<![CDATA[Mingo and his agent UPSET about playing time]]>Barkevious Mingo isnt happy about his playing time. His agent, Jeff Guerriero, had this to say:

[Mingo] is an impact player [He] needs to be on the field. Its that simple.

He only played four snaps last week, which really is almost nothing. He goes on to say that he doesn't think he is at the point of asking for a trade just yet. But If we did try and trade him we would be lucky to get a bag of peanuts for him in return. Just a useless player.

Good thing the Browns stayed away from the Honey Badger taken with the very next pick. Typical Browns Draft that was.

Unfortunately it's up to the organization to evaluate, or in the Browns case fail to properly evaluate, talent.

Both are severely under performing and complete train wrecks, when it comes to staying on the field.

I guess deflecting and pointing to coaching helps alleviate their sense of failure.

I'm a little upset at his lack of production when he does play.

Fuck Mingo, he's another Vernon Gholston.

But at least, he's not another OSU flop.

Both these guys are constantly injured in the first place. Telling your agent and announcing to the world you're unhappy instead of going straight to the coaches is ridiculous.

Sammy Watkins isn't asking for a trade, but he stated to a buffalo paper that he wants 10 targets a game.

He never seems to play physical like he should be able to. He seems to tackle

like a kicker when he could just slam a ball carrier into the turf....

just my opinion....

Mingo was most definitely Lombardi's pick, but what I'm saying is it won't help Farmer's cause because it's yet another first round failure. We want impact players, and unfortunately, many of them seem to come from the first round.

Yup... As in no matter who botched the pick, it's another one the current GM has to make up for...

Also may I point out that Mingo was a Lombardi pick?

How about this for an article? "Fans upset about Mingo playing at all." Or, "Entire Browns organization wondering if Mingo will do anything to make an impact." Many of us did not like the pick, and once again we are treated to a first rounder that hasn't lived up to expectations. Unfortunately, this will be the reason Farmer will be asked to leave. He's had some nice finds later in the draft, but you make your money with the first round allstars, and we have too few of those. It especially hurts to see Julio Jones turn into the best WR in the league. Yeah, we got a ton for him, but look what we did with it. Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson, Phil Taylor, Justin Gilbert, Johnny Manziel, Barkevious Mingo...

I completely realize we all have the benefit of hindsight, but my lord. The first round is basically the only round where the average Joe can select someone as well as a GM. How many people were screaming for Derek Carr? Khalil Mack?

Farmer didnt draft Mingo.. Lomtardi did.

Pretty good TE class though... Eifert, Kelce, Ertz...

Sheldon Richardson, in hindsight, would have been a great pick, and Bell is probably the best player from that hugely disappointing draft. EJ Manuel? Eric Fisher? Luke Joeckel? Dion Jordan? Miami moved from 12th to 3rd to pick him.

Mingo may not be an impact player yet but he's a good player, PFF rated him very high against the run last year when he was playing with essentially one arm.

How good? The whole one-armed thing only served to reflate his depressed expectations. Makes Barkie's lack of contribution this year all the more frustrating.

When you are drafted to be a sack machine, being an OK tackler and a good coverage OLB just don't make it. He simply has been unable to add strength/mass to that frame of his.

I can't tell with your phrasing whether Farmer will be dismissed because of first round failures including selecting Mingo? Because if so, Mingo was LOLbardis pick.

Mingo had 2 good pass defenses this season. Otherwise I haven't seen him much.

I still think he could be a valuable pass rusher/tight end cover guy.

If we ran a 4-3, yeah he'd be a pretty decent 4-3 will imo.

Yeah sorry I just don't see that at all. A top 5 pick OLB needs to be better than just stopping the run. He's out of position an incredible amount and it's past the point of "learning the position". I don't see that being O'Neil's fault although I think he is a bad DC. He's a lot like Gilbert IMO-a guy who has all the skills and ability in the world but can't put them together.
