<![CDATA[Browns front office goes worse than stupid?]]>So, allegedly, the Browns are letting it be known, that they

really, really want Manziel, and will trade up for him. Ordinarily, I'd

figure this was bogus, except with Banner and Scumbardi in the fo......

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/19/report-browns-willing-to-trade-up-for-manziel/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs
Then, this report - the Dolphins knew Bess had mental and other problems...
and didn't tell the Browns before the trade...and the Browns didn't do their homework.
Until Banner and Scumbardi are gone, Haslam can go to hell. I mean, who makes
a trade like that? Kinda like, drafting that lb in the fourth round, then he never even
gets signed because of legal troubles that were already in place? At least that
wasn't scumbardi...I think. Think it was savage.

We wouldn't even have Gordon if the current FO was in place.

FUCKING BRING BACK TOM HECKERT!!!!

Lombardi was critical of the browns pick of Gordon.

The browns have 6 players representing the pro bowl.

4 of them were when Heckert was here (since 2010: Haden/Ward/Gordon/Cameron)

Plus other solid players : Phil Taylor, Skrine, Tashaun Gipson, Benjamin.

I don't think he did too shabby in his time here, other than the notorious 2012 first round. But rumor has it that was the walrus overruling Heckert.

Too early to judge Lombanner. Trich move was good. Draft was pretty blech. Hoyer was good. Kruger bad, Bess bad, coaching hires bad, blech.

Nothing is ever 100% leading up to the draft

I would hope so.

And just WTF is that thing you now have for an avatar?

They also drafted Gordon and Cameron whom are look elite players in their respective positions.

Actually the current FO drafted neither...

They did pull off a nice heist with Trent Richardson.

They also drafted Gordon and Cameron whom are look elite players in their respective positions.

Let's just wait and see.

We see this stuff every year, yet this year people think it is reliable information.

Any chance maybe the Texas are leaking this to try to get someone to jump in to their pick? Or possibly some lame ass Browns fan who just hates the FO?

Carry on.

'Peen, there's plenty of us out here who aren't lame ass fans that have serious doubts about The Stooges competence to run an NFL franchise. If they blow this draft, they can start scheduling tractor pulls in First Energy Sunday afternoons in the fall, the stadium will be so empty.

I hope that this is bullshit, not because I'm vehemently opposed to drafting Manziel, but because if the report is true than this FO just wrote the book on incompetence.

If the report is accurate and BanBardi let everyone know their draft strategy months before the draft I'm gonna try my hardest to set up a game of high-stakes poker with these mongoloids.

unless its some grand scheme by Lametardi to take a kickker with the first pick...nothing this idiot does surprises Me anymore.

Surely not even these guys can be that Retarded. Or maybe they're trying to drive Manziel's stock up, so that he gets taken higher - maybe the Raiders trade up to 2 to get him, and we're hoping for Bridgewater or Bortles to fall.

why does it always seem like the fans, and particularly these posters on this board are more intelligent than the people running the Browns?

Because if the Browns FO office has the standard of intelligence they should have, stuff like this would never have come out. Unsubstantiated rumor? Manziel's agent?

Exactly- if Gase & Quinn are their top two targets, it's certainly going to come up in the interview what they think of Johnny Football. So they can certainly say his qb style doesn't fit my system, so no thanks. They'll both have far more attractive offers in 2015.

Ouch, the comments on the Manziel article are brutal... lots of talk about him pulling a eli/elway on us also. I would assume everyone on draft day will have their fingers crossed praying the Browns don't pick them. It really is a factory of sadness.
