Shaun Rogers, Barton, Bowens, Royal, St. Clair released

[SoulDawg74]

Buy themselves a mulligan and enjoy the luxury of the clock starting on their regime a full year after taking over and in effect wasting a damn year resplete with trottiing out a weak armed fan pet, who wouldn't make the practice squad on a good team as the defacto QB starter.

SoulDawg

Where's that Sanchize v. Franchise thread again?

C'mon man. Every time you bust that out you're basically admitting you can't help falling in and out of love with these guys every single week.

How did a man who is such a self-proclaimed QB know it all fall in love with a weak armed fan pet who wouldn't make the practice squad. I try and take your stuff seriously and I know you know the game but daaaaamn......

Superb play when it counts to make it count, thats what we got Sunday , led by our Mule team running back Hillis and our throrobred Stallion Franchise QB in the making McCoy.

Its what you want , a kid dissed by all with a chip on his shoulder something to prove and winning for us ,toss the salt over your shoulders rub your rabbitts foot and slap yourself the Cleveland Browns done finally found a quarterback.

That was beautiful and touching. It moved me then and moves me now but it doesn't show much consistency.

The team mounts up buckles their chinstraps and responds to this kids leadership , the coaches have daring the defense is stout and the team displays unbeleivable heart .

You can't put a formula to it and you can't define it , butt neither can you any longer ignore it .

The Browns got a diamond out of the dust bin uncut, and rough butt tuff as a three dollar steak and hard as concrete cut nail ,mentally ready to battle and more than prepared to lead .

Oh my goodness. That could have been cleaned up and sent out by Colt's agent.

Busting balls my man. If I could sell you that thread so you could burn it I would. But it would cost ya few bucks and a case of beer.

SD:



Hell peaks , I'm not sure why we're hijacking a free agent release thread into a QB thread but I'll play.

You'll notice my comments were singularly in surprise over Colts play that game , giving an honest appraisal of how good he looked in that game from a fans perspective , a sentiment mostly shared by all including the papers the next day and Swerb who flat out proclaimed him as the answer .

It was refreshing at the time to see such , a young kid working his nuts off coming from nowhere and looking so promising , caution gets thrown to the wind and for once you can enjoy the moment .

Well at seasons end the evaluations are on and the weekend drinks have have been long since worn off and now its time to pay the bill and your looking at room charges by your quests of goat sacrifices and hookers and chaufered trips to the liquor store all on your dime and things are different.

Same with Colt who now you must look at with the hard eye of evaluation and not that of an adoring fan .

Kid is coming up short vs the competition available when we pick , kid is coming up short in terms of a limited ability to throw passes in this league , not to mention injury concerns about a nagging shoulder which has been bothering him since the Bama game , and not even counting the high ankle sprain bullshit which could happen to anybody .

In life no honey moon lasts forever , only for the Browns fans and their latest puppy infatuations which carry on beyond all reason.

So thus all the tongue wagging while fingers are placed firmly in ear and comments with their eyes wide shut.

Nobody with any objectivity could say Colts last month looked good, but 80% of these posts center from that most unreasonable standpoint

Should've canned Mangini right from the beginning? Check. They should have. They set us back a year by not doing it. That was a mistake on their part.

Shouldn't throw Mangini under the bus? Check. No reason to do it. Doesn't make Heckert look good. It may be true, but they should take the high road.

Justify a rebuild? Uncheck. No reason to do it, because a build/rebuild was needed no matter who the coach is, who the GM is, who the Pres is, who the Owner is.

And if last offseason is any indication of how Heckert plans to build/rebuild, then keep at it. If that makes me a company man, so be it. I just can't find it in me to bitch about the only good offseason the Browns had in for-fuckin-ever. If Heckert can do that every year, then count me in for wanting the rinse lather repeat.

We didn't trade Rogers because nobody wanted him.

Making ridiculous tradeup/tradedown suggestions or saying we should get something in return for a guy we are going to cut anyway is a waste of time.

