You clearly do not understand how to troll. Again a valiant effort but hooked away as usual. We can always count on you to entertain us! :P Please come back for another. I'm taking numbers all day.
I haven't seen someone use that many emoticons since I got a text message from my 9 year old niece. Wait, is that you Samantha?
Really?!?!?! That's the best you got?
lighten up sam
That's Mr. or Mrs. Sam to you buddy! Pick which ever you want they both amuse me.
sure sam
You guys can talk about Arrelious Benn, Luke Stocker, Carl Nicks, Eric Wright, and whoever else you want, but clearly Dominik's biggest mistake was the mishandling of Luke McCown. He should have been fired immediately after that. He threw away a great QB for nothing.
Re-signing McCown before he hit free agency and then trading him to Jacksonville was shady, not to mention Leftwich and Johnson went a combined 0-8.
Dom was a pretty good capoligist. So, he did leave the cap in pretty good shape. I believe we have about 12mil in cap space. It beats being over the cap and your team sucks. Like the Cowgirls for instance. They are 33mil over the cap. Good job Jerry.
I want to experience what its like to be a Browns fan.
You did. 2009-2013.
Remind me what years Freeman was our QB again?
4-17 without him.
I'm curious: obviously you would have liked keep Freeman. How big of a contract do you think he deserved? 10 a year? 12? 14? More?
Never made the playoffs and he left the team 4-12 . Bottom line.
Since when does a GM take that blame? Part sure maybe 30-40% at most but the bulk is on the coaches. The players have been there to make the playoffs. Maybe by the skin of their teeth and with some luck but it was still possible.
Yo, using your logic, Rick McKay had little to do with the bucs success and Super Bowl and deserves little credit if marky mark Dominick deserves little blame for the bucs failures when the team missed the playoffs five straight years.

The blame is spread out, but so are the kudos.Glazers are to blame for hand picking unqualified head coaches and not leaving football operations to football people. But, they have opened up the wallet recently which we all appreciate.Dom is to blame for overpaying some marginal talent at the beginning of his career and then for star power at the end of it. But, he also worked the cap well and found some gems in the draft and on other teams practice squads.Rah is to blame for the buddy buddy attitude towards players that eventually led to the worst "give up" season I have seen. But, he was young, energetic and fun to listen to. (there might be more, Ive blocked out a lot from that era).Schiano is to blame for being a control freak and not realizing how much he was in over his head. But, he did clean out some bad locker room guys we needed to get rid of and our drafts were better with him around (be that coincidence or not).Players are to blame for coming to camp out of shape (Bowers), various off the field distractions (MWill/Talib/Bowers), and tanking (most all of them under RAH). But, last year at 0 wins they were still playing hard game after game.There is plenty of both to go around.
I haven't read all 6 pages, but saw how the first 2 went and think that some consider "pretty good shape" to be almost en par with Superbowl contender.Yes there are holes, but he has put some good pieces in place and the salary cap looks pretty good. Unlike for example the Saints? Argue about the merits of some of the signings and contracts by all means, but when he walked out the door he didn't leave a total cluster for his successor which happens on oh so many occasions. So overall, yes I think for once Yasinskas is pretty on the ball that Dom left the Bucs in "pretty good shape". Not "great" shape, or "bad" shape, but "pretty good".
Sorry, but consistently having plenty of cap space isn't synonymous with good management... especially when the team has lacked depth. What happened to all that rollover cap space that Bruce Allen left? Hint: There was no cap in 2010.

So you would rather have no cap space? Most teams dont get depth through spending, they get it through drafting which we have only done well the past couple years. Silver linings man.

No cap in 2010 but teams were hit with penalties for spending too much later. Good thing we didn't fall into that trap like you would have liked.

I'd say a good manager is one who can deal with cap issues, not hide from them.

I would agree, but I think Dom did a good job dealing with those cap issues. I mean, after spending big the last three years and still having rollover cap space coming in, not sure how he doesnt get some credit for that. The only one I can think of that dances that cap line amazingly is Ozzie Newsome. New England, Denver, Pittsburgh, New Orleans are all feeling negative cap affects right now and are either still digging that hole or trying to climb their way out.

I wouldn't have re-signed him yet, I would have put him in rehab.

I'm sure those teams will "manage" their ways out of those negatives, too.
