It's not exactly breaking news that the Browns are cheap.  The true irony in it though is, instead of just paying the piper at the first chance, they continue to kick the can down the road and between draft capital and below level replacements, end up paying more in the end then they would have originally.  This already has applied to Jesse Bates and DJ Reader and will happen again with Higgins and Chase.  Truly mind-boggling level of ineptitude from this front office.

This is why the FO should turn their ire to Tobin. Tobin’s screwed up the plan by not being able to draft the players to replace these stars. That’s why they  keep kicking the can. Hoping, wishing and praying the draft pick meant to replace  a star steps up. They haven’t. 

That’s not the fault of the coaches. Zac’s recent enough playoff success proves he can coach. It’s not just the teams (Bills) that you can say wet the beds in the playoffs. It’s coaches too. And 5-2 rather folks like it or not buys time. It could be worse. If winning a SB is really the goal. 

Zac’s the one that still has the power if he’d wield it. And he should. If the plan is to pay certain positions and rely on the draft to develop replacements then you have to draft good. Tobin is the fall guy. He should be. And Zac if he had any pull should remember he is the best they are probably going to get at HC, and he needs to threaten to quit! If only a power play to restructure the scouting department. 

Who else can force it if not Zac at this point?
