  • Cheers Joe, you'll be missed! 🙁

    Woof Woof!

  • I can see it now...4 games left to go in the season, the Browns starting LT goes down..is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope.. it's joe thomas soaring in with his superman costume and taking his place leading the browns to a super bowl victory...it would be glorious.

  • Thanks for everything Joe! Best Cleveland Browns player of my Era!

  • Just think of the massive effect this will have on our record......

    I was just sitting here wondering as i started reading the thread whether your or Ghoolie would post the silly post about the lack of importance Oline has. This is a HUGE loss.

    I can't remember how many quarterbacks we've gone through since Joe got here, but without him- it would have been around 5-6 more.

    • Dammit we finally may be able to field a NFL level football team and he retires. Good Luck Joe!

    Huge in what way?  Record wise? NO.  He was a great lineman, but had no influence on our win loss record.

  • No idea how the announcement time may or may not have affected free agency but what the hell. I've been hearing for a long time the rehab is taking an extraordinary amount of time and I can certainly understand him not wanting to come back at anything less than 100%.

    Lets look at a different angle perhaps. WITH the talent we have added now and the draft do you believe this team is  better with or without Joe Thomas?

  • Hell of a career, it's almost sad to think that his rookie season the Browns went 10-6. 

    It's like the Browns catfished Joe Thomas. 😆

    See you in Canton, Joe. 

  • Didn't think this was the end.

    Feels like a kick in the nuts.

    I was all good wishes, etc., until I saw his parting vid. His "Go-o-o-o-o Browns" did not sit well.

    Good thing we have a "mobile QB"...

  • The fact this guy never played in the playoffs is a crime.

  • Has there been a better NFL player who played for a worse team than Thomas?

  • Ultimately it was his knee that told him that it didn't want to play football any more.  And as he was saying that I was thinking, Yeah, he was on the injury report every week with that knee.

    He played every play of his whole career for us....as freakin' lousy as we were....constantly changing coaches, playbooks, players, owners....he stayed with us.  

    He's pretty much always represented exactly what you would wish for in a football player.........a left tackle anyway.  Would've been great if he coulda' thrown TD passes for us though.

    I respect the man for all the effort he has put through all this tough years, and I understand that at one point you have to think how do you want to live the rest of your life. NFL takes a lot from the players' body. 

    Take care, Joe and hopefully we'll see you around in some other way! (broadcasting, HOF...)

    Yep...  Had a long career with only one team.   Wish he could've seen more wins but no question he left it all on the field when he played.   I'm sure we will be seeing him on TV in some capacity before too long.  MNF is a good possibility as is the Thursday night games.
