Deserves a repost in this thread--

Just more food for analytical b.s. thought: (But don't worry these guys really really really will try to field a team that might win 6 games in 2019, "just be patient")

Paul Brown took the NFL by storm when his All-America Football Conference powerhouse was admitted to the established league in 1950. In the Browns’ first six seasons of NFL play, they ran up a record of 58-13-1.

The Browns lived off that incredible head start for decades, even after owner Art Modell fired Brown in 1963. Through thick and thin in a 34-year reign as Cleveland Browns owner, Modell did not surrender the overall winning record. When the old Browns stopped playing in Cleveland in 1995, the overall record was 376-268-10, a winning percentage of .582.

But before Scheiner was jettisoned, he convinced Haslam to go all-in with analytics to govern all his football operations. “Why not?” went the flawed logic. Nothing else has worked.

Haslam shocked the NFL and the sporting world by making former legal counsel Sashi Brown VP of football operations, naming baseball Moneyball guru Paul DePodesta chief strategy officer and promoting Ken Kovash, another analytics “expert,” from director of research to vice president of player personnel. Kovash’s promotion was under the radar, but he has been a significant contributor to the disaster that has ensued.

Together, with Hue Jackson as coach, they produced one of the worst drafts in history.

Not only has none of the 14 picks – not a single one – contributed enough to produce a single victory, but the “collaborative” decisions to bypass phenomenal new talents such as Carson Wentz, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott have further set back the franchise’s development.

But a phenomenal talent is a phenomenal talent. Every club should be all over that, since he was so obviously a star.

I know you are being a touch facetious here, but not too many teams with a young starter (like my team for instance) are spending a 2nd rounder on a QB. We took Cook in the 4th which was a bit of a surprise really. Teams however that need a QB (and the Cowboys did, lets face it with Romo injury issues the year before derailing them) should be picking one with decent looking talent early. Did the Browns think Kessler was better? If so, why is your coach benching him for McCown and not letting him ride the game out?

Connor yet to be tried out, so who knows on that one.

In that case, there's a QB not even in the league yet who will be better than Prescott, Cook and Wentz and lead the Browns to 10 Superbowls. There's always hope in the unknown.

I can't believe we were the only team to bypass on such a phenomenal talent like Dak Prescott!

Burn the place down!

It is called due diligence. Any qualified, competent front office executive should be able to reach the minimum requirements of the position wouldn't you agree?

These guys have no business being in the football operations side of the NFL--PERIOD.

Unless, you enjoy 0-16 on its way to 2-30 or thereabouts. If you do, god bless you. Personally, I always thought the object of any game was to win...but hey that's just me.
 
Even the poster child for sticking up for failed regime after failed regime knows this FO is a goddamn bunch of clowns:

Cody Kessler was sacked in the third quarter, and on his way to the ground, Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons dived over him and rammed Kessler with his shoulder. Kessler was knocked out of the game with his second concussion in less than a month.

It was a dirty hit by Timmons. He was flagged for roughing the passer. The real Browns would have retaliated if a Steelers player did that to Brian Sipe or Bernie Kosar. These guys? Nothing.


I don't see it getting better for a long, long time. But Haslam is stuck with this set-up of Brown, a non-football leader, building the team because it was Haslam's idea.

Meanwhile, fans keep paying for an inferior product and the ghosts of the Browns' greats in the Hall of Fame continue to weep.

I know this comes as a complete shock to some in here but this is the cold, hard truth:

Kessler is making an impact, on the turf, by almost getting killed every time he plays.
 
THAT is what happens when you hold the number 2 pick and screw around trading down and adding future 3rd round picks for 2018.

See Timmons? See Shazier? That is what defensive playmakers look like.

Not the overrated crap the analytics crew thinks they unearthed.

Hey, come on AC, Kirksey has been really gud for my fantasy team. I wont hear you speak a bad word about Kirksey. ;)

Never liked them. It was easy to see they were way in over their heads and they have truly managed to destroy this organization for years to come.

So good on them for taking a bad organization and doing to it what the Romans did to Carthage.

As they went to Harvard I will assume those morons can understand the analogy.
