With the internet, social media, revenue sharing, and changes in advertising, I'm not sure small market is really a thing any more.

I agree with the rest.

Just give him the benefit of the doubt. Hope he can achieve it and we are proven wrong. He is the youngest GM at 34!

Someone else posted this a few days ago and I just got around to watching it. It's really good and I recommend everyone watching it if they get the chance. It will give insight into how the team will be run and I think would even change the way a person thinks on a daily basis.

That was this guy!

I noticed how much time he spent in that speech talking about humility and being very aware of how they approached the traditionalists and in dealing with their expected reactions. Even being data driven they didn't dismiss what the traditionalists could still bring to the table.

Haslam throws everyone under the bus within a year or two. Yet we never hear him say the dumpster fire is his fault.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

He says that all the time. Literally.

Quote:
January 2016: Firing of Mike Pettine as head coach

"The fact that this franchise is not performing any better, and certainly not like our great fans deserve, is my fault."


Quote:
January 2017: Following a 1-15 season by the Browns

We haven't made good decisions along the way so we accept the blame


Quote:
January 2020: In the aftermath of firing Freddie Kitchens and parting ways with John Dorsey

As owners, we take full responsibility for all of those changes

Berry is very young to be a GM and lacks experience.

That does not mean he will fail, but he will need to lean on others within the franchise to help him make decisions. Hopefully Stephanski and Berry will form a partnership that helps the franchise to make the best personnel moves to produce a winning culture.

Berry is a very young GM. He has plenty of experience. If he was 10 or 15 years older, with the same resume, you wouldn't be saying "He lacks experience"

Berry seems to be worthy of the GM hire. Nothing wrong with the "fast track" if you've learned as much as he has along the way. As far as the PC, he was extremely well spoken and answered questions more completely than we've grown to expect.

I don't think there is much question about intellect at the top. Combine that with a unified approach and it's clear to me we have the right ingredients for success. There are a million variables that will determine whether that comes to pass but I'm impressed with the foundation.
