But once the trade was made, the Browns  devalued their asset (QB) by mentioning his name as an afterthought and immediately talking about trading or cutting him. Dumb move. Stupid. Even if that's their intention, don't let the world see your cards! What they should have done is embrace him, promote his skills, talk about how it doesn't prevent you from signing, trading or drafting a QB, but BO is a huge upgrade (over RG3) and in the hands of HJ, he could vastly improve his performance over last year. That's what the Patriots are doing with Garopolo. That's how they leverage their asssets in possible trade negotiations. In the NFL, no team wants to buy something that another team is talking about cutting. </p>

<p>I'm still wondering if this F.O. know what their doing. At this point, with the BO trade, the loss of TP and Mitch Swartz and Gabriel last year, I'm very disappointed.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/46237/why-hasn-t-this-team-embraced-osweiler</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:42:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/46237.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sun, 12 Mar 2017 16:46:00 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Why hasn't this team embraced Osweiler? on Mon, 24 Apr 2017 22:54:08 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/the-gipper" aria-label="Profile: the-gipper">@<bdi>the-gipper</bdi></a> <a href="/post/701233">said</a>:</p><div><p><span style="color:#800000">The smoke that went up your ass was so thick it turned into a stick.  <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61b.png?v=75b6de7bacf" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--stuck_out_tongue" title=":stuck_out_tongue:" alt="😛" /></span><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"> </span></p></div></blockquote>

<p>Gips, the answer is in what you cut and pasted.  But I'll provide some detail.</p>

<p>After a very impressive preseason here as a WR in 2015, Pryor was cut right before the end of training camp. All 32 NFL teams left him unemployed for about 3 months until Cleveland re-signed him so late in the season that the coaching staff was too uncomfortable to start him.  The next coaching staff started him in 2016.</p>

<p>...most talked about?.....pretending otherwise? I thought you said he had an<em> impressive preseason</em>.....my mistake.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">I didn</span><span style="color:#ff0000">'t realize we were trying out for the high school debate team.  Training Camp and preseason are often used interchangeably but not on your watch especially if it's at the expense of the last regime.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000080">We werent....I was implying that he didnt do anything in camp or preseason....simple....</span></p>

<p>I remember Josh Lenz being everybodies boy from that camp and Pryor having a hamstring injury the entire time....but I might be wrong(dont think so)</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">A few guys liked Lens and were disappointed when he got cut while a lot more in here seemed disappointed at Pryor getting cut.  Most of the buzz and aw I read about from our fans and on www.clevelandbrowns.com was about Pryor in the 2015 training camp.  He did pull his hammy but that regime cut the upsides of Pryor and Lenz and kept a 12 million $ bum the coaching staff never had any intentions of playing.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>Washington wasnt more generous....thats the point....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">So who looked like the epic dumbass when the entire league showed him zero interest beside the Redskins who were losing most of their WR Corps?   So when Washington says we think so much of you we'll pay you less than Cleveland wants to - you and Pryor think that was a compliment?  God bless ya!  Again, we competed with nobody to re-sign him late in 2015.  He then started for Hue as a WR in a career saving niche gaining comfort and momentum in 2016 until...  After just 1 year, for less money, he said <em>"Fuck Hue"</em> and Sashi said  <em>"No, Fuck You!" </em>  Sashi looked like the one that went to Harvard in that one.- Flugel</span></p>

<p>And Im not sure <em>anyone</em> has said todays QB situation wasnt the fault of the 2014 staff......though I see you screaming to give this FO a waiver for year one, while you continue to batter ram Farmer for his year one....seems you're preaching the opposite of what you're implying....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">Touche.  You mean like you only screaming about Gabriel getting cut in 2016 after his volume of 1 TD reception in 2 years inclusive of his receptions dropping down to 28 for 8.6 ypc in 2015. His yardage also dropped from 579 in 2014 to 241 in 2015 showing a lack of progress under the previous regime's second OC?  I see why he wanted to go back to the same Kyle Shanahan that your idol Ray Farmer chased out of here.  Only the new version had a Julio Jones stealing all of the safety attention while having a franchise QB in an MVP season didn't hurt that. - Flugel</span></p>

<p>Besides.....Haslam picked Johnny.....we all know it....Pettine finally said it....so, to me, that is 99.9% fact.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">So, Ray Farmer clarifying he was all in on selecting Johnny tells me what about his integrity that that cell phone calls down to the sideline didn't already slam dunk?   Oh wait, you excuse those kiddy games but nothing in 2016 would be tolerated under your watch.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>And...even with the complete bust 1st round.....and only 6 picks overall....we still have 2 all-pro level players from that limited draft....So, just to be on par with that, we should expect 4 comparable players from last years draft(just to be equal).....and 5 comparable players to be one pick better.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">Who was an All Pro?  I missed both of them?  Farmer had 4 first round picks and 2 of them are out of the NFL already while the other is Cam Erving.  I thought you belly ached about needing more impact in round 1?   That only pertains to 2016?  Ooops, not so fast, today I read you're okay with playing Russian Roulette with #12 overall if it's a guy coming off shoulder surgery who also got kicked out of the combines and failed a drug test?  Yeah, we could really use that 12th overall draft pick for the purpose of keeping Josh Gordon company in suspension. Who would be the first guy in here to to blast this FO if any/all those red flags continued? - Flugel </span></p>

