Who is under more pressure? Pet or Farmer?

The Browns Board

  • Fuck u mik u are a piece of shit and a complete moron. Ur the type of Retard that just thinks a rb is badass cause he rips off a 60 yrd td run. With no knowledge or insight in the amazing blocking by the line or wrs down field or the qb that checked into the play. That's how fucking simplistic ur Retarded views are. Yeah 7-9 great. But when u totally try to get cute with the roster, make coaches (top coaches) wanna quit, and players that got their big break with the team that drafted them wanna run for the hills and take lateral money and positions. The Brown's have way to many of the problems I'd expect from a 3-13 team. Not a team that was 7-9. No way. I'm sure your a much bigger fan than anyone with an OPINION because your still pull in for butch Davis after having an anxiety attack at halftime and a good cry. I can pile on the team I root for dumbass decisions just the way I credit them for the good ones. Fans don't have to like and salute in unison on every order that comes down the Brown's ladder of success.

    you obviously have never read ONE of my posts then because that is not what i believe at all.

    I"M the guy that says draft lineman, DBs and LBs every year. not WRs, RBs or QBs.

    you must have me mixed up with some raiders fan you fucktard.

  • Winning is going to be the only cure for all the craziness going on in Cleveland. I hate to see this myself. We can't even get a foundation laid before we are turning on someone else. This is what losing clubs do. The cycle needs to be broken.

  • pointing out problems is fine.

    calling people out in their first year who actually did their job and increased productivity and increased a team's winning % is lame.

    i try not to flame people anymore but some people just ask for it.

  • Farmer, easily. The texting debacle and his first round have put him under intense scrutiny. Right now, the only person more powerful than Pettine is Haslam.

    Sure- everyone of the naysayers wants to pile on- based 90% on the first round shoulda, woulda, coulda. They forget he brought in Dansby and Whitner- Got Hawkins in FA, picked up Gabriel, Williams, and Crowell as UFAs

    All they want to do is cry we passed on Mack, Watkins, Evans, Beckham, Carr, & Bridgewater. 20\20 hindsight. If you look back at my posts- I was #1 on the Watkins wagon. We didn't take him. I was the #1 Manziel hatah. I'm over it- and the rest of you should be too- or go root for another team.

    Wow, the short attention spans forget that awesome first round where we drafted Richardson and We-done. That was extra special. At least the book isn't written on Gilbert and Manziel yet. I agree with the other thread- to label a first round pick a total bust after six quarters of football is plain ludicrous.

    Maybe this would make guys happier- Quote Pettine- I went to see Johnny, and he's in a much better place now." "I shot him."

  • i mean who can't wait to see what farmer pulls off this year considering the points you just made hoorta.

    a large popcorn, some ice cold buds and watching the draft live on tv and hopefully talking shite with people here in this forum's tavern is going to be a friggin awesome show IMO.

    drum roll pleez!

    Exactly why I am excited to watch the combine today and what happens in free agency early March. Do beer go with popcorn?

    On second thought, fuck the popcorn.

    beer for the burps. popcorn for the farts.

  • How is this even debatable? Pettine should basically be untouchable for the way the team was playing and the D stepped up, against Cinci and the colts in particular. Farmer is personally liable for any punishment coming our way (draft picks) as well as missing on his two first rounders last year.

    That's not to say I'd get rid of Farmer, I think he's done a great job of bringing talent in so far and working under the difficult circumstances of last offseason. He should be around for years to come, with Pettine as well.

    Suspend-- him for the Draft, Yes the Draft. Pettine Knows his need's way more than Farmer.

    you are out of your mind.

    Losing the pick??, hurts 53 players and Pettine, that should piss off any Browns fan. Farmers best DRAFT pick in 2 Year's Bittino.That's it that's the list. I have NO problem with Farmer on his work on finding mystery No Name FREE AGENTS and named FA's. The SCOUTS that Farmer has in place for DRAFTING totally suck period. Farmer may want to offer Tour and other's on this Board, a scout job before Pettine and Farmer both lose a job. No Thanks, My Mind is Fine. 😛 PS Farmer scares the shit out of me on trying to resign any of our talent. Example-- T J Ward walks and we sit on 30mill. above the cap ???

    The scouts we relied on last year were leftovers from the previous regime. They were pretty much all canned the day after the draft last year and replaced by Farmer's guys.

    Also - "Farmers best DRAFT pick in 2 Year's Bittino.That's it that's the list. "

    1) It's really difficult to read what you type, grammar is your friend

    2) Two years?

    3) Bitonio is undoubtedly his best pick, agreed

    4) His only good pick? For third rounders, West and Kirksey have done pretty well and become key members of their respective rotations. Desir was always a project and actually looked pretty solid in his only outings, holding the previously explosive kelvin benjamin to about 45 yards and no TDs.

    Players brought in by Farmer last year via FA, draft or UDFA that have become starters or part-time starters:

    1) Bitonio

    2) West

    3) Kirksey

    4) Crowell

    5) Gabriel

    6) Austin

    7) Hawkins

    😎 Whitner

    9) Dansby

    10) Williams

    11) Dray

    Most people here are happy with the play of most people on that list, under the assumption that the rookies take a step forward this year. That's not including other guys who have come in and contributed in some way like Shaw and Desir. So 11 either starters or rotational/split-time starters - I'll take that again this year in a heartbeat. Who cares where they were drafted, if at all?

    OK new Scout's. It's show me what you got time in this Draft

  • That's all you took away? OK then I guess we're done here.

  • Haslam seems like a smart man. He may just bring a winning team to Cleveland in spite of of all the whining, complaining and self destruction that goes on up there in Cleveland.

    Totally agree... point of the thread was that all the postseason noise/ discussion was around how long Pet's leash would be. Now... the worm has turned.

    Seeing as I liked our 2014 draft in aggregate, I'm not sure turning over the scouting department is a comforting occurrence.

    I think that is the key. The bigger picture of the entire draft. Hindsight is always 20/20 but at the time of last year's draft the expert people in the NFL were all grading Farmer very high.

  • I think that they should fire the Homeless Guy. At least find a vagabond that knows football! We need a wide receiver, pass rusher, Oline help, tight end, and replacements for the players who will leave in free agency.

    So how did Oakland wind up with Khalil Mack and Derek Carr? We had two first round picks that Farmer bungled. Trading away # 4 then trading back in for Gilbert? This is illogical and arrogant. They made noise all right during the draft. If Farmer would have gotten off his stubborn ass and picked Mack and Beckham he still could have drafted a quarterback in the second round. Then we find out he's texting the coaches? Peeeee uuuuuuuu

    Dude, read what's there. Supposedly Farmer used the scouts from old reshime last season, than they were released after last seasons Draft. (and they damn sure should have been gone, after that) Bottom line, If Farmer Can Draft as well as he finds FA's the rest of this division is looking up at us. We cannot let our FA Talent walk like TJ and still have millionS (30) above the Cap... Mack after next season can opt out. We should be trying to resign him like a FA this season after what we saw after he went down..