Welcome to reality. He's old, he's lazy, and what little gas he has in the tank isn't going to help enough to justify using a roster slot that can be filled with a guy that might actually play in 2014.

The lack of a CBA where trades of players can't be done and the now on going lockout changed all that in addition to any cap considerations.

Actually I intended this post for FMB, however since the shrapnel already cut into you , I'll address your points .

Heckert gets too much credit ,on his draft day picks.

That draft last year was so deep , three blind mice with a cheese chart could have netted two starters in the first two rounds , and its on record Homie forced both him and the mangy one to choose mCCoy as his gaze was focussed eleswhere.

Wasting two late round draft picks on such a talent deficient roster to net a wait for it now , injury plaqued RB who somehow on cue was injuried and lost for the season is a big negative in my book , along with the lack of receiver talent and not getting a starter let alone another contributor with all those picks in such a deep draft.

You aren't getting it.

If it would have cost the Browns 500 K to keep Rogers and trade him for a fourth round pick later, they would have done it.

500K is a small price to pay for a draft pick, even a later one. Holmgren would write the check himself for a 4th rounder if they'd let him.

They didn't cut Rogers because of money. They cut him because he is lazy, a liar and a quitter. He lied about being too hurt to practice, he didn't give 100% in games and he quit on this team after they went 0-3.

He quit on YOUR Cleveland Browns Souldawg. The man cared less about the Browns winning than you do. He deserves every bit as much of your vitriol as Tim Couch ever got from your keyboard.

The only thing that you are right about is that he WAS very talented. His age has dimmed even that.

He'll be out of the NFL after next year because his diminishing skills just aren't worth the baggage that comes with it. MAYBE he can play in the perfect situation - like KC.

But I'm betting he's 430 lbs and out of work in 2012.

If Rogers was worth a shit, they'd keep him, eat his salary, and trade him for a pick. The word was out around the NFL that the Browns were going to cut him, and nobody was willing to give up even a 6th round pick to obtain his services. That is, unless you think Heckert didn't check around the league to gauge interest.

Either Rogers is worthless, or Heckert didn't bother trying to get any value for him.

[hiko]

I don't think Rogers is tradeable b/c no team wants him for that salary, especially when everyone knew he was a likely cut anyway. His age, injury problems, and attitude don't help.

This is like the Albert Haynesworth situation on a much smaller scale. Haynesworth is more talented than Rogers (one of the most talented players in the league) and a few years younger, yet there's a good chance he gets cut in Washington b/c he's a pain in the ass and no one feels like he's worth the price tag currently attached to him. And, as talented as he is, last year he produced 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 8 games.

So, to the Skins, to THAT team, he ain't worth very much b/c he ain't producing.

[jb]

Why is a team so devoid of defensive talent, making a switch that requires more defensive lineman, cutting the best defensive lineman they have?

For real? Headcase? Who the fuck cares. Be a coach and get through to him.

New England or Pittsburgh gonna get him?

Boy Pup, you have a major hard-on for this club at this time.

Can you remember five plays Rogers made this past season? He was on the field for about 30% of the defensive snaps based on an article someone here quoted.

He'll be 32 in a month. Are his best, most motivated days ahead of him? Will his weight be less of a problem as he gets older? Will his attitude improve? And if it does is it because he sees the end of the line and can't physically be what he was anyway?

Point being if you have a C-grade DL you're paying as an A-grade DL you're paying too much.

I understand the hate toward perennially rebuilding but I'm not sure Rogers is the guy you want to be your poster boy here.

Yep. POS.

Glad he's gone. And these humps are all completely irrrelevant.

Now whether they find a place for guys like Vickers will tell me some things.

Minimum you keep him to draft day so you don't have all those holes entering the draft and telegraphing your needs ,

Players teams don't want like Fane when Savage brought in Bentley get tossed in like a bag of chips with the six pack .

