    I'm thinking more of the litany of failed first round draft picks which are fact.....fuckwad!

    I forgot that, when you become boss, you inherit all of the mistakes of your predecessors. I should have realized that drafting Brady Quinn was Ray Farmer's fault. How silly of me.

    Yes, freak show for a QB and the fact that you refuse to see it speaks volumes.....fuckwad!

    I don't refuse to see anything. I searched NFL, ESPN, CBSSports, PFF, Pro Football Reference, yet couldn't find any metric entitles "freak show". When I choose to evaluate a player, I tend to use comparable metrics and not personal, unquantifiable opinions. If you'd like to talk about his mental makeup, his motivating factors, his drive, etc...I'm all for it. But I'm not sure how to talk about his "freak show"-ness.

    This front office keeps the high flying circus in full gear by keeping him.....fuckwad!

    You're right, they should have released him when he got suspended. Now he's just sitting there, not collecting money, not counting anything toward the salary cap, not accruing any time on his contract. What would have been the smart decision is to release a 23-year old Pro Bowl receiver with a proven on-field track record and replace him with a 21-year old UDFA. Because, at the end of the day, what really matters in the NFL is how many people like your team...not wins.

    Owner meddling with the draf..... owner, Schiener, and GM reviewing game day film.......coaches begging to be allowed to get the fuck out of Dodge.....the list is virtually endles....... the Browns, under this management, despite a sizable improvement in record, have managed to become the laughing stock of the NFL yet again ....come on, not even you are this stupid fuckwad!

    Farmer and Scheiner are management. Pettine is not management. Pettine is a coach. By all accounts, Farmer and Scheiner have been working together in a united front. That's called "management being on the same page". The fact that you don't understand the basic hierarchy of an NFL front office is nobody's fault but your own. And maybe your parents.

    As for Shanahan, clearly the smart business decision would have been forcing the guy to stay throughout the remainder of his contract. As we all know, disgruntled employees work much harder than their happy counterparts. I'm sure you've noticed this among your fellow burger-flippers.

    Just a simple question a simple mind like yours.....what other Browns coach would be hired into a solid franchise in as short of a time as Shanahan was?

    My bad, I forgot how solid of a franchise the Atlanta Falcons are.

    You know, the franchise that has now had back-to-back sub .500 seasons (4-12, 6-10). The franchise that just fired their winningest coach in history. The franchise that doesn't trust their own general manager to the point where he no longer has any say in roster decisions, nor any scouting decisions. The franchise that had to hire an outside agency to help find a new head coach. The franchise that is going to be handed some sort of penalty because they've been piping in fake crowd noises.

    Arthur Blank hates Thomas Dimitroff. Go ahead...Google those names, because you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Dimitroff is a lame-duck. He has barely any power, if at all. He's free to leave basically whenever he wants, because all he's in charge of is making sure they don't pay Matt Ryan over $100 million dollars. Oh...wait.

    A very solid franchise, for sure. So solid, in fact, that they recently employed Joe Banner as a "consultant". The same Joe Banner that Haslam fired last year due to him being such a dick that coaches refused to interview with him. The same Joe Banner that was responsible, in some way, for the litany of first round busts you complained about earlier.

    So now they have a failed Browns exec as a consultant, a failed Chiefs exec as assistant GM and a lame-duck GM who can't even be trusted to do his job. Definitely a super solid franchise. We really screwed the pooch letting Shanahan walk to Atlanta.

    You are obviously simple minded!

    Obviously. If only I could be as intelligent as you.

    I would settle with this team getting an identity, could be possible with a few defensive moves.

    Some people watch ESPN or some other national sports media outlet and just believe everything they hear...

    Our backup QB goes to rehab and our dead-beat WR gets suspended AGAIN, and all of a sudden we're a "circus?"

    Sure, going from 4-12 to 7-9 in one offseason, despite multiple key injuries means nothing when compared to a few text messages being sent...

    the circus was the media following our stoopid 1st round QB where ever he went, the fans that came along with him, and the pressure to start him no matter what at the end of the year.

    last year was a circus and it was all attributed to 2 players, not the franchise.

    Don't forget our offensive coordinator basically quit & we finished the season on a 5 game losing streak when we were finally "in the hunt".

  • In our division all the teams were bunched close together with no team standing out head and shoulders above the others.

    I agree. That is why I would go all out to stud out the D. We aren't that far away on D. I try to sigh a couple of top free agents, then concentrate on the D in the draft.

    Good reply, TC... brought this to mind for some reason...

    The last game of the season was a huge circus with Gordon, Manziel and Gilbert. I thought the discipline given to those three by Pettine was perfect. The thing I like about Pettine is he seems to get his players focused on the game at hand and not the distractions. That showed with their play with the Ravens. If ever a team could just phone a game in it would have been that one for the Browns but they went to Baltimore and made the Ravens earn that game. I was impressed with how Shaw came out in really difficult circumstances and performed on the field as well.

    Shut the fuck up. No one cares. You know nothing, you are a fag, and a steeler queer. Do the world a favor and eat rat poison.
