Patriots Fallout

The Browns Board

  • Call me crazy, but Tony Romo hinted it and I’ve felt the same way. Josh McDaniels is a northeast Ohio guy, went to John Carroll. He’s been interested in coaching the Browns for years, we just never gave him an interview. Now we are, and according to sources the Haslams want him, so the job is his if he wants it. 

    You heard Romo, Brady isn’t done. But he’s done with the Patriots, and is an unrestricted free agent. What did Tony Romo day? He needs help... Hmmm two 1,000 yard receivers and two Top 5 running backs sounds like help to me.

    McDaniels wanted Baker in the draft. In fact, he was lobbying to trade up to #2 in the 2018 draft if we didn’t take Baker. His offense is complex though, and Baker needs to mature.

    In comes Tom Brady for one more year with McDaniels, while Baker learns the offense.

    Call me crazy, just watch.

  • lol

    Poor Tom.  If that were ever to happen.

  • I don't think the Brady to Browns, Baker to bench situation would work. 

    Brady certainly has nothing to prove....he doesn't need to get into that quagmire.  He won't be a backup....nor do I think he wants to be a coach.  Not his lifestyle. 

    He has homes in Montana and in Costa Rica.    He is trying to sell his place in Boston area, and is looking for something in NYC suburbs.   He is from, essentially, the Bay area, California.  I doubt he wants to spend a couple...or 1 year in Cleveland.  His wife will not want to. 

    Baker would likely go apeshit.

    Who cares what Baker would do. But I agree, no way Brady ever sets foot in Cleveland.

  • Didn't like my thread title?     Patriot Fallout....hmm.   Fair enough.  

    I have heard of Nuclear Fallout.....and Bird fallout  (you all can look that one up)....but OK, I guess we can say we have all suffered Browns Fallout over and over again.

    If you don't think that people would  care about how Baker would feel.....you must have had your head where the sun don't shine for the last two years.  ....Why don't you revise your comment to "I don't care what Baker would do".....since you would be a singularity.

    Seriously though, why would anyone care what Baker thinks? Nobody is bigger than the team. Baker has arm talent but I think he doesn't have what's between the ears to make it as an elite NFL QB. He is an interception machine and seems to be regressing. Next season will be make or break for him.

  • Patriots Aufed.    Tom Brady a free agent...  could he return?   Could the  Offensive brain trust of the Pats for almost the last 20 years be a done deal?   Brady/McDaniels?   

    Stay tuned.

    Happy days here Gipper. Watching that game brought up some memories...  Except for some fluke plays the Browns should have beaten the Patriots. Henry ran all over them. Chubb was on track to do the same, except he got stripped on the big run. Then a "self fumble" having our OL kick the ball out of his hands. Baker does the hand off to New England. Game over. The Patriots aren't good enough anymore to beat a team playing error free football with a solid running game. 

    Tom is as good as his offensive line- which is still incredible in pass protection. And a mighty good reason why he's not coming to Cleveland. Nah- I think Brady will stay in New England as long as he thinks he still want to play. Bob "Tom is like a son to me" Kraft will make sure of it.

    Okay, you're crazy. McDaniels is less than nothing without Belicheat and his cameras, and also is a piece of crap who bailed on the Colts - luckily for them - after accepting their HC job. Who would want him besides two of the dumbest owners in the league, Jim 'pills are my life' Irsay and Jim 'felony fraud, steelers #1 fan' Haslam. 

    Also, why would anyone want a washed-up 43 year old QB who's only played in one place with one system for one coach his entire career? If he leaves NE, where he sucked this year, it's not going to go well for him.

    It won't matter if Brady leaves and McDaniels gets hired by some moron to HC. As long as NE has Belicrap and their film crew they'll win lots of games.

    Lemme ask you something, how many Super Bowls has Belichick won without McDaniels? The answer is 0.

    Not saying McDaniels is the sole reason, but to assert that’s Belichick is the reason for McDaniels success as an OC is factually incorrect and ridiculous. Not to mention, Belichick is a defensive coach and McDaniels has full control of the offense.

    A 43 year old QB who clearly is still good. This year he threw for 4,000 yards, 24 TDs and 8 INTs. Yeah, he sucks. He’s played for one system, and he’s most likely going to follow that system (McDaniels) wherever he goes for one more year.

    This statement is almost too stupid to warrant a response, but I will indulge you: 

    He is the starting Quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.  That alone means people care what he thinks. 

    Your better question is:  Why would anyone care what I (Neo) think about Baker Mayfield?   And NOW would be the time for the response:  No one does.

    I could surmise that without Brady,   BB would be basically the same coach that he was in Cleveland.   Playoff contender (at least occasionally)...not championship caliber.

    Are you sure?   Those wins in 2001, 2002?  Seems that McDaniels may have been way too young then.  I will check.....   OK...not true.  Charlie Weis was OC then....don't see McD on the staff:

    Front office

    Head coaches

    Offensive coaches

    Defensive coaches

    Special teams coaches

    Strength and conditioning

    COMMENTARY

    Five takeaways from the Patriots’ 20-13, season-ending — and perhaps dynasty-destroying — loss to the Titans in the AFC wild card round …

     

    THIS WAS A FLAWED SQUAD ALL ALONG

    This might’ve seemed impossible when they were 8-0.

    Heck, it still might’ve seemed impossible a week ago, when all they needed for a ticket to the divisional round was to beat the last-place Dolphins.
    But in the end, the perception was not in fact the reality. These Patriots were never as good as their record or the expectations told us they were supposed to be.

    It became apparent enough over time that the end should not ultimately be all that surprising........ continued in the link......

  • McDaniels WAS on the staff in 2002:

    Head Coaches

    Offensive Coaches

       

    Defensive Coaches

    Special Teams Coaches

    Strength and Conditioning

    But, as "coaching assistant".   Is that like coffee fetcher/waterboy?  I think it is because I do see that in 2001, McDaniels was not on the coaching staff...but was BBs "personal assistant".  

    He did become the QB coach for the 2004 season.
