  • I wonder if a lot of the low-key movement (or lack thereof) at receiver is a product of a belief Gordon will be back. That, and the idea that having elite receivers isn't that important. Of course to us, it looks like he's a lost cause, but they COULD know something we don't and view him as effectively a great 2016 draft pick. Who knows.

    I think Farmer is anti-measurables which is his perogative

  • No comparison between hundred year old Aggie traditions and a phrase they just made up this year.

    My point was the difference is time. That was the comparison.

    I doubt Gordon is much of a consideration. If he comes back and adds value, great. If not, we move on... same as other disappointments.

    Right.....Gordon = Zero.....to this roster

    He's gone in my mind..."poof"....not even a thought....he wont make one difference to anything thats gonna happen....

    Next year?...who knows...but wont even give it a thought until then...he'll just be a bonus "if" he ever see's the field again(for us)

    True, but perhaps now is not the time.

    Any outsider upon hearing "play like a brown" would find that rather comical.

    The "play like a brown" mantra should be earned. Should the 2015 Browns put together a superb season and demonstrate to the rest of the NFL that they have established themselves a force to be reckoned with, then yeah Pet, go with it to motivate players toward maintaining a winning culture.

  • I didn't wanna say it if no one else would, but, my thoughts exactly.

    you both are comical.

    Couldn't disagree more.....NOW is the perfect time.....New players, new staff and raised expectations....

    and the mantra, as you call it, is simply a way of establishing standards and clearly defining them for all to see.....most great organizations do that......then you win points for practicing what you preach.....simple....

    So, while I wouldn't compare it to an old college tradition(it's really more like a new corporate slogan), it's certainly a good way to define who they want to be & articulate that to the players and the masses.....and hold it out there for everyone to see.....Im down with it 100%.....
