  • I figured he was a goner as soon as he traded Hopkins away.

    The guy is dumber than a doorknob.

    Do you think they are giving up on Darnold?  and Tanking for Trevor? 

    After seeing what the Cardinals did I'm thinking yes, precedent has been set. Sucks because I thought Darnold was best QB in that class.

    Have you watched Sam play? He mostly sucks. I was never sold on him. He played on USC when they had better athletes than their opponents. He's another Matt Leinart.

    Yeah I seen him play but Gase is as bad as Freddie and they're devoid of talent, so I don't think he got a fair shake.

    Hopkins literally my favorite WR. He's just incredible. Although I'm partial to OBJ lately! ?

    I've said it before, I've never seen Hopkins drop a pass. Just amazing.

    And given away for a RB who's last decent season was in 2016.....

    I think Bill tries so hard to imitate Hoodie that he loses his way. You can't just mimic another person 100% and be successful. When Bill found out how much Hops wanted in his next contract, he flipped out and over-reacted.

    Just think...Gase thought he was too good for Cleveland and wouldn’t give an interview.

    Karma is a bitch.

    Final thought...

    Another case of a decent HC who had his team in the playoffs going to "the boss" and saying, "Boss, if I could just have control of personnel..."

    How many times have we seen that be the end of a HC?

    Butch Davis and Eric Mangini on lines 1 and 2...

    When was Mangini a GM? He wasn't when he was our HC.

    Can anyone say any of that breaks their heart?

  • I  wasn't or .. Am not a fan of Bill O'Brien... Don't let the door hit your ass Bill.. We know how this show goes round these here parts... Take yo self elsewhere and keep it as far away from Cleveland as you possibly can... Good luck Romeo...

    He pretty much was running the whole show in '09, his first season with the Browns. 

    George Kokinis was an empty suit that was hired AFTER Mangini, and he was fired halfway through the 2009 season. Trust me, Mangini was running the Browns lock, stock and barrel... I and many others on the old board I was on argued for years with the brilliant mind that is Pete Smith (yes, THAT Pete Smith) about how Mangini completely butchered that draft. ?

    You won't get any arguments out me about his sub-par play but look at the number Freddie did to Baker, it may take another year for him to recover. If I remember right Matt choose to bang bitches at USC while in the NFL, and party during the season like a crazy frat-boy.

    The question is if Sam is terrible, or just playing on a terrible team?  It's been the ruination of many highly drafted first round qbs.  David Carr comes to mind immediately.... Our own Tim Couch may be in the running...

    We had Baker all set up for failure, but somebody went and prioritized the OL and kept 4 superior RBs + a FB + blocking TEs. Go figure.?

    That is what happens often when the HC wants to also be the GM.   Occasionally it works out.  More often not, it seems, including our foray into Butch Davis trying to do that sort of thing. 

  • Texans don't have a LB or DB worth trading for - unless OBrien will give Berry their CB Roby for a 2021 4th as a parting gift - so I'm actually happy with Texans treading water.  Means there's one less AFC playoff contender..

    Obviously depends upon the price, but...

    • OLB Zach Cunningham is an impact player and could easily translate to our 4-3... inside or outside. His ILB, a trimmed-down McKinney, has turned into a nice player that could be a 2-down MLB in our 4-3. Either would improve our current LB room.
    • CB-wise they have Hargreaves and, as you mention, Roby. Meh...
    • Safety? I liked Justin Reid in that 2018 Safety class (it wasn't the 2017 Class by a mile, but it did not suck)... still do.

    I think the fans/owners were sick of 0-3 starts, scrambling to make the playoffs and then not getting any further than the previous year. Plus, his garbage GM moves were nothing short of embarrassing.

    Butch.......uuugghhhhhh. He was "the answer"....until he wasn't.
