Don't let you butt hurtness get in the away of making you think i am trolling.

So, you just decided to bitch and moan about gase turning down an interview (he also turned down the vikes, but hey please dont let the facts get in your way), for the hell of it? Not because you wanted to interview him? And I am trolling? LOL.

Ok...you're not trolling. Just mad that I said Quinn said the right thing in an article you didn't even read?

Probably neither, but I never claimed you were trolling, even though you did go out of your way to bitch about gase... despite the fact you didn't even want him lol. That is IQQYesque right there.

I am not saying Pettine is the best hire, I do like the hire, but I am not going to bitch about it until we see how the season goes. I DESPISED the shurmur hire and was not a fan at all of the Chud hire, but I still gave them their due diligence. It's obnoxious trying to talk Browns football on here when people like you and IQQY will find any reason to bitch about the Browns.

Now that the season is over, lets move onto FA and the draft. Anyone that we should go after in FA? I have a feeling we franchise tag ward, and sign mack. I wouldn't mind signing a FA RB though, even if we have the greatest RB in the NFL (dion lewis).

You don't add to the obnoxiousness now do ya? I made one simple statement, that in no way was false or an indictment on the Browns, and you had to jump in and act like what I was saying was way off base.

One simple statement? You haven't been bitching since the end of december? lolk. Like i said, just eat up whatever the media says. They are always 100% on the ball. Just like McDaniels was for sure going to be our coach the last 2 seasons.

Alright I'm going to try and get this thread back on topic, before SE qqs again.

I think Mack is good as gone unless they tag him. Wouldn't be opposed to tagging him either long as we sign Ward. I think Schwartz, Lauvao, and Greco are good as gone though. Schwartz maybe stays on as a back up but he doesn't fit the zone blocking scheme at all. RB i want to go draft, loaded in the draft at the RB position.

I am sure a lot of people on here won't be a fan of this, but I honestly think the Browns should give incognito a look. He is a pretty damn good guard, and he would come cheap.

He's an asshole just like Banner, I think it could work.

With Shanahan being named the OC, there is speculation that Browns may try to trade for Kirk Cousins.

...That would give us a lot of flexibility with the #4 pick, and we wouldn't necessarily have to spend it (or worse, trade a pick to move up) to get a QB.

I'd be ok with signing Incognito. Browns could use some nastiness.

He would be good for the browns, but not so sure the SKins are ready to part with him.

Want NO part of Kirk Cousins. 4 TDs, 7 INTs, 52 completion %, 58 QB rating in 5 games. Thought he was terrible in college, and think he still sucks.

Yeah let's keep drafting lineman and corners with our first round picks. That's definitely helped the team's W/L record.

Oh, I stopped reading after "speculation." There is so much bs news created in this thread it brings the lulz.

What is there besides 'speculation'....all the talk about the draft is nothing but speculation/opinion/ bs. .....stop reading the whole thread because other than grown men calling each other names there is nothing else.


here's your link tho'

Plenty more on the web too....and it goes back to early December BEFORE Shanahan knew he was coming to Cleveland.

I also want no part of Cousins. One underachieving Michigan State QB is enough.

Well we could draft a running back.....oh, wait...that didn't work out to well either.

The problem is not what we are drafting, but who.

Our first picks have been pretty solid. Obviously missed on a couple. But we got a pro bowl corner in the top 10. A HOF tackle in the top 10. Mingo will be fine.

The main problem is not finding a QB worth a damn. The second problem is we suck in the late rounds.

Exactly. Look at Seattle. They hit on those late round picks. Hell Sherman was a 5th rd pick and is the best corner in the game. Pretty crazy how many late rd picks they hit on.
