bostonlager 2,418 Posted September 13, 2021 I don’t have a favorite team now, but when I was a kid, I loved the Cleveland Browns. I’m glad that sonofabitch, Art Model is dead and hope it was painful. Took my favorite team from me and they go on won 2 Super Bowls wearing purple uniforms. Dumbest owner ever must go to the guy that fired Bill Belichick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 13, 2021 There are two types of owners 1. Owners in it to win it. Willing to take a risk on players and coaches if they think it's a winning move. You want to hire a prolific winning college coach to take a shot a greatness in the face of public criticism? Do it. Screw the haters. 2. Owners in it to make money and protect their investment. They are ok with losig as long as the coach, management, etc are a nice guy. Will fire winners if there is controversy. Khan is type 1. Best type of owner to get. He is taking risks to win. He cares about winning. Jimmy haslam is type 2. John dorsey comes in and completely stacks the roster in 2 seasons with an immense amount of talent. But dorsey rubs people the wrong way. So haslam fires him for a nice guy yes man in Andrew berry who blows his first first-round on a left tackle bust. Browns are probably headed right back down into bottom feeder territory. But it's ok to haslam as he wants nice guys and doesn't care about winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 13, 2021 I can't fault khan at all. It may not work out, but his decisions are the type of decisions an owner makes when he genuinely cares about the team, about football, and about winning. He wants it bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masshole 642 Posted September 14, 2021 It all depends on where you set the bar. If it's "win games and get results", then Bob Kraft gets high marks. If we set the bar at; "if you are a billionaire, you shouldn't be getting caught getting a hand dougie from an Asian lady in a strip mall massage parlor. Just dump $50K on some insta-ho and get it the old fashioned way that nobody can video tape or catch you at", then Bob Kraft sucks as an owner. See, it's all just about the perspective from which you view it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted September 14, 2021 19 hours ago, edjr said: and trade up for Trubisky Yeah. A lot of things look bad after the fact. I think the Bears screwed up more in how they handled the guy. Lots of talent, very raw. Give him one coaching staff in year one, then switch it the next year and you are not starting him off on the right path. If Allen goes down at any point this year, it will be interesting to see what Trubisky looks like on the Bills. I was listening to ex players, coaches, GMs and such on NFL radio over time and they all seem to remember it that Trubisky was liked by a lot of teams. And most teams put him above Mahomes and Watson. There were a lot of open questions on Mahomes at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bledsoe sucked that season before Mo Lewis took him out. Kinda sucked the season before too (17 TDs & 13 INTs, played all 16 games. 77 passer rating = meh). Wasn't really any good the season before that too (threw more picks than TDs that season). Belichick was gonna go to Brady anyway. Just like Justincharge said - He benched Bernie Kosar in Cleveland.

Quote Mar 8, 2001 — New England Patriot quarterback Drew Bledsoe signed the biggest contract in NFL history Wednesday, agreeing to a 10-year, $103-million deal .. Bruh.

Attended or watched almost every game they've played since the 80s (except during the dreadful blackout years when they weren't on TV because they couldn't sell out. But those were the years when I went to a lot of games). So just because he got a big contract that means he was good? Really? Jamarcus Russell may have something to say about that. Jeff Garcia to the Browns might chip in. Elvis Grbac to the Ravens might send a text. Matt Flynn to the Seahawks is going to call in. I've never really understood the Squeaky Fromme like devotion some Pats fans have for Bledsoe. He was a good QB who did some good things for the team at a time when they really needed it. I will always respect him for that and have a warm place in my heart for him because of that. But he lost it and sucked for his last 2.1 yrs in New England and wasn't very good thereafter, with his 1st season with the Bills being his best. But even that team finished just 8-8. He threw way too many picks and had, whether it's bad luck or bad execution, a remarkable tendency to throw some of those picks at the absolute worst times. Just game killing, chances of getting a win killing, interceptions, turnovers, and sacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bills ,management was known for their great decision making in those days. Definitely a barometer of Bledsoe's talent and not the Bills being desperate for a QB and not a well managed operation in those days. If all you got is "the biggest contract!!!", then you haven't swayed me at all. And yes, I 100% believe that if Mo Lewis hadn't taken him out, Bledsoe would have been benched that season. Probably within a game or two of when he got knocked out. Come on, you're questioning me on my Pats fandom, and you can't/don't see that Belichick doesn't play players who turnover the ball, especially at QB? Have you been in a coma for the last 20+ yrs? And he allowed Bledsoe to go to an AFC East team. He didn't seem to be too worried about facing him twice a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
