Save these articles for December 2009. PLEASE.

I agree...december 2009 will prove this xxxx is an idiot thats trapped in yesteryears mistakes..thats all im going to say is last year by 3 games in 90% of us thought the browns had the talent but lacked coaching/direction not to mention a rigged qb situation many of us didnt like....but before the horror of the season began nobody took into effect that the browns had absolutely no coaching to begin with including the so called pro's...its something we sometimes take for granted because the braintrust is always grinding the guys and spewing hellfire on gaining victory and discipline at any cost... right?

Romeo/savage should have taught us all a lesson about assuming the braintrust is sound and active and always pursuing the teams best interests on the field and off..especially randy lerner who lerned a hard bitter lesson and unlike his father obviously took it personally and brought in mankok in a way i loved to see.. coach first!

Aterall its the coaches ass in a sling from the getgo so let the man have fairly big say in whom he fields...period.

Enter the draft everyone wanted clay clay and or rey rey gimme gimme gimme big names..none of us know what to expect under a newly formed mankok regime...while im not against big names at all and assumed mankok would wrongfully go defensive i called for WRs and a C in my signature at the time some may recall realizing we have plenty of talent on defense and yes even an insane pass rush under a valid coach ,proper training by assistants and a smart scheme and obviously mangini did his homework and figures the same to add joy to happy mankok has since even greatly improved on our qb rushing ability but some cant see that just yet but they will come live season..

To sum this rant/rave up i will say in short...mankok made the right choices of draft under the circumstances and is improving this club by the minute i am more hopeful now then i have ever been for the browns chances of taking it to the afc north under this regime...i believe randy brought us the right guys to build a permenant foundation this club has lacked since 1996...for once in a blue moon im pumped for the upcoming season!

Listen, anybody with a football mind can look at the moves this organization has made and say "they look pretty good"

We upgraded our center. Fraley was getting tossed around like a rag doll against the top tier competition last year.

We needed help at WR, and while Massaquo (sp?) might be a big ? I think we can all agree that Robo is the most polished receiver in the draft and should help us immediatly.

Could we all be wrong? Sure we can, and I don't think anybody has popped the cork on the champagne yet, but I think the general feel of the direction we are moving towards is a good thing. Time will ultimately tell if that's the case.

Respectfully... what is different about your thinking May 09 opposed to May 08, opposed May 07. opposed to May 06?

From what I read over those years, everyone had this same thought, just different player names.

I'm not being negative, just wondering if you felt this way in previous years. It seems like most here did.
