2014 Off-Season Thread

[AZ_]

I was firmly on the Titus Young bandwagon.

Of course, the measurables can't judge crazy.

And people (national media, some Browns fans) were going in on the Browns for not taking a WR at 35.

Little, Massaquoi, Robieskie... nuff said.

In all fairness, Marqise Lee, Allen Robinson, etc are legitimate WR prospects. Not guys who played RB in college, or projected to go undrafted, etc like that detestable former group of 2nd round WRs selected by Cleveland.

Cool, but don't really care why they parted ways with him.

Guy sucks. Good riddance.

Not like this was the deepest WR draft ever or anything.

I'd rather have one of the WRs we could have got at pick 35 than be hoping some 7th rounder who hasn't played a game has a breakout season (Charles Johnson) like some people here are hoping for.

Now comes the interesting part... does he find work and if so, where? Classic "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" guy.

I don't think anyone in Cleveland gives a shit why Little is gone. I can totally see him going because of his attitude, though. Is this guy trying to show someone up?

Hope GL had fun at Haden's place after the extension. Probably was as bombed as he generally is on the weekends.

 

[I-77 NORTH]

He could've have had this "party-influence" on Josh Gordon's behavior.

I think it's the best interest of the team, and in the best interest of our best WR that he is let go...finally, no more screaming at my tv because of a WR not catching a wide-open pass.

He called the move a "head-scratcher" which resulted in what I'm sure was a bevy of tweets about dropped passes.

Still think he could have been good if developed properly. There was an 8-game stretch in 2012 where he looked like a different guy.

I'd rather have Joel Bitonio, Earl Bennett and Miles Austin, with Charles Johnson as a wildcard, than rely on a rookie 5'11 Marqise Lee with a gaping hole in the right side of our line

You mean two veteran receivers and a 7th round pick.

At least troll with the right context.

Jigo would be disappointed.

 

[Chris]

Out of curiosity is anyone really expecting anything from ... Earl Bennett and Miles Austin? Or Charles Johnson for that matter.

No more than I'd expect out of a mid-round selection.

But the first two are merely placeholders who can carry them through a suspension.

If Austin can even get on the field, I'll be happy.

It takes two to tango. There's a breadth of evidence that this guy can't keep his head on straight.
