Well Kevin, you're an idiot. Enjoy the suckfest.

We haven't been much better the last 5 years. The Browns have been terrible but I think they might have the right people in place. Time will tell. That said, we aren't the Pats or anything

Who were they going to get? There was no one to get. All the pass rushers that might be available this season were under contract. There were only a few pass rushers in the last draft. We did draft Kikaha but he went down. I repeat, just who were they going to get? They did sign Kruger but who knew he would be so ineffective.

Flashback to 2013 Nonie. When Junya went banannas on the beach. 2014 was his last season in New Orleans.

YES, there has been plenty of DE talent available over the last three seasons.

Kika was drafted but somewhat miscast and with medical red flags. Kruger was a band aid last year and shouldn't even be in the discussion.

A snail is rather slow. He's slower than that.

How do ya know it was Anthony? How do ya know it wasn't the coaches? You don't go from having instincts to not having any in one season. And I'm not talking about his time in college. I'm talking about his rookie season. He did some good things and was pretty instinctive that season. For him to regress as much as he has, has more to do with coaching than anything else.

I am aware of when it was. I say again, who were they going to get? Please, enlighten me.

We didn't hesitate to waste or trade draft picks. We overpayed several free agents who didn't pan out.

I'd start there. But just about anyone would have been better than what we left ourselves with.
