AFJF Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Looks like La Canfora wrote an article based on a "source" with the Browns who told him how unhappy everyone in the building is, and about the tension between Pettine and GM. The source told La Canfora that the GM is trying to coach the team and get involved in play calling as well. First round pick QB in rehab and stud WR suspended for more substance abuse program violations. Derpsciplinarian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It talks about how the owner is crazy and the GM wants to call the plays. Pettine comes out looking squeaky clean...how odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 People are unhappy in Cleveland? I am shocked! Article is not that coherent. The coach's handpicked quarterback, Johnny Manziel, is in rehab friction growing between Farmer and rookie head coach Mike Pettine throughout the 2014 season. It became clear that the front office wanted Manziel -- the owner's boy -- playing sooner and put pressure on the staff to make the change from Brian Hoyer. Manziel's rookie season could not have been more disappointing -- to the point where now Haslam is plotting trading up to draft Marcus Mariota this spring, sources said -- and Manziel's presence in Cleveland is born of Haslam, sources said. The owner wanted to make a splash, add some pop to his franchise, sell some tickets and jerseys. "That was a business decision," said one source with direct knowledge of the situation. "That's on the owner." Pettine was largely a non-factor in the quarterback-drafting decision, I assume the first one is a typo? Who is he blaming? The coaches? The GM? The owner? D. All of the above?

It seems like circus-like controversy always follows Ryan and his "tree" Wow some people will use any excuse to take a shot at Ryan. How does this reflect on Rex? If anything Pettine was making veiled comments about Rex during his first year and when he left the Jets organization the cancer went with him And since when does Rex have a 'tree'?

I'm pretty sure he's done nothing to suggest he's better than Rex at anything. His team fell apart and lost their last 5 games after being in a tie for first place. That's really unimpressive.

Most were expecting worse due to the talent level on the team. The Browns had much better talent than the Jets at just about every position.

Jet9 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 They really did sh*t the bed at the end of the year. That said, there's veryvfew things worse than a meddling GM.

I guess now that he's in charge he doesn't feel like players have to earn anything anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Hoyer was hurt and also stunk at times last year had nothing to do with starting manzel i'm sure. Also actually making a Qb change is a whole other world than Rex's world.
