What I Am Disappointed With
-
Hey guys, long time lurker here. I really enjoy reading all the posts, as well as the friendly banter back and forth. Its good entertainment.
Anywho, let me tell you what really disappoints me about this current browns season. I said at the beginning of the season that the browns would be 8-8 with the easy schedule that we have barring injury. I like the way the way that H and H have started to build the team (except maybe our WR problems), but they simply have not had the time to build depth. I knew that we were a few injuries away from being the same old Brownies, and low and behold.. we get really dinged up and turn back into the offensive powerhouse again (obv. sarcasm).
I really thought that this was going to be the season that we could grade McCoy. That is what disappoints me so far because how can we grade him? We are already on the 4th RB this season, a practice squad guy none the less. I like Chris a lot, I think he has good hands coming out of the backfield, but there are not many other teams that I can think of that can be destroyed at the RB like we have and not be hampered. Hillis, Hardesty, Jackson all going down with injury makes our running attack non existent.
The Steinbach injury hurt us as well because I think that Eric really helped Mack. We know that Thomas doesn't need a whole lot of help because he is Joey T after all, but Steinbach helped Mack in a lot of little ways last season, and we are not seeing the same Mack that we saw last year because of it. We simply don't have the depth at OL to sustain an injury of that magnitude. I think that the OL of Thomas, Stein, Mack, Pinkston, Pashos would have been a good OL to see what Colt could do, but as we all know that is just not the case right now.
Mo.Mass' constant injuries as well as Robiskie's lack of ability hurt as well. This was supposed to be there breakout year, and we already had to cut Robo because he just couldn't get open. 3 second round picks 3 years ago, 2 are not on the football team anymore and one just did not live up to the pick. I see a lot of potential in Little, but he didnt' play for a year coming into this season, so I think he'll be a lot better next year.
I said all that to say this, I think that next year will have to be Colt's grading year (injuries and depth can't be a factor next year). Unfortunately, if he doesn't work out, that puts us one more year behind where we all want to be. I want to see the Browns succeed as much as everyone else, but that success won't come until we can get the QB situation figured out.

Good post. You basically repeated what I said in another thread "Colt McCoy Breakdown". Nice to see someone like minded. I know I'll get bombarded for that but bring it on.
