Throwing away money and picks
-
I said that.
They are and thats why you bring in FA guys who have experience instead of waiting for a rookie to come around. You can win now and still build for tomorrow. Ive been out of town, but dont the Browns still have all 1st picks and 2nd round picks? They spent a 3rd.
The question is how much winning is enough. Most of us just want progress without mortgaging the future. I see the Browns on that track. Mark said 7-9, heck even 6-10 is progress. There's a few pie in the sky guys expecting playoffs- I won't name names, but you know who they are.

Playoffs are not probable but they are possible.
I like to break down the season into 4 - 4 game quarters. Splitting even 2 - 2 in each quarter gets you 8 - 8. A couple of plays here or there can make it 10 - 6. It all has to come together which is sometimes difficult with guys learning new schemes and all.

I reckon we will be 6-10 or 8-8 this year and everyone will celebrate a comeback.
Errrrrm Well done.
This franchise is going nowhere long term and you wanted passive aggressive from me well I guess you got it.
I'll disagree.
We still have our top 5 picks in the draft- check
Plenty of cap room for the future- check
Bridge quarterback in place- check
Traded a 4th round pick for best slot receiver in the NFL- check.
Unloaded under performing Shelton and Kizer- check

That's the key here.
C'mon London, we've all been waiting, waiting, and more waiting for the fortunes of this team to turn around. No guarantees these acquisitions will do that, but they had to try and bring some experience around here. The team is so very young.
I think it's obvious they're expecting #73 to retire, thus the OL signings.

Fair enough
It’s been a few months now of stuff like this thrown at me for not having the same opinion as the rest of you. Bit tired of it.
I shall bow out of the board and bid you all a farewell.

Well, I think it is better that there are different opinions, as it enriches the Board and allows us to see everything the Browns do from every perspective.
I wouldn't come here to look for aprovaI or people thinking like me, I instead come here to talk and discuss (and cheer, and cry) about a team that I like.

Hubbard is not making the money you think.
Only 18 million is guaranteed over 5 years. Thats only 3.6 million per season x 5 years plus salary and extras. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8729/chris-hubbard 3.6 million is a drop in the bucket factored into an NFL salary cap.

They drink paint over there?
Explains LondonBrown's posts then.
It tastes like Zaya rum.

I think it's admirable what Dorsey is doing because literally we can't expect to keep drafting people in mid to late rounds and that we can build a roster solely from them. If we keep doing that, we'd have more cap room than anyone in history and no "real" NFL players. I don't fault Dorsey for going after "real" players, even rotational ones. He's trying to win, and before you strike him for spending, it takes money to win money.

Well, I had never written pint and it turns out that, like every other freaking word in English, it is written differently than it is pronounced...

Oh....don't be a pussbag. Just because you have an opinion that people don't agree with? Jumping Jesus, people disagree with me on here every day. Its no reason to run off and hide.
I mean....are you just going to give up? What would Winston Churchill think of such pusillanimity?

Here's the schedule, it's early....
Home: Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Carolina, Kansas City, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Jets Hope for 4-4 out of that bunch...
Away: Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Oakland, Denver, Houston 3-3 out of the red gets you to 7-9.

I don't see us winning less than 16 regular season games with that cream puff schedule. Maybe we go 15-1 because we rest all the starters week 17 and lose by a field goal.

Sashi had a plan other than “throw red meat to the pitchfork-wielding villagers.” New FO doesn’t.

Sashi's plan also depleted the Browns of ALL positive offensive veteran presence. Where did that get all our rookie talent? They had no leadership in their position rooms or on field. IMHO, Sashi did us no favors. The picks he compiled were at the expense of development of our young players & costing us top QUALITY players with his "trading down". His plan did NOT accelerate this Teams' growth...it Retarded that growth.

It’s an adios from me, no point posting stuff and joining in if you’re going to be accused of being drunk every time you do.
Adios to the poster Nero a fellow European, one day the men of Spain will work out unemployment is around 50% because you sleep for five hours during the day ?

You have to realize that drunk stuff is just kidding, don't take it seriously. Ghoolie calls me every name in the book when he doesn't agree with me. Remains to be seen what the future holds for this team- and I hope you reconsider and stick around....
