Wow, Marshall already went in for wrist surgery -- wonder if he'll be able to play considering it's his non throwing hand.

When I mentioned in the other thread about not sure if I'm still a browns fan, This is why.

"Now, it’s time to start winning those close games,” Holmgren said. “Now, it’s time to start scoring more points. Now, it’s time to get fewer penalties. Now, it’s time for our experienced guys to be better. We have a great sense of urgency in the front office and the coaching staff and that will be conveyed to the players. Sometimes, it takes a little time to get the foundation built so you can be considered a playoff-caliber team each year.”

It is not the time to retain a 1,000 YD Rusher
It is not the time to be confident in your QB
It is not the time to sign a big Free Agent
It is not the time to try and make a move to improve the team.

BASICALLY Our good defense, and anemic offense with no running game, is supposed to carry the load. Because,

“Going from 4-12 to 6-10 isn’t good enough and that’s been conveyed,” Holmgren said. “I believe we are going to be better than that. We’re going to be a lot better than that.”

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight..... So.... What did you do to make the team better?

January 3, 2012 Signed OL Dominic Alford, OL Stanley Daniels, OL Jarrod Shaw, LB Craig Robertson, DB David Sims, RB Armond Smith, WR Owen Spencer and K Jeff Wolfert.
January 18, 2012 Named Nolan Cromwell senior offensive assistant.
January 23, 2012 Named Tim Hauck defensive backs coach.
February 27, 2012 Signed LB D'Qwell Jackson to a multiyear contract extension.
March 14, 2012 Released G Eric Steinbach.
March 15, 2012 Signed DE Frostee Rucker to a five-year contract. Re-signed OL Oniel Cousins and TE Alex Smith. Announced DL Brian Schaefering signed his tender as an exclusive rights player.
March 16, 2012 Released DE Jayme Mitchell.

Huh.... resigned a good LB. Let go of an OG.

“Bit by bit by bit, we’re putting together a football team that will be able to compete and compete well,” Holmgren said. “What we’re not going to do is blow the thing up every two years and try something else. I think Tom and I come from situations where we saw how it worked, teams became successful after a dry spell and we believe we can do that again here. We’re going to stay the course and make sure it happens here if we can do it.”

But you aren't going to do a damn thing for 2 years either. That's not much better.

I just can't believe that this is the gameplan. I have officially informed my agent that I'm opting out of my fandom of the Cleveland Browns. They might be able to resign me, but it's going to take something to sweeten the pot.

Could be worse.. you could be a Dolphins fan.

[Shoju]

Could be worse.. you could be a Dolphins fan.

I tried really hard to come up with a rebuttal. But I can't.

[Klaudandus]

I don't know if I should cry or laugh.

[Flex]

Well they get a running back that way...

[Shoju]

Please for fuck's sake tell me that's photoshopped.


EDIT:

You weren't joking. If the browns... Ugh...

[Teranoid]

Tebow to the Browns

[Shoju]

Tebow to the Browns:

[halabar]

Dammit. I don't want to root for them!

Join me as a newly minted Seahawks fan.

[CrimsonEyes]

*chuckle* Ah, Klaud, while I WISH that Manning had gone to the 49ers (as does my brother, who's probably nearly drank himself to death after the news broke), your signature got me to laugh.

[halabar]

Tebow to the Browns:

Poor Tebow... no way can I root for him there.

[Teranoid]

Also on the subject of the Dolphins I finally get to share this image of what could have been:

[Shoju]

Dammit. I don't want to root for them!

Join me as a newly minted Seahawks fan.

No. You misunderstand. i'm tired of rooting for losers.

[Klaudandus]

*chuckle* Ah, Klaud, while I WISH that Manning had gone to the 49ers (as does my brother, who's probably nearly drank himself to death after the news broke), your signature got me to laugh.

Well, thanks!
