Browns cuts to 53

This guy nails it on Schwartz. Why is he even on the team when he adds nothing of value?
Pretty much what I was saying about him. He is just a guy that runs fast, big deal. There are plenty of guys out there that can run fast and maybe return punts or kickoffs, or maybe guys that can run fast and actually catch, maybe just not as fast. This guy is just taking up a roster spot.

Tia corrected me, and it's worth rehashing... John Ross set the combine record in the 40, and where is he now? From way back, my POV. If track speed was the only thing that mattered, Reynaldo Nehemiah (world record hurdler with a tryout with the 49ers) would be in the HOF.

Can he play WR or DT.
Lol, he does have a few ints. But he is a solid lb, would be an upgrade over Phillips/walker. If his knee is back to ?.

We're sentenced to the ego of the GM that fell in love with straight ahead speed only. This could end up causing a huge rift between Berry and Stefanski when/if Berry starts getting in his ear about any inconsistencies with the passing game.
Even worse, because he reached so bad on this guy - Andrew Berry has the mentality of "I'm going to show everyone who is right here." Well, good luck with that one because in your position you should be able to differentiate football players from non-football players. Right now a lot of our most talented players we have weren't drafted or brought here by him such as: Nick Chubb, Denzel Ward, Myles Garrett, Joel Bitonio, Wyatt Teller, Kareem Hunt and I'll reach a little adding DPJ.
This guy isn't only in our final 53 but he's being rewarded with reps with the starting line-up he's done ZERO to earn. That horrible message from the top trickles all the way down to the players especially if/when the top starts questioning consistency and attitude. Like the kid said in the movie Remember the Titans said "attitude reflects leadership!" We need that again in Cleveland like a pyromaniac needs a box of matches...

To be fair Flugs, JOK is a speed guy who Berry brought in that looked very, very good last year, and could easily be on that list of talented players.
But yes, Schwartz is only here because the guys who drafted him are still in charge.

Worthy of note - Thanks Dutch! Another young guy that looks like he has a very promising future ahead with us is CB Greg Newsome II.

I think some of us would be a little more understanding with Schwartz if he wasn't being crammed into our starting line-up - costing us the ability to extend drives. Even worse, as mentioned on the video - he doesn't offer this team 1 other function aside from dropping footballs and running himself into coverages DBs really appreciate.
This is going to be controversial but I gotta say it. Kenny Pickett was a 4 year starter with the same tiny hands that were supposed to make Joe Burrow a horrible pick. He went to a division rival at the 20th pick overall who already signed a previous 1st round pick (Trubisky) to be their starter while Pickett learns. If he turns out to be the real deal, there's going to be a TON of people wondering why the Browns didn't just keep Baker since they exercised the 5th year option (to be like Trubisky is right now) until Pickett is ready. I say this because the Browns were scheduled to draft before Pittsburgh. We made it so they didn't even have to make 1 trade up to land Pickett while we lost 3 first round picks and sentenced ourselves to 11 games with a backup QB. Believe it or not, I have previously mentioned I think Pickett was going to be a great draft pick for somebody.
Some may say hindsight is 20/20 but if someone wants to go down as a great personnel expert as a GM - you might want to make sure you've thoroughly researched the top QB prospects in every draft you're in charge of for your employer. I say foresight in the FO separates the contenders from the pretenders. The ONLY 1st round QB that panned out for this franchise in the Super Bowl era was Supplemental pick Bernie Kosar in 1985.

Funny, because up until the moment his name was called, I didn't realize how many boxes Kenny checked for my QB scouting preference.
- Height, weight
- Small(er) school. So you know he isn't being floated by 5star talent around him.
- Works in a multiple system with emphasis on pro style language and route concepts.
- isn't RPO dominant
- patience in the pocket and willingness to take calculated risks downfield
My early estimation is VERY favorable of Pickett. It would be in the Steelers best interest to start Trubisky, given their Oline situation. At that point, because of coaching and ownership stability, they can work to invest resources in the Oline through trade, FA and the draft, before handing Kenny the keys to the car. Saves getting your rookie 1st rounder from having his ass kicked.
The problem is projecting that far ahead and believing that talent will be there. Let's not forget that, at the start of their respective final seasons, Matt Barkley, Cardale Jones, Landry Jones, and a small group of others were thought of as high picks, until their flaws were exposed with further scrutiny.
Have I enjoyed the media circus and bringing on a questionable character like Watson? Hell no. However if he does at some point pick up where he left off from 2020, having the security of a young, franchise cornerstone is a luxury this team hasn't enjoyed since the early days of Bernie.... and I wasn't even alive then, for that perspective.
Could this all blow up in our faces? Sure, but any plan can. It's all a risk. The Browns went with the 'bet big, win big' this time around.

thing is (not that i like schwartz) is that we do not give up on are draft picks as past regimes did I mean it can be hard enough to hit on your picks but to just give up on them and not to develop them is it any wonder why we sucked for so long

Because this group drafted him and if they give up on him this quickly it makes them look bad. I guess it is better to you know play a hurt QB rather than a healthy one...... SMH. You cannot teach a guy how to catch a ball at his age. You either have the hands or you don't.

I actually have to disagree here. Teams give up on draft picks, and they should. Good teams do it all the time. You are thinking about the Browns of 5-15 years ago when the coaches and or front office was always turning over, so maybe then we gave up in some players to early because they were not the new regimes "guys". But with our front office stable we should get rid of people quickly if they are not worthy. We have much better talent and depth now. Does it make sense that Mike Harley is on the practice squad for example and Swartz is on the active roster. One played well during the preseason the other looked terrible. So who else with talent is not even on the team because we kept a guy who can't catch the ball?
Are you old even to remember Braylon Edwards well? Receivers who don't catch the ball need to go! Really catching the ball is most of their job. They can run a good route, use speed etc but if they don't catch the ball than it doesn't matter what else they do. Bill Belicheck wouldn't keep him around with him dropping balls like that.“The Wait Is Over, The Browns Will Be In The Playoffs This Year!" -

We owe a lot to Dorsey. A big part of the reason for our turn around. I like our front office now, just don't care for ownership.

Corey Coleman did make it two seasons here.
Doresey pulled the plug by trading him prior to a third season with the Browns.

He was part of our 3 Thug Receiver set. Him and his buddies beat somebody up one time. Another was in some fraud scheme of some sort. Credit cards maybe. And perhaps the 3rd was Josh Gordon? It was a while ago now.
Coleman has done some stints on practice squads. I think the Giants tried to get some use out of him.

u cannot teach a guy how to catch a ball at his age. You either have the hands or you don't.
Schwartz is a back burner project at best, he doesn't contribute anything to this team. He is not a good fit for this team. He is a better fit for someone like KC who has a wealth of talent and a franchise QB like Mahommes that they can bury him on the depth chart and try to develope him. Our QB situation is up in the air right now and we need as much contributors as possible. I seriously don't understand this front office. You keep a guy like Schwartz but cut Rosen who outplayed the designated Starter and then bring in ANOTHER qb. I thought Rosen played well enough to earn a spot and I wanted to see more of him. I just have a really bad feeling about this season.
