Browns rant thread.

[TopGun]

There's situations where a trade down/massive trade is warranted.

I think, for example if the 1999 Browns would have taken what Mike Ditka was offering in 1999 for Ricky Williams? That would have been a good move. This is considering how badly the NFL dicked them over expansion draft wise among other things.

I think that what we saw in 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2016 have been "mistakes". It's far better to take the "blue chippers" you can nab there than it would be to pretend you're the New England Patriots, then outsmart the rest of the rest of the league.

But the entire idea of the strategy is that you can't outsmart the league, that you don't have some special ability to select only good players with your picks, and so the best way to accumulate the most talent is to have the most picks.

That article was pretty damn good, but also a little depressing. It definitively shows multiple avenues to building a roster failing for the Browns. At this point, I think an exec needs to not have their heads in a guillotine after a couple mistakes.

Remember when Mark Kay said we finally have a franchise QB in Jason Campbell? She's fucking worthless

It's always best for reporters to ask someone questions that's not familiar with the topic being discussed.

... Here's the doozy from MKC at the bye week (10) in 2013, subtitled "Four things I think at the Bye":

http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2013/11/cleveland_browns_are_currently.html

The 4 things:

• The Browns are the best team in the AFC North
• Jason Campbell is an elite NFL quarterback
  
• Joe Banner hit a home run with head coach Rob Chudzinski.
  
• There's a lot to love about Ray Horton's Defense

The Browns did not win a game after this article was published; going 0-7 to finish the year. Jason Campbell never started another game. Rob Chudzinski was fired at the end of the season.

Someone should start a journal on Cleveland reporter hot takes that turn out to be way wrong. The nation needs to see what we are dealing with here. A picture of Hoynes watching the 2016 WS from the press box can be the book cover picture.

Lock him up!

That's troublesome shit right there. The ability for JH3 to come out without punishment AND a decent reputation is dwindling. He's going to have to plead some serious ignorance to stay out of trouble.

Lock him up!

Is that legit?

Get him the fuck out of here!!

Coupled with the previous quote about Haslam knowing, it doesn't sound good. However the tapes are only now being played for the jury, meaning this is not new information from a law enforcement perspective. My understanding is that the FBI obviously had this information since the original bust; "damn this guy is dirty but not enough to convict" seems the best bet.

Holy shit THATS what she said, an elite fucking QB. Cleveland media is the absolute worst