<p>Looking forward to that....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">You're the one that's all about the day 1 impact so I count Johnny Manziel + Justin Gilbert as unemployed while Cam Erving won't be starting at best.  Thank God someone got a draft pick from Pittsburgh for Gilbert. Now imagine if we only evaluated Shelton for his rookie year like you want to do with last year's draft class - we'd have to prematurely conclude we whiffed (which isn't the case at all if we look at his soph year).  See why allowing a second season of evaluation can matter in some cases?  I'll be rooting for both Colemans, Higgins, DeValve, Ogbah and possibly even Kessler and others to build on their experience while you are apparently telling me you are looking forward to our 2016 draft class doing worse than our 2014 class?  You've cornered yourself into great expectations here.  Enjoy...  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>...most talked about?.....pretending otherwise? I thought you said he had an<em> impressive preseason</em>.....my mistake.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">I didn</span><span style="color:#ff0000">'t realize we were trying out for the high school debate team.  Training Camp and preseason are often used interchangeably but not on your watch especially if it's at the expense of the last regime.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>I remember Josh Lenz being everybodies boy from that camp and Pryor having a hamstring injury the entire time....but I might be wrong(dont think so)</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">A few guys liked Lens and were disappointed when he got cut while a lot more in here seemed disappointed at Pryor getting cut.  Most of the buzz and aw I read about from our fans and on www.clevelandbrowns.com was about Pryor in the 2015 training camp.  He did pull his hammy but that regime cut the upsides of Pryor and Lenz and kept a 12 million $ bum the coaching staff never had any intentions of playing.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>Washington wasnt more generous....thats the point....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">So who looked like the epic dumbass when the entire league showed him zero interest beside the Redskins who were losing most of their WR Corps?   So when Washington says we think so much of you we'll pay you less than Cleveland wants to - you and Pryor think that was a compliment?  God bless ya!  Again, we competed with nobody to re-sign him late in 2015.  He then started for Hue as a WR in a career saving niche gaining comfort and momentum in 2016 until...  After just 1 year, for less money, he said <em>"Fuck Hue"</em> and Sashi said  <em>"No, Fuck You!" </em>  Sashi looked like the one that went to Harvard in that one.- Flugel</span></p>

<p>And Im not sure <em>anyone</em> has said todays QB situation wasnt the fault of the 2014 staff......though I see you screaming to give this FO a waiver for year one, while you continue to batter ram Farmer for his year one....seems you're preaching the opposite of what you're implying....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">Touche.  You mean like you only screaming about Gabriel getting cut in 2016 after his volume of 1 TD reception in 2 years inclusive of his receptions dropping down to 28 for 8.6 ypc in 2015. His yardage also dropped from 579 in 2014 to 241 in 2015 showing a lack of progress under the previous regime's second OC?  I see why he wanted to go back to the same Kyle Shanahan that your idol Ray Farmer chased out of here.  Only the new version had a Julio Jones stealing all of the safety attention while having a franchise QB in an MVP season didn't hurt that. - Flugel</span></p>

<p>Besides.....Haslam picked Johnny.....we all know it....Pettine finally said it....so, to me, that is 99.9% fact.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">So, Ray Farmer clarifying he was all in on selecting Johnny tells me what about his integrity that that cell phone calls down to the sideline didn't already slam dunk?   Oh wait, you excuse those kiddy games but nothing in 2016 would be tolerated under your watch.  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>And...even with the complete bust 1st round.....and only 6 picks overall....we still have 2 all-pro level players from that limited draft....So, just to be on par with that, we should expect 4 comparable players from last years draft(just to be equal).....and 5 comparable players to be one pick better.....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">Who was an All Pro?  I missed both of them?  Farmer had 4 first round picks and 2 of them are out of the NFL already while the other is Cam Erving.  I thought you belly ached about needing more impact in round 1?   That only pertains to 2016?  Ooops, not so fast, today I read you're okay with playing Russian Roulette with #12 overall if it's a guy coming off shoulder surgery who also got kicked out of the combines and failed a drug test?  Yeah, we could really use that 12th overall draft pick for the purpose of keeping Josh Gordon company in suspension. Who would be the first guy in here to to blast this FO if any/all those red flags continued? - Flugel </span></p>

