DBN's description of the McCarron last-minute work show that Cleveland DID THEIR JOB RIGHT and that indeed it was Cincy's FO who didn't properly forward Cleveland's paperwork to the NFL.
My guess is that the Browns and Bengals agreed on the steps they'd do ["I'll send you this, you sign& forward it on, OK? Great! [hangup]] .. and then the Bengals immediately did something different. They didn't forward ANYTHING browns-related! Cin just sent in their own signed papers, didn't include anything from Cleveland in what they sent to NFL.
So.... just as I said the day it happened, it was a process issue and not a "kill them all with fire" situation.
I'm sure now that each and every person who was immediately certain that "Everyone in Browns FO should be fired" will change their minds and realize the objectively false belief they selected..
Or not!

F*ck the Browns. Because of 18 years of garbage, we're now reduced to arguing the merits of keeping Brock Osweiller and trading multiple draft picks for a QB that can't beat out Andy Dalton.
For today, yes. Neither option any good, to be sure.
We could argue about other things....like:
A. Should they sign Kaepernick
B. Should they draft another QB high next year, and if so, who?
C. Should the coach be fired?
D. Should the FO be fired?
E. If C. or D. happen who do you get to replace them?
F. Will the team be better with two WRs we have had missing back in the fold: Coleman and Gordon
G. Can the defense stop the pass? They have had massive failures in this regard.
H. Can our #1 overall draft pick avoid falling over his shoelaces and not be injured constantly?
And that is what I can just think of quickly off the top of my head. So, no, we are not reduced to just talking about what you mentioned......we have a whole array of subjects to discuss....all of which have a similar theme: How fuyucked up is this team?
For today, yes. Neither option any good, to be sure.
We could argue about other things....like:
A. Should they sign Kaepernick NO & HELL NO.
B. Should they draft another QB high next year, and if so, who? YES, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T PLAY FOR ND
C. Should the coach be fired? MAYBE
D. Should the FO be fired? YES
E. If C. or D. happen who do you get to replace them? MY CAT
F. Will the team be better with two WRs we have had missing back in the fold: Coleman and Gordon YES
G. Can the defense stop the pass? They have had massive failures in this regard. NO
H. Can our #1 overall draft pick avoid falling over his shoelaces and not be injured constantly? TBD
And that is what I can just think of quickly off the top of my head. So, no, we are not reduced to just talking about what you mentioned......we have a whole array of subjects to discuss....all of which have a similar theme: How fuyucked up is this team?

DBN's description of the McCarron last-minute work show that Cleveland DID THEIR JOB RIGHT and that indeed it was Cincy's FO who didn't properly forward Cleveland's paperwork to the NFL.
My guess is that the Browns and Bengals agreed on the steps they'd do ["I'll send you this, you sign& forward it on, OK? Great! [hangup]] .. and then the Bengals immediately did something different. They didn't forward ANYTHING browns-related! Cin just sent in their own signed papers, didn't include anything from Cleveland in what they sent to NFL.
So.... just as I said the day it happened, it was a process issue and not a "kill them all with fire" situation.
I'm sure now that each and every person who was immediately certain that "Everyone in Browns FO should be fired" will change their minds and realize the objectively false belief they selected..

I don't believe this is accurate.
Why would one team and one team only be responsible for forwarding both teams' paperwork to the league? Seems that it would make more sense that they both send their own paperwork in and the league determines that both sides have agreed to the same parameters.

Here's the biggest problem with the botched trade: We didn't get Garoppolo. Forget McCarron, the trade reminds us that we tried to pay MORE for a player who is widely considered the lesser talent, and not just a little more...a LOT more. The 49's only used a 2nd rounder and we offered a 2nd AND a 3rd? Why? Why didn't we offer THAT deal for Garoppolo? Are you telling me that the Patriots, a team we've traded with before AND a team that absolutely covets picks, wouldn't take an additional 3rd round pick?! So the biggest issue isn't that we didn't get McCarron, it's that we weren't even in the MIX for Garoppolo. A QB that Hue Jackson PUBLICLY stated he wanted.
And here's the other reason it absolutely kills us: Not getting either QB robbed us of ANY hope. Imagine this for a second...just a second. A team with Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Gordon, Corey Coleman, Crowell, Duke Johnson, David Njoku, Devalve. Not only THAT, but our offense could've COMPLETELY transformed by just giving up ONE pick...a second rounder! Do you have any idea how insane that is? Josh Gordon is an actual #1 WR, and I've always said Corey Coleman is a #2. With Gordon actually commanding respect, Coleman will benefit. The top can come off a defense. That opens up the middle of the field for our talented tight ends! Do you see the ripple effect? And if we actually had Garoppolo, we'd have someone who could ACTUALLY attack the middle! Someone who can find his butt cheeks with both hands on the red zone. Someone who doesn't look lost when we need a play deep in scoring territory. We could've changed EVERYTHING. We could've changed the team enough to keep Hue Jackson so we wouldn't have to blow it all up again.
Now look, I'm not dumb enough to expect much from Josh Gordon. I know he'll let us down more than likely, but right now he's on our team. Right now I can say he's in the league. I don't know how much longer I can say that...but right now we have a #1 WR, regardless of how long he's been out, and he's playing for his life. Believe it or not, I'm not worried about Josh THIS year. No, I'm worried about him over the offseason. When he's by himself...away from the team.
We could've had a new team. We SHOULD'VE had a new team. But once again the fans are left with nothing. We are left with Kizer who doesn't score touchdowns. Who can't throw a touchdown. Who is proving to be the worst qb in the league.

