Grossi on The State of the Browns as the Season Comes to a Thud

Dutch, I've watched countless snowy, windy Patriots games on TV with Brady at QB. He was able to pass his team to victory every time.

Well enjoy that table of one at the "I'm Enjoying the Direction the Browns Braintrust Is Taking the Franchise" end of the season dinner. ?

Look, I don't know what to say here. Of course I don't like the losing. But this team was not about this year. We weren't gonna have our starting QB until the season was almost over. Do I like that we're the 5th best running team in the league? Absolutely. Do I like that we're always 20 somethingth in passing. Absolutely not! I've always felt that passing is the most important part of the game. Am I kinda' happy to hear that the brain-trust wants to be able to pass the ball? Well, of course.

Some of these people seem to ignore that we are maybe 4th or 5th in the league in rushing attempts, yet all they say is "run the ball, run the ball". They are beginning to sound like the Rainman.

The Browns went 4-7 this season not because Jacoby Brissett had to start 11 games (they averaged just a click under 24 points a game with him as the starter) but because the defense and special teams repeatedly let the team down. Brisset was a top 10 rated QB.
But yes, I agree, passing the ball well is important. Absolutely you need a top tier passing attack, hence why the Browns moved on from Mayfield to Watson. Also, the Browns run the ball plenty, as does Chubb. I'm not one of those guys who think the Browns should run Chubb into the ground by giving him the ball 25-30 times a game.
But their in-game decisions leave A TON to be desired. The weather is awful to pass in, you have a pivotal 3rd and 2 and 4th and 2, and Watson is forced to throw to DPJ on at out pattern to the sideline 15 yards downfield? Seriously?

Snowy doesn't necessarily mean wind chills of 15 below zero off the lake. I remember 1 year the SD Chargers had the best passing offense in the NFL with Dan Fouts. They went and played a playoff game at Cincy with wind chills well below zero; and their passing game flatlined because of it. If you're old enough to have seen that game you know exactly what I'm talking about.
When you think about the career of Aaron Rodgers, the only time he won a Super Bowl was when the Packers were a Wild Card team that won all their playoff games on the road. I think the only chilly game they had to win was at Chicago in the NFC Championship Game against a very rattled Jay Cutler (who got injured before halftime and never returned to the game when a lot of people questioned his toughness).
NE is owned by Robert Kraft and the Browns are owned by Jimmy Haslam. Which guy do you trust to find the right leadership for his football team? A lot of people forget Brady didn't even start as a rookie; but there was a great HC that understood what needed to go into his development process for success ahead. Haslam doesn't have anything like this in place.

I watched it on what they used to call the color tv. And 2 huge doors mysteriously opened allowing wind to blow into the field whenever San Diego was on that end of the field.

just not sure which direction haslem will go to for another head coach ?
From what we've seen, he'll want someone who'll do it his way...DePodesta's way. Haslam likes it that way. So, that right there limits your pool. We have a pretty smart, articulate coach that seems to be able to align with Berry and cope with the system. He might be the best fit for the situation. I don't know how much better a coach Haslam and DePo could land...but they could sure fuck it up

And this way we can really confirm that 2020 was an aberration.

Spot on. That means they're not at all interested in Sean Payton for anyone thinking that far out of the box.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

If they turn Watson into a bad QB, I could finally see Haslam replacing Depodesta and Berry with Cheech and Chong.

At least they don't have the dummy Quarterback Whisperer around to totally screw him up.

And on flip side, there isn't a chance in hell Sean Payton would put up with Moneyball telling him how to coach.