<p>Looking forward to that....</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000">You're the one that's all about the day 1 impact so I count Johnny Manziel + Justin Gilbert as unemployed while Cam Erving won't be starting at best.  Thank God someone got a draft pick from Pittsburgh for Gilbert. Now imagine if we only evaluated Shelton for his rookie year like you want to do with last year's draft class - we'd have to prematurely conclude we whiffed (which isn't the case at all if we look at his soph year).  See why allowing a second season of evaluation can matter in some cases?  I'll be rooting for both Colemans, Higgins, DeValve, Ogbah and possibly even Kessler and others to build on their experience while you are apparently telling me you are looking forward to our 2016 draft class doing worse than our 2014 class?  You've cornered yourself into great expectations here.  Enjoy...  - Flugel</span></p>

<p>I don't think you can support that. Everything I've read and heard said Pryor wanted a payday... now... and any multi-year deal had to include that payday. Clearly ours did not...</p>

<p>The one-year deal in WSH came when TP/Drew realized their dream payday wasn't happening in 2017. Therefore the next best thing, given that interested teams were down to one, was the one-year with a team where again he is shaping up to be the guy, the #1 by default, if not merit.</p>

<p>I seriously doubt TP would have signed a one-year with us, before we signed Britt, which was before they'd fully gauged the market.</p>

<p>And again, after Britt... superfluous...

<p>IIRC TP signed for less than our offer, but ours was a multi-year, very similar to what Britt inked.</p>

<p>Also heard that initially WSH's offer was very close to ours, but he signed a one-year deal for less money. Basically he is betting on himself to show 2016 was not only not a fluke, but that he is still improving as a WR and his BIG payday will come in the next FA cycle. Can't really blame him for that...</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/700560</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/700560</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tour2ma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:25:35 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Why hasn't this team embraced Osweiler? on Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:33:39 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/flugel" aria-label="Profile: flugel">@<bdi>flugel</bdi></a> <a href="/post/700539">said</a>:</p><div>

<p>I never did hear how much more generous Washington was to Pryor than Cleveland in all this. </p>

<p>It's 1 thing to be disappointed and frustrated with where we were in 2016.  To sit here and pretend 100% of all the inherited land mines, veterans wanting out and bare cupboards is entirely the new regime's fault with only 1 offseason/draft/FA period to their name is narrow minded.  If you read some guys, they act like this FO hasn't made 1 good move.</p>

<p>A draft cannot be fully/accurately evaluated for about 3 years especially when a lot of the picks were in mid-late rounds.  Have we seen the best of Shon Coleman yet?  The other Coleman played his best game scoring 2 TDs before he broke his hand and missed the next 6 games before returning to different temporary starting QB. </p>

<p>Some guys are crying like Sashi is pulling their teeth out without novocaine.  If they really looked though - the year divine intervention put Khalil Mack (elite edge rusher) and Derek Carr (QB in round 2) on our door step was in 2014.  But don't anyone dare to call that regime out under any circumstances on their watch...  Think of where we'd be with this draft at this point if we had ANYONE that knew what they were doing in 2014...  And for all the temper tantrums about the departures of Schwartz and Mack - they might have actually had a rationale telling them to stay if they didn't witness such an epic round 1 failure perpetuating their sense of needing greener pastures elsewhere.  But why recognize everything when we can just blame Sashi for all the things Schwartz and Mack got sick of here.  This would have been Mack's 4th FO (Holmgren,Banner,Farmer,Brown) and Schwartz's 3rd so there's way more to this stuff than some are choosing to emphasize. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/700553</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/700553</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flugel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:52:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Why hasn't this team embraced Osweiler? on Sat, 22 Apr 2017 13:57:38 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/mudfly" aria-label="Profile: mudfly">@<bdi>mudfly</bdi></a> <a href="/post/700527">said</a>:</p><p>...then, once he looked like he might have some game, they let him slide away</p></blockquote>

<p>I wasn't talking about 2014 when he only wanted to play QB in a league that stopped seeing him as a QB.  I was talking about 2015 when he realized the only future he had was at WR.</p>

<p>On this board, the most talked about WR in Training Camp in 2015 was Pryor.  Do you really need to pretend otherwise?  He had a great camp before he got cut as a WR. </p>

<p>And while I have you wearing your battle armor for the previous regime again - who did we need to make room for when we cut Pryor?  The 12 million $ man (Dwayne Bowe) who caught 5 passes for 53 yards in 2015.  I know, they only started making mistakes at the WR position in 2016.  You've covered that a bunch of times.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/700539</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/700539</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flugel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:18:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Why hasn't this team embraced Osweiler? on Sat, 22 Apr 2017 13:29:39 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/flugel" aria-label="Profile: flugel">@<bdi>flugel</bdi></a> <a href="/post/700513">said</a>:</p><div>
