The... I am batting (maybe alone) for the front office thread

I still don't see any football experts with criteria to tell the difference between a Kessler and a Prescott or a Wentz vrs a trade down...
The player evaluators are called "scouts" and, no, you can't see them...
The "vs.tradedown" becomes a consideration only when the scouts are not able to agree/consense with the other evaluation tools on the worth of a prospect... any prospect... commensurate with the pick available.
In the case of a FA, it is worth commensurate with price.

Yay! We have cub scouts and boy scouts in charge of evaluating QB and WR talent. That explains 1-24 football with Legally Blind summarizing all their research in their final decisions. We have the worst QBs and WR situation of 32 teams in a passing era.

Just heard on the 92.3 morning show that Daryl Ruiter (he's the Browns beat writer) tweeted out "Help is on the way!" he said he couldn't say anything but after the guys pushed him on it he said it was "help for the organization" so sounds like a front office addition?

Wow..... In my everyday life for 49yrs I know how hard it is to get just three people to agree on anything, much less 5, 8, 11.... Guess we should look for many more trades throughout the life of The Process.
FWIW, it was Sashi himself who said he had 'final say' when Hue was hired/introduced in what seems like a lifetime ago....
Maybe you've identified the real problem. Nobody makes decisions, and suffers the consequences, in the Browns organization.

Well with the Giants being ass raped by the 49ers....we are very nearly on the clock for the #1 overall pick.

Royce, are you dying? I’ll be praying for you if so.
I suspect that his tolerance for the Browns losing is what is dying.

But maybe we can find someone out of this organization:

I’m just guessing because I’m 6’10 and have spent most of my life burning my candle at both ends. There’s probably a heart attack or stroke waiting around the corner. Furthermore, if I suffer a serious injury or disease I’ll probably just run the car in the garage and cut class early, but I’ll be hoping the browns can turn it around until that happens.

I want FO and coaching to stay the course. Seems like every single regime gets to this point for the browns and the same knee jerk reaction happens.

One or the other has to change. He's a losing coach and is holding the team back.
I dunno. I said when they hired him they couldn't even start evaluation till last eight games of year 2, unless he loses the locker room. And as of now he hasn't. It's quite rediculous that coaches don't get more than 2 seasons in Cleveland let alone 2 seasons when they having to build it right. (Tear down all the trail mix).
Honestly I think it would set this team even further behind to clean house now than to deal with everyone for one more year.
IMO getting to the point where old personnel is being deemed more believable than the organization it's self. Browns show they can't get outta their own way with 90% of their firings since Haslem showed up.
"We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever. -

But other coaches haven't been losing at record levels when we got rid of them. This one is and he is still making the same mistakes over and over again in clock management and wasted time outs. 1-24 and 2-30 don't happen by accident or bad luck. Sometimes a guy is just a bad head coach. Again it doesn't have to be a total house cleaning. Leave the front office, they've made some mistakes but there is some talent on the team but I think the head coach is part of the problem and is bringing the team down on game day. I want to believe in the process and I think it might have a chance of succeeding quite possibly, but not with the current head coach.

definitely if the current thing continues and hue doesn't have an OC. He clearly is inept at doing both.

The NY Giants are 1-8 with their 2nd year HC Ben McAdoo.
Anyone willing to wager that WON’T get shitcanned at the end of the season?
I say he’s as good as gone...any takers?

they should at least keep him for 3 more years so they can test out their "process", losing obviously has to be a part of it.

Unless Kizer shows miraculous levels of improvement the last 7 games, we're drafting another QB HIGH in the first round next year. The pick absolutely can't be screwed up. After the RG III, Kessler, McCarron fiascos- I don't know who to trust anymore. If they were "all in" donating a 2nd and 3rd to the Bengals for AJ- I'd say none of 'em.
MHO? 2-14 or worse, somebody is walking the plank for this disaster. They won't get an entire 3rd season if the doo-doo continues into 2018- even if Jimmy shows some uncharacteristic restraint. No owner is going to tolerate 3-37.
The reasonable expectation in year two of a rebuild was at least 2-7, maybe even 3-6 at this point. You are what your record says you are- and that's historically bad.

they should at least keep him (Giants coach)Fer sure, then you dump for 3 more years so they can test out their "process", losing obviously has to be a part of it.
Yup. dump Eli Manning, Jenkins, and Cromartie- and tear it down to the studs.
the Browns took it a couple steps farther. Bulldoze what was left, and then dynamite the foundation.

I am interested in seeing Davis Webb play. He was an interesting project and supposedly works harder than anyone in the building.
McAdoo is surely gone. Word is he the players absolutely hate him.
I read a book by Nate Jackson (I think that's correct) about life as an NFL scrub. And he said the difference between Denver and Cleveland was night and day. This was Mangini's stint. He'd ask veterans on the team about the playbook, and concepts or schemes to try and get up to speed... and he said they just looked at him like "I have no f'n clue wtf we're doing" Said Mangini would grill people on the spot anywhere in the building about Browns culture, and if they got it wrong it'd be extra running, or fines or something. He said it was just miserable and the whole team just seemed crushed. It was a pretty interesting read. Also talked about how almost all of them smoke weed, but that's more of an IQ test instead of a drug test, but if you fail it, it means you have multiple problems. LOL

The revisionist history I've seen on here regarding Eric Mangini is surprising to say the least.

Astros didn't "sign" verlander. They traded from their incredibly deep farm system which took years to develop, hence the 3 years of 100+ losses and trading away most of their veterans. Not to mention, all the young players developed together under one system and when the time was right to add veteran players such as Beltran, McCann and Verlander they had the depth and financial flexibility to sign or trade for whomever they wanted. Another team utilized the same exact philosophy a few years ago, they were called the Chicago Cubs. Hmmm..this process sounds eerily similar to what the Browns have SAID THEY ARE DOING FOR THE LAST 1.5 YEARS!!!!!! Yes, FB and Baseball are different sports, but the metrics themselves are fairly similar. The Browns aren't going to get stud players in every round they draft. But what they want are very good quality players to support and occasionally play at high levels. This is what you are seeing in guys like Nassib, Schobert, Kirksey, Calhoun, etc. They are not stars but they are showing very good potential once stars are added ie Garrett, Collins.
Adam Berry is the talent evaluator, technically. Personally, I think he has done an excellent job. The "overall talent on this roster is significantly better than it was in the past 4 years. Everyone complains about the WR misses, but this is exactly why the browns have lots of draft picks. So when they miss, and every franchise does, it isn't a franchise killer. The biggest miss has been the Qb's but that falls directly on Hue. He was brought in here to evaluate the qb's. The team has said that numerous times, that his opinion is the deciding factor. Yes, you could argue that the 1-23 record over the last 2 years as an indicator for not having talent on the roster. But Hue has blown least 3 games this year alone due to play calling and game management. This argument is completely different if the browns are 3-5 vs 0-8.
I do feel they need one final person in the room to make the decision. A Football guy so to speak whether it is manning or the guy from Carolina, I don't know the right answer. I think it would help break the tie but most importantly it would STOP THE HASLAMS FROM MEDDLING!! this is the biggest issue. Jimmah and Dee can not and should not have any say in who is on this fb team (outside of personal conduct stuff). PERIOD. If they fire this regime, it is the same old crap once again and they still don't realize they are part of the problem.
