We are going to rename our team from the "Cleveland Browns" to "Who the Fuck are These Guys."

I think history will be kind to Pettine. Or at least feel sorry for him.
Farmer ... may damn well be unemployable.

Let's hope we aren't looking back on the Farmer years with warm and nostalgic reverence in a couple of years.

The story is, I think that Gilbert could not play ...and Pettine knew it. And if Pettine was behind picking Gilbert then he knew he fucked that up. So, he sees Gilbert being suckass partly on his shoulders.....and he probably gave Gilbert no quarter...nor should he have.
Also....Pettine knew that his DC couldn't coach his way out of a doggie bag, so that didn't help either.

No, when Gilbert did play, he didn't look that bad last year. And he certainly did well enough on special teams to make the game day roster, but he got sat.
He wasn't fitting in, whether it was his attitude, or unwillingness to learn the defense, or some kind of off-field/emotional issues.
He showed to be a good kick returner, and he could cover better than Bademosi, but there was a reason he kept getting dropped by Pet.

I agree with this.....I saw plenty of good flashes from Gilbert and think he needs special handling. Obviously Pets methods didnt work well for him....but its also obvious that he's got talent and exceptional gifts......hoping Hue finds a way to tap that.
Ill add.....anyone who is worried about losing Bademosi is stuck on being below average....at this point, if its clear a player isnt starter quality, its time to try someone new....nothing to lose and a lot to gain.....let the turnstile start spinning.....

Probably a bigger loss than most of us realize..Probably a bigger loss than most of us realize..
the only thing i will remember about him is the first 3 letters of his last name....bad....because he stunk worse than any db we ever had....

Dion Sanders really liked Justin Gilbert. Really, really likes him... so there's that. I'm not saying that he's the next Dion Sanders but Gilbert has, when given the chance, flashed here and there.

I think he can be replaced with a bag of leaves.

I know I did....
Farmer gave him overpaid shit to work with.
No argument there.....(fify, btw)

Hush....!

Cause the whole world knows who Johnson Bademosi is???

I am neutral on him. He was an average player (I might not agree that he was terrible but not good either). I think he did play with heart but this team just brought him down like it does so many others. All I can say is thank the maker that Joe Thomas still is staying or this would almost be a complete rebuild instead of an almost complete rebuild.

Id say we are long over due for some drastic action.....we've been well below 500 for 21 of the last 23 years(fact).....so no point in clinging to anything people perceive as needed, cause this team needs everything and then some.....
cant say its a rebuild though, since that would require something was here to begin with that was even worthy of rebuilding.....
