    The Browns may very well be worse than last year. If that's the case, how many people will want to purge the FO and coaching staff yet again?

    exactly. hope the fans that are applauding realize they won't be liking anything they see on sundays for quite some time. and if that's the case will people still show up to the stadium and buy season tickets? will the crowd in the stadium not boo and start throwing dog bones or beers (!?!) and not call for jackson and co's heads year two?

    the money thing with haslam is what i worry about. as war pointed out, he's got to have the balls to give these guys the 5 years. hasn't happened yet.

    One or more of the key analytics may be the one(s) that gauge progress. Definitely do not want to use W/L in the short term, but also don't want to sit in ignorance for the full five...

    I bet this year will be a mirror image of last year. Last year some of the fans had high expectations, but way overestimated the talent on the team and were surprised by just how bad the team was.

    This year some of us think we're going to be Godawful because of the lack of talent on the team, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Browns overachieved and chased an 8-8 season.

    Somewhere in that statement is the makings of a classic oxymoron...

    Remotely possible. Probably not.

    While I pretty much expected this and kind of understand the purge, without signing any FA's, the #'s are starting to trouble me......a quick count has about 8 starters and 11 regulars gone, but only 1 starter type player signed.....sooooo, how do we come up with 11 starter quality players from a single draft???....are all the second stringers(who couldnt start on a 3-13 team) suddenly gonna blossom?....or is Shashi gonna pick 11 good players in his first draft?......

    and if we are cutting decent players with high salaries(whitner, dansby)......why not cut the shitty players with high salaries too?(Kruger, Mingo)??

    Well, they do have players on their depth chart.....so all those players lost have been replaced....or at least their slots filled somehow:

    Note: Armonty Bryant still listed.

    Because when you are developing the Amazin' Mets of the NFL you first have to go through days of the "lovable losers". We need to do everything we can to draft Marvin Jones WR-California so we can have our own "Marvelous Marv" .
