yea. i saw how every one were fighting for that 2nd round tender on Gipson. and all those teams fighting for Craig Robertson. pfft

So old like the Browns players you are complaining about?
Maybe it's time to get rid of you for a younger fan!

glad you like getting rid of players just coming into there prime for more money on old players on the downward side. obviously you think its a great idea. sit back and enjoy pfft

I don't care if we had a team full of players that require Depends, I just want this freakin team to finally start winning something anything!

Problem is new or old this is a patchwork team that is not built for winning, but all the homers are convinced things are gonna be different.

I've come the conclusion even if the Browns win a Super Bowl you'll find something to rag on the FO over.

and thats your answer about "glad you like getting rid of players just coming into there prime for more money on old players on the downward side. obviously you think its a great idea. "

stay in the smackshack and dont worry about real football. pfft

Well I can't answer that question until I see them play for the Browns ask me at the end of the next season when there is something solid to base my answer on other than speculation.

how about i ask you 3 years from now lmao.

OK if your Oldheimer's let's you remember in 3 years.

So you would not want Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Darrelle Revis on the Browns because of their age?

wow. did we sign that kind of talent? oh i get it.you think mccown, and Tramon Williams are in the same talent as Manning and Revis. lmao. stay in the smack shack lol

Why do you feel the need to MAKE THINGS UP?

Please show where I posted that...now set down the alcohol and move away from the keyboard.

Why do you guyys feed this guy?


He obviously has a good number of posts, but I don't remember him. I guess as some have said, he is one of the smack shack guys. I never go there, so I wouldn't know.

why else would you bring up those players except for comparison?

well mr we have a strong young core eo. lets face it. we keep let players go that you and others think are great while they play with us but how many get good contracts when they leave? how much do the rest of the nfl think of our players. the only one we know of for sure is mack, the guy you said would be easy to replace with grecko lmao. ward? no great contract. the ones this year? very reasonable contracts.

sorry, you and others can babble about the udfa players we have until your blue in the face but the sad fact is these are players that 32 teams did not draft. there biggest assets are motivation and not raw physical talent. they are limited.

Just a word of wisdom....once a player is in camp, it doesn't matter how they got there.


My point is these undrafted players you seem to dismiss beat out some players who were drafted.

"So you would not want Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Darrelle Revis on the Browns because of their age?

goes to show how bad our draft are. and again. you dont see these players we play going to do anything on any other team do you?

i would take any of the 3 but we did not bring that talent in. what part of that dont you understand? instead we let players that were coming into there prime for backup old players.

are you that stupid you dont understand that?

pb, I can't say I completely agree with you. We have gotten guys like Gipson and Cribbs via UDFA's.

But on the other hand, we do have some players that were UDFA's that either started or got playing time and contributed that beg to question.....

Are they really good? Would they be starters elsewhere? Or is that simply the best we have?

Sometimes I think we're just so weak at certain positions, that even UDFA's can come here and either play or even start because our talent at certain positions is so poor, not because they are so good, or even diamonds in the rough.

So to that extent, I really don't disagree with you.

The part I don't understand which of the players that the Browns have picked up this off seaon have played like back up old players for the Browns this season?

Which players that the Browns let walk played like pro bowlers for their new team this season?

I guess we will no longer be the youngest team

In a way I can agree with you. My point is once a person is in camp, their draft position doesn't really matter. In theory a 1st rounder should be the best player and the undrafted guy should be the worst. But, it doesn't work out that way. You always have guys like Brady who everybody passed up 5-6 times.

In the end, if you can get 2-3 good players per draft cycle, you are in good shape. It doesn't really matter how or where you got them.

As to your question: I can see Crowell playing for other teams.
