    Brilliant move. He decided not to put effort in trying to tackle the return man in Tampa Bay. Team played like crap as a whole. Hue's sending a message. If you don't want to put in 100%, you're gone. Don't care if you are a veteran, one of the best at your position. You're gone. Best part, is it's just a punter, so not like it's gonna impact the team all that much.

    The culture change is real.

    Edit: I can't believe the Browns got a fourth round pick and a punter for Andy Lee and a seventh round pick. Holy crap lol.

    I am not sure his effort was an issue....it is getting a 4th and 7th for a punter. A good one.

    Andy Lee is probably happy going from what may be one of the worst teams in the league to one of the best.

    I think it may have been more of a favor to Lee than a punishment. He is sent, as you say to where his family lives....and to a team that was just in the Super Bowl.

    How is that a punishment for Lee?

  • The ONLY message the Browns are sending is that they have no intention or interest in trying to win....none....

    LAST WEEK....When asked if the Browns were throwing in the season by making so many "odd" moves, Sashi was insistent that the Browns want to win now and everything they do is to win now....

    Biggest sack of shit lie Ive ever heard.....they have cut or released about 8 STARTERS and replaced them with exactly 1....

    Andy Lee was our best bet to get field position....sad but true.....

    And, while I HATED Mingo and Krugers game....we have no linebackers to replace them....

    Pathetic pathetic pathetic...

    Because it's not. This literally had nothing to do with the tackling thing, you guys need to stop acting the sheriff came to town. They got a good value pick for a punter who is 34 years old. That's it-

    It's frustrating, but this is what a TRUE rebuild looks like. I saw the Panthers do this exact same thing in 2010-2011 before/after drafting Cam Newton. A bunch of head scratching moves but was the reason they got players like Luke, all those dope defensive linemen, and the MVP of the NFL last year.

    Honestly, it stings to say but this team was gonna blow whether guys like Lee were on the team anyway. So would you rather win 4-5 games with Lee or 2-3 without him and others? I get it but this FO has made no bones about their plans from day one. This stuff only continues to show it.

  • Lee could have tried to get in the way, he still would not have made any physical contact.

    This team is so F'n bad, 1-15.

    Thats not true.....they never said they were stripping the roster bare of all highly paid/mature players.....and, just last week, Sashi went on record as saying the were NOT rebuilding and everything they do is in an effort to win....and they are playing to win now....

    Lying sack of crap....(and a bad decision maker too)....

    Embarrassing your growing" team and fans on a weekly basis is NOT how this team will get better or create a winning culture.....they are immersing all their new talent and rookies in a cesspool of shit......

    How many GMs have come out and said "oh yeah this is a rebuild and we are totally going to suck"? The fans would revolt. They want a Superbowl team without any of the growing pains. This roster sucks and will be rebuilt.

    I still think they plan on doing the Indianapolis version of "suck for Luck" to get the first pick in the draft.

    Maybe we can call it "lose on for Deshaun".

    Well yes, Sashi literally never said "we plan to get value for players worth trading and suck ass while young guys get reps". Of course they are going to say publicly they are trying to win and making moves to do so. That's literally coach/FO speak 101 Mud...

    If you really didn't see this coming from draft day and all the moves they've made that's really unfortunate. It was clear as hell to me, and I was fine with it to be honest. As noted, every "good" player they've parted with would not have made this team more than a 5 win team. I'd rather truly suck and possibly get the elite QB as opposed to the typical below average crap of the last idk, decade.

    Read up on the Panthers in the 2-14 season before Cam was drafted. I'm telling you, it blows but it's actually not a bad strategy for once.

    The only caveat to this strategy is they had better be able to draft competent NFL caliber players.

  • Im not down....I understand we needed to rebuild. But, now we need 40 guys....soo, next year we gonna draft 5 LB's?.....and the years after we gonna draft 5 QB"S????

    So....RGiii is supposed to be the next guy....but lets say we draft a qb....so how does he play w/o a line? or a Defense....

    Teams rebuild all the time, w/o completely wiping out the roster in one fell swoop.....and they draft smarter then we just did....

    If it's RGIII and then. next year, a QB with the #1....why draft a QB in the 3rd???(no foresight)...

    If you have faith in your ability to select player, why draft 4 at the same position, when you have a few in house and the prospect of an all star coming back....why?....no faith in your own choices or evaluation of your own players???

    Oh man.....tick tick tick.....Jimmahs not gonna wanna wait for this reset.... PTIV

    And save your breath with the "rebuild" explanations....I know what a goddam rebuild is....I also know bad football choices when I see them.....and Im seeing them....a lot lately

    Here's a good article on the panthers 2013 draft. That draft they used 2 top picks on defensive linemen when they already had a pretty solid core with Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson and others. At the time, people scoffed at drafting a dude with a heart problem and yet another linemen on top of that. It's pretty fair to say those dudes turned out okay.

    It's impossible to use the foresight when rookies have played in three games mud. This plan was coming from 10,000 miles away so we might as well see if it works.

  • hahaha....Right now, Im just seeing red.....there's no talking sense into me for the moment...

    Ill calm down eventually......maybe around 2020 or so.....
