Tony Grossi Is An Idiot - Says Sheard Or Rubin

The Browns Board
30 12 2.2k
  • I did make a mistake when I was looking at his contract (do not know how I did as they all state 2011 as the starting year of the contract, with 2012 when the high salary kicks in)... With this being said; I would rather hold on to him for one more year to make sure he transitions to their vision (he should with his experience in the 3-4). At that point they could reassess the rest of the pieces and attempt a trade. Either way the Browns will not extend both Taylor and Rubin with the money they have committed to Bryant, pretty much leaving Rubin as the odd man out. If they have already made this financial decision; they may already plan on trading him in this draft to get one of "their guys" in tow for 2013.

  • yep. god knows they reassess and evaluate players every year. usually it's bums like a first round QB who blew his rookie season. or a coach who couldn't pick his nose besides an offensive play.

    i get the changing of position for some of these players.....what i don't get is the changing of the whole defensive system.

  • I don't know the numbers at all, but the two mentioned here are flat out solid players. I would be shocked.

    I can imagine that Lombardi would do a Cleveland Indians thing and trade away a really fine player to draft

    another player who won't what....? make as much money?

    Seems to me that I was annoyed at the Indians for doing that a lot of years....

    The problem for Me is Lombardi is a horrible judge of talent, as is Farmer. I feel that untill these two are removed...this team is cursed...the only hope for this team right now is the presence of Chud and Norv...and hopefully some luck. I think the first couple of picks in this draft can be solid...but can Lomtardo do what Heckert did in obtaining late rnd steals that seem to contribute immediately to this club...outside of Eric Turner and Sebastian Janikowski...This mother fucking Retard hasnt done jack but stab people and paralyze teams with his bungling ways..and rumour has it he wants to trade 2 of some of our best defensive players..if he does that...I want him fired immediately...no trial...just...BOOM!

    Just like the people in climb in their cars and immediately call home to talk to the wife/husband/boy friend/etc. they just left. Fucking idiots. Hopefully they will find out too much cell phone usage causes brain tumors and these idiots will be the first ones.

    Well, I think it again comes down to the mindset that they are not "our guys".

    Some of these GMs, and maybe Lombardi is one of them, who would think that Joe Montana, Dick Butkus, Jim Brown, and Jerry Rice would be no good unless they drafted him. It can be all about the ego of the guy running the show or making the decisions.

    yeah i get it but when you think about it you are talking about someone who has proven they can play in the nfl. why trade him for someone that might look great on paper but has not played a down with the big boys. i could see if the guy was a 3rd stringer but to be a major part of the defense (rubin and sheard)???

    it just makes no sense.

    Ego driven decisions rarely do make sense.

    Yea, and correct me if I am wrong but don't the Browns still have tons of cap room? So, to me, the money should not be the issue. The issue is...will whatever move they make make the team better.

    Right now I suspect there is low confidence amongst the fans and the media that Lombardi will do what he can to make the team better (rather they believe that he will do what he can to make Mike Lombardi look better). But Lombardi doesn't have to worry about the fans and media (hell, it seems he will never have to face them). He only has to have the confidence of Jimmy Haslam and Joe Banner, and apparently he has that.

  • Well, I have so much faith in Chud and the rest....

    I'm not really going to worry about Lombardi screwing up one draft pick.

    But if he does, somebody needs to start a petition to have him kicked off the island.....

    I don't use twitter, but I think it's one of the greatest entertainment inventions ever. When we used to have to wait months between press conference rants, there's some sort of twitter controversy every week. You get a bunch of meathead athletes and remove the filter between them and the media? It's hilarious.

  • Well Sheard is a huge question mark. He had a pretty big sophomore slump, and now we're taking him out of his natural position. Horton must not think he'll be able to convert to the 3-4.

    We're not going to be strictly playing a 3-4. And Rubin is serious depth at NT, unless you think Taylor is going to be taking every snap @ NT. (Hint: he won't.)

  • I have already called this two months ago Ruben will be traded

    betcha a beer he isn't.

  • Rubin has reportedly lost weight, down to 308 I think it was...

    to really become a fit in the defensive front seven.

    I can't wait to see that. He'd terrorize opposing offenses.

    You betcha.
