So this is it? 30 years of Browns level futility and embarrassment and trading MIcah was the straw that broke the camels back? Fuck these "fans."

They will all be back if it works out!
If Micah busts his knee in week one, then what?
I recall when people said they were no longer fans when Tom Landry was fired. Trading Micah is nowhere near that traumatic.
In the end, all that will matter is how it plays out. Will Schotty be a Jimmy? A Landry. Who knows. Give it time.
This is interesting given what happened.

I think maybe you took what is in the video and the comments differently from me. I basically took it to mean that maybe Micah is part of the problem.

Yeah never really got the "I'm not a fan of the team anymore because such and such player was traded or let go etc etc!!!
I'm a fan of the team (as hard as it is after the last 3 decades of the asswipe Jones'). The Landry thing certainly stirred high emotions with 1000's of people but that was a little different. Honestly Jones was really in a no win situation there but even he says he regrets to this day how it was ultimately handled. Hindsight is 20/20, but Bum Bright and Tex Schramm probably should have been the ones delivering the news to TL anyway. I think I remember Gil Brandt touching on this some too.
But the players who come and go are no big deal to me. If they go elsewhere I don't like them anymore. Whomever we replace said player with, I'll cheer for.
Parsons can eat shit and die for all I care now, the way he and his agent handled this was pathetic. He's a class A turd in my book and I'll never change my mind on it. I hate Jones now as much as anybody (well maybe except for Yim) but after all we have learned about this situation, it's apparent to me that the media and some fans should cut Jerry some slack here. He was telling the truth the whole time and nobody believed him.

Little bit of research today on our new OL addition Trevor Keegan.
Played for Harbaugh at Michigan (Harbaugh also put in a waiver claim like we did). Looks like a few teams tried to claim him but we had the earlier priority.
Weight: 310 pounds
Arm Length: 32 3/8’’
Hand Size: 10"
Accomplishments:
All-Big Ten (2023, 2022, 2021) • Joe Moore offensive lineman (2022, 2021) • Team Captain (2023)
“A physical specimen in the trenches, Trevor Keegan has the size, mentality, and skill set that NFL decision-makers yearn for.”
Strengths:
Trevor Keegan is one of the most decorated offensive linemen in this year's class. A two-time Joe Moore winner (first ever back-to-back) and a three-time All-Big Ten selection, Keegan epitomizes everything Michigan football has been the last several seasons.
When watching Keegan’s film, his power and strength is obvious. At the point of attack, he can seamlessly generate power with his hands and footwork and then climb defenders with his hips to displace them. When working on double teams as both a post and drive blocker, these same techniques come to fruition and make him one of the most effective zone/duo blockers in this IOL class.
For Keegan, perfecting his technique at the next level will consist of lowering his pad level and maintaining a strong posture throughout the phase of his block. On some occasions where he was beaten, Keegan would rise up off the snap, whereas you’d like to see him maintain more leverage, especially given his natural height which makes it more difficult. At the second level, Keegan is incredibly patient and collected. He frames up defenders well and stays composed against twitchy linebackers.
In pass protection, Keegan plays with strong instincts. His awareness and focus mask some of the physical disadvantages he faces from more athletic DL. This IQ becomes especially important against gap exchange stunts, where Keegan passes off and catches slanting and looping linemen very well. He plays aggressively, bringing the fight to his defenders with a quick and deliberate strike. He counters inside moves well with a strong catch hand and blends his short area quickness with his brute power to create an immovable force between the bumpers.
Keegan will be a serviceable lineman to stash on most NFL rosters at the next level. While he may not separate himself as a day-one starter, his skill set is what every offensive line segment needs in their room.

- 2021: Honorable Mention All-Big Ten Conference. Played in 13 games with 11 starts at LG. Team won Joe Moore Award as the nation's top OL.
- 2022: First-team All-Big Ten Conference. Started 11 games at LG. Team won Joe Moore Award as the nation's top OL.
- 2023: Second-team All-Big Ten Conference. Started all 15 games at LG for the national champions. Team captain.

“A physical specimen in the trenches, Trevor Keegan has the size, mentality, and skill set that NFL decision-makers yearn for.”
Strengths:
- Size/mass and overwhelming power at the point of attack
- Strong fundamentals and efficient footwork
- Tough and experienced/NFL-ready
- Length and athletic profile
- Pad level rises too high on occasion in run game
- Potentially scheme and position-specific

Eagles claimed Lampkin., which is why they cut Keegan
"It was surprising to see that the Eagles initially kept Keegan since he was a healthy scratch for all but one game last season and he didn’t perform well in practices and preseason games this summer."
