Honestly I would feel better if Tepper stepped in front of a microphone and explained why he felt Rhule deserves another year. Him saying nothing and moving on to his sacred soccer team pisses me off more than anything that transpired during our season.

When I think about this I can't help but be reminded of how often he sought out a microphone when the team had that very public falling out with Cam in early 2020. It was that mess that led us to Bridgewater and then to Darnold because the decision makers had to have an instant solution to validate the original mess. Bringing back Cam only brought it all full circle. My goodness you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Exactly. This desire to hear from him is driven in large part by how vocal and involved he was when this all started going down; the silence is a notable change that makes people wonder. If he had stayed in the background from the start (relatively speaking given his status as a new owner) or not commented on football matters then no one would be wondering why he's now quiet.

Yes, we are a bottom 5 team in the league currently. I just meant that the way were headed, we might be in Purgatory like the Detroit Lions,, Cleveland for decades .  Not just a couple of years. 

 

...I'm afraid you are probably going to be right... I've been a closet Browns fan since the 70's and seen it all... We have all the makings of a perennial loser in motion.

I sure don't want the Panthers to move there.  But if some team did, that would be an awesome name !

The team could come out of the tunnel for each game behind 3 or 4 galloping Clydesdales.  What a sight that would be !    

Mainly because the first anheiser Busch brewery was in st Louis. The stadium would still probably serve stale beer though.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
