    Ouch, the comments on the Manziel article are brutal... lots of talk about him pulling a eli/elway on us also. I would assume everyone on draft day will have their fingers crossed praying the Browns don't pick them. It really is a factory of sadness.

    If those reports are true, Banner and Lombardi should be fired immediately. You never, ever tip your hand this early in draft season. I mean, hell's bells, they haven't even worked the kid out or interviewed him.

          Exactly- if Gase & Quinn are their top two targets, it's certainly going to come up in the interview what they think of Johnny Football. So they can certainly say his qb style doesn't fit my system, so no thanks. They'll both have far more attractive offers in 2015.

            why does it always seem like the fans, and particularly these posters on this board are more intelligent than the people running the Browns?

              Because if the Browns FO office has the standard of intelligence they should have, stuff like this would never have come out. Unsubstantiated rumor? Manziel's agent?

                It's probably propaganda from someone else, like the Texans or Rams, trying to drive up the price of their pick. Surely not even these guys can be that Retarded. Or maybe they're trying to drive Manziel's stock up, so that he gets taken higher - maybe the Raiders trade up to 2 to get him, and we're hoping for Bridgewater or Bortles to fall.

                  I hope that this is bullshit, not because I'm vehemently opposed to drafting Manziel, but because if the report is true than this FO just wrote the book on incompetence.

                  If the report is accurate and BanBardi let everyone know their draft strategy months before the draft I'm gonna try my hardest to set up a game of high-stakes poker with these mongoloids.

                    unless its some grand scheme by Lametardi to take a kickker with the first pick...nothing this idiot does surprises Me anymore.

                      We see this stuff every year, yet this year people think it is reliable information.

                      Any chance maybe the Texas are leaking this to try to get someone to jump in to their pick? Or possibly some lame ass Browns fan who just hates the FO?

                      Carry on.

                      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                Let's not quick to judge.

                                They did pull off a nice heist with Trent Richardson.

                                They also drafted Gordon and Cameron whom are look elite players in their respective positions.

                                Let's just wait and see.

                                        Lombardi was critical of the browns pick of Gordon.

                                        The browns have 6 players representing the pro bowl.

                                        4 of them were when Heckert was here (since 2010: Haden/Ward/Gordon/Cameron)

                                        Plus other solid players : Phil Taylor, Skrine, Tashaun Gipson, Benjamin.

                                        I don't think he did too shabby in his time here, other than the notorious 2012 first round. But rumor has it that was the walrus overruling Heckert.

                                        Too early to judge Lombanner. Trich move was good. Draft was pretty blech. Hoyer was good. Kruger bad, Bess bad, coaching hires bad, blech.
