Bernie wants the job.....

At this point what can it hurt? Seriously.

Another statement of, "let's take a chance (on somebody)

Question: At least to the fans, is this organization THAT desperate?

Answer: Clearly "Yes"

Maybe Bernie should be 'shut off' by the organization in the same way they did it to Jim Brown (at least, temporarily).

To me, he seems to be a 'charity' case in the same way Derek Sanderson was with the Bruins.

I like Bernie. He played hard and gave fans many thrills.

Let him be...........................

Oh I wouldn't be surprised that many GM's had played some ball but I'm just saying a great player, which includes Ozzy and Elway, but...

( maybe your other three guys were great, I don't remember and too lazy to look them up)

Plus I wonder if any of them, great average or suck had been out of professional football as long as Bernie.

Elway & Ozzy are really the only 2 standouts as both players and GM's.

Keim was a lousy player but a pretty good GM (Arizona FO).

Marvin Lewis was an ok DB for the Jets, and probably a better personnel guy than HC.

Then we have Ray Farmer, who was a lousy linebacker and lousy GM.

Pretty sure the jury is still out on Elway as he has been GM less than two years...

But even at that he was in a different Bronco role for 3 years and owned/ran the city's arena franchise for a few years before that... not to mention a number of local businesses.

Elway has been in the Denver FO for like 4-5 years, but I'm not sure in what capacity.

So I would have to agree with your assessment that the jury is still out on his GM duties.

Ozzie Mewsome has been terrific. Why not hire some former Browns?

Say what? I've got the Cavs my friend. And the National champion buckeyes. You've got a state full of rape on both the college and professional level. But as far as steeler trolls go I usually hate you least.

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.

Agree 100%. Our inexperienced HC & Coordinators would benefit greatly from Bernie's input, IF they would accept & learn from it.

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.

Is this a joke? Peyton Manning is probably the most humble football player of all time..

Our pal Ray Farmer played 3 seasons and had 2 sacks, he was quite the player back in the day.

I'm sorry but if you seriously think Bernie would make a good GM you are severely impaired. You have a man crush on a decent QB , a horrible businessman and a chemically addicted shell of a man. Given the choice of him or Manning if you choose him please give your keys to the designated driver immediately.

If Bob Griese is in the HOF, then Bernie should be too.

[Zombo]

If I owned the team, Bernie would have a role.

But I am a fan, and Jimmy owns the team. No way he would hand the team over to a guy who has been out of football for 20 years.

I think Bernie knows what the hell he is talking about ... but it doesn't matter. It's gonna be Jimmy and his guys.
