His best 1st round pick was probabaly Robert Gallery who pick over Big Ben When oakland needed a QB.
Gallery end up moving from LT to LG and becoming a journeyman middle of the road guard.
There are guys on boards that I go to/contribute I'd want hired befor this a$$ clown.
This SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the draft I want a new GM on. |
He had no say in the Oakland War Room.
As Grossi said in his latest hit-piece on Lombardi (a must read: CLICK HERE), his only talent was "memorizing heights, weights, 40 times and scouting reports written by others". |

Al Davis was the GM of the Raiders, I'm not really sure what Lombardi actually did for Raiders back then...I'd be suprised if anyone really knows 
But yeah, this would be a great time to have Heckert making the picks.

dude lol
IIRC when Tony Grossi got fired from the PD, Lombardi at PFW stuck up for him (as he's one of the contributors)
Tony Grossi apparently does not feel the same way
lol first thing I've liked out of Grossi's mouth in years

THIS IS WHY I WAS PISSED LERNER WAS SELLING

Michael Lombardi GM
Nick Saban HC
Someone's got Browns 95 on the brain... |
PLEASE GOD KEEP HECKERT!!!!!
[conspiracy theory] Saban is leaving Bama'/SEC after he wins the Natl Championship to come to Cleveland which is why Bret Bielema is leaving Wisconsin to join Arkansas and the SEC...Power shift[/conspiracy theory]
No really though...
I would love to see Arizona fire Whisenhunt and the Browns to pick him up. He took the Cards to the superbowl with a 30+ year old QB...And if Dallas fires Jason Garrett, I say that is your new OC. Hate to see Jauron go, but I cant see him being retained.
HC - Ken Whisenhunt
OC - Jason Garrett
DC - Mel Tucker

That coaching lineup would be excellent. Unfortunately, I think your conspiracy theory is much more likely

He is going to be the sole decider of who stays?
That's the way he made it sound. Jimmy Haslem seems like a great guy and extremely committed, but I'm already uncomfortable with the Banner hire. He was chased out of Philly and has VERY spotty football credentials. Haslem is clearly a lovable guy with great business success, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be immune to mistakes. |

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.
I didn't think Lerner was a good owner, I thought he was mediocre at best but I appreciated his willingness to accept he had no idea how to manage a team and that he knew he had to delegate. This just created so much uncertainty in a time that for once it seems like we have been able to draft correctly (although I hate the product on the field). But at least we had one thing right...now? Who knows.... |

since 99 we've never had a DL this good, we've only had a OL this good once (2007), and a sad to say, but a QB undoubtedly this good once or twice (2007 and 2002--- cant remember couch in 01)
and we're freaking young
IMO this team has no where to go but up, and had Holmy seen another year here, I think they woulda made the playoffs under his presidency

Agree with everything you said.
We have never been in a better spot to take the NFL by storm. But it can still go either way. I so hope we keep Heckert.
As far as Couch as a QB goes. He is IMO easily the best we have had since we came back. I remember him and he was good but had rubbish around him.
I wish there was away to go back in time and see what would of happened to Couch had he gone to the eagles and we selected McNabb instead.
I think Couch wins a superbowl/s with the eagles.

Just to touch on a little of what MBTL said give our defense one more offseason of adding some studs and they could be special next year. Give us a thoroughbred stud RDE and a solid #2 CB and they will be a force. I can live with a hole at safety.

The more I think about it, the more I'd be happy to see the offense convert to a zone blocking scheme. Richardson is extremely patient and he has the ability to hit the hole with authority when it's actually there. I feel like he'd be tailor made for that type of system. Not only that, but it causes defenses to stay on their heels because they don't know if a run or pass is coming.
We already have a fairly athletic OL with Thomas and Mack, and we're likely going to be looking at some guards in the very near future. What do you guys think about the ZBS? |

ZBS? Ive been for it for a long time... well before Mangini came to town.
It just makes sense to me. Every position on the field is getting more athletic and the speed of the players and the game continues to increase. IMO, sticking with the traditional fat slow OL will only lead to failure.

I am very happy that this information leaked out. If it is true and they still hire them after hearing what this fanbase thinks, we know what direction the team is going and ticket sales will fall.
Thanks to the local media, any potential deal should be dead.

I for one hope the ownership doesn't listen to the fan base at all - that's was one of Lerner's big problems, IMO. I do hope they listen to their common sens, and don't even go anywhere near interviewing Lombardi, let alone offering him a job; not because we are outraged, but because no sane football mind would conceive of him being a better GM than Heckert.
