Why doesn't Bowe play?

The Browns Board

  • If there's already another separate thread for this feel free to delete but for all the talk I've heard about the non-participation by Dwayne Bowe I wonder if there is any insight at all as to what the problem might be?

    Has he been incompetent or insubordinate or lazy and practice?

    There has to be some reason?

    If Bowe becomes the determining factor of who between Farm and Pet goes, then it does not look good for Ray.

    We dont know who....if anybody.....has Haslams trust(or ear).....

    But, based purely upon demeanor in their most recent pressies, Id say Farmer was way more uptight and defensive....

    Pettine looks tired and disgusted. but not nearly as defensive or as agitated as Farmer came off......

    True on the ear... but if we look at the money, the direct losses due to high-priced player misses are pretty clearly on scouting... and money is where Jimmy's ear is at.

    Agree on Farmer...

    Agree on Pet...

    Someday we need to "what if we'd never drafted JM". What if, as h put it so long ago, the circus had never come to town.

    Tour- I'd hate to be right about the Circus comment, but I saw the train coming down the track, and was hoping the Browns would jump out of the way before it was too late. Yup, I was totally bummed when that pic was announced. Pettine left the door open just a crack for JFF. Not certain if Manziel is willing to walk through the door. He may not get the opportunity if Davis plays 1\2 decent. Austin was signed to a couple year extension- but that could well be just another in a long line of Farmer f**kups.

    I do think it's in the Browns long term interests to at least give Manziel a couple more starts- to see what they have, or possibly increase his trade value if they've determined to move on. Haven't looked it up, but MHO is it would be in the historical range to can a first round qb pick after as few starts as Johnny. Even bums like Wee-done, and the Not so Mighty Quinn got 20+ starts before they were shipped out.

  • I'm too lazy to look it up but how many of our opponents might lock up their division before we play them? That way we will faced the scrubs and could possibly win a game or two?

    Yes, but it was a fluke. Despite the low level of competition the brown should have won that game. But like they say...

    I think that is an excellent idea once it has completely played out. Maybe in 2030? Or maybe 2016? Pretty sure now it will be one or the other. The circus tent will fold at one of those times. If it's 2030 I sure hope it's the Browns and not the Cowboys.

    Here's a what if. What if we'd started him at the beginning of this season instead of dilly dickin around and whining about TMZ?

    Or even started him at the beginning of last season with the full confidence as the starter?

    How much different would our record me today and how much more or less of a laughing stock?

  • In other words, Steve, what if we'd handed him the keys and said "good luck"?

    That would have been AWESOME!!!!....considering he couldnt even call the plays in the huddle last year....

    The players probably would have rebelled and screamed for Hoyer.....just my guess....

    And that rehab?......never woulda happened.....(not that it's helped much)
