Stop the Piling On!

OK - so it's been a rough couple of months with 5 straight L's, Shannie's exit, text-gate, dysfunction theories, suspensions, and rehab. We all get it - another frustrating turn of events for our beloved team. I just want to say that I've had enough! Not of the team, but of the following:
1) Cry babies like Shannie who not only can't keep an obligation but also hurts the team he worked for by revealing damaging information and setting this whole text-gate and dysfunction-gate in motion. I say "screw you, Crybaby, and may Karma bite you in the ass because you are as unprofessional and self-absorbed as they come." I really hope I never meet him in person because it'll be hard not to take a swing at that loser.
2) The media - acting like a bunch of vultures and just piling on. The new owner, GM and coach did really well in their first year together. We probably missed on our first round choices and made other mistakes and that'll set the team back, but instead of focusing on the positives, it's all negative and focusing anywhere but on a bright future. I agree that we can't keep making mistakes but what good comes from underscoring them in article after article. Like the press writers have ever won a Super Bowl. Most are regurgitating old information or speculating with unnamed sources just to put out tabloid-like headlines.
Bottom line, I believe in this Browns group and although we may have to take a step back to go two steps forward, we fans must register our dissatisfaction to all detractors. We have to believe and support this regime and their well intended decisions. No individual or team ever succeeds without people supporting them through good times and bad.
Thank you for reading and may we see better months ahead. Please feel free to join my rant, even if you see things from a different perspective.

We are used to crap. So all this stuff does not phase me. I will still watch every Sunday and drink my beer.

I believe these guys are doing their level best to put a winning team on the field so I support them. Even if some mistakes were made in the first year I believe these guys are smart enough to learn from the mistakes.

I'll add this...
I would celebrate like all hell if the Browns FO would BAN Mary Kay Cabot from any Browns' facilities & training camp. Get that hypocritical, malicious gossip the hell away from our Browns!

^ I agree
I'm sure she has, but I can't remember her ever writing anything with any positivity. The last thing this team needs is a reporter who consistently resorts to pot stirring. You're a local writer why not try to find the good things to write about instead of digging up shit to smear on your hometown team . . . We get enough shit thrown on us from the national media. I would have banned her dumbass a long time ago.

The Browns will sign 2-3 big name free agents with Cameron, Gordon, Skrine, Rubin, etc all possibly being gone.
They will draft 2-4 day one starters.
I see this team only getting better.
I hope Manziel can bounce back this offseason. Big if.

I remember her writing something with positivity. Remember when she was being positive when she said Jason Campbell was an elite quarterback?
-
I don't mind constructive criticism one bit. That makes you better. I hate the tearing down stuff. There is nothing positive about that. I didn't see Bernie's criticism as tearing down at all but he made specific points we need to look at if we want to improve. It was not just tearing down the club.

This Browns team has all the makings of being a great team if they can just find a damn QB. Not saying they'd go to back-to-back SB by any means, but I really think our situation is similar to Seattle the year they drafted Wilson. Could that be Manziel? It doesn't look great but who knows. If Farmer and crew could finally add that huge missing piece we could be right there next year and beyond. Since I've been watching the Browns closely (about the 2003 season) this is the first year I've actually felt we are the cusp of being a good team.

I suppose this is why Farmer appears to be seriously considering trading up for Mariotta. Unfortunately I don't know if that's a good move.

Dude manziel sucks. Get over it. Losing Skrine would be a big loss, it would set the secondary back 1-2 years.

My .02 would be to resign Hoyer, name him the starting QB and Manziel have to beat him out in preseason. Fill in other holes we need on defensive line, Wr. , another O lineman.

I've said before that the thing I've always really liked about Mariota is his natural ability to keep his eyes down field under pressure a lot like say Aaron Rodgers. Don't anyone take that as a comparison, but that's a talent that's really, really good but is hard to near impossible to teach. It does scare me coming from that system for sure though-but I'm starting to wonder if that's not going to be a question mark for every top QB prospect before long. He's not a day one guy by any means but the tools are there.

I would like to see the Browns pull off a trade for Nick Foles. Word is the Eagles REALLY want Mariotta, so this is what I do. I trade for Nick Foles and the Eagles 1st round pick of the 2016 draft (next year) and their second-round pick of the 2015 draft and some other later round pick. In exchange, I give them our pick at # 12. Based on the draft value charts:
Eagles give up: Next years # 1 (let's assume they pick ~23 next year) + Foles (assuming high 4th round value) + pick 52 + late round pick = ~1700 points
pick 12 = 1600 points.
Browns get a QB who had a great season in 2013 and shows promise but regressed in 2014 before his injury. They retain their 18th pick which hopefully they can shore up the D-line or right side of O-line. The eagles, on the other hand, now have enough assets to make a play for Mariotta. The Browns go into 2016 with 2 first rounders again, at which point if they STILL need a QB, there will hopefully be a better QB draft class.

Is piling on still a penalty call? Or is it all just "unnecessary roughness" now?
Anyway... it's what the media does. Feeding frenzies induced by blood in the water. AS sharks churn the water, so too do writers churn the story. Google "Cleveland Browns news" this morning and you'll find these two consecutive articles:
- Haslem's prints on Browns' woes - Toledo Blade-9 hours ago; and
- Jimmy Haslam Not the Problem, Front Office Is According to One - Dawg Pound Daily-17 hours ago
Big if.
First, you need an "if" for it to be big.
