After a promising rookie season Avery couldn’t crack the lineup because we had an idiot DC to go along with an idiot HC.

My problem with Calloway is just that it was a wasted pick. Of course John Dorsey knows A LOT about drafting players with questionable pasts. Sometimes it works out and something it is a complete failure.

I guess you’ll have to define ‘football guy’ for me to answer.

Agree. He’s a guy that fell due to off-field issues but had enough talent to be in the NFL.

Also not good enough to dress: Higgins, Njoku, Randall. Those are guys we KNOW are better than the guys who started in their place. Avery was in that group too. Kitchens put guys in his doghouse and we’ll probably never know why.

Not the only football…[Read more]

He might have had to keep Hue for a year just to get the GM job. Haslam was talked about as a guy who was way too quick on the trigger and it was starting to hurt us in luring assistant coaches.

Not bringing in COMPETENT competition you mean. We had a bunch of shit tackles on the roster. But who was out there for us to get? Please don’t say…[Read more]

The Browns seem to be hiring guys who have values. They are setting the tone for the future. No more risky picks with players who tend to get in trouble.

Its why they talked to both Hunt and Beckham about personal responsibility and acting the right way.

I don’t know if this will work out or not but I do like the direction they are taking.

I remember thinking at the time that Tyrod Taylor was one of the worst available options at QB. He didn’t excite me at all. His work ethic was undoubtable though and he was a good influence on Baker.

I did not (and still don’t) understand trading Avery away. He’s a low risk guy with a ton of upside and we sure as hell could have used him this…[Read more]

Soup doesn’t like analytics because it says he is wrong 90 percent of the time and believes most of what he reads on the internet without doing any kind of research.
LMAO.

All kidding aside

Most teams that don’t cheat use analytics.

It is a simple as knowing the odds of making a 4th and 2 from the 36 yard line down by 2 with 8…[Read more]

You’re going all Soup on us here making accusations and trying to pass them as fact.

Dorsey left as a ‘mutual parting of ways’. IIRC Wolf and Hightower were fired. I should also point out that Berry came up in the NFL in scouting.

The SF 49ers who were just in the Super Bowl uses analytics. Some people have such a biased misconception on what analytics is an how it is utilized that they refuse to see others teams success using it.

Like Dawg said, Haslem will probably screw it up though.

SF also used it. Also if you’ve been paying attention, Andrew Berry said the scouting staff is going to have a major say in who gets drafted.

Soup, you still don’t know what analytics is or how it is used. It isn’t a be all end all. Several division winners utilize analytics. Baltimore uses it, Philly uses it, New England has used it for years. None of us know how much it will be used but it is another tool. It doesn’t mean its the only way which I think you believe it is a be all…[Read more]
