The Browns: Staying the Course and Other Dumb Ideas

I generally try to ignore the Browns these days. For the good of everyone's retina's they should forfeit the rest of their games to avoid tv exposure. Fortunately Peter King came along with usual sophomoric nonsense which amounted to many of the horrible teams - specifically the Browns - should stay the course. Any reason why? Any evidence? Of course not. That would mean old Petey would need facts. The facts in the Browns case is that they are a horrific team...32nd in defense and 31st in offense. Out of 35 QBs Derek Anderson ranks 35 in QB rating. That's 7 points below Jamarcus Russel or the difference between Kurt Warner and Seneca Wallace. It's not just relatively bad to other teams this year. This Browns team currently is worse in nearly every statistical category to the 1999 expansion team. After turning over 50% of the players grown up version of August Gloop has turned the Browns not only worse than the 4-12 team last year but worse than the 1999 expansion team (which I believe had several dead people starting on the offensive line). I don't particularly know why Mangina has failed to reach the lofty heights of mediocrity he had in Jetsville...maybe its the control of personnel, maybe its nobody will work with him so he needs Oakland Raider cast off coaches, maybe its all a secret ploy to move the Browns down to Florida (that's a Major League reference for those taking it literally) ....don't know. But if I'm concern trolling for the owner I see blacked out games on the horizon and a Mangina led organization that has performed horribly. To quote Pat McMannamon, if I realize 1/3 of the way through painting my house its the wrong color I don't keep painting. I stop and get the right color. Lerner made a huge mistake in hiring Mangini, he shouldn't compound the mistake by letting Mangini continue to erode whatever popular support remains in the city.
