CLE is a disaster. Not completely fair.Judging by the Browns' success under Lombardi, I'm going to say, "no."
He was in Cleveland 1/18/2013 to 2/11/2014.
You're going to judge based on less than 13 months - - in which he fleeced the Colts with the Trent Richardson deal?
Not to mention no one knows what his actual responsibilities are.Pats drafting has been better since Pioli left. I think BB and Caserio work well together. There isn't a big enough sample size of Lombardi with the Pats to come to any real conclusion.
It was partly in jest, but it's not like his transactions with Cleveland are a collection of genius moves. Their draft that year is basically a washout, with the exception of Gordon who was a supplemental pick the year before. Feel free to scroll through their FAs and let me know if anyone jumps off the page for you.
And giving him credit for accepting the Richardson offer is like saying an agent who accepts a $3,000,000 bid on a $250,000 home is a great negotiator.
I'm not saying the guy is worthless, I just think you might be overstating his impact.
Or, for that matter, reaching an agreement to get $3,000,000 on a $250,000 house is not being a great negotiator?
If he's free to play and the money is low, not guaranteed, and incentive-laden, then I'm game. Dude is one drop of alcohol away from completely blowing it.Thinking way ahead here: but I hope Lombardi gets Bill to kick the tires on Josh Gordon in the off-season.
I believe he's a UFA.
With all the crazy success that Belichick has had in N.E. you have to wonder if his biggest achievement was getting the Browns a round into the playoffs.CLE is a disaster. Not completely fair.
Same scenario as a certain coach who ran that team in 1991-1995.

In any event, posters typically will come along and try to find someone they know nothing about to give BBs credit to. I don't know why, but its a hobby for some around here.
So, in summation, he gets the blame for the negative and no credit for the positive. (in a 13 month span)
That isn't even remotely what I said.
