We lucked out that Farmer took his name out of running, the Browns are a mess. Texting the sidelines for better play calls - REALLY??? His 2 first Rd picks aren't looking so good at the moment. Gilbert was benched in favor of an undrafted rookie & a 4th rounder I believe & I read yesterday that he was late for meetings & stuff like that. Then you have Manziel & truly hope he gets things worked out for his health but not sure he is an NFL QB & it appears the Browns feel that way as well.

From James Walker:
It's interesting the #Dolphins wanted #Browns GM Ray Farmer for their opening last yr. Farmer reportedly sent texts to coaches during games.

1:42pm - 4 Feb 15

i like what Hickey has done so far & look forward to seeing his plan for 2015.
 
Not so happy he made our shortlist (as I recall, the rumor was Ross offered him the job and Farmer turned him down).

Let's see, Ray Farmer (textgate), Lake Dawson (fired), Jason Licht (2014 Bucs -- worst team in football) and Dennis Hickey (stripped of his administrative duties).

Who in the name of Jesus tapdancing Christ put that list together? Lloyd Christmas?
 
you need more than better play calls with manziel under center :lol:

Well we did have one good candidate that turned us down in Caserio so one out of five isnt so bad lol
 
Sounds like Farmer might get **** canned if the Browns get a severe punishment.

The Browns could end up receiving a fine, suspension and/or a loss of a draft pick for this situation.
Jeremy Fowler believes Farmer’s role in all of this could leave him on hot seat, as credibility may damaged beyond repair.
The NFL’s investigation could lead to some or all of Farmer’s text messages eventually being released.
On top of that, Farmer was the one who traded back to get Justin Gilbert, despite the fact that they had their pick of Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr, and later moved up to get Johnny Manziel.
Gilbert wound up putting together an extremely disappointing rookie season, but there are major concerns about whether or not Manziel will ever be an NFL quarterback.
Fowler has spoke to league sources who believe the Manziel pick wasn’t driven by Farmer, even though it will always be his pick.
Earlier in the day, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wonders if Farmer could end up being the “fall guy” in the end for owner Jimmy Haslem.
“The best evidence as to whether Farmer is simply the fall guy could come from whether his employment continues once the decision on discipline is announced,” Florio writes. “If owner Jimmy Haslam doesn’t fire Farmer for his role in #TextGate (especially after Farmer drafted Johnny Manziel at a time when the Browns knew or should have known that Manziel was a ticking time bomb), some (such as me) will suspect that Haslam is displaying loyalty to the guy who absorbed the #TextGate bullet.”
For what it’s worth, Florio wrote a few days ago that NFL teams could target Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff now that new HC Dan Quinn will have final say over the team’s roster.

Looks like farmer made a bad career choice, bet he's kickin himself in the azz now.
 
As soon as I heard the Browns were interested in Manziel I knew we dodged a bullet. Any GM willing to put his job on the line with that QB in the first round is not anyone we need running this team.
