  1. It's a capital crime that you have Tom Coughlin ahead of Mangini for worst coach. I know it's more maddening for you following every play of the G-Men and thus you have a more negative view on Coughlin, but trust me as a Browns fan that Mangini is a fucking joke. He lost his team after the second game! He's ruined any chance that Quinn had of developing plus he's spearheaded us shipping off Edwards and not taking Sanchez in order to take Mangini's mediocre Jets retreads.

    Also, Brett Favre should be ahead of Bush for comeback player. No question. Just because Bush has put together a decent game or two doesn't mean he's been better than Favre, who's had a renaissance season and has played nearly flawless ball.

  2. Carter, I hear you on Mangini, but I think that Coughlin has done less with what he's been given than El ManGenius. Coughlin has blown games where Mangini has merely made sure Cleveland would not stay competitive. Still, the Browns have acquired enough draft picks next year (Kokonis) to show some promises of a future. He's failed, but not in the same way as Coughlin. For comeback? Bush came back from more in my opinion and has excelled equally to Favre. It's a tossup.
