Equilibrium?
-
The fuckups with both Butch Davis and Mangini was allowing/requiring them to each be the GM as well as HC. They weren't suited for those duties or that much pressure......they should have been left to coach. That....and never having a QB.
it has always seemed to me that if there is a solid scouting team in place then the head coach should have an inside track on the general manager job. He should have a damn good idea of what players he wants to work with.

That may be good with a truly experienced, proven HC......like Parcells was, or BB.....but not these newish HCs like Butch and Mangini.

So? How are the Browns doing with this Equilibrium thing? Here is a current breakdown:
Lose Hoyer.....replaced by Josh McCown.....probably a wash imo (or a slight minus in yours?)
Losing Thigpen....replaced by Thad Lewis.....probably a slight plus
Lose Skrine....replaced by Tramon Williams....all around considered a big plus
Probably losing Rubin.....replaced by Starks....considered a slight plus
Probably losing Austin Miles.....replaced by Dwayne Bowe.....considered a plus
Probably losing Sione Fua....no direct replacement....But others on roster plus rookies can more than make up for 3rd stringer..wash
Lost Paul McQuistan....no direct replacement....but same as above....wash
Lost Jim Leonhard...no direct replacement....but also others on roster can replace talent....but veteran leadership loss means a slight minus here.
Lost Jordan Cameron.....no replacement yet. Losing out on Clay means this is a large negative so far.
Lost Jabaal Sheard....no replacement yet. Large negative so far.
Signed Hartline....he is not directly replacing anyone (unless you count him and not Bowe as the replacement for Austin). So no matter, losing one veteran WR and replacing him with 2, both of whom may be considered better than him is a big plus. Though, since Hartline is a possession receiver, perhaps he can fill some of Cameron's shoes.
Overall assessment:
Offensive Skill positions....QB/WR/TE....call it about an equal deal....or slightly less....Do two WRs replace a WR and TE. Not exactly IMO. Cameron's skill not completely adequately replaced.
Offensive Line....No real loss suffered at all. Wash
Defensive Backfield...Upgraded.
Defensive Line....Slightly upgraded (I put Sheard in the LB corps)
Linebackers....Loss of Sheard, not replaced....Downgraded.

I'm pissed off because were going back to the Mangina way of doing things like, Signing aged veterans.. This basically guarantees we wont be in the hunt anytime soon, and we''ll be another losing facsimile I.E. "The Mangina Way" wich is the loser way.
