    According to the guys at the OBR, Farwell has left Berea & did not receive a contract offer.

    Hmmmm....maybe just spin and he didn't want to sign....I find it odd one wouldn't be offered, which is how I take your comment.

    I don't know....maybe he said some things that just made us say "I hope you enjoyed lunch, good luck."

    It seems odd that a few parameters weren't established before bringing him in.....both team and players don't want to waste time. This isn't like HS recruiting where players know darn good and well they aren't signing there but figure they want to take the weekend trip.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Do we think these meals ever take place and Corky and Lenny's? I think that's where I'd want to go to be 'wooed.'

    My guess: he made it clear that he's looking for a chance to compete for a starting job, and the Browns weren't willing to promise him that.

    corky & lenny's, man, that's a place i haven't thought of in years. one of the few things i miss about ohio. great deli. corned beef or pastrami sandwiches with the meat piled so high that it falls off the bread, just the way a sandwich should be.

    I don't know man.....why would a coach say that???

    You won't let somebody compete for a starting job???

    I don't buy that.

    Now....if the guy was seeking some assurance he would be starting, that is another matter.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Well, if we're talking to D'Qwell about a contract extension, we may not be going around telling guys, "You know what? We think you could compete to be our starting Mike."

    Another possibility is that the visit was more about checking out his knee; he missed all of last season after tearing an ACL.

  • I buy the knee part.....but if we are telling people they can't compete for a starting job, we need to be out of the football business.

    It may be we told him that is where we saw him, and he was smart enough to know he would be looking at back-up......but we didn't tell him he couldn't compete for a starting job.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • I'm not sure I agree with you, 'peen. You don't tell a guy who has no shot at starting that he has a shot at starting. That's how controversy and disenchantment start. A guy should know his role and what a realistic expectation of it, and its ceiling, is from Day One IMO.

  • People can agree with you all they want, but I disagree.

    You don't lie, but you don't tell a person they have no shot.

    That takes away all incentive to excel.

    I know I am right, so I am done.....and I don't usually say that

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Vikings resigned him today.
