I predict Bakers option does not get picked up and the Browns draft a qb next year

If I’m coaching the Browns? Stay the course. Pound the rock! Make the Colts stop the run. If the Colts stop the run? As in hunting in heavily pressured areas, you must have a backup plan that you have game planned for so that it is as seamless as breathing

I'm hardly drinking the kool aid. Show me.... But to say right out of the gate this is going to be a repeat 1-31? We haven't even gotten to free agency, the draft, and a regular season game has yet to be played, but you're so damn sure it's going to suck again? You apparently took lessons from  our banned Ravens troll or Ghoolie. 

Fuck the Ravens and fuck Ghoolie. In fact that offends me so fuck you too!

I propose to use this as a "Downer Zone" and so you guys could expand yourselves about your sorrows. 

Meanwhile the rest of us will comment on other threads. I'm not optimistic but guys are shouting fire long before we see a spark. 

Don't let the door hit ya in the azz

1) It's not going to be a "rebuild" Stefansky said there's plenty of talent on the team to work with. 

2) This was hardly a Power Play by Depodesta. Or did you forget Kitchens was Dorsey hand picked Head Coach, and failed miserably with the talent he was handed? Other way around- after massively screwing up on Freddie, Dorsey wanted a mulligan to pick the next Head Coach. Haslam told him you don't have final say this time. John picked up his football, and went home. And another reason Dorsey is gone "does not play well with others". My way, or the highway. John took to the highway. 

3) If you'd bother to listen to any of Depodesta's interviews, he's hardly an egomaniac. As much said the scouts know way more than he does about sparq and eveluating talent. All he's there for is to make sure those picks align with what everyone else in the room has in mind.  

You can drink the koolaid all ya want. I'm not buying. This story ended for me at 1-31. You same guys praising the analytics bs now are the same ones that praised it then. First time, shame on you second time..........get my drift?

Well all the "football guys" are gone, so let's see how the nerds do this time around.  ?

I read this book, saw the movie, know the ending. The names have changed, but the people are the same. Last time it ended 1-32. Any questions?

Well face it. The team is again in rebuild mode under a bunch of analytics guys with Depo and Berry being part of the previous fiasco before Dorsey came in and put some talent on the team.

If it's true that he crumpled up Depos analytics and tossed it in the trash, it just proves that old fashion legwork, scouting and filmwork are what finds talent. For the life of me, I didn't think Haslam was this stupid! Big time power play on Depos part.

He used Kitchens to get rid of Dorsey and hired his guys. All those interviews were a farce with never any intention to hire anyone else contradicting what Jimmuh told us when he fired Big John and Kitchens. Now we are stuck with a statistical baseball sparq guy running the organization. What a fucking joke!

He has little trade value, maybe they could get a 6th. 

But he has great sparq scores! Doesn't he? Isn't that the end all be all now?

Jimmy has made this organization look bad since he bought it

This is a minor blip compared to what Jimmy has done

I'm not gonna disagree with that. I'm a proponent for him selling the team. Haslam is an IDIOT!

The dope heads will make excuses for Hunt claiming it's a non story because it's a legal recreational drug in a lot of other states. Meanwhile Hunt has made the organization look bad. What did he do for the Browns last season? Nothing comes to mind does it? I'd package him in a trade. Hasta la vista

Anti analytics? I'm in........

About time this thread was launched...

Sure their D is still the strength of their team, but our O is a good scrimmage better than the one that hung blackjack on them just two short weeks ago.

Defensively... we just sit back in a variety of zones and play confuse-a-duck.

Not even Heinz will save them.

I have to disagree. I've seen it way too many times where the Browns sit back instead of pressuring a rookie QB and the result is always the same. A loss. Put some pressure on the damn qb and create turnovers.......

Jimmy Brown, Bernie Kosar, Clay Mathews, TJ Ward , Paul Warfield

What a crock of shit:

SportingNews: Mason Rudolph avoids suspension in Myles Garrett incident, leaving some NFL fans upset

Motherfucker starts this whole debacle by trying to pull Garrett's helmet off, proceeds to kick Garrett in the baby bird, and then chases Garrett as he's walking away...yet no suspension?

Fucking BULLSHIT.

At least some NFL journalists and former players are calling out this horseshit.

Who? I've seen nothing but Garrett being bashed by current and former players, coaches and media.....

Really? Who gives a crap what was said in the presser! I'm just glad "in Hue we trust" is Gonzo! Do ya want to know what Hue's saying now? Phuck hueless jackson! It's time to turn it around now that the cancer has been cut out......

I need to go out and get myself some big black frames (cheap sunglasses) if I'm gonna continue to watch this Sheet show......

Don't know why anyone would trade for Brock when they can just wait for him to be cut......

The wr and DB are both serious concerns

It look's like our WR's are small, wimpy and non physical...

That's cuz they are Nickers

Our wr's are garbage.
