I'm trying to find this twit's name, but he was on ESPN with Steven A Smith Wednesday. I will call him Rhonny Barrett, for reasons which will become obvious.
The topic was Manziel vs McCown. Rhonny feels that Pettine and Farmer are desperately trying to save their jobs from Hair Trigger Haslam, but have little hope of doing so, since everybody on offense around the quarterback is so terrible.
The wide receivers are a bunch of undrafted guys except for Benjamin, who isn't bad but not great either.
Joe Thomas is a great player, but the rest of the offensive line are turnstiles.
He laughed at Isaiah Crowell.
The offensive line reference requires no further comment, as all by itself it vaults this to the all-time dumbest analysis.
I've rarely read or heard any analysis that didn't have something right in it. This one only manages to get a couple things maybe 33% right.
Crowell hasn't been great so far this season, but he's been okay. Duke Johnson is on this team as well.
Two of the wide receivers were undrafted, but even if there were more, a lot of undrafted wide receivers and running backs are exceptional.
Say what you will about Dwayne Bowe, but Brian Hartline is a BIG asset to any team.
I saved this part: Pettine and Farmer were opposed to drafting Manziel and were ordered to do so by Hair Trigger Haslam.
This is a steaming pile of LaCanfora. It's quite possible that Mike Pettine didn't like the pick, but went along with it.
Guys like this abhor vacuums. When they see holes or gaps, they leap over them, arriving at predetermined conclusions.
Dysfunction. Power struggles. DRAMA.
Jimmy Haslam isn't running for office. He said that continuity is important, and he likes Mike Pettine. He's from the Steelers organization and is a businessman.
He didn't force anybody to draft anybody. He lets professionals do their jobs. He wants the Browns to be like the Steelers.
The rest is gossip and crap.
And shame on Steven A Smith for not knocking Rhonny Barrett's b.s. out of the park.
Now, I dare anybody to find a dumber analysis.
