1. Thomas

the rest will be in no particular order...

Phil Dawson, Kevin Johnson, Ryan Tucker, Jamal Lewis, Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow, Rueben Droughns/Peyton Hillis, Joe Jurevicius, Josh Cribbs?

There may be others but not a "glowing" list...

I'll be interested to see if Holmgren gets fined by the league for his accusations of collusion between the Rams/Skins yesterday.

Leigh Bodden and Anthony Henry deserve mention.

Man that is a depressing list to be considered the best of the Browns the last 14 years.

Only one of three to eclipse 1000 yards since the return. That shows how bad the teams production has been since the return. Would you have preferred David Veikune? :cool:

When the kicker is on the list with NO QB's, you KNOW it's been pretty sad. :(

BTW...In "future Hall of Famer" news, I see where Brady Quinn will be visiting the Jets. I'm sure Justin is purchasing his Super Bowl tickets at the thought of that! "NOW I'm done!"

EDIT: You know things have slowed down even MORE considerably when there aren't ANY rumors coming out of Berea. Not a peep...

If you scroll down to the bottom of the article QB position isn't even used for a fan vote. What does that tell you?

If you are not a Browns fan anymore, why are you so concerned? Legit question.


Anyway, based on this FA, it is hard for me to believe the Browns don't go offense with at least their first 3 picks. Claiborne is tempting, but the offense really needs players plain and simple.

I find it hilarious that our "biggest Browns fan" on here is "cool" with the biggest Browns troll on this site.

Literally all skyhook does it troll the Browns, "omg how sad is that list of top Browns players this decade" and BR is all like, "yeah, sad isn't it"

Might as well go hang out with Capone while you're at it, BR.

If they SOMEHOW wisen up and grab a young RT in FA I wouldn't be opposed to going #4-WR, #22-WR, #37-RB.

LOL...why, because a lot of what he states on this thread is FACT?

I don't really get too involved with the NBA thread so if you want to get into your pissing matches with him, oh well. His posts don't quite get under my skin, apparently, like he does to you.

I think you can tell by my posts that I'm not a "sheep" that flocks with the masses (see my disdain for Colt McCoy) and joins in on your little "reindeer games".

I wouldn't respond to S&L all he does is stir up crap and hardly ever has his facts right. Baseball team in Green Bay, No black QB has ever won a Super Bowl etc.etc.etc.

Skyhook just tries to stir shit up, regardless if it's fact or not. There is a reason why he got banned.

Still waiting for your response Skyhook. I know you are trying to think of something clever to be a smart ass, but do yourself a favor...stop thinking, you aren't good at it.

Actually there is not. Made up rules and a personal agenda did it. I post facts if you can handle it put me on your ignore list, pretty simple. I myself have no one on my ignore list because I can handle discussing anything with anybody.

Adam Scharfter on M&M stated that there is a chance that Kolb does not get resigned no matter what Manning does and Manning is a long shot to Arizona. That does not make sense to me.

Skelton is a vertical passer. That offense is tailored to his skillset. Kolb is a WCO type QB and won't flourish in a vertical setting. He's better suited to Cleveland's offense.

I know that H&H implied that they have "recommitted" to McCoy but if Hasselbeck or Kolb becomes available I'll be surprised if they don't at least kick the tires on one or both of them.
