Cleveland Browns appreciation thread

[Royale with Cheese]

We should take the time and thank the Browns franchise.  Both of our franchises were in the cellar for 2 decades.  We got Allen and McDermott to change our franchise and they rejected them.

 

Everyone say thank you.

Yea, but they are the preseason champions like 3 years running.

[Solomon Grundy]

It’s hard for me to appreciate stupidity 😎

It’s interesting to think how the draft would have played out for the Bills if the browns did take Allen. I’d assume they still take a Qb, but who?

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Haslam and company could eff up a one car funeral.  Bonus points for their abilities to fall afoul of the law in the process. 😁

[Billzgobowlin]

I'm guessing after that screw up Haslam was stripped of his decision making

Not Lamar.

Possibly the wrong Josh, but unlikely they would have traded up for him.

I would guess trade up for Baker or stay put for Mason Rudolph based solely on the leaked image.

They both rejected Allen and McDermott which are now Buffalo Bills.

 

They chose Hue Jackson and Baker Mayfield.

If that is a real image, find it interesting that Lamar was appearently off their board...and Lauletta was a possible later round fall back option.

Look, it takes a village.

 

Mind you it doesn't take a smart village.  Just a a choice few idiots in the decision making department to make others' dreams come true.

 

Browns, you did it for us back in 1980 By taking Tom Cousineau which eventually played a part in the Bills getting Kelly in 1983,  and you did it for us again as Royale has referenced above.

 

For this we say thank you.

 

As a gesture of gratitude you can have anything you want on the second shelf or lower, but if you give us your 1st round pick next year in exchange for Bobby Hart you can choose from the third shelf and above...a lot of people are liking the football poppits.

They still have a ways to go to teach the level of the GOAT Offseason Champion, Rex Ryan. Rexy is the preseason Belechick.

They chose Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward so technically they passed on Allen twice😂😂😂

But then, they swindled us for Tellar and still can't pony up the bucks to get helmets from anywhere except the Syracuse Football Surplus store. I say...

Wanted a pass first quarterback and not a running back pretending to be QB. You can't win in the playoffs with a guy like that. You'd think people would have learned after almost a decade of Mike Vick.

Well the starter for the previous few years had been Tyrod.  If you don't believe in that type of QB as "the Man" then it makes sense to cross off LJ.

That’s correct
