<![CDATA[I think it's time to blow up the team.]]>Right now there is no way possible of us contending for a playoff spot. So time for a fire sell.

1. Get rid of the GM - Farmer he hasn't done anything for this team. All picks been wasted picks.

2. Get rid of Manziel for any pick possible or just cut your lost.

3. Get rid of Gordon (Hate doing this), but has all the talents of a #1 WR. So has some value when he gets reinstated. I would think 3rd or 2nd round pick, but probably more likely a 4th.

4. Get rid of that worthless CB that we picked up in the draft before Manziel I can't remember his name. I would think we should get 5th round or 6th round pick for him.

5. Get rid of Mack he doesn't want to be here, so make it happen and get a high pick for him.

6. Get rid of Thomas (Hate doing this, but more of a kindness of the heart) send him to a contender. With this should get high pick and hopefully some young players if done correctly.

7. Get rid of Haden (He thinks he is good as Revis or top 5 corner, but not.) I believe a team will give a high pick for him, and I think we can get better in that position in future.

8. Get rid of Bowe. Just cut your loss bad GM call. Let him go the same day you let Farmer walk.

9. Get a true GM and surround him with good evaluate-rs. I would look hard into organization with good draft records like green bay, atlanta, old browns guys, and chargers.

Then would in the draft and free agency:

1. Get the QB

2. Build the lines on both sides

3. Then get the skill players

4. I think Pettine is the coach just doesn't have the talent.

1) The excuses have to fuckin' stop! Enough is enough!

2) Send a message once and for all to this owner and STOP GOING TO GAMES!

3) nothing changes because the fans keep going, paying over priced parking, concessions, and ticket prices and lining the owners pockets!

4) Send this guy a message! Perhaps when there are a few black outs resulting in the loss of revenue from the networks, and loss of revenue from low merchandise and low concession sales, he'll get the hint!

5) We always hear that the NFL is a business! OK then treat it like a business!

6) The Browns are like a restaurant that continues to provide shitty service! When a restaurant provides shitty service, do you continue to patronize it?

7) No! Hit the owner in his wallet, and watch how fast they turn it around!

Nice rant and I do appreciate the frustration.....really......and Ive lived it a lot longer than since 1999....none the less, this is a bit of a flawed approach.....

1) I honestly dont see the Browns making excuses....it seems more like they are frustrated too....

2) I do believe the owner knows we aren't happy.....just a hunch....

3) Do you really believe that?.....that they are not even not trying???.....and its because we buy tickets and jerseys?....

4) got 2 words for ya....."revenue sharing"......look it up.....(cause it means they get the $ whether you show up or not)

5) Um....isnt that what you're bitching about???.....that he's making $$$$ and thats all that matters?? (business 101...make money)

6) When a restaurant sucks, dont you just go to another one?(Bengals? Pats?).....or do you stand in front of the bad one and bitch?

7) I see a guy who just dropped a freaking BILLION dollars to own this team.....how are you gonna hit his wallet?....do you honestly believe he doesnt want a winner? ...or isnt trying?......did he fire the last FO just to make sure we stayed bad?......dont think so....

I think he's trying(really).....but they havent got it done yet....But I dont see how everyone bitching and then leaving will make him a better or smarter owner....call me crazy....

I have no idea what made Turbin look like it was his first day of PeeWee practice yesterday. One handoff he has his arms too far apart; later too close together. But you only have to go back a week to see what he has... vision. Agree on his acceleration... it's not up to our other backs' level, but it seems adequate. Quickness? Not sure... he seems to me to run pretty twitchy.

Haha maybe Turbin lifts too much. His arms are too fucking big to fit in the football...

It kind of depends if there are other restaurants in town to eat at 🙂 I hear you man I really do, its kind of a catch 22. Id like the message to be sent but I also don't want to see my Browns headed out of Cleveland again either. Quite the dilemma. I will say that fans are definitely bailing. Sunday the 2 ticket holders on either side of me in a lower level close to field section just didnt show up. They have both told me they wont be renewing and will be selling their PSL's. There were easily 10 open seats in the row behind me as well. Its not looking pretty

Good point about Duke; but I'm not sure they want to get Turbin on the field. He put the ball on the ground twice and I don't see great quickness or acceleration. I'd go with a mix of Crow and Duke.

Crow started like a house a fire yesterday, and I think he has the best balance of all our backs' physical attributes, but his vision just isn't there.

Granted, I don't think it's completely fair to write the kid off because he hasn't played a lot, but it really hurts to see both Carr and Teddy winning games. It hurts really bad.

Let the "Who's got the Power Show" begin.. Drago gets killed to prove JM is not the answer to Farmer , Bowe is only worth what buttbuddies paid him. Turpin let Pet down big time after watching Crow play well, but Pet plays veterans. Duke saw the ball once, thanks Flipo. This is a total Clusterfuck period. Rant over but out there..

The minute Joe Thomas leaves we will search for our next franchise LT. It can be this week or in a few years. Assuming we get only one 1st rounder for him, the most likely place it will be spent is in the next draft... on a LT prospect.

As for Duke getting 75% of the reps... he's neither built nor suited for that IMO. What is his longest run from our Singleback set? Give him a series here and there. Give him third downs. Give him passing situations in the gun, but don't grind him. He won't take the pounding.

Seeing how many of Farmer's1st round draft picks weren't playing yesterday - it's kind of scary. Erving, Manziel watched 36 year old QB in a lot of pain, and Gilbert watched Bademosi drown.

Some other stuff I said just to repeat:

-Fire or demote O'Neil. I get guys have been hurt but his schemes are awful and he's in over his head. The blitz calls this team puts together are so predictable and awful it hurts my soul.

-Duke Johnson is primary ball carrier and is on the field 75% of the time minimum. Turbin apparently isn't good at receiving hand offs, too bad that's about the most important thing of being a RB.

-Bench so called starters on both sides of the ball. Hartline had four drops today, Mack is playing awful, half the offensive line jumps. Get Erving some run, Bibbs, anyone. I'm sure we'd miss Dray and his awful blocking and 4 receptions but we can manage without him.

-If Haden is hurt like I do truly believe he is, shut him down for a while. See what you got in Gilbert or Desir more.

So much more but something's gotta fucking change and make me believe they even give a shit out there.

I agree that this team stinks but isn't that exactly what the Cleveland Browns are?

And cutting the guys with guaranteed contract is another brilliant idea. Just throw the money on a pile with some lighter fluid...

Oh yes, and get the quarterback? Which one? Why not just take about 5 or 6 with all these number one picks we're getting from the bums?

We really do not have anything to work off of at this time. Ive seen this movie before. When Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow and Cribbs and that crew were hanging around people wanted to build off of what we had but then we had nothing either. What do we have worth building around? Lines? Both of our lines have looked like crap. Linebackers? No. Defensive backs? Not really. Wide Receivers? All our guys should be slot receivers. We don't have a number 1. We've got a good tight end. Ok. We've got a decent back in Duke. Ok. Quarterback situation sucks. I'm just not seeing what we have to really build on at this time.

Scary but true, can't believe some people thought this team was playoff bound
