More Peyton Manning speculation
-
How did Sashi ever get this job to begin with?
I was wondering the same thing just yesterday.....
Shashi was already here and was a team lawyer....doing contracts, research, etc.....so, at some point, either Jimmy went to him and said "can you be a GM?".....or Shashi came to Jimmy and said "I have an idea how to run this thing?"......
Somebody(and probably NOT Jimmy) had to develop the concept of this whole analytic thing and the hiring of Depo, etc etc etc.....just dont know how that came to be....
Personally....I think Jimmys hands were tied....he was at the end of his rope....ran out of good ideas and options....had no one on the horizon(and had already fired everyone) and Shashi told him....""let me handle this".....and Jimmy said OK...
and here we are....
First.. WTF are Peyton Manning's qualifications to become a GM?
I was wondering the same thing just yesterday.....
Haven't I explained this to you in the past? More than once?
Two words... Ginkgo Biloba...
We're stuck with sashi and hue, get over it.
Sashi, yes... Hue?
... not sure....but its a feeling)
Indigestion?
Schwartz left as FA; Erving is the one who was traded.
... and is starting at RG... next to Mitchypoo...
Looks really bad, too...

Oh yeah. Well Joe Banner was a beloved member of the Cleveland Browns organization wasn't he?
And thus Steve made a great argument for Sashi's longevity...
-
Yeah...Im not advocating firing everyone.....(well, maybe a little yesterday)(or a lot)(but Ive cooled down)(a little)......just not happy with the process.....
I get that firing these guys will just start the ugly cycle again.....and Jimmy has burned all his lives with his credibility in NFL coachings circles......so we'd just get another suck butt coach or GM......which is a large part of my extreme frustration.......(Jimmy doesnt know what he's doing...he's our biggest obstacle to success)
Its just a bad situation....with no winning in our immediate future.....
Though I have a feeling about next weeks game.....(good? bad?...im not sure....but its a feeling)
Fair enough. This board just needs to be shut down for 24 hours after losses.

Joe Banner made one of my favorite football statements, "Today's NFL is Pass and Rush the Passer". - I felt that we had someone that UNDERSTOOD the game.
He also said that they used analytics and did an in depth study of the QB's coming out that year and that Manziel was waay off the list of QB's to draft because of too many red flags. Shortly after Haslam fired the lot of them and promoted Phucking Farmer. Banner later said, "I'd love to know what went on to bring Manziel from OFF the list of QB's to being the one they drafted".
Banner could be a bit gruff.....but he knew his stuff.

I can assure if we win a game you'll amend that to not just losses but wins too. I can already see starry eyed looks if we get one win....."how many weeks till the playoffs guys? We totally got this!!!! " Lols

I still would like someone to let me know what P. Manning's qualifications for GM are...

Well, the only way ic oeyton coming into this organization is as oc and williams moving to HC/DC. Thats the ONLY scenario ill entertain that has hue leaving. I dont care if the best oc in football wants to come here im not interested in hue leaving. Peyton tho is a national story and you know with 100% certainty he's not coming here to work for one year and then take a well funded 4-5 year hiatus on haslans dime. I trust manning as he has a relationship with haslem and its his first nfl job not as a player so he wont wanna Shmuck it off

I really do think alot of our ex coaches came here knowing that worst case they're let go after a year or two and can then sun themselves in st croix for a couple years and basically be set for life

He'll find the franchise QB as GM.
Actually as much as he has been involved in the Manning training camp, we should at least hire him as a consultant in a QB search. He knows all the best ones up close and personal from that.

He could have a good eye for talent and the respect of players. That could be a key in bringing in players to Cleveland. They'd love to shoot the Sheet with Peyton. But I highly doubt he wants to stay in Cleveland. Maybe that's why Haslam has been staying so far under the cap during this "plan". To save money for Peyton.
-
One other thing of note. Being GM has worked out quite well with another former Denver QB SB winner. I'm sure Peyton has had many a conversation with him over their years together. We could do and have done far worse.

Peyton Manning is coming to Cleveland to save the Browns???..hahahahahahahahshohohohohohehehehehehehahahaha. whew, that's a good one. I hear Tom Brady wants to help him as soon as he retires too. That's some funny poop there.

He's played on a higher level with and against the best players the college system and the pros have to offer. That personal experience should give him an insight as to why one player might be a better teammate than another who's statistics on paper might look better . I'm assuming he knows the game as well as or better than most people involved in the game. While you are pondering things what qualifications does Ozzie Newsome bring to the table? Or Sashi Brown? I doubt one of Peyton Manning's responsibilities will, or should, be to count beans.

Can we go back to talking about cool things like the Browns being the DII college equivalent of a pro football team?

What were Ozzie's?
Ozzie Newsome had been in the Browns/Ravens front office since 1991 by the time he was named GM of the Ravens in 2002. He worked his way up to the position.