And if they wanted to do it differently, that's fine too. Point is... Per current league definitions, all teams have agreed that there is NO paperwork standard. So on each trade both sides have to determine BOTH the paperwork sequence in addition to the deal.
Teams agreed, and the Bengals didn't do what they had just agreed to do. That's a very different issue than debating whether the process is optimal or not.

BS.
If McCarron is your only hope, then you're already gone. We already tried to get JG and were rejected.. i doubt anyone had any idea the 2 was all it would take.

So....you are saying that there was a conspiracy.....but it was not perpetrated by the Browns FO who basically objected to the trade and sabotaged it......but it was by the Bengals FO...who really didn't want to make the trade, and ergo it was they who committed the sabotage?
Possible. Because, FYI....in their history the Browns and Bengals have NEVER made a single trade.....due to Mike Brown's attitude. I wonder if that still held over for this first time deal that was attempted?

And Jimmy is easily convinced because none of the fans believe either.
If we were all of one backbone, he wouldn’t be trusting his HC over his GM on trades. Ridiculous
You're gonna ride this all the way aren't you? And when changes are inevitably made....... BECAUSE THE TEAM CAN'T WIN A SINGLE PHUCKING GAME, then all we will hear from you is how it's all our faults that the poor beleaguered Brain Trust unjustly got run out of town by the big, bad, mean ol' fans and had absolutely nothing to do with their on field performance.
Too bad the NFL doesn't hand out participation trophies so our Brain Trust won't get their feelings hurt so much after they see the score board at the end of every game...... and God forbid that they look at the standings, as that would surely send them to their happy place along with their emotional support kitty cat.
Hey Jimmy, since you're reading all these posts.......................... F U C K O F F!

My theory is Hue convinced Jimmy the process isn't working and a lawyer and baseball guy can't make draft picks.
That’s my concern rather than theory, the quotes are out there from Jimmeh that the 2018 season was the one they were looking at back when they blew it up in 2016.
And here we are halfway through 2017 and everything suggests he wanted to throw away two draft picks over the front offices heads before we’ve even had the bye weekend.
IF it’s the case he’s already backing off the original plan and meddling once again in team affairs then the Browns have no chance while he is owner. Nothing good will ever happen here under Haslam.
First... Pluck Jimmy G...
Second... I liked AJ as much as anyone here coming out of Bama, but a 2plus a 3 was too much.
Other random thoughts....
- So Sashi did his job, sent the paperwork to Cincinnati to sign and forward,and then went home? And It's his fault?
- Ever cross anyone else's mind that Cin was messing with Hue?
- Ever occur to anyone that Hue told the FO that he could win with Kess? Then Kizer? That now Hue is panicking?

Yup... That is the worst scenario by far...
But as for London Bridge... I bought that whilst in your town... In McD's right after we exchanged items. So quit trying to peddle it.

His job is to make sure the trade is finalized.

All we had to do was Cc the league on the email to the Bengals. The paperwork doesn't have to be submitted right at that moment. The emails to the league, from each team, have to match in the details. And then when the paperwork is submitted by each team it needs to also match.
Like many, I'm glad we screwed up because I didn't want McCarron. (and it WAS US that screwed up...because....if you want something done right, do it yourself)

This is not dissimilar to when you tried to chastise everyone because somehow people saying meanie words on a message board was contributing to Justin Gilbert sucking. It turned out that he just sucked. Our undeserved praise would have done nothing. The fans weren’t creating the news, they were just reporting it. Sashi and Co are 1-23. I have a feeling he will follow Gilbert’s trajectory.

I'm still right. The vast majority of players we've had this decade prove me so. You found one guy to support your point. Congrats. You used to be better than this.

