Using that same scenario, the current team (us) may think the exact same thing as far as salvaging his career.

I really don’t think he is going anywhere unless we make a move to get Mariotta or Winston.

Based on using a 1st rd pick on him and he hasn’t even played half a season’s worth of games, I wouldn’t trade him. I also wouldn’t pencil him in as our starter either. I’d see how the draft unfolds and/or the rest of free agency plays out.

In other words, much like there isn’t a pressing need to move on Gordon, I’d do the same with Manziel.

I don’t think this would be such a big deal (aka small changes to the helmet) if it weren’t for the publicity it got. Let’s see what happens to the uniforms.

I didn’t really want anything to change, so for the helmet to change to a darker orange and a brown face mask…that’s a win.

At least we can plan on using our 2 1st rd picks this year. Most years, we are talking about packaging picks and trading up.

Keep in mind Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl….we just need the rest of the team to be awesome.

LOL. Soup.

For the record, Manziel was Soup’s pick.

Please feel free to take this out of context, quote it later, etc.

Please tell me that this was sent….

Ummm..that wasn’t the point…neither of you followed the rules of this post. The easy answer is none of the above, now pick from the two options.

Couldn’t seem to get the vote button to work, but I’m with the loophole group. As has always been the case, I’d gripe if another team did it, but admit that it wasn’t against the rules.

IF we are lucky, the disappointment of the d-line situation is an aberration and becomes a strength this season. I suspect we will lose some players there and thus, continue to be disappointed.

I’d say that this year’s first rd strategy for the Browns is completely up in the air. No one really knows how they feel about their QB depth chart nor how they feel about bringing back Hoyer. They will draft another QB, that is almost a given.

If they don’t address the WR position in a big way this offseason, there should be a mutiny amongst…[Read more]

The thing to keep in mind is that while going to rehab is a great first step for him, that doesn’t mean he will become a better football player. His attitude won’t miraculously make him Mr. Blue Collar or have the work ethic of say Peyton Manning.

Its a great step for him as a person, but I’d say a small step as a player.

I don’t want to see Gordon in a Browns uniform unless he dramatically changes his tune and seeks real help. The guy is still in denial…which means he hasn’t hit ‘his rock bottom.’ Football isn’t his measuring stick either.

The pragmatist in me agrees with Ice. The idealist wants Gordon to change. The realist thinks he needs to be cut.

As…[Read more]

I think the signing was a ‘sign’ once again that no one wants to come here…at least no one that values their reputation as a coordinator/coach/etc.

Still like Farmer and Pettine, but all signs still point to the same ol’ Browns (since the return)…

Sign some staff, fire some staff, rinse and repeat.

Let’s hope we find a diamond in the…[Read more]

I don’t like the idea of Manziel, Shaw, and <insert new qb> AND I don’t want to see the same qb’s here either. I think Shaw stays. The issue is that as long as Manziel is here, there will be drama at the #1/#2 spots. If we draft another qb (ugh…every damn year or two)..then Hoyer could be the stop gap. If Manziel stays, …

screw it…I can’t…[Read more]

Get a damn quarterback! Draft 19 of them if you have to. Solve this problem…ugh!!!!!!!!! And once you figure out who the QB is, leave the coaching staff and offensive system alone.

Sure a team can be turned around quickly…but not in Cleveland. Public opinion still favors Farmer and Pettine. There are not any torches and pitchforks at…[Read more]
