Some guys just don't get it. Daniel Snyder didn't for over 2 decades. Tepper won't either. 

Many thought Haslam would never get it in Cleveland. After a seven year stretch that rivals the Panthers since Tepper took over, Haslam seems to have things figured out. Haslam’s venture with the Columbus Crew has also paid off with two MLS Cups. 

For as bad as Haslam’s sports ownership started (and it was bad), he has seemingly turned it around. I hope the same for Tepper.

Haslam wasn’t trading away future firsts. Haslam’s key was picking top-5 for almost a decade. Tepper’s impatience will have him handing away top-5 picks every year.

Stefanski is the 7th head coach since Haslam bought the Browns. Everyone said the Browns were in a state of complete dysfunction. This board even says that (“We are the new Browns.”) 

Haslam seems to have found the right coach, and the Browns now have a decent roster. That’s a sign of Haslam’s growth, and I’m hoping for the same with Tepper.

They started drafting much better after the Manziel era including 2017 where they got Garrett and David Njoku in the same draft. Fitterer has spent years wasting top round picks on useless players which has set the franchise back to where it is now. Hurney got poo on but the team never fell to levels like this largely because he always hit on his first rounders and they became foundational pieces of the team.

It’s no coincidence that our best player on the roster was his last first round pick. Meanwhile Fitterer brought us a guy who cant stay on the field, a left tackle as bad as Byron Bell, and an undersized QB who just completed a season where we saw next to nothing to give anyone hope for the future.

Fix the front office and we can be a lot better or at least able to be competitive.

Some of the better teams tend to use analytics the most. I don't think analytics are the problem in Carolina. Poor talent is.

I remember when people were livid Rivera and co were not analytically driven.

I don't understand why people think adding another middle man to the front office solves anything. Tepper can't hire a good GM or HC to save his life but somehow is going to find the right person to give the keys to? What happens if they're another bad hire? Should he intervene or stay out of it and let the "professionals" work?"

Like he may fade out of the public eye for a bit but there's no way around the fact that he's making the calls in the end, I'm sorry guys. Just gotta hope he's learning from his mistakes.

They've had 4 top 5 picks since he owned the team 2 were the year Mayfield was taken. Garrett and Ward  the only ones left. Mayfield and Richardson long gone.

Stop it.

If a owner has shown you who is believe him! Y'all keep hoping this dude will change when he has shown you he doesn't care. It's either his way or the highway. The guy won't even go after Jim Harbaugh. He doesn't want to give up his control over the team. He and his wife have to be involved in football decisions. These people are going to practice and actually acting like they are coaches. Just flat out pathetic.

 

We have the worst owner in the NFL embrace it!

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
