  • Tempering expectations for the fans and media mostly. Otherwise after the first incompletion we'll be hearing the Johnny chant. Granted I'm sure that'll happen regardless but at least Haslem is making the effort.

  • Show the link. I find it hard to believe the owner of the Browns would say that about any player. Sound like bullshit.

    & Johnny is such an arrogant prick?

    Is there a link to this comment? Kinda hard to believe he would say something like that publically. I don't see a realistic upside to that. Let coaches make that comment. It's not his job to temper expectations for the media and the fans. His job is "to help the team and god willing, things will work out."

    Well considering it's his franchise, he can do whatever the hell he wants. He defines what his job is.

  • "Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam says the Browns have told Johnny Manziel to start acting 'like a backup quarterback.'"

    Translation...

    Jimmy Haslam is subliminally telling "the fans" to start acting like JF is the backup quarterback to temper expectations just in case he doesn't win the starting job this season...

    OR

    Jimmy Haslam is trying to push Manziel's buttons so he comes into camp hungry and easily takes over the starting job after obviously winning the competetion through the course of the off-season and pre-season...

    OR

    Both

  • He says he will have to beat out Hoyer. No shit.

  • The WKNR rumor mill reports that Farmer had his draft card filled out with Teddy Bridgewaters name and Jimmy Haslam overruled him.

    on nothing other than gut feel I beleive this is likely true. When Farmer was asked in a presser why Johnny vs. Teddy he really seemed taken aback and stuttery. I think this is the reason why even though later when specifically asked this he denied it. Of course he did he cant confirm it.

  • That was a waste of my time.

  • Who gives a flying fuck. Manziel is the choice. Quit acting like a bunch of bitches.

  • So there's 5 minutes of our lives we won't be getting back...

    WSS

  • Haslem had nothing to do with it, no influence whats so ever

    Ticket sale spike and merchandise demand is insane...plus, despite losing our best player- the browns are the talk of the league.

    Farmer is the greatest GM ever !

    What player could the browns draft that might create some buzz, start a new conversation, or distract the sports world for awhile...atleast until all the investigations clear our ownership ?

    Bermeck ("he just asked questions".... Yeah, B S ... mr farmer- look for my email invite to my FF league...you wizard you)

  • I am so ridiculously torn on the situation.

    I have chastised Bridgewater all year and yet, for some reason I think he may actually be the best QB of the bunch now.

    Damn it, we suck again.

  • Who gives a flying fuck. Manziel is the choice. Quit acting like a bunch of bitches.

    I'm not bitching. If true Jimmy made the right call.

  • Ah, no worries. Truth is always ridiculed in its intial stage 🙂

    Here's another quick factoid: It was the original intention of the producers of Draft Day to feature... the Buffalo Bills... (cue Twilight Zone music)

  • Stupid video or not

    It was a "splash" pick to end all "splash picks"

    A first year GM, new HC, new staff.... New org chart for the franchise??? It might be gay to call it a conspiracy , but what the hell do you call it??? We trade out of 4 - pass on the best WR ...knowing all along Gordon will be gone.?? unexplainable. It's a nice distraction for farmer as well.... We blew it....farmer was betting on another top receiver being there after his trade...so they went DB. From that point on it was "shock the world Thursday night, then tank the draft" ... Everyone is happy. 4-12

    Try to win next year....what's another season ?. Really ?

    Tired of losing? It sounds like your hoping for it.

    Whether you think you can, or you think can't, you're right.

  • The negativity is just about to the point of being downright stupid! Are the Browns going to win the Super Bowl this season? Uh...no! So, rather than tank the draft by trying to replace Gordon with a rookie for 1 season, they stuck to their plan and filled pretty much every other hole they had. This team is loaded with talent. And they still don't know the severity of Gordon's looming suspension. None of us know even half the details. This could be a situation that gets overturned on appeal or reduced suspension. If the Gordon situation was not in play, then you all would be praising Farmer for this draft! Have a little faith and support your team and management group!

  • Who gives a flying fuck. Manziel is the choice. Quit acting like a bunch of bitches.

    very ironic with that particular post.....lmao.

    Did it hurt your feewings cause he isn't getting the dstartinf nods a few days after the draft?

  • I understand the optimism, trust me, I do

    But when week 1 gets here...and we can't score 10 points- against a shitty steeler defense...we will all be pissed.

    I figured we would start 1-3... Realistic...now, without a big-time threat outside- and the introduction of JF (who you know everyone wants to face plant)... 0-4 looking you right in the face...and the prospect of YET another 4 win season

    Maybe I'm getting older....freakin had it.

    Bermeck (the teams that dedicate to the run can't, won't... Win anymore...not consistently ...our D is good, but not dominating)
