Fans, Media, Chick-Fil-A Have All Seen Enough of Browns

When asked to explain what he would like to see from his team, first-year Browns head coach Eric Mangini offered this: "Aggressive, intense, tough, physical, finishing ... consistency, execution (editor's note: I'm in favor of it!), communication ... good, solid, sound, fundamental, tough football. Physical football. Intense football. That's what I want every week."

He made these comments shortly after the Browns lost their sixth game in seven tries, this one a steady-as-she-goes 31-3 defeat to the Packers. Last month, after an 0-3 start, fans started an online petition begging owner Randy Lerner to sell the team. Nothing came of it, so the sights have been set a little lower: fire Mangini. This time the Akron Beacon Journal's Patrick McManamon is leading the charge.

The Browns have been humiliated on the road in Baltimore and Denver, embarrassed at home by the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers. They lost by three to the Cincinnati Bengals then won by three in Buffalo.

Imagine - the highlight of the season is a three-point win over the Bills, when the starting quarterback completed two passes.

The two quarterbacks have regressed to the point that they don't resemble the guys who played the previous two seasons. All the Browns have done with Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn is destroy their trade value.

It's so bad, in fact, that McManamon suggests giving the job to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Not because he's done something to earn the gig (he even admits that the "defense has been terrible") but because "it can't be worse."

And I think that's right. When Chick-fil-A is calling you out, it's probably a good sign you need to blow the whole thing up and start over. Again.

So, Sam Bradford, hope you like Northern Ohio because you're gonna be Cleveland's next franchise quarterback.
