Come On Browns Mngt.--Don't Screw This Up! Colt Is The Way To Go
-
even though you're all over the place, I do agree with you on this one. Colt the last few games has been making strong, NFL caliber throws. The ones that are encouraging are across the field on out routes. He's consistently been hitting the guys in stride. I will say this however: if there's any way to nab Luck it needs to happen. He's worth two first rounds and a 2nd and probably a third. Franchise QB material for sure, and as much as I hate to admit it Matt Barkley is going to be really good too.
-
They finally adjusted and started playing to his strengths. He's playing more out of the shotgun and spreading the receivers. You have to play to the talent of your team. I think Colt is getting more balls and confidence now. He's throwing it better and I think realizing that WRs are not always open and you have to fit the ball in there.
He's done well the past couple of weeks. The team is starting to show improvements. We'll just see what happens when we start playing ACFN teams. But for now, I'm going to enjoy this win.

I'm not so sure. Do I want Colt to be our QB? Of course I do. Do I think he will be? Not sure. I watched Landry Jones play against Baylor Saturday night. The ball just comes out of his hands differently. The dude has a cannon, and he is a smart QB as well. It just looks weak the way Colt throws the ball. If he can work on and improve his arm strength I think he has a chance to be an awesome NFL QB. He is smart, hard-working, tough, and has that will to win ballgames. Either way, I do NOT want to see the Browns lose just for draft position. That would be the same ol' song and dance we see yearly with these clowns.

Nope! Colt did OK the past two weeks... against two or the worst defenses in the NFL... and he through for 1 TD and 2 INT's. Not exactly great numbers against shitty defenses. The next 6 weeks he is playing 5 top 5 defenses in Balt x2, Pitt x2, and Cinci x1. I imagine in that span of time he averages around 250 yards a game (because he throws so much from us being behind) and has something like a 1-2.5 TD to INT ratio.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
Haha Zombo I was thinking the same thing about Shumur's play calling being way better yesterday, about if big ol' Holmgren had a sit down meeting with him after that terrible game.
if the play calling is like that every week, then the Browns will be fine, but I'd get an offensive "consultant" just to be safe.
anyway, don't forget Holmgren was the guy who tried to trade the entire draft for Sam Bradford, don't be surprised if he offers the #1 pick team the two 1sts and McCoy for Luck, and I'm not saying I want that to happen, I'm just saying that Holmgren might wanna try that.

The Jags actually have a pretty decent D. I wouldn't call them terrible by any stretch of the imagination.
As far as Colt ... I can't for get about all the terrible games because of 2 decent games. Granted there is a lot wrong with the rest of the offense and the play calling. The only thing that has kept me positive about the offense has been the comparison to Drew Brees and how awful he was his first couple of years in San Diego.
At this point I wouldn't be upset if Colt was replaced, but I don't fully endorse it either. I would be much more upset if we traded several picks and Colt to draft Andrew Luck, because of the many needs we have on this team. If we were to replace him I like the idea of doing it either with Matt Flynn or a QB that is available when we pick.

Coming into yesterdays game the JAgs were 4th in total defense. So they are not bad at all
"And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve." -
Ummm......14 points?
-
colt played better last year and everyone was excited about the way the browns looked until he got hurt.
between the sophomore slump and a new coach and system i think he is the least of our problems.
i'd be highly pissed off if holmgren even sniffs the buns of another QB. he should be thinking of trading down and adding another pick since we have so many positional needs. here we go again:
WR RT LB DE LB CB LB WR LB etc. etc. etc.

They just lost their pro-bowl CB and didnt have their best D-lineman (Pork chop or something like that)... We are also considered the best passing defense stats-wise and thats not close to being true. Just trying to be realistic.

I think the remaining 6 games of this season will determine the future of Colt/Shurmer/WCO what have you. We saw Sunday that if allowed to throw down field and
with to do so he can do so effectively. Colt fit some passes into tight windows and ON TIME which is the most important part for the WCO to work. Also, I'm glad to
see Jordan Norwood got a shot. He isn't a burner or deep threat, but he runs consistent routes and is quick enough to get decent YAC out of the slot. If Shurmur
continues to give Colt the ability to throw down the field and make plays, he will make our offense very good. If he doesn't, I think Colt won't mature enough this
year to stay in Cleveland. I expect the Browns to compete much better through these last 6 games, but not necessarily win.
-
and what if Norwood starts seeing much more time? He has apparent big play YAC and he seems like he can get a lot more separation then the other guys(little being one who doesn't need much)
EDIT: i did NOT read the above reply before my own.

Thats funny, I remember when I said that Ogbonnaya could be a good back for the Browns and some douchebag acted like Og was worth about a pile of shit. Turns out some people just say shit and dont know what the eff they're talking about. That said, Colt is one of the brightest spots on this team and it'd be a tough blow if yall lost him.

Chris Obi Wan Kenobi should make a really good 3rd down back and back up in the league, a good Woodhead type of back. I still don't think he is a feature back though.

fair enough but i recall some snob coming on and talking about how he was worthless, the day he got picked up by the Browns. Can't remember his name though. . .
