Comments on: Paton out of Browns G.M. mix, but reason isn’t clear http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/14/paton-out-of-browns-g-m-mix-but-reason-isnt-clear/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 19 May 2013 21:41:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: eaglebobby http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/14/paton-out-of-browns-g-m-mix-but-reason-isnt-clear/#comment-2261840 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:56:38 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1644956#comment-2261840 1. Joe Banner will be making all of the player picks, no matter who they install as GM. If any of you read Donovan McNabb’s last interivew, he said after Andy Reid took a leave of absence in 2007, Banner, as team president, more or less came in and took over and made all of the decisions, including the roster.

2. On one of our fan boards, we’ve got a guy on the there from Ohio that has said Banner has already made waves and scared away a couple of coaching applicants, telling them he was going to pick their assistant coaches. That belongs to the head coach, not the president of the team.

The Browns are shaping up as The Joe Banner Show, starring Joe Banner, produced and directed by Joe Banner. I don’t really see that as a good thing, but as long as he picks good players and the team actually starts winning games for a change, nobody will care.

Many candidates do not want the job “in name only”. I don’t see a GM overruling Joe Banner and that is not an attractive situation for any “would be” G.M.

Although there will be some debate about whether we should use McShay’s. I’m pretty sure Suntan Man wont win out though.

Aside from Holmgren’s “executive picks” he forced the Browns in to taking, there were some solid ones. I’m not excited about our next GM. I do like the new coach and staff though. Chud’s a good coach and a passionate Browns fan. Plus, he wants to be a head coach, not an offensive cord. with the title head coach. That alone is an improvement over Shurmer.

Go Browns!

One never knows……

By the way, what excuses did the Broncos use in their loss to the Ravens?

I was only one in a handfull that picked the Ravens to win….!! HaHaHa
