Mingo and his agent UPSET about playing time

The Browns Board

  • True, Chris.... not a strong class. Probably why we did not trade down.... 😉

    Pretty good TE class though... Eifert, Kelce, Ertz...

  • Mingo was most definitely Lombardi's pick, but what I'm saying is it won't help Farmer's cause because it's yet another first round failure. We want impact players, and unfortunately, many of them seem to come from the first round.

  • How about this for an article? "Fans upset about Mingo playing at all." Or, "Entire Browns organization wondering if Mingo will do anything to make an impact." Many of us did not like the pick, and once again we are treated to a first rounder that hasn't lived up to expectations. Unfortunately, this will be the reason Farmer will be asked to leave. He's had some nice finds later in the draft, but you make your money with the first round allstars, and we have too few of those. It especially hurts to see Julio Jones turn into the best WR in the league. Yeah, we got a ton for him, but look what we did with it. Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson, Phil Taylor, Justin Gilbert, Johnny Manziel, Barkevious Mingo...

    I completely realize we all have the benefit of hindsight, but my lord. The first round is basically the only round where the average Joe can select someone as well as a GM. How many people were screaming for Derek Carr? Khalil Mack?

    Farmer didnt draft Mingo.. Lomtardi did.

    Yup... As in no matter who botched the pick, it's another one the current GM has to make up for...

    Also may I point out that Mingo was a Lombardi pick?

  • Make him a safety he's faster than all of our db's.

  • If Mingo wants to play more, he needs to start smacking people into the turf.

    He never seems to play physical like he should be able to. He seems to tackle

    like a kicker when he could just slam a ball carrier into the turf....

    just my opinion....

  • I'm a little upset at his lack of production when he does play.

    Fuck Mingo, he's another Vernon Gholston.

  • Sammy Watkins isn't asking for a trade, but he stated to a buffalo paper that he wants 10 targets a game.

    Quote from last season...hes been injured this season

  • Watkins did the same thing.he told his agent first Are you kidding me? Both these guys are constantly injured in the first place. Telling your agent and announcing to the world you're unhappy instead of going straight to the coaches is ridiculous.

  • I'm a little upset at his lack of production when he does play.

    Fuck Mingo, he's another Vernon Gholston.

    But at least, he's not another OSU flop.

  • Mingo and Watkins are two guys who need to put up or shut up......

    Both are severely under performing and complete train wrecks, when it comes to staying on the field.

    I guess deflecting and pointing to coaching helps alleviate their sense of failure.

  • An agents job is to try to get his guy paid. Unfortunately it's up to the organization to evaluate, or in the Browns case fail to properly evaluate, talent.

  • Or how about the great production we getting from McFadden these days at the CB position. Good thing the Browns stayed away from the Honey Badger taken with the very next pick. Typical Browns Draft that was.

  • McFadden??.....now?......hahahaha.....

    Time to move on.....
