcus Russell is also on that resume.

    Jesus Christ, you think Al Davis would have let him pick anyone else?

  • He drafted a kicker in the first round...

  • I don't like it at all. I don't like Banner either.

    Prove me wrong & just win.

    This is the hire that ensure we will continue to be 4-12 until he's fired...Im very upset by this. Hiring this incompetant tool just ensures final demise of the Cleveland Browns.

    The demise already occurred (Isn't "final demise" redundant?) I'm hoping for no further delays in resurrection.

    Redundant,that may be. But the bottom line is..."This asshole sucks" and the futility will remain. And I

    ll just bet if this team does not break 500. in year 2 of the process...Banner and Lomtardi will be looking for jobs.

    He wasn't the one who picked him. He started after that. Search it out.

  • Let's hope it says on the draft room door "Mike Lombardi is not allowed."

  • Its a done deal so there is no use in crying about it..

    I am going to give the brass the benefit of the doubt for the time being as there is nothing we can do as fans but hope jimmy and joe are right about both chud and lombardi..

    We have an owner that wants to win so i will back that horse at least until it becomes obvious that it is lame..

    Cleveland Browns Forever!

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • We still have all the college scouts Heckert brought in with him, which is a plus...

    We have Banner who can overrule Lombardi...

    We have Chud who has input...

    I'm sure Norv will be giving some input...

    It's really not the end of the world. Lombardi has drafted some talent in the past. Plus, it's not like he's the head guy anyway.

    If we get Horton as DC, I will be thrilled with the offseason thus far.

  • Its Friday, time to drink some beer and enjoy the weekend. Cheers to all of you disgruntled and non disgruntled fellow fans.

    👍

  • I'm fine with the hire, no bridge jumping, wrist slitting for me.

    👍

  • He's just going to be a guy who knows a lot about the scouting dept. He's been keeping up on all the comings and goings going on in the NFL now for a while. He reports on the stuff all the time. He's got eyes and ears out there... probing. I think he'll be our middle man and also a scape goat in case stuff starts fucking up...

The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain-

  • To be fair a lot of the picks he made weren't on him, but at the same time I've been reading around that on NFL network he's apparently said stuff like "Terrible that the Browns picked Joe Thomas over Brady Quinn." or "Waste of a pick to get Josh Gordon." Etc. that makes me very wary of him.

    I'm hoping it's a team effort thing and that he's more so a scout than anything. I love the OC and DC hires although I'm a little disappointed that we may be changing to a 3-4, hopefully it'll be more of a hybrid thing because we have too many dlinemen to run mostly a 3-4.

    Did Haslam and Banner bother to check out his guy's track record before they hired him? Really? Lombradi will get NO benefit of the doubt from me.

    I sure as hell hope someone other than this doofus has final say, or it's Matt Millen revisited.
