Depo returning to baseball is just the beginning of the Browns front office shakeup .

As I was the first to say. Your boogeyman is gone. If you notice that well informed group you posted even says they don't know what Depos job was. 😂

GM..did you listen to the entire video..?

It is ironic that it was Depo who was the first to jump off of his own roller-coaster.

I wonder how many feel that Depo suckered them and played them for fools?
...That is exactly what he did and many actually thought Depo could transform the Browns into a winning franchise by taking analytic shortcuts.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to judging football talent. Scouting requires someone to get out of the office and watch the individual perform on the field.

Earth to mac. Haslam owns the Browns. It's his roller coaster.

Thus far on this board you seem to be the only one who " feels that Depo suckered them and played them for fools".

Analytics give you statistics based on past events. It doesn't predict the future. Most people grasp that concept.


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

Well that's your opinion, not fact. And in answer to your question..... Not many feel that way. Not many at all. And the more attention they paid the less they think that.

...56 W...99 L....1T.....The Browns record since/including 2016 to today.


Depo took a better job.

He may be gone, but his systems are in place and will continue to be used by the people he trained. Analytics isn't going anywhere.

I think it's pretty clear he didn't do what you imagine he did.

At any rate, he is gone so you will need to come up with some new fabrication to harp on.

Well using your logic we need to replace Chris Powell our Head Groundskeeper since he is responsible for our record at home since he has worked for the Browns right. I mean the team is 40-65-1 since he has been here. rofl

The ghost of DePo will continue to haunt mac for years.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Is that the guy that was supposed to have the wind sprint hill ready for training?

Interesting record set:

Record in place since 1950 broken by Browns.

Browns suffer impossible loss. The Browns held the Jets to just 169 yards while turning the ball over zero times. Since 1950, teams were 224-0 when holding their opponent under 175 yards with zero turnovers, but that number is now 224-1 after Cleveland's 27-20 loss to New York. Hey, but let's keep Stefanski and Berry. They built it, they should be held accountable for it.

The moderators banned me for a couple of week and maybe I deserved it but …

Dillon is too short. I saw his height already in June and as far as I’m aware of it hasn’t changed.

What did you do to get banned?

I guess it is not humorous but I cannot help thinking that maybe you had to stand in the corner and hold a piece of paper to the wall with your nose.

I remember having to do that in 8th grade.

I wonder how many of those teams had their special teams give up 14 points in any of those games? I'm guessing none of them.

I honestly don’t know but I’m not complaining because at the end of the day it’s the moderators and the owner of this site who’s in charge of what they think it’s acceptable or not.

Just so you know where I coming from I will add some memories from my childhood.
No papers. The teachers had other methods.

When I started in 1st grade 1969 we had to sing some religious gospel before sitting down. If we didn’t sang convincing enough our teacher (her name was Vera and she looked like a witch) would hit our fingers with a metal stick.

In fifth grade I had a teacher who kicked me with his wooden shoes so hard in the back that I fell to the floor like a bag of sand because I had my winter jacket on. (His name was Karl Hugo and he was 6 ‘10 long with a weight of 250-260 pounds - mean as fkk)

The only thing I remember from my three years in his classes was when he asked me what I need to start a farm. I gave him at least 30 different answers, all wrong until he said,

- you’re an idiot boy, you need money, tons of money.

j/c:

On a personal basis, I'm still going to watch this team but will most likely DVR the games and start watching them that way. (Usually I do this with other games because I'm at work.) This will make the hurt hurt less. You can zip right through commercials, huddles, slow motion stuff, anything you want to not to see, or not see again.

Whenever SS starts to play I'll probably watch that live at first, but if it's more of the same I'll DVR those games too.

P.S. This team really is a Factory of Sadness. It never stops. Good grief!
