Quote:I wonder how many of those same Browns players concerned about Doug Marrone becoming the team's HC contributed greatly to the team finishing 3-13,  not to mention 0-5 down the stretch in the 2014 season.    Even with all of the issues in the Browns organization,  it's fair to say that at least some of the players didn't come close to playing to their football potential because of themselves.

This is brought up also in the culture thread.................coaches are starting to lose control of their locker rooms by the actions of a few players.


I hate to use my Pats as an example, but screw up with Coach B and you are toast, he has no second thoughts when it comes to cutting the cancer out. This doesn't work everywhere any more and I am beginning to think the days of the old school disciplinarian type coach are fading away. Outspoken players are getting their 15 minutes more and more!
