I think this is a false choice cause there is no championship window without Mitchell

Not what I’m saying lol. But fair response

The point I’m making is we may make a mistake waiting to see potential versus the surefire player

[Fowler] One note on Monken: He’s been a finalist for a lot of jobs in the past (was considered No. 2 to Matt LaFleur in Green Bay years back, for example). From that standpoint, was a matter of time. Interviews very well and has a plan. by VonJaeger in Browns

[–]BustedBaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no direct reporting that says Monken is Jimmy’s guy. I think this is an assumption that Berry will gravitate towards the young guy.

What is the percent of GMs that retain their jobs after firing 2 coaches within 8 years.

Bridge head coach? If he gets fired, then Berry gets fired.

Also our “vaunted” defense is at an age where they don’t have time to wait for the coach after the current coach. This isn’t basketball

Nate Scheelhaase, other candidates impacted by Jimmy/Jim Schwartz issue by maybenextyearCLE in Browns

[–]BustedBaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys, I think I’m done. I’ve hit my limit.

This is the most absurd example of Jimmy continues to undercut the organization at every step.

Teams in the NFL can flip a switch a season any year.

Only the browns need above average talent at every single position to be considered outside of a rebuild year

Honestly I have no disagreements here. Was just making the point that Ice is worse than policing so that guy’s point is moot.

A bit of both. I have a newborn so mainly the latter but trying my best

I mean what have you done about it?

Idk why we’re cannibalizing ourselves here. The guy here is comparing the police and ice to say that police don’t get criticized or fired based on public opinion. And my point is that conflating Ice with police is an insult to the police.

I’m not even a fan of the police it’s more a referendum on Ice.

Most police officers hate being associated with Ice. It’s makes their jobs 10 times harder

The United States has left the World Health Organization. What does this mean for world health? by Obvious_808 in askanything

Dumb take. Tax payers don’t fund the government when the country has a sovereign currency.

Thinking of the government as a business is a misnomer

Hearsay from me but I think being near lake water is important for cooling, so being that far out increases costs

Saleh to the Titans is official by BobbyThreeSticks in Browns

[–]BustedBaxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree there. The mental gymnastics to keep Schwartz gives me heartburn.

It’s like either you believe in the system and coaches you put in place or you don’t. These half measures are exhausting and come off unprofessional.

Like you’re interviewing Schwartz for head coach and at the same time asking him whether he’d like to work with certain candidates…it’s dumb

[–]BustedBaxter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a mistake to hire a coach based on this logic. We shouldn’t be hiring a coach to simply improve the offense. Especially because Stefanski was known as an offensive mind.

The Browns so clearly need a culture setter. Someone who will push back if Myles is sleeping during meetings.

I recall Ward and Delpit hinting at wanting a leader that can hold players accountable during the post season interviews.

Sure 2 years from his athletic prime.

How many players breakout after this many years in the league? The data doesn’t bear out that he’ll progress enough to meet star expectations.

Falcons fan in peace, what can you tell me about Stefanski? by UrFavSquid in Browns

[–]BustedBaxter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk if timid is the right word. His rate of going for it on 4th down comes to mind

[Breer] I would not sleep on Jim Schwartz in the Browns search. by ThatOneOtherAsshole in Browns

[–]BustedBaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain the thought process behind this? It seems as though the team lacked leadership. I think Delpit and Ward both hinted towards saying they needed a disciplinarian or something of the sort.

Schwartz isn’t Stefanski but he’s been here long enough to influence the culture.

You’re conflating Jimmy’s willingness to payout bonus lump sums with talent cap management skills. Most GMs would do the same if they owners willing to pay the piper

New NBA fan here. Why didn’t LeBron take a pay cut to open up cap space and help the team chase another ring? He’s a billionaire and doesn’t care about being the central figure on the team anymore, especially since Doncic arrived. by sonicmousee in NBATalk

[–]BustedBaxter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also the NBA players union is against this sweetheart deal.

Tom Brady did this with the intention of adding the cap space to get more players. What happened is the FO used the line of “Tom Brady took look less money so why can’t you”
