I look at it this way - they just fired their coach abruptly after one season. It was universally regarded as a terrible knee-jerk decision (rightfully so) by the fans, the media, the players, and pretty much anyone associated with pro football. It cast the organization in a bad light, and lead to this purging of the GM and President. I don't think there's any situation where they can repeat that move and fire Pettine after only one season. They could whiff on every single draft pick, go 0-16, and Pettine could take a dump on the 50yd line and he's still going to be their 2015 head coach IMO.

You got it. Dead money is the salary cap space allocated for a player who gets cut. So if we keep Kolb, he hits our cap space for $3.6M. If we cut him, it counts $500K against our cap.

Here's a different take "The biggest winner here is Pettine. The black cloud hanging over his young tenure as coach was a sense that he wouldn't wield any say over his own roster. Instead of dealing with layers of front-office men, Pettine will now work hand-in-hand with Farmer to rebuild a Browns team that hasn't won a playoff game since New Year's Day 1995."

F*&@ing Cleveland...

Nobody in that thread, this thread, or in the media at any time has called RI a saint.

For having only limited information, there were a lot of posters in that thread who seemed so certain they knew what was going on within the first few days.

Hah I was going to say that, but didn't want to draw the wrath of EJ fans. Edit: One more https://vine.co/v/MaWBrmQz07K/

You need to learn the art of quitting while you're ahead. You make some very good, logical points and just when I'm nodding in agreement with you - I get sideswiped by a completely retarded statement like Eli Manning starting at QB in 2021 (he will be 41 in 8 years, not 40).

If it was a popularity contest, Kiko would have won in a landslide.

Is Marrone 110% confident in EJ?

Well, regardless, my point stands. The odds of us going after a LT in FA are almost 0%. Armchair GMs should target RTs.

Simply watch him over the last 4-5 games, his decline in play is pretty evident despite what his tackle stats say. He started missing tackles (Rainey 80yd TD run), had trouble shedding blocks, and picked some poor lanes and got swept up in the blocking far too often (the NE debacle). I sort of expected this. He is listed at 238, and I think that's pretty generous. You have to remember he's coming from playing 12 games in college to running every snap over a 16-game NFL season. There's really no way to prepare your body for the brutality of that at his position, so I think he wore down both mentally and physically. I bet he struggled to maintain 230 by the final week. I think a full off-season with our training staff is going to do wonders for him, and I am very excited to see how he performs next year. I bet he starts next season at 245 or so.

He's a LT (and a very good one) so he's going to get a huge contract (also not an area of need). Look for RT's such as Zach Strief from the Saints, who could be had at a much more reasonable price.

I'm trying to imagine how this board would react if EJ had to face the New York media. That's a cupcake Q&A in NYC.

No, just until you get one whose knees aren't made out of balsa wood.

EJ's pressers are a lot like his play in the pocket - feels phantom pressure and he bails. Hiyoooooo!

Guys, 3 knee injuries in his 1st year is a good thing. It's going to strengthen his resolve.

If you don't think the KC loss was Tuel's and Grahams fault, I don't know what to tell you. KC didn't score an offensive TD that day, and if they played another 4 quarters I doubt they would have. Nobody was beating NO inside that dome, not even SF. And no, the D didn't play that well against Cincy, but they held them to 24 in regulation. Feel free to show me all those losses where the O put up 30+ points though...

That happened a grand total of 1 time (Toronto game). You want to win? You'll win when we get better play out of our QB. I agree with Badol's comments - once the team lost to KC, they just mailed in every road game. Show me a Bills fan who would have traded Mike Pettine for Jim Schwartz straight-up at the end of the season and I'll show you a liar.
