Speaking your mind is fine..I do it all day long however the way your message gets delivered and received absolutely affects its meaning. From my original post this is what I was stating. You can have men want to follow you because they believe in you or they will follow you because they need to (or have to) This is not to say you can't be successful and win but in team settings the most minuscule distraction can lead to failure. That's why coaches pay attention to the feeling of the locker room. Just look at how many truly talented players get moved on out because of personality. Not saying this happens to Rosen, just that he has a higher chance of causing issues than the others. And if he was naturally more even keeled then I think he may have gone higher. And to don't think Allen is a robot- I think he's genuinely who he presents to be

From what I have read and seen that is my take, hence "my belief. Rosen has had personality red flags all his career and Allen has not. From my experience dealing with thousands of people on a somewhat intimate level the Rosen personality type tends to be as I described and Allen also. This is not based on skillset just personality and leadership style. Maybe I'm wrong maybe not.

My belief is that talent aside, players will be led by Allen because they will want to follow him. He will earn that following which creates a true team. On the other hand players will follow Rosen because they have to more based on the position. Huge difference on the overall performance of the unit, especially when it comes to those games needing everyone pulling at 110%

But with a tag line of, "Aim small, miss small" wowing everyone how could Rosen possibly be a bust? Darn I wish he was ours...(sarcasm) Go Allen!

I had a good time last Christmas eve at the game but understand why you wouldn't go that often. Gets a bit obnoxious. I've never had a real problem there other than a bit of shoving at times. Much worse at the Jets games in my opinion.

Christmas time in NE with my family of Pat's fans....HO HO HO. Looking forward to Allen and co. Hanging 34 on them with our D crushing Tommyboy to tears?

Exactly!

I agree with that 90% of the time. Sometimes people decide on things impossible to control such as location etc. How that affects attitude and performance cannot be accounted for.

Maybe the rocket surgeon could prescribe something...?

Ditto

I see what you did there

Dying laughing. This is why I read TSW every day.

Wow your undying love of TT is truly something to behold. No looney tune here but if I was TT's manager I'd be having that exact conversation with him. You know your out in Buffalo so what do you have that makes you desirable. Certainly not your YPG passing. The playoff game was a true showing of what level player he is. Solid backup but nothing more. As for having nobody to throw to seems lots of great QBs make great receivers out of unknown talent. TT doesnt do that because of his skill level. Plain and simple. Also please feel free to read my list and comment on what I said not what you didn't read.

I think the simplest reason of all has been overlooked. TT knew he was gone after last year, before the season even started. The only thing he had was his stat sheet and his scrambling to market when he left. You can say all you want that he had nobody to pass the long ball to but its a poor crafstman that blames his tools. These are all NFL pros, so with an even balance of talent spread across any and all teams reciever to defender matchups werent always against us. TT just refused to ruin the only truly marketable asset he had. Again great teammate, great guy, great work ethic... but average at best skillset. THis was so apparent in so many games when he flat out didnt attempt the passes to wide open receivers. Maybe I cant blame the guy with millions of dollars on the line, but it made for really bad football. Needless to say the TT era is over, an new one begins and we will all see what happens with the Browns to prove or disprove our respective points.

Seemed like it, and not saying he isnt. If he was soley brought in to team BM how to be a good guy and good teammate then the Browns are in tons of trouble, as those are things that shouldt need to be taught at this level. My point is that everyone knows BM will be starting sooner than later, so dont try to cover the real story with BS.

All of these quotes are so canned and contrived its rediculous. What would he say? That the guy he wants to replace is a total A$$hat and hasnt shown him squat? Just pure stupidity "What he means to this franchise..." after a whopping few months he means that much? Well if he means that much than youll never see the field Mayfield. Cant wait for the season to begin so we can end the insanity and marketing pushes.

"The ball could be getting there faster simply because his noodle arm is more al dente than last year..." This has to be the best line I've read all year!

He provided some, just not enough!

Absolutely can't stand this guy. Such an arrogant asshat. Hasn't changed from his days of crashing motorcycles and allegedly raping girls. With Gronk back maybe he'll give him the elbow

As a new owner it's All about managing variables. If you change everything immediately you have no baseline. Also maybe some people were constrained by the former management but will shine with the new. Who knows but having the Rex debacle, which did buy time and generate interest set them up for real and astute leaders. Well played in my book and thank goodness too! Now let's hope it continues and this draft gets us where we want to go!

Maybe Dunkirk Dan and Dunkirk Don were at a high level business meeting and that's where they heard it. Twinzy news now!

Honestly don't see the comparison at all. And I think its easy to confuse character issues with confidence-which obviously Rosen has. Eli comes across as just goofy but confident, no.

Wow a bit aggressive don't you think?

OMG does this mean the season is over??

Wow, did Sammy Watkins pull you from the edge?
