Chicopee John Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 12 hours ago, hoorta said: RE: Baker, it could have- and it was opined elsewhere canning Zampeze might factor into Mayfield's regression, and another reason Dorsey was asked to take a reduced role. For sure, Mayfield has to realize doing those Progressive commercials was a big mistake. He's a far cry from Aaron Rodgers and State Farm. Year three will tell if we have a one year Anderson flash in the pan QB- or the real deal John. I'll hope for the best, the talent is there- but not the consistency. Those TD passes against the Bengals to Landry and OBJ were as good as it gets. I hope you're right? Ironically, I was in FL with my family and we were watching football with my brother-in-law - a huge Packers' fan. After watching the Baker-in-the-bathroom State Farm ad, my brother -in-law asked me, "why is a mediocre QB' getting these State Farm ads.....................just a reference to your earlier comment on how things look on the 'outside' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to smuggle in a huge "Haslams: SELL THE BROWNS" banner and walk it around the stadium during a game next year, just to see how long before security busts ass to take it away.

Happy New Year everyone, stuff like this makes me relativize the importance of things: hope all of you have a great 2020 in your personal and work life ...

Tour2ma Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Fun thread to revisit... From all the early "gonna be McDaniels" and "gonna be McCarthy" proclamations to Dutch taking yet another unsubstantiated shot at Sashi (Joe Banner set him up with picks and cap room... despite two intervening years of Farmer, who in his last draft made 14 picks of which only one was in rounds 6 and 7). Anywho... reason I dug up the thread was MKC's latest column led me to stumble across an old KC Star article that included all the official statements at the time trying to paint Dorsey's departure as "mutually decided." Getting a shot in at Dutch was just a perk... I still think the parting played out more like this: Jimmah: We don't want you here. Johnny: OK, I'll leave. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article238866988.html Anyone still missing Dorsey?

The point in time that this would be a legitimate item of discussion would be in a couple of years, after we have had time to know how Berry has done with his picks. Though perhaps the way to morph this into a currently relevant topic of discussion is to say: Compare and contrast the records of Sashi Brown and John Dorsey. There might be some meat on those bones at this point. So go at that if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I will admit, I thought McDaniels was going to be hired. I was positive of it. (only a fool is positive. are you sure? I'm positive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sashi was a complete dope. At one pro day he had to ask what player they were there to watch. He let some of our better players walk because he figured we only had 3 or 4 wins WITH them so losing them wouldn't hurt. So we went 1-31. (of course some of that is on Hue, but a lot was the fact that we had no QB, receivers or RT...because of Sashi) Dorsey wasn't perfect...but when he came in the first thing he did was cut that useless cancer WR Sashi gave millions to. And then, with a 1-31 team (and a crack pot, trigger finger owner) he knew he wasn't going to lure free agents to us, so what did he do? He TRADED for some helpful players, like Landry. I thought, Brilliant! Bring them to us kicking and screaming if you have to, just elevate our talent. And then right away he drafted us a QB...something Sashi avoided like the plague (do we now change that to, like The COVID?). - I hear Dexter Manly is hospitalized with COVID 19 and now has pneumonia, and he's scared. So, God bless Dexter, get well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think each of them Dorsey and Sashi had two years each to draft. Sure, both had some dud choices, but I think overall Dorsey had a far better batting average with his picks than Sashi. I guess we could break it down and see if we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went all 7 pages without making a single post...Till now ! far to early, but we got plenty of down time to kill... while neither of these guys coached a single down... who hired Freddie than fell on the sword wanting him back? (despite JD's hate for the pencil neck geek in Depo too) who hired Huejax? Who can fire a owner? Whom got real players? that Jimmah now calls "core players"? Edit-- am just a fan, of expecting Berry to build a 'real', well coached football team, regardless of the endless rolling out of credit names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorsRpussies Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Honestly I really wish would could have kept him as "Super" scout as he had a great eye for talent, but then the stories came out him dumping a book of analytics straight into the trash. I knew at that point he had to get the fuck out of Berea. Hiring Freddie did him no favors as well. It would I remember when it happened I called the Browns a dumpster fire, or cum-dumpster. or something to that effect. I'm in a much better place now looking forward.