You are still right that if fans back or don’t back a player or coach that it will somehow determine their performance? Please show me where positive tweets or message board posts miraculously turned a player or coach’s career around. If a player couldn’t hack the scrutiny in Cleveland, they would hang them self if they ever played in NY or Philly.
I bet you believe that likes on social media will cure a kid’s cancer.

I wasn't aware of this.
I still believe that if the Browns were serious about this deal, they would have just sent in their own god damn paperwork.
But if the standard set in the NFL is no standard at all, well that opens up things up for blame all around.

Not getting either QB robbed us of ANY hope
BS.
If McCarron is your only hope, then you're already gone. We already tried to get JG and were rejected.. i doubt anyone had any idea the 2 was all it would take.

I never said he was my only hope. Our "only hope" for making offensive progress was to find a new qb.

It's been said that winning the deal is more important to this FO than winning games.

NO.
Of course Sashi objected, but after he was overruled I bet he did as he was told.. because this, of all times, was not worth losing his gig. So, the teams agreed to the trade and had to then agree on how to send the paperwork. However, the Bungles didn't execute what they had agreed on the call. It really shouldn't matter who precisely sends the email attachment with Berea signatures -- just tell them to look for someone from "@browns" or whatever.
Intent either way doesn't matter ------ this was all about the process of executing the trade. Browns have done a lot of trades recently -- objectively, they're experienced.
it makes sense Browns don't have a single person to call/email all items with signatures because that's too low-level for Sashi and they need coverage in case someone is sick/on vacation. So they would tell Bengals to look for an email from "our office" and not "from Jeff" or whoever. The fact that Bungles didn't understand this is....... their fault.

Oh god we've already forgotten what an ashole osweiler looked like against the practice squad guys. Nothing like looking fondly at late quarter preseason performances from a guy who was skipping balls off the turf on 15 yd wheel routes.
I still would have liked to see him in a real game. I mean, really....how much more suckitude could he have brought us than what we have had?
They kept Hogan instead of him? They could have stashed Hogan on the PS, give B.O. a tryout....and if is what we thought he was....we could have crowned/cut him. We would have been no worse off.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Well at least McCarron was excited to come here. Since he will be a FA (being contested by bungles) we should follow up after the season is over and sign him up without trading away draft picks. This article says he was glad he was getting his shot to start for an NFL team.
-
Browns are getting the you "screwed this trade treatment" but the Bengals tried to change the language in the contract!!! WTF?! The trade would have never happened anyway because the language in the paperwork didn't match up. Not to mention, Hue overpaid for Carson Palmer years ago and set the Oakland franchise back because of it. He tried to do it again with the Browns by undercutting the FO. Maybe Sashi did sabotage this deal, but in actuality, it was the best thing for this organization. That price was ridiculous. Not to mention, DEE HASLAM has ANY SAY in the Football operations is just Bull Sheet!! If there is one thing that has pissed me off from this season, that's it. Right there. DEE F*&*&^G Haslam has ANY say in how this team runs it's football operations, is absolute BS. I'm sorry. This has become a reality tv show because of the Haslam's, not the FO. Hire a football czar to overrule the damn Haslams, not the FO. Their inability to have any sort of patience is what keeps screwing this organization. It's going to happen again. The current FO told everyone their plan was to burn this thing to the ground and rebuild it in 3 years. They are 1.5 years into it. NO kidding they are not that good, because that was the plan. Everyone says they missed on draft picks. yes, and they told you that is why they want so damn many draft picks. So even if they play the percentages, the odds are they are going to get some players out of it. I would say, outside of passing on Wentz, they haven't really missed except on WR's. Just about everyone of their top picks has shown legitimate potential. But they are all rookies or 2nd year players. It takes time to develop. There is a reason you have to be 3 years removed from HS to play in the NFL. Bodies and Minds have to learn to adapt and that is where the browns are at right now. If Kizer goes out and lights it up, where is the band wagon going to line up? JG was never an option for the browns. There are numerous reports out now that have basically said BB was NEVER going to trade him inside the AFC and certainly not the Browns. The browns tried multiple times to get him both now and at the draft. Not to mention, the patriots are smart enough to know that if they really wanted the BEST VALUE, all they had to do was call the Browns. Does anyone really think that is what happened here? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The patriots got a second pick and shipped him out of the AFC on purpose.

You are still right that if fans back or don’t back a player or coach that it will somehow determine their performance? Please show me where positive tweets or message board posts miraculously turned a player or coach’s career around. If a player couldn’t hack the scrutiny in Cleveland, they would hang them self if they ever played in NY or Philly.
I bet you believe that likes on social media will cure a kid’s cancer.

This fanbase is NEVER positive, so how could i? I can, however, show you guy after guy after guy that drowned in negativity.
