DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum What will Haslam Do?

Chances...chances...what? Haslam said he will give thes young guys a chance. What??? He either has more money than reported or less brains. I'm not sure which.

Gordon has had chances. He wants OUT of Cleveland. He wants to play on a Super Bowl team and he is stupid enough to thnk he is helping himself. Who will take the chance?

Manziel just lacks skill, brains, character, values and a good work work ethic. Ditch him......he will eat this team alive. He is a cancer in the locker room.

Gilbert has some promise. He may come along with some time.

Missing meetings, tardiness and apathymis inexcusable by any standards.

If college gradutes couldn't do their jobs after months of observation, practice and mentorship, they would not have a job. What does it take for these guys making millions to be accountable for their actions, choices and work ethic or lack thereof?

They canned Tate, why do the rest of these losers remain?

Haslam needs to stop wasting his money on these losers who perpetuate a loser mentality in the locker room.

Also, stop putting stock in what these loser scouts and talent evaluators recommend. Someone out there has to be capable of a better job than what we have seen here.

As a season ticket holder of 21 years, I will seriously reconsider wasting my valuable funds on this hot mess of a team.

Haslam calls out the team....I believe he needs to call himself out, grow a pair and can these losers......Manziel and Gordon.

Connor Shaw showed me he has more on the ball than Manziel will EVER have. Gheeez, what a total loser!!!

Good luck Browns fans, we will certainly need it......yet again.

St Louis, Houston, and Buffalo would be your competition.

Where do you get that any player has to approve a trade? I doubt that many NFL contracts have any such clauses. MLB deals are rife with such things ..... but not in the NFL. A player can say that he will retire, or that he will not re-sign, or alter his contract with a certain team, or even just that he doesn't want to go to a certain team, but very few players can decide where they might go if they are traded.

Seems like you are saying the same thing I am. If a player doesn't want to be traded to a particular team there are multiple ways his agent can get him out of the trade. Not the least of which is saying his client won't play for the team. If we are talking trade, we are talking a QB who likely has a number of interested parties. Maybe I am wrong but I cant think of a recent instance where a team has traded for a QB and the latter has said I don't want to go there but I have no choice. Probably the closest was Eli Manning going to San Diego and that wasn't a trade it was the draft. And how did that end up, he went where he wanted to.

Look up Jake Plummer

I got text messages last night from a feed that supplies them from MK Cabot. She reported that and it did my heart good.

Top down, the organization seems to be taking a hard line.

Pettine made some tough statements in the post game presser snipet I heard..

Good to hear.. They'll either grow up and produce or we'll find others that will

Gilbert has received more criticism from teammates and coaches than any other player on the Brown's roster. More than Gordon. More than Manziel.

Gilbert said he would rather sleep than study like Williams has.

Gilbert cane across as resentful, sullen, and insincere when questioned about his teammates comments.

Gilbert was punished for being late to Saturday's practice....you know...after he said he was going to work hard. Unlike Manziel, Gilbert was actually supposed to play in the game.

Not sure why you are defending that turd, but I can't let it slide.

I agree with a lot of your post, Eo. I just feel little, if any, pressure or inclination to prop up this Gang of Three much further at all. I am trying to see the legitimate upside the FO and Haslam see of benefit in the future. Three misbehaving brats who are full of themselves, screw their team, and don't prepare. They are projects at the least.

Tired of projects. Especially if they distract and sidetrack best efforts going forward. Hindsight should be both reliable and 20-20. I would be looking for offers on all three.
Just that bad. Keeping them negates communicating where the bars are set. Obviously fines do not matter.

The Bigs — participate as a privilege. I am not willing to lose relentlessly while they decide if they will grow up and play hard football.

I think Shanny is the best coach on the staff and it ain't even close. I believe he is an excellent designer of plays. I think his play-calling masked a lot of inadequacies this year.

I hope he isn't offered a HC job somewhere else, like San Fransisco.

We will be a lot worse if we lose Shanny's brilliance!
