I talked today to a couple of friends of mine associated with the Browns (in the past and present) and they were both ecstatic about this move. I mean I was surprised how delighted they were. They said Banner was not a football guy at all, and Lombardi was mediocre. They both said this is the best thing that's happened to the team in years

I'm not saying they are bad moves, but firing somebody after one year on the job is moronic. Why even hire them to begin with if you are doubting their ability to begin with.

Hell, any GM that gets a 1st rounder for Trent Richardson is doing alright in my book....lololol

I have a Browns fan friend who is excited about the move. He feels that Banner and Lombardi were the biggest problems all along.

What I don't get is, why now? Why not have completely cleaned house when they let Chud go? Although eliminating Banner and Lombardi may be the right move, the timing leaves the Cleveland FO looking chaotic and dysfunctional.
