The Browns' Draft of 2012

Earlier today as I was perusing through the streets of Akron, I was listening to the boys on 923thefan.com, and they came up with a disgusting fact. Since 1999, in just the QB, RB, and WR positions, the Browns have drafted 35 players. Names like Lee Suggs, Braylon Edwards, Brady Quinn, Syndric Steptoe, William Green, Travis Prentice and so on, have been drafted to contribute to the team and the NFL about as much as Paris Hilton has contributed to mankind.

Our Brownies continue to be the the near laughing stock on the NFL. With a killer schedule coming up this season, a ton of talent to make this team better and not enough first round picks to fill those holes, I can see the new slogan for the Browns this year: Bark for Barkley


The Browns need play makers. I would say more offense than defense at this point. But I don't think that getting a WR or QB at #4 will make this team really any better. I believe the best way to make this team be more competitive is to draft a RB like Trent Richardson.

Why not Justin Blackmon? Most NFLologists (yeah I just made that up), will tell you that a WR doesn't really start to come into there own until there third year. Do you think the coaching staff or Mike Holmgren will still be here then?

Why not Tannehill or Weeden? Well Tannehill comes from a simplistic offense where there are lots of hitch plays, not much reading downfield, and really a system of timing against a slow defense to keep the chains moving.

And no to Weeden because, just a few years back, didn't some kid from Mxchxcant get drafted by the Yankees, take the big signing bonus and totally suck ass in the minors to only then come to the Dallas Cowboys camp and suck ass there as well?  (Answer)

Tom Heckert and the boys CAN NOT SCREW THIS UP. I want and need to believe that they have had a plan all along since they traded with the Atlanta Falcons around this time last year. To compile a certain number of additional higher tier picks and to position themselves at this time right now (not next year) and really start building this team to be a contender not just for this year, but for 6-8 yrs. If we cant get this accomplished, this team is basically going nowhere, like a dead guy, lying in an alley with ugly ass William Dafoe looking over top of you.

Shaun Rodgers and Some Insight on the Draft

A customer of mine told me once one of the greatest words to live by some years ago. “Never let your meat loaf.” Back when I heard this I only thought of it in a sexual context.   But after hearing of the release of DT Shaun Rodgers this past week I was able to apply this great piece of advice from a half senile old man in a different way. The 10 year veteran had played only sparingly over the past two seasons.   He ended the 2009 season on the I.R. (as so many others did as well).   This past season sometime during training camp, Rodgers became gimpy and turned into the Lance Armstrong of stationary bikes.   During the regular season Mr. Rodgers was lucky to play 20 snaps a game. 2009 stats: 11 games played, 11 game starts, 36 tackles (9 assisted) 2 sacks. 2010 stats: 15 games played, 1 game start, 17 tackles (3 assisted) 2 sacks. Shaun's salary in 2010 was $6.9 million, his base for 2011 was 5.5 million.  Really didn't take a rocket scientist to figure ...

The Pooh Has Hit The Fan

Its been about a week since my last post. But its been very difficult to write about something that isn't worth writing about. So what I am going to do is simply post everything interesting I have been able to come across during the past few days. Oh, in case you didn't hear, the Browns let the door hit the ass of general manager George Kokinis on his way out. AFC North Stock Watch Adam Schefter talks about Cleveland getting rid of GM George Kokinis and what this means for Eric Mangini ( video ) The BROWN OUT Eric Barton going on I.R.? Mantarded's Master Plan ? The Browns should lose there Monday Night Football spot. Tedy Bruschi Defends Eric Mantarded. Browns Fans Say Owner Has Dogged Determination. Browns Owner " sick " about state of Browns, but won't fire Mantarded.

The Ongoing QB Competition/Dilemma/Nightmare

I caught the following on a CBS Browns message board earlier today and thought I would share. Normally I don't take much from these, but there are several good points made. Enjoy..... I just got to see his press conference from yesterday, and it sure sounds to me like he has no intention of letting either Anderson or Quinn establish any kind of rhythem at all. Expect a similiar QB rotation to what we endured last Saturday night.....WHY? I understand that he wants to play the match-up game, but how can a QB get the feel for the offense if he's yanked every other drive? The two quickest to reason ideas would be: 1. Both quarterbacks are extremely talented and choosing one over the other is like picking Tom Brady over Peyton Manning . 2. Both quarterbacks are extremely un-talented and it's like having to pick between Alex Smith or Akili Smith. Personally, I have two views on the situation: 1. Mangini wants to create as much value as possible for Derek Anderson so he...
