Pettine & Farmer fired what's next?
-
Luck is overrated imo.
as is e. manning, matt ryan, flacco, rivers, tannehill, bradford, stafford...
give McCown a legit blue chip #1WR like Calvin Johnson/AJ Green/Antonio Brown/Julio Jones/Odell Beckham/Josh Flash Gordon etc and a satisfactory running game and i think he'd surprise us quite a bit.
Hartline has a flat tire and the shrimps have taken up residency in the "what's all the fuss i'm just fuckin concussed" crew.
appears Pryor and T Benj have the highest ceilings in my opinion. add a blue chip receiving TE to Gary and the above and I think they can do damage to anyone.
Josh is the QB bar fellow teammates must overcome for the start. his numbers are good and i'd roll with him ala carson palmer/fitzpatrick but he's a little too passionately volatile--his heart is one of his biggest strengths while directly at odds with his durability (!).
not an austin davis fan, he's "ordinary" as someone once said about another Brownie...
i do like Goff. whether it's him or someone else sufficiently adequate i hope we take a gamble and draft one high w the 2nd overall.
adios Farmer and MP. i truly was lobbying for another year, sorry it didn't work out Fellas.
give the fam my best and good luck to da both of youz.

Mccown still has a couple years in him I think, but we do have to have his replacement.
We extended Davis but I don't remember for how much guaranteed or anything.
I'd be OK with:
QB1: McCown
QB2: Rookie
QB3: Shaw
Or
QB1: Goff
QB2: McCown
QB3: Shaw
I'd rather have Shaw on the team than Davis if we do 3 QBs

Well, they do share the zero playoff victories on their resume.

you wouldn't consider them all journeyman vets? all had good seasons this year, stat wise.
Palmer is overrated as well, hot and cold.
but when he's on he's definitely a threat.

don't be a schmuck they're not top tier. besides Superbowls are for sale and rings are not as much of an endorsement as most like to claim.you wanted the gm and hc back for another 3-13 season...jeeeeeez....good lord...oh and by the way, e manning has multiple superbowl victories and flacco has 1 so far...you are calling them overated...you need a shrink...
3-13 and leading the league in concussions, losing 4 defensive starters to free agency, on our 4th starting QB, lost 3 games on the last play, several more were winnable...
i just wanted some offensive continuity. no to O'Neal and honestly I was just giving the GM and HC a warm goodbye on the off chance they may read this board in between vacations...
name the game EM put the team on his back and carried them. EM and especially Flacco played near mistake free on their SB runs, not the same thing. more than managers but not clutch playmaking superstars like Brady, Big B, Brees, Rodg, Cam...
not trying to defend Matt Ryan etc? cherry pick deez nuts.

Matt Patricia apparently is going to be interviewed at some point.

I actually think a stickied appreciation thread for the recently released staff is a good idea. There is a good chance they do read this forum or will in the off months. I'm sure pettine and farmer and other staff are pretty bummed they failed the goals they had set out. I'm sure they did the best they could and tried to give'em hell. But it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe if the browns fan community showed some compassion...well hell guys we may even make someone's day a bit better. End of the day guys the team wins and all of the Brown's players/coaches/shareholders/suits/owner and finally the fans rejoice and have lifted spirits...and when we lose we all share the defeated feeling... Point being a thread that shows we can lose and still support our team and it's coaches and players may just show why cleveland fans are the most loyal fans in the nation. I Think the human element has gone unappreciated and unnoticed in cleveland for too long.
I dunno fella's seems like the right thing to do.

I like that, Caine.

Well said Caine. Would be happy to contribute to such a thread.
Loyaultie me Lie. If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor! -
Sure, hire a guy that will walk out on the team.Doug Marrone would be awesome. Then even the sunshine pumpers would come over to the dark side
Sure, hire a guy that will walk out on the team.
Keep in mind that he exercised an option placed in the contract because the ownership of the team was in flux.
Now ask yourself if you should use that cudgel against Joe Thomas who's not sure he wants to come back after another regime change.

Here's Peter King's opinion for whatever that's worth.....
ClevelandAdam Gase, offensive coordinator, Chicago
One of the whip-smartest play designers and callers, and he’s probably ready for a head-coaching job. I think he’d be a perfect three- to five-year mentor for the quarterback the Browns are sure to draft with the second pick on April 28. (I say three- to five-year mentor, because owner Jimmy Haslam won’t be able to be cavalier with his firing this time.) Another consideration: Not that he would come, but if I were Haslam I’d at least call Kirk Ferentz, the Iowa coach and former Browns aide, to see if the rock-solid Ferentz would ever leave Iowa City.
-
@WSSteve (my reply button doesn't work on my work computer)
I have no issue with Marrone leaving the Bills when he did, it was actually pretty smart. My issue is the manner in which he left, he sent out a mass text message after the news had already broke about his departure.
It was when he was HC at Syracuse, was when he left with one game left on the schedule.

A lot of these guys.....at least Pettine....are going to continue to be paid well for sitting on their keisters. So the tea and sympathy for them is going to be in short supply from me... as, apparently, according to you, they will be doing the same thing as me....sitting on their keister griping about the Browns on this forum.....but getting paid lots of money to do so.
Forget it.
-
Sorry didn't realise this was the appreciation thread! I've been of the view all along that Pettine should stay to see how year 3 panned out, along with most of the coaching staff. Clearly the discord between FO and coaches needed sorting out, but I have always regarded our HC as needing more than 2 years before their influence on the squad/tactics is much clearer. Pettine was a hard working, honourable guy whose efforts to turn around our franchise I have appreciated and thank him for it, along with any other coaches that are sacked and those who remain. I wish Pettine all the best in the future.
However, I refuse to stop believing and being positive just because of another regime change, so I intend to be just as supportive of the new guys coming in.

I would put them all together. King-- master scout. Gase--HC ( jimmy better have strings from Peyton with this roster set-up to fail awhile) & Ferentz OC can do what he did before & fix whatever OL line we got left.

Ferentz isn't leaving a HC job at Iowa to come here and be the offensive coordinator.
