Drafting the Mangini way

The Browns Board

  • Does anyone really believe that our Brownies are sooo stocked with talent and depth that Robiskie isn't even allowed to dress as a 2nd round pick? That is just ridiculous.

    Absalutely not. But would it do more harm to the rooks and team to put them in with this slop we have now? Probably. Rookies are only awesome in the video games. In real life you wait until they are ready. We are in no hurry. The season is a wash. Let them sit and get hungrier and put the min when the team is stable.

    Finally....logic! ty

    This is the guy whose going to continue to draft for us??? plz....NO

    Solon, you're out of your mind with anger and it's diluting your senses. You cannot just throw rookies in and hope for the best. You have to wait until they are ready, period. A great way to destroy a player's career is to put them in before they are ready and let them play alongside bad players. They will fail. They will pick up really bad habits. They will not develope. They will accept mediocrity as a symbol of success. It's just a bad move man. If you want to see these rookies so bad, wait until late in the year or buy some football cards. Oh wait, they aren't even in football card sets BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATTER.

    Yeah, throwing in rookies like Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez, and Peterson before they could develop on the bench absolutely ruined their careers. Robiskie needs to spend some QT on the bench watching our WRs drop balls and run the wrong routes before he can go out there and drop balls as bad as BE and run bad routes as bad as Cribbs. I'm not buying that shit for one minute.

    LOL. Sanchez hardly belong in that list, considering some questionable play, that he hasn't been brought up on yet.

    RE: Tannenbaum...

    You know FOR SURE that Mangini had control of all of the roster/draft decisions in NY? You must be an expert on the Jets, because you have very little clue as to what's going on here.

    I would have drafted John Elway in the first round and Walter Payton in round 2.

    Dude, the GM always gets the credit in the paper and so you know about as much as I do about who actually made the decisions in the war room. But we can both agree that no ONE person makes those calls. Come on guy. The coach is in on every GM meeting regarding personel. And has a very important say in what decisions are ultimately made. And let's say for argument's sake you're right and Mangini had no say in the personel in NY. None of us still have any indication that he blew this year's offseason for the Browns. You're taking an emotional position on this. Ya just need to relax and watch it all come together. Then, if this team ends up like RAC and Savages, we can all freak out. But already, he is taking a completely different approach. He's taking the one that we should have taken 10 years ago.
