Tashaun Gipson Hopes to "Hang 40" on Browns
-
I hope you didn't type that with a straight face. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/tashaun-gipson/7288
Doesn't exactly hurt Gip and his 82.5 to be playing next to Barry Church (84.9) does it? Not to mention between Ramsey (90.7) and Bouye (88.7)... and their DL and LBs...
FYI... Kindred grades out at 78.5... a/k/a in the ball park.
Peppers? In the parking lot... but we all know he's playing out of position out of necessity.
Then there's McCourty who bests the lot of them at 92.5. BBC? Very respectable 83.0.
Taylor? Parking lot as well... but closer to the stadium.

The claim was Gipson is no better than what is currently on the Browns roster which is silly.
BTW, Kindred is a SS while Gip is a FS. So it's not really an apples to apples comparison.

So y'all would have Jimmy stay incredibly under the cap and make more money instead of keeping a decent FS? Jesus. Dude was young and good, Sashi Brown's job is to make Jimmy a team to win for as cheap as possible, which is why we didn't resign him. It doesn't differ much from letting T.J. Ward go without even offering anything. We continue to develop players and then let them play somewhere else. Like Mudfly said awhile back, We cut a bunch of vets and people who were skilled and replaced them with basically infants who are inept. Sure, some of them will be decent, but will we ever get a playoff team without spending the Cap? And please don't say we're going to spend a lot of Cap this offseason and we've been waiting for the third offseason, because until we do it I don't believe it. In fact, I bet we'd let Josh Gordon walk even if he has a great end of the season just to save Jimmy money.
A large deal of the process has to do with saving JIMMY MONEY, if you want to argue against that, show me the proof.

THIS is the single issue that annoys me (and Mudfly) the most.
Its difficult enough to draft a good or even competent player, and when we do, they hit the end of their rookie contract and walk.
It boils down to the almighty dollar, the Browns are proving to be one of the cheapest organizations in the NFL...and it shows on the field.

1) No cherrypicking. Either PFF grades are used to evaluate EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING - or they're never used anywhere. Yes, this does include the overall evaluation of FO.
2) Even with PFF grades being used, the question isn't simply raw grade -- the question is the ratio of (dollars spent/performance).. eg, the marginal cost per point of skill.

I have better metric than PFF...it’s 1-24.

definitely bro. I'm down with the process and the rebuilding, but at some point we have to bring FA talent here. Would we bring a Kirk Cousins, Julio Jones, or any big offensive playmakers here. I'm not talking WR2's but Kenny Britt, but hell even Jarvis Landry would be nice. It would be nice to see the Browns load up on depth and get some WR's that aren't UDFA's or late round picks.

spending more money usually results in getting better players. or you can keep ricardo louis and bryce treggs and go 1-24.

Yep, notice how we went from a 3-5 wins a season to the debacle we have now?
I guess you get what you pay for...freakin sad.

I think many of us weren't happy when they let him walk. I wasn't happy when they TJ Ward go either. 1 outta 2 ain't bad.
When TJ left then Gipson. It was over. Whitner wasn't much of a replacement.

This business of provide a winner as cheaply as possible is truly bullschidt. I think FIRST you provide a winner................THEN work on your economy. Where was it stated that Sashi's job is to provide a winner as cheaply as possible? That's just a screwed up concept. If that premise is true, then Sashi can never be called into question or fired because as long as he is way under the cap he can say '"being under the cap is part of my job responsibility".
I have to be honest with you, the entire culture of this team is way off the scale fahking weird. We talk about schidt that not one of the other 31 teams talk about. They talk about TDs, wins, playoffs, and we talk about theoretical, euphemistic bullschidt that you have to believe on face value because there are no statistics of numbers to support it. " Oh, the team isn't winning, but that isn't what we are doing here, you have to see deeper to understand that while we look like schidt.......there is a lot going on.
Sorry man, but it's horse schidt.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
Sashi let him walk after being promoted from lawyer to beyond his competence level.
But...why? Was it just over a bit of money?
How much is Jax paying him?
He fit the profile of the kind of guy they would want. He was still very young.
Or was it just that he "wasn't our guy"......and/or over a piddling amount of money?

It's hard to pin down the exact reason from where we're sitting.
I think it was many factors at that point in time. 1) Gipson was gimpy at the time. 2) He wanted money because he was a pro bowler. 3) The new regime (FO & coaches) had no history with him. 4) The FO was kind of Socky. Know it alls that figured, "We sucked with you. How much worse could we possibly be without you?" - That is a sentiment that I heard on another board....and I immediately fired back that, "It could DEFINITELY be worse!"
-
While I agree with Gipson on his take of the Browns FO, I hope the Browns lay a fukkin beat down on the Jags.

It wasn't stated, it's just my observations and opinion. Moneyball was arguably about finding undervalued talent. I can't fathom gutting everyone like we did and sucking for draft picks, it's just too weird now. People think it's all Sashi's process, and Depo's process, but what they're really not thinking of is that it's been Jimmy's process all along, who you could argue is a bufoon, and doesn't even have a clue how to put a winner on the field. If Jimmy cared about his fans, he'd try harder to win. You're going to tell me that Jimmy's F.O. tell him to spend so little money on the cap every year? I think that comes from Jimmy himself. You might think my hypothesis is cowpoop, but just wait and see if we resign gordon or let him walk. that will tell us if i'm full of s#$% or if i'm onto Haslam's bullshittery an ineptitude.
And don't forget, Pettine had a TON of lack of talent too and had to give all of those pressers as the Browns lost his second year. Jimmy is a Jerry Jones wannabe without a brain.

Semi-silly perhaps... but just proves the naysyaers don't have a monopoly on hyperbole...
Peppers was also in my analysis, but then he's not really a FS either... is he?
And then there's the whole issue of Gip being worth his contract... an issue you deftly avoided.

Here's a thought... actually make your case then I'll tear it apart. I'll even give you a peek at my counter...
- Collins...
- Zeitler...
- Osweiler...
As for Tashaun "Dude was young and good" Gipson... yes, he was. He was also badly injured and has never been the same, but he wanted to be paid for what he was pre-injury. ust another in a long line of players whose value we nailed.
If we did what you (and Mud) wanted, we'd be in cap hell before we ever got playoff competitive... and all in the name of a few, meaningless wins.
spending more money usually results in getting better players. or you can keep ricardo louis and bryce treggs and go 1-24.
Two words... Albert Haynesworth...
Need more? Dwayne Bowe...
