Orion Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 10 hours ago, Westside Steve said: Oh yeah. Well Joe Banner was a beloved member of the Cleveland Browns organization wasn't he? WSS Joe Banner made one of my favorite football statements, "Today's NFL is Pass and Rush the Passer". - I felt that we had someone that UNDERSTOOD the game. He also said that they used analytics and did an in depth study of the QB's coming out that year and that Manziel was waay off the list of QB's to draft because of too many red flags. Shortly after Haslam fired the lot of them and promoted Phucking Farmer. Banner later said, "I'd love to know what went on to bring Manziel from OFF the list of QB's to being the one they drafted". Banner could be a bit gruff.....but he knew his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure if we win a game you'll amend that to not just losses but wins too. I can already see starry eyed looks if we get one win....."how many weeks till the playoffs guys?

Tour2ma Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I still would like someone to let me know what P. Manning's qualifications for GM are... OC? I could see... he was one on the field for over a decade, but GM??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well, the only way ic oeyton coming into this organization is as oc and williams moving to HC/DC. Thats the ONLY scenario ill entertain that has hue leaving. I dont care if the best oc in football wants to come here im not interested in hue leaving. Peyton tho is a national story and you know with 100% certainty he's not coming here to work for one year and then take a well funded 4-5 year hiatus on haslans dime. I trust manning as he has a relationship with haslem and its his first nfl job not as a player so he wont wanna Shmuck it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I really do think alot of our ex coaches came here knowing that worst case they're let go after a year or two and can then sun themselves in st croix for a couple years and basically be set for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see... he was one on the field for over a decade, but GM??? He'll find the franchise QB as GM. Actually as much as he has been involved in the Manning training camp, we should at least hire him as a consultant in a QB search. He knows all the best ones up close and personal from that. https://manningpassingacademy.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd love to shoot the Sheet with Peyton. But I highly doubt he wants to stay in Cleveland. Maybe that's why Haslam has been staying so far under the cap during this "plan". To save money for Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 One other thing of note. Being GM has worked out quite well with another former Denver QB SB winner. I'm sure Peyton has had many a conversation with him over their years together. We could do and have done far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That personal experience should give him an insight as to why one player might be a better teammate than another who's statistics on paper might look better . I'm assuming he knows the game as well as or better than most people involved in the game. While you are pondering things what qualifications does Ozzie Newsome bring to the table? Or Sashi Brown? I doubt one of Peyton Manning's responsibilities will, or should, be to count beans. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 The "Peyton Manning being our GM" thing came around before.....the year that he retired. The connection was Haslam and his love of Manning's alma mater. I believe that they knew one another to some degree from Manning's college days. I should think that THAT right there would be enough reason for Manning to stay away from us. Manning & Kosar are a lot alike to me. Neither was going to hurt you with their legs and neither was ever fooled by a defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. But we are going to have to out suck the 49ers. Maybe they are set at QB? Maybe Shanahan will take Kirk Cousins off Washington's hands.

Shanny's love of Cousins, and vice versa, gives me hope that SF is the only team we will not have to "out suck"to gain pick of the litter... assuming our pick is the consensus pick.

If San Fran ended up with the #1 overall pick but was able to sign Cousins, I'd be shocked if they didn't dangle the pick for a ransom. The Browns would probably have to trade up to #1 to ensure they get their guy. (Unless, of course they liked Rosen or Allen more than Darnold, if Darnold is the consensus #1 pick. Then the Browns could just sit and let their guy fall into their laps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
