    Well Gip....to this point.....I dont believe that Shashi has cut a single player he's drafted.......ever.....

    This should be the year that some go......but, Im guessing some better players will be cut and lesser players retained, just because of their origin.....

    Yes, my point exactly.  He has 3 of those 4 WRs that he drafted last year, none of which have done Bo Diddley yet. 

    I think his actions in this regard delve more into arrogance than analytics.

          Hence why I am so pissed at the release of Haden. He wasn't one of their guys... but he was one of "our" guys. Haden has been here to experience all the losing, along with Thomas. He didn't deserve the contract he was being paid based on his analytic chart, but to "me", he deserved every bit of it. Hell, it took 16 million dollars and a fourth round draft pick to get a second round pick. I loved that Joe Haden WANTED to stay here when he could have bounced and took his talents to South Beach with LeBron, but Haden stayed. Yo, that shit means something to ME. You guys can say what you want but I watch the Browns and wish they could win every game. But, you know what 17 years of losing has done to me? I enjoy the process now, I've found the GAME inside of the game. I love Browns football. It's brought my family TOGETHER. From trips to the Stadium for Family Fun Night, to PreSeason games, to Berea for Training Camp, to bull-riding and zip-lining to Meet the Rookies. The Browns mean something to ME and MY FAMILY. We have taken enough losses and cried enough tears to have the honor of having "our guy". 

          Haden Joe-Otto Thomas is our Dog's name and our late cat's name was Cribbs. We also have Dawson. 

          I think we have to decide what kind a of team we want to be?

            You know I've been a Greco fan, Mud, but he was not the same player this preseason.

            And I'm not buying the whole "just because this FO did not sign him" thing...

                      Getting rid of a player with highly diminished skills is definitely comparable to selling your soul....

                          Is "diminished soul" the same as a "Little Bit of Soul"?

                          ... and, no, I never saw them in concert.

                            OK,  I was not sure when we got him....last year or the year before.  So...he is the only guy that Sachi has ever drafted that he has cut loose.   There may still be a couple before the end of the day. I surely do not think that those 4 WRs from last year will all stick here.