Faine was used just to move up a half dozen places and didn't even net a pick after we wasted a #1 on him /

half a million for Rodgers to stay on the roster was peanuts including his 5 million base ,

They want a new guard , i get that , but some of these cuts wouldn't have happenned now if there was a CBA.

With a CBA in place and us changing over to a 43 , Rodgers would have been re- upped this offseason , so as not to tip our hand if nothing else .

500 g's is nothing for a former All PRO ,DT and his $5 million dollar base was also attractive to other teams
like a DC after what they paid haynesworth or a Denver who is made up of runts just to mention a few .

Prior to the draft and FA under the old CBA , you certainly didn't tip your hand and dump 43 talent, teams would have assumed you would be retaining , or provide for free a 34 NT to the open market for teams desperately in need of bigs like Washington denver or others .

Yeah i get all the hip hip hooray out with the old and in with the knew , and changing of the guard and yada yada yada .

Just mentioning how not having a CBA is changing the landscape in ways we haven't even seen yet, and also want to note how this draft may be far different than what we've seen in the past with more trades early where it usually is cost prohibitive ..

Welcome to the NFL.

Put Rodgers in a 43 one gap with none of the read and react bullshit of the 34 and give him an incentive based contract above his base like a quarter million per sack and watch him play like he just found the fountain of youth.

I was saying that, if he played for say, a team like the Colts or Patriots had him at Punt-returner, he'd be like an X-Factor in possibly making a major super bowl run/victory.

I don't understand how that can be mis-con-strewed.

My bad. I guess when you wrote "...and hoping he doesn't get traded away or released" it confused me.

I'm with Matt on the confusion... sounded like you were worried that Cribbs was gonna be cut, when I don't see that as even a remote possibility.

Not unless they like torches and pitchforks.

Could have been worried about Cribbs Pro Mangy stance in the midst of these Mangy purges causing the powers to be , to be a little uncomfortable with his statemnts, enough so that they keep it in the back of their minds and harbor grudges down the road should Josh have a problem adjusting to the new environment .

If you remember the Big show took mucho convincing to pay Josh , which required a salary contract re work , arrogantly thumbing his nose at public opinion to pay the man.

Josh's injuries and lack of production as a result of which ,combined with some perceived insubordination might cause Homie some amnesia ,down the road if he (cough cough accidentally directs Heckert ) or err I mean stumbles upon his own personal pet who just so happens to do the same things Josh does.

Hope not .

Not saying you're wrong, but I can put a different spin on it. Cribbs runs his mouth so Holmgren, new on the job, needs to show everyone that he is the HMFIC. So he publicly stonewalls Cribbs, then works behind the scenes to get a deal done.

I think Holmgren played that hand like he's got a couple of WSOP bracelets.

The fact that Cribbs' production is way down has more to do with the curse of the TCF Banner than anything else. Now that's he's off the banner I would expect a rebound in 2011.

It's also when Hillis starting wearing the effects of being a human wrecking ball.

I really wish Swerb would put LeBron and Big Ben on the TCF banner.

Cribbs wasn't healthy all year. Part of it may how he came into camp, I have no idea and neither does anyone else. But a good part of the 2nd half issues probably occurred when he got hurt during the Jets game.

When you're 5 toes are pointing in 5 directions that's a bad deal. Yet dude got back on the field in a couple weeks.

Cribbs hasn't gotten fat IMO. He's gotten found out and game planned for. Not just with guys gunning for him, but with guys GUNNING for him.

There were some minor personnel changes on the ST's due to injuries IRC as well. That, plus the toesies set JC back.

But in general, I hope the new staff recognizes that gimmicks on O aren't the way to go. GB didn't Wildcat. They just passed you sillly with a for real-ass NFL offense.

I want to never see JC on O again. Let hm stay good at what he does and focus. Return and gunner, Josh. Return and gunner. Hee's no WR. He's as fluid as Drew Gooden out there no matter how hard he tries.

I'm pretty sure pacthes will go in this direction. Then when he can focus on his few touches per game, maybe we'll se the old Creeeeeibbs back.
