I would be pretty disappointed if new ownership got rid of the team president and GM this close to the season. While many have questioned some of the picks H+H have made, you must admit that the team certainly has improved in just about every facet since they have taken over. I feel like the Browns are 1 more lottery pick away from being division/playoff contenders, and it would be a shame if new management (a Steelers fan at that) came in and restructured the organization. I don't know that I can take much more of this garbage...

Problem with that is I don't want to be a "playoff contender"
I want to be a Super Bowl contender. If were anything other than that, what's the point?

Problem with that is that you can't skip steps. You can't be a Super Bowl contender until you are first a playoff contender. There's no such thing as a one-year wonder.SportsAndLady;1235982 wrote:Problem with that is I don't want to be a "playoff contender"

A playoff contender can get hot at the right time and win a Super Bowl...

I don't think that's true at all.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1235957 wrote:you must admit that the team certainly has improved in just about every facet since they have taken over.
The pass defense is better. The run defense and offense were as bad as they've ever been, and the special teams have been worse.

A player getting suspended 4 games is a bombshell?
Maybe on a playoff contending team but there's not one player on this team I would really care about being suspended 4 games.

This is my biggest fear...Richardson suffering a season ending injury in training camp or a preseason game. So much of this offense will be riding on him.shook_17;1236137 wrote:^^^ lol that's what I was thinking. Only bombshell would be, trich having a significant injury.
It's probably going to be Gordon but I don't really think that's a bombshell.

If Gordon is suspended then I hope the new owner fires the entire front office.

To me, the biggest bombshell so far, was that Rizzo was right for once.

I just mean they're probably going to go, at best, 8-8. They're not really going to do anything this year, other than be respectable and gain some experience for their young guys. Losing someone for 4 games isn't going to set back the organization at all.BR1986FB;1236136 wrote:Richardson? Thomas? Haden?
It would suck if one of those 3 guys missed the entire season though.

But....What if the player is Richardson and what if it's roids? Let's say he really isn't the "beast" we thought he was because it was all synthetic? We'd be fucked at RB.

Gotta love D'Qwell. He's been one of the few constants for the Browns over a difficult period of time. Glad he was able to come back and be successful last year.BR1986FB;1236222 wrote:http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index.ssf/2012/07/dqwell_jackson_understands_the.html

As far as today's TC session went, I heard that Gordon looked solid, Haden was all over the place and that Weeden looked like absolute crap.
