At least we’re not the Browns

Howie cracked up and quickly corrected the old man.

Regardless, the Browns may be benching their $230 million guaranteed QB and that’s insane.

More than a few Browns fans would suggest that idea for Jim Haslam

The Browns have been to the playoffs more recently. 

That’s one reason I called it worse.  They made the playoffs last year. And are now 1-4 like us.  And talking about benching their QB.

The other is everything they gave up for Watson.  People calling the Bryce trade the worst in history, just look up the Wiki page for the Watson trade.  Holy crap.

Absolutely, and honestly Watson played a minimal role in them making the playoffs last year. We dodged a bullet on that, but we were ready, willing and eager to be the butt of that joke as well, until it moved to the 100% guarantee.

It wasn't for lack of effort. We tried very hard. We don't deserve any credit for losing the auction we were absolutely trying to win.

Sad part is we actually did end up hurting ourselves with all the restructuring of contracts so we could even make the offer. Then we spent all that money to still suck. It's like finding out the gas station is out of sushi so you buy one of those hot dogs that was put on the roller during spring break of 88'.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
