Is Cribbs Now Expendable?

The Browns Board

  • Sj ....silverback isn't that far off base. Perhaps ur really missing who the idiot is.

    Take off the rose colored glasses and look at our roster objectively. Watson is a satisfactory te....Moore has good hands, sure....but look who is throwing the ball. Young and inexperienced....not a playmaker in the wr corps at all. Vickers isn't a playmaker....he's a blocker. Hillis slowed with injuries. No other rbs to mention.

    U talk about what COULD be....he was only saying what is. Could a wr be acquired to help draw coverages? Sure....depends who though. Outside of green in the draft, just who steps in at the position and makes our wr corps a threat? Speaking in terms of what positive could happens ignores the possibility robo could continue to suck, cribbs never accels, momass regresses, Mitchell never gets it and green never lives up to the hype. McCoy was 2-6....temper the enthusiasm until anyone of them prove they can actually produce results.

    If this team had playmakers, we would be better than 5-11 the past 3 seasons. Now we are installing new systems on both sides of the ball, with a reduced amount of time to complete it with the lockout. If u think shits gonna magically get better this year, u very well may be the idiot here. The difference between ur best case scenario argument and what actually is.

    You just provided a quality example of how Brown fan doesn't even

    know what playmakers ever are. A "playmaker" is a player who can

    make huge plays (usually TDs) in situations where "non-playmakers"

    could not make the play - you know, like, such athleticism that they

    go 80s yards on THEIR pure ability. A plugging FB running a 2-yard

    TD DOES NOT QUALIFY. Ben Watson's lumbering catch and runs do NOT

    QUALIFY. The above ramblings clearly demonstrate that you are

    clueless in your attempt to even grasp what being a playmaker

    even means.

    Actually the fact that you tried running down the Browns team in a post 2 days ago that got deleted shows your here trolling.

  • @silverbackattack said:

    No, I posted a factual analysis of how CLE is behind the 8-ball

    with the lock out and it got deleted b/c too many in here have

    the tenacity of a crystal glass. Brown fan, by in large, tends

    to put their heads in the sand and avoid reality, if reality

    paints a picture that isn't gum drops and cotton candy about

    the Browns. It's kind of sad. But having lived off the shores

    of Lake Erie for many years, I witnessed this first hand with

    a plethora of repeat instances showcasing this trend.

    No your post was insulting and degrading to the team and the fan base. And you posted it through the lense of s Steelers fan that wanted to run down the Browns organization. That is why it was deleted. There was nothing unbiased about your post what so ever. If it was such a great post the mods would nout have deleted it no matter how many Browns fans responded to it. The post was plain insulting. Get over yourself troll. Your scribblings smell like Homotron.

  • sniveling hack, give it a rest. You squeeler trolls play like you can be intimidating online like

    you and your bandwagoners think your team is.

    Wrong on both counts.

    Exactly! Doesnt he sound like Homtron or slurp burp?

    Sorry. I can't hear you. I got six Super Bowl rings

    blocking your whining from my ears. Quit being such

    cowardly pucks. Hiding from reality is no way to go

    through life.

    Trolling on your rivals board in the off season isnt either you moron. Oh and I will put the Browns 8 NFL championships up against your 6 NFL championships any day you pathetic excuse.

    Only 6 rings? Call us when you reach halfway to our 13.

  • With change in the kick off rule, does this make Cribbs expendable? Will Heckert and Holmgren look at possible trades now to fill another hole with the trade of Cribbs once the new CBA starts?

    He was expendable before last season startred and always expendable .....SINCE HAD NO OFFENSE during those times.....

    Building and rebuilding a winner is the objective.........not having great KICK returners for a LOSER

    BTW, I made a statement more than a year ago to trade Cribbs when he had great value.........hate to say it I wuz right again

    are you posting as choco or are you posting under your steeler troll alias, "slurp and burp"?

    whatever the case may be, i'm not the only one in this thread that isn't counting cribbs out. and how exactly can i have rose colored glasses on when i'm not guaranteeing cribbs will be a beast? i'm simply explaining why you can't count him out. there's a difference, you know. so why don't you take off your doom and gloom glasses and get your head out of a steeler trolls' a*s and try to be more objective? or just keep being capt. doom and gloom. once again, i never said cribbs was going to light it up next season. i just said don't count him out yet or you can continue to be nostradamus and come back here pounding on your chest playing the "i told you so" game if cribbs doesn't do well.

    and speaking of being objective. it's funny how you defended the troll by saying he was speaking on what is. but what is isn't going to be the final product that trots out onto the field come the season opener. how hard is it for you 2 to understand that the browns will not be the same team after the draft and free agency? do you or the steeler troll know who's going to be on the browns' roster after fa and the draft? nope. so stop trying to act like you can pinpoint how the browns will be when you have no damn idea what their roster will consist of after fa and the draft.

    as far as playmakers are concerned. that word comes down to what a playmaker is in your opinion. vickers does make plays. he busts open holes for guys like hillis to run through and he blocks well to. he doesn't make sportscenter plays, but he does make plays. no it's not a great play that goes for a td, but it's a play that was made. i guess you could say a lesser play, but a play nonetheless.

    watson is better than satisfactory. not sure how you can say he's just satisfactory when the guy was basically mr reliable. the other players (including someone like colt) i mentioned because you and the steeler troll have no idea what these guys will do now that they have more experience under their belts.

    cribbs and other players on the browns could very well do badly this upcoming season. i never ever ruled that out. i also never said things would magically get better this season. i never made any predictions or anything like that. that's just you taking my words out of context, just like the steeler trolls do. i know all about the lockout and the browns having a new o and d along with a new coaching staff. but at the same time, we don't know how long the lockout will be either.

    you're a doom and gloom type of person who assumes the worst. i'm a wait and see type of person who waits to see how things play out, esp. in a situation where there are so many possibilities. but you have your opinion and i have mine and we can leave it at that.

  • speaking of idiots, remember when you were arguing with mikeyp under your steeler troll alias, "slurp and burp", then you dropped a follow up troll cheapshot under your browns name "choco" by accident? funny how you disappeared from that thread. i wonder why? i know why you're trying to take a shot at me. 😆

    judge for yourself, fellow browns fans.

    i bet that makes you feel good....you have one program that can actually beat a PA team. too bad for your pro teams tho....

    looks to me like you get talent by bribing kids to come play for you. least joepa has some integrity....he still makes his kids graduate or they dont play.

    i wont say anything for pitt....pitt sux....buncha criminals.

    Wearing rose colored glasses is better than being an asshole.

    Your a FAT, TWO FACED, MIDDLE AGED, SQUEELER FAN who could careless about the BROWNS so I dont think anyone CARES what you THINK even if you USE CAPSLOCK TO TRY AND GET YOUR POINT ACROSS.

    ..... just sayin

  • From what I've heard, people are proposing (to even scale a little bit) that since they moved the kickoff to the 35, that a touchback should be moved up from the 20 yard line to the 25.

    I still dont think it's that fair, 30 yard line sounds about right.

  • This better be a damn joke

    He should have been flattered.

    He's not even worth a 3rd rounder.

    Bravo! OF course he DOES get a lot of fellation from certain Browns Board posters, but that's a different topic altogether.

    What is the love affair with this guy? He is an average football player, at best.

    I assume you are talking about Cribbs. To possibly answer your question: He IS the all time NFL career leader in kickoff returns for TD. He has 2 more than the next guy, and obviously could get more.
