  • Haslam and Sashi agreed on a tanking plan. As MKC wrote once, Hue's best roster (until now) was the team on the day he signed, after that good players like Mack, Greco, etc were allowed to leave, cut or traded. They probably should be better than 1-31 in two seasons but not by much.

    I heard on a local radio show yesterday, that Joe T., when asked about Hue, stated that you can't judge him by the first 2 seasons because the organization was tanking....they were losing purposely. Does anyone buy this? If so...it makes me dislike Hue more for taking the HC job, and agreeing to lose by design.

    I don't believe Hue tried to lose any games, no coach does that.

  • So there's no confusion, I believe the Browns plan was to strip the team to the foundation, acquire tons of picks, which would be high picks due to the lack of any veteran talent and the overwhelming youth of the roster, and rebuild from there.

    The Houston Astros or Philadelphia 76ers Plan for the NFL. 

    I do not think players or coaches were throwing games.

    I agree. I also feel it was a "tank job" explained as Dutch has so well above.

    Ahh!   There's the rub.  Hopefully that has changed the last couple of years.

    But, lets face it:    Last year we took  3 players in the first round:   Peppers, McGarrett, and Njoku.    This year we took 2:  Mayfield and Ward.

    Odds are that at least one or more of these will end up being a bust.   (I will resist the Browns history that says that 4 out of 5 will be that).

    So, which one is most likely to bust?

    Njoku peppers Mayfield ward Garrett. In that order.

    The joke is definitely showing signs of Coleman disease. If he doesn't start hanging on to everything in sight, he's a goner.
