The worst part about releasing Brock is that Kessler is still on the team.

We kept Kessler and signed some dude who was undrafted and released by several teams.

But hey, the lawyer is a genius!

This just feels different. We're on the right track this time. These guys get it.

true

Is this the same Broncos that were glad to be rid of him when he left for Houston and wanted no part of him?

There are 15 million reasons that are being paid by the Browns that have changed the Broncos opinion.

I don't recall the Broncos being thrilled to get rid of him. I think they were in the running with several teams that wanted him. Houston just paid him more.

Me neither. That was stated by some posters

IIRC, the Broncos really wanted to retain him...

My recollection is that Brock wanted $18 million a year but the Broncos were only willing to give him $14. Then the Texans swept in with the offer of $16.

j/c

Elway's rep as some sort of FO genious would have taken a major beating had he signed BO to that $37 mil deal (that BO turned down before heading off to Houston) then watched BO get progressively worse.

Simien would still be starting...BO still on the bench getting paid by the Donks...and Paxton Lynch would be on some other team.

Luck? Fate? Always nice to have I suppose.

Yes. Elway made several strange comments about the situation and so did some of the Broncos' players (after Osweiler left for Houston). I think it was very humbling for Osweiler to have to go back to Denver for the minimum.

I think it's a little early to predict that Sashi has done well with the QB situation. The jury is still out on that one.

Trust me.

How can you say that? He won a game last year w/his qb choices.

Iirc the Denver comments after BO left were them being butt hurt that someone swooped in and took their guy. They wanted to keep him.

I guess when they couldn't move him during or right after the draft, they weren't going to trade him at all. The other teams called our bluff. NO big deal. We can only assume that BO wasn't a part of Hue's plans.

Jason La Canfora's article about the Browns seems bad, but I think it is just exposing tensions that many NFL teams face around cut day. My guess is that there is a lot tension on other teams when players like T.J. Ward, and Alex Boone, Ahtyba Rubin are cut. One thing that stood out to me in the article was this nugget:

Just like most other things Jason makes up, or just guesses about when he spouts his crap.

sad that he right 95% of the time..

Yet that's something they don't wish to discuss. lol

We're all fans here, lol. Who wants to acknowledge that a reporter that is always bringing up bad stuff about our team (and turmoil in our organizaiton), might actually be right.

Not to mention the fact that he's written some total BS to disparage the team.

Plus, he's been caught red-handed stealing other journalists' content. I know this has already been pointed out, but if we're going to continuously prop up the bad things he has reported about the Browns, then I'm happy to prop up that fact that the guy is a douche.

I don't believe anyone "wants to admit it". But then isn't that different than slamming his reports time after time when he's right far more often than he's wrong?

When he is right I have no problem admitting it. Just let us know when he is finally right about something. But as I said in another thread "I think he is a self serving, bloviated, piece of excrement."

But it feels so much better to slam his reports than to acknowledge that he's right far more often than he's wrong, lol


We will live with the blinders on. If I was to think that things between Hue and the FO aren't as hunky dory as Hue says, I'd be upset.

This is my favorite time of year, even though we rarely win. I'm gonna just choose to ignore that report. Maybe not slam Jason LaCanfora, but definitely not dwell on it.

Just not worth the worries and depression

You are correct, if he is, in fact, "right far more often than he's wrong". My issue, (and I imagine the issue with most other posters that can't stand JLC), is that I don't think, off the top of my head, that that assumption is correct.

Off the top of my head, I think he's hitting at just under 50%. That makes him a really great guesser, and nowhere near an even mediocre journalist.

I have to add: If I am wrong, then show me I'm wrong. If you show me I'm wrong, I'll admit I'm wrong... and will try my hardest to stomach more of JLC's articles.
