Gart Monk Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 i guess thats why they bid on the pick and then cried "collusion" when STL went with the Redskins offer. That makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This explains why they tried to beat the offer the Rams had already accepted from us, only to be rebuffed. This also explains why they were so butt-hurt after the Rams told them no, and went with us. It all makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yup, sour grapes. The fact that they're still talking about it and inventing new excuses is telling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 i guess thats why they bid on the pick and then cried "collusion" when STL went with the Redskins offer. That makes sense. When did they claim "collusion"? Holmgren said he believed the relationships between Shanahan/Fisher and Allen/Demoff lead to us winning out. Different than collusion.

repo_4 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They offered the same deal we did, 2 firsts and a 2nd for a guy that's "too small" to play the position. Yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caretaker Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Weeden: Height: 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m)Weight: 222 lb (101 kg) Griffin: Height: 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m)Weight: 223 lb (101 kg) 2 inches shorter is "too small "? So small infact, that they would prefer a 28 year old rookie? With numerous holes in his game relative to Griffin? Revisionist history fits well.

TaylorPickSix Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They'll be picking first overall next year. Then they can explain how drafting Matt Barkley and taking QBs in the first round for back to back seasons was "in their plan all along". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellsHTTR Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 lol @ revisionist history] Much like how Holmgren assured the fans on a conference call that the Browns' bid to move up to #2 was "every bit" as good as ours, ignoring that their supposedly better offer was made after the deadline that the Rams had made clear to everyone interested, including the Browns. The Browns are gearing up for a disaster of a season. The QB "competition" between McCoy and Weeden is laughable (as Skins fans can appreciate). The Weeden pick itself was baffling; not that he's a bad QB, but how anyone can consider him an upgrade over McCoy--especially one worthy of a first-round pick--is beyond me. Then, whoever "wins" that competition still has no weapons to work with, as the Browns hardly did anything to upgrade their WR corps. Richardson is fantastic, but he'll still be a rookie behind an iffy OL, and the Browns' last-minute trade-up to pick him at #3 is a head-scratcher.

Tay Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 That's fine with me. Let them do whatever it takes to get fan support behind Weeden. RG3 is looking great in B&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyHTTR Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 "Grossi says Weeden has the strongest arm the team has seen in years and accuracy reminiscent of Bernie Kosar." The matter in which they are trying to sell this guy is quite comical and from what I've seen from tapes during Browns OTA's, im not eating the bullsh!t off the lobster platter. Colt will be the starter after the first Steelers game whether it be injury or incompetence. Book it! ---------- Post added June-6th-2012 at 10:07 AM ---------- Does anyone have taste for Brownies...

Last Fan Standing Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Grossi says Weeden has the strongest arm the team has seen in years and accuracy reminiscent of Bernie Kosar. Funny how this comes out soon after reports of "the Arm" start circulating. What a joke. ---------- Post added June-6th-2012 at 10:10 AM ---------- "Grossi says Weeden has the strongest arm the team has seen in years and accuracy reminiscent of Bernie Kosar."The matter in which they are trying to sell this guy is quite comical and from what I've seen from tapes during Browns OTA's, im not eating the bullsh!t off the lobster platter.

HeavyHTTR Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I was just thinking the same thing LFS actually. Im more interested in the fact that they have been somewhat hush on Trent Richardson's progression as an RB as well. I could definitely see the Browns flopping on two 1st rounders with Heckert and Holmgren running the show lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No matter what they tell themselves to feel better about taking a soon-to-be 29 year old QB in round 1, they're idiots. Browns are looking dumber by the day. Don't even get me started about taking a RB in the top-5 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 When did they claim "collusion"? Holmgren said he believed the relationships between Shanahan/Fisher and Allen/Demoff lead to us winning out. Different than collusion. I think what he meant by "collusion" was when Holmgren (or their GM, can't remember) basically said that it didn't matter what the Browns offered--that the Rams were only going to trade with the Skins, effectively taking the "free market" out of the equation and instead using a behind-the-scenes relationship to determine things. At the time a lot of people thought the Browns were trying to 'splain to their fans why they missed out on RG3. Anyway, as to the topic, I found it a bit insulting that they claimed Griffin was "eager to show how fast he was"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger187126 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 this guy that we had to settle for at the bottom of the first round was totally the guy we wanted all along. in other news, please disregard everything we've said before right now because it might conflict with what we're saying now. ~Browns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKOALSKIN Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They sound like a rejected teenage girl. Colt McCoy is 6'1 215 and Weeden is almost 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
