  • Peyton is a publicity whore, for all his success I have never heard him share credit with the o line, wideouts, backs, coaches or any one else.

    Bernie would be my choice as GM.

  • IT's not entirely clear what he wants to be, GM? I'm assuming but he doesn't say. In any case, yes yes and more yes. Why we haven't let this guy into the org yet is beyond me. He bleeds this team. He loves this city, franchise etc, etc....he could have gone anywhere after he retired. Reward this guy and you'll see a person who isn't interested in padding his resume to go somewhere else. Frankly i'd give him more than 2 years, I don't want to see him back himself into a corner. But he says "competitive"...so there's some lee way in that statement.

    Can't do worse than we've already done. At least he legit loves the browns.

    I dont know either....but this is kind of how I feel.....

    He will at least give his heart and soul to the team.....and make all his decisions for the "right" reasons....

    Totally agree, Bernie has always been a "Cleveland Brown" and I believe he would hold the organization's best interest to heart.

    Same can be said of 90% of the members here. Doesn't mean we are qualified to be GM.

  • I don't think he could do it at all, but at the same time he literally couldn't be worse than some of the duds we've hired. 3-4 years ago I would have shunned the move but at this point it literally can't be worse.

  • How about GM by committee - vote on every single draft pick and roster decision...

    Neither is Ray Farmer

  • I would love having Bernie be involved, maybe not as GM but as some sort of consultant. I'm not sure how great he is at scouting talent but he is great at reading offenses and defenses and can really help our young coordinators out, especially O'Neil. This is a guy who actually does care for the Cleveland Browns and would help change the losing culture in the organization.

  • He should be with the organization in some capacity, period.

    The guy seems to have gotten over all of his personal issues, at least it appears that way he's been out of the spot light.

    Whatever you say about him: he really, really knows football and knows it well.

    We have a talented football mind who loves the Browns and wants to be a part of the organization and has been in the past, bring him in to do something. Not president or GM or anything like that, but he should be in the room when people talk football.

  • If Bernie can't get it done, then we just bring in Vinny

  • Let's just go get bill belichick and skip the middle men.

  • in a heartbeat.

    Or Todd Philcox lol.

    I always thought he'd be a great QB coach or offensive coordinator, not sure on the GM part.

  • While we're on the subject, Joe Thomas for GM when he retires, IMO.

    We'll assume you are a no......

  • I think Weedon would do well. He has been with the Browns and been through it's QB wringer and fully understands what bad football really looks like. 😉

  • What's TD tommy vardell doing these days?

    Ha! Yeah, I'm not on board with it. He has no qualifications besides 'loves the browns' which he has in common with many.

    Dead serious about Joe Thomas though, you read his interviews and you can see there's a deep thinker in there.
