Throwing away money and picks

[stillmotion]

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.

Explains LondonBrown's posts then. 

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...

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.

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?

Yeah LondonBrown - you're an Englishman, not a Frenchman!

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.

if makes me sad to see him go in such a fashion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I allways enjoyed a epic meltdown before someone leaves a board L.B just sorta went out with a wimper #makes me sad

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.

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.

Hey London I am a Brit too.....wanna borrow my spare redcoat

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....

and what exactly have we thrown away ?

Exactly. What the Shmuck are we so proud of that we are considered throwing away. F u c k outta here. 

[Dutch Oven]

So has anyone who has threatened to quit this board ever actually quit this board?

[Ibleedbrown]

I must admit l have my doubts about how all this offseason action is going to translate into wins. It’s throwing a bunch of guys who have had some success in whatever systems they played in on whatever teams they played for, and banking on it all just working out under the watchful eye of Hue Jackson.

Is it that far fetched to think there might be an adjustment period where the wins aren’t as plentiful as we’d like? And that that adjustment period might get Hue shītcanned, which leads to a new coach, and new schemes, and new bullshît?

BALT x 2  = 1 - 1

CIN x 2 = 1 -1

PITT x 2  = 1 - 1

ATL- loss

CAR - win

KC - win

LAC - toss up

NYJ - toss up

TAMP - win

NO - loss

OAK - loss

DEN - loss 

HOU - loss

8 wins is doable IMO.

I was joking.

How can you not be happy with what Dorsey has done?
