I think they should give Sanchez a chance (as a backup). He's still young, and he's shown flashes at times. Would be a nice upgrade over Campbell/Weeden/Delhomme/Wallace et al.

I would have no problem at all with this guy in the 4th or 5th.

Maybe we could get Kyle Shanahan

I would like Shanahan, but I don't think there's any chance he'll come here. He needs more control than this regime will allow. I honestly wouldn't mind a Mangini return, but there's no real chance of that either. Whisenhunt would be a blessing.

Since Lovie was already hired, this is my favorite option for the Browns. Would be cool if he brought Grimm along and kept Horton. I would love this hire.

I'm not a fan of signing Tate. Would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think he's worth the money he'll be asking for. I'd love to see Decker here (would rather overpay for a WR than a RB). Asamoah would be a great pickup as well.

I'd prefer Gerhart to Tate, especially because he will likely cost less. He could pound it out, and then rotate in Lewis.

Haha fair enough on Sanchez. I just thought he showed flashes of competence before 2012, and could probably be had on the cheap.

I'd rather pick up a younger QB like Mark Sanchez to compete with Hoyer, and leave the rookie QB on the sidelines until he's ready.

During Smith's tenure in Chicago he never fielded an Offense that ranked higher than 23.

He also only had one season worse than 7-9. In the past decade, the Browns only have one season equal or better than 7-9. He's as safe a bet as any I think.

I was hoping they'd hire Lovie last year. The Browns really need to hire a coach with positive NFL experience. To me, that means Lovie Smith (or Shanahan if he is fired).

Why do people want to drop Obi? He is averaging 4.9 ypc. Most would consider that more than solid for a backup RB. I'm not sold on Tate as a high-price FA, and would rather address RB in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft, but I think Obi is fine for what they are paying him.

Cut Weeden today.

The running backs weren't the problem. They all played relatively well (especially Ogbonnaya). The coaching staff abandoned the run way too early as usual. It looked like the return of the Weeden playbook out there. A disgusting showing all around. Too many mistakes. The only real positive I saw was that AJ Green was shut down. The defense played pretty well.

Sources say that Garcia just purchased a house in Strongsville.

Omg....Seriosly lossing faith in this coaching staff. Ripped off two runs for 17yrds. That didn't work lets air it out. A chance to get within one score so we go for it on 4and 15. Get these guys outta here too

I'm with you. Rob theShitSkid needs to get it together. Why waste an opportunity at a 1 possession game, especially with the defense playing so well?

It seems that Cameron is being used mostly as a blocker lately, while Barnidge is going out for the pass. Why the sudden change after Cameron started off so well?

If the above impressions of him are true, he will definitely be a good fit. Still, I wish they would've given Lovie Smith a shot. But i don't run the team...I am willing to give Banner and Haslam my trust (at least for a couple years).

If so, it would seem that the Browns Board tradition of misspelling the HC's name will continue...
