Jimmy says.....
-
Ok....so Jimmah spoke yesterday....declared the season as a disappointment(IE..not the plan).....and went on to say that they have confidence that the crew that didnt succeed this year will succeed next year......HA!
He pointed to 3 steps we need to take for success.....let's review them, shall we....????
— Jimmy Haslam on keys to the future-
No. 1, we’ve got to re-sign our key players.
Ok.....really????......so, after the debacle that was FA 2016, we will suddenly start to value our own and we have done the things needed to get players to stay?.....Ill believe it when I see it.....
Sign Bito, Collins, Pryor and Kirksey for a good start.......
No. 2, we’ve got to be appropriately aggressive in free agency.
Ok....really(again)?......what does appropriately mean?.....cause signing one crappy washed up QB and a nobody linebacker aint gonna get it......How about signing some player who will fill holes in the team, instead of replacing big paychecks with little ones.....
and No. 3, we’ve got to have a great draft......
Hahahaha....no shit sherlock.....year 2, here we go.......on the edge of my seat, as I expect Shashi(and his group) to suddenly go from clueless to above average instantly......
Honestly......it's gonna take SEVERAL great drafts to get this team to elite and, right now, there is zero indication that we have the people in place to make that happen.....
In Jimmys defense....he stood up there like a man and took the hits.....admitted he sucks as an owner.....admitted they keep making bad choices.....admitted this season was a failure.....admitted they are bad custodians of this once great franchise......etc etc etc.....
Then he said they will work work work to get it right.....
Somehow, Im not convinced......
I'll bet they're also working on raising the 2017 ticket prices.Then he said they will work work work to get it right.....

As time passes we all tend to forget that none of the FA's that left wanted to be a part of this shit show, can't put that on them. Don't bring up Schwartz, he fucked up thinking he was better than he is and lost a gamble. By the way where did he go? Now how do we keep Collins and Pryor both? Franchise or overpay?

Sounds like 3 things we should have done last year...

They will keep them the same but sell us on the bullshit that the overall cost will be 10% cheaper due to London. Would it be a good investment to purchase my London tickets and sell them for euros on one of the ticket markets??

Well, Mack is the only one where that was clearly the case......
But the real questions are, what did they do to replace those guys????....and....What did they do to change the perception for the next FA class???
You can put that on them....
-
And does pryor want to be here? Has he signed on with the coaches plan? Or is he planning to hold us up, just in it for the money...
Collins is probably only in it for the paycheck.
If we're going to throw money at somebody we need another Eric Steinbach.

2016 is an evaluation year, 2017 will be the fill in the blanks year and 2018 AFC North Champs. Of course I would take 18 a year early if we could.

Not much of an answer, ace......
Evaluation of what?...a bunch of middle round picks and UDFA's who played like a bunch of middle round picks and UDFA's?......
how do we fill blanks when no one wants to come here or sign on for the "plan"???
Is there a long line of football talent chomping at the bit to sign up with this FO and Coaching staff???.....
Are there a bunch of top Pro's who see what most of us cant??......
I dont think so.....

They tried and failed at both the C and RT position, slight setback that MUST be rectified this offseason. Did you see this OL 6'9" 320lb monster they added this past week. If they can get him to pan out that would be awesome.

They tried nothing.....and instead, just inserted last years back ups....who weren't good enough then, and still arent....
And they did it everywhere.....LB.....FS.....SS.....OL.....DL.....Etc....
A complete fail....100%

Ha!....bully?.....I prefer realist.....
I have to have faith so I don't talk myself out of paying my renewal.

Thats cool.....I get it(really).....heck, I was also a blind loyalist....for years....even decades.....
But there comes a time.....even with family and loved ones.....where tough love is the only answer.....and, for me, that time has come.....
Now.....Im judging.....and watching.....and calling a spade when I see it.....
Football is supposed to be fun....and I will stay tough until the fun returns.....(and will be keeping my $$$ in my pocket too)....
Sold my seats when the team left....and havent regretted it yet......

Only part where I disagree with you is last years free agents. The team only won 3 games with those guys on the team so how good were they really? I'm willing to keep an open mind and wait and see what happens. 4 picks in the top 50, a bazillion dollars under the cap. There are a lot of oportunties to make this team a whole lot better next year.
Pryor has said before he wants to stay with Hue so hopefully that is the case.
-

Nah, after 1-15 no way they can raise prices. Expect a humongous jump after the first winning season though.

agents overvalue and teams undervalue, what is a #1 WR that gets 1000 yrds worth?

Id say they were at least 2 wins better.....and if we believe the "fire everybody" crowd from last year...possible several games better than that...(7 the year before).....
My beef, all along, hasnt been that we shoulda kept them....it's been that we shoulda replaced them.....big difference.....
Simply cutting players then inserting their backups(you know, the guys who couldnt beat them out to begin with?) isnt a good plan for success......

Re: those FAs, I'd say good for about two more wins.
If this was a total youth movement, mission accomplished. -

I can't imagine anyone would be thrilled about any increase in prices after a 1-15 season, 1-7 at home.
Who do they think they are the Indians? (I understand Tribe ticket packages are doing well.)
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!
