No Risk It...No Biscuit

IMO... passing on the QBs we had a shot at this draft was more "no-brainer" than risk.
Biggest risk I have seen this FO take is letting Schwartz walk. Adding this disruption to Mack's departure (which I believe was unavoidable) was unnecessary.
Yep I agree. The Browns have the $ to keep anyone they wanted. But it's a new regime so if Hue wants everyone to buy into his system I guess he feels the need for younger players rather than veterans who can spot a chink in the armore a mile away. If the sky starts falling at week 3 it's going to be the vets knowing it was going to happen. Plus, it's hard to turn it around when the year before you only won three ball games.IMO... passing on the QBs we had a shot at this draft was more "no-brainer" than risk.

Passing on the qb's in the first rd. I pointed out this would happen after RG3 came aboard. That doesn't mean I agree with it. But I can say the Rams ans Eagles took bigger risks getting the qb's. They put the farm as a down payment for a night on the town. I feel Wentz or Goff weren't worthy of such a high pick.it was hype that got them in a right year for need. So...was it such a risk not getting them? Ask the other qb's that were drafted in the first rd along with another first rounder to the Browns. Manziel, Weeden and Quinn all had fellow teammates drafted in the same rd.

Gipper goddamn it. It's a smart move if a risky move works in your favor.It doesn't take risky moves.....it takes smart moves. It takes hiring the right coach.....drafting the right players. The Browns have taken their risks with the likes of drafting JFF/TR, moving down to get Gilbert etc. Now we to hope that HJ is that quality HC we have been looking for for 30 years, and that last year's group and this year's group of draftees turn out to be the quality that many other draftees were not.
As far as a single risk.....they obviously did that bringing in Griffin. What bigger risk beyond that could they have made? Let's hope that was risky and smart.

Smart....or lucky? I will take lucky. You know the old saying....and it certainly applies to the Browns: If it wasn't for bad luck they would have no luck at all.

Every time anything is done, that inherently a risk to something else -- because of the opportunity cost that was given up.
We didn't address DB [aside from trading for Taylor] this offseason... because we addressed WR.
If you think free agents are the answer, the only question you're asking is "How much money can we waste right now"
If you're looking for a temporary fix designed to boost jersey sales, then keep demanding "immediate solutions now"
If you actually want a long-term solution, then you need to give management 2,3,4 years to actually rotate through addressing each position individually.
Taking players in the supplemental draft is a risk - because you give up that same pick in the following year's actual draft.. when you can get a player you are much more certain will be a good contributor rather than the discipline nightmare which is causing the player to be in the supplemental draft.
How did Pryor work out for OAK? I don't think Gordon has actually worked out for us, regardless of his potential reinstatement.
I do NOT think the solution is to make more "risky" moves --- that's akin to telling poor people that the reason they're poor is because they haven't bought enough lottery tickets. Rather, I think the reason Browns have been terrible over the past few years is because they keep shooting for the moon instead of building a roster of consistent contributors.
Kruger was a terrible investment.
T.Williams was a terrible investment.
Paul Soluiuaiauairy was a terrible investment.
Dansby took time away from developing Kirksey.
Dwayne Bowe
And there's plenty of history [Gary Baxter, Donte Stallworth, LeCharles Bentley, Jeff Garcia, among others]
Beef up the scounting, draft and develop and retain -- that's it, and that's always been it.

I know the NFL is a risky business, but I think maybe a new cheerleader might help. Enjoy!

Was a classic and backed it up with the train scene...
Personally, I favor "Body Heat" featuring a young and very hot Kathleen Turner, and one of my favorite line sequences ever...
Ned: I need a lot of love.
Matty: I'm a married woman.
Ned: I only need it for tonite.

So I tried starting a football thread to get away from being crazy again. Then the perverts took over.

You put the word risky in their to describe NFL business. That diverts me to Rebecca every damn time. Yeah, "My name is Bill and I'm a divert".
