How Ray Farmer, Mike Pettine completely transformed the Cleveland Browns roster in 2 years
By cutting decent players and bringing in stiffs.
I'm not sure I totally agree Vers I mean after all we had more then our share of stiffs to begin with. In no small way the so called solid players were major contributors to our poor records.
I think Text is a egomaniac who thinks (wrongly) that he is smarter then everyone and that and that alone is the major contributor to his failings in the draft especially in the 1st round.
How can anyone endorse a GM that has had 4 years worth of 1st round picks in the books and only one starter?
Hell the 1st round, not second round but 1st round pick from this year can't crack the starting line up? IF your not asking yourself why we drafted the guy to begin with then just what is it your asking yourself?
At some point the rules these 2 have laid out for the organization (accountability) apply to them as well. Their handling of the QB spot has been horrid at its very best.
A 7-9 football team needs lots of things but a 1st round bench warmer isn't one of those things.
I concur with those that have pointed out the supposed success Text has had in getting talent for this team via UFA. What a farce that is.. Truly if UFA are making your team your team SUCKS, to begin with. And yes they look at the Browns and say yes I think I can make that roster because we SUCK, so they come here, and they should.
Point being we have excused Texts less then stellar drafts because of his supposed success in finding RFA.
Then you look at the QB mess we have and the responses from both Pet and Text. Easily the dumbest remarks I have ever heard and the kind of responses I expect from the casual fan not supposed seasoned NFL personal.
Still I want then here maybe they got it right and I got it all wrong, SMH.
I do know this though I expect us to get our asses handed to us this year I really do between the schedule and the lack of effort to shore up the QB spot they have sealed our fate.
It hasn't been all bad news from these guys but man o man there have been to many swings and misses. Lets just put it this way, no more, no no no more or they both have to go.
To me they get this year and maybe next then its game on its put up or pack up.
