    Josh Cribbs thing and just return kicks for TDs. Ain't nothing wrong with that.)

    well we all know cribbs isn't 'the man' doing that anymore. i'm surprised people are even in love with his WR play.

    love the dude but this org has wasted his talent. another one bites the dust.

    How do you figure the organizatin has wasted his talent? It hasn't won but that had nothing to do with Cribb's talent. He was/is outstanding at kick returns, and FYI, he led the Browns in TD receptions last year.

    By losing they "wasted" everyone talents....or lack thereof. Cribbs no more than anyone else.

    And, by the way...I for one don't know that Cribbs "ain't the man" any more. He may very well be the man. I expect him to be the man when it comes to special teams, still.

    i just think that they could/should use him on offense in certain ways that haven't been explored. i know they tried to do a 'wild dawg' thing with him years ago but it all but fizzled out.

    the ineptitude of the coaching staff since '99 with creating some type of imaginative spin on things offensively has fallen short.

    i would have him under center at least a half a dozen times a game. i mean wasn't he a QB in college?

    No Robinson?

    This was CBS Sports list. I don't know who Robinson is, but I suspect he is a Michigan player since that question came from you. Which tells me one of two things: either "Robinson" is an underclassman, thus not listed here, or you are way over rating him.

    ....err, or, are you talking about Dennard Robinson? I don't think he will be listed with the WR prospects.

    Yes, Denard Robinson. I figured he would be listed with WRs because it's pretty much universally accepted that he'll be a WR/KR/PR/etc. In the NFL. Even if he has an amazing RGIII type season he's still too short to really take as a QB. I mean, it's not impossible, but he'd have to really improve his passing game.

    Anyway Kiper said at one point he could be the top WR on the board. Now I know everyone here hates Kiper, McShay, etc. (totally rationally of course) and he could have just been trying to make an interesting conversation but you would think this mention would at least get him in the list of WRs.

    And no, I would not overrate Michigan players (not that much I hope) and I know their class status, so I know who should be drafted or not.

  • The draft is over and I would have expected most of the Browns fans who were disappointed with the draft to atleast settle down and give this team a chance. We have solidified 2 positions - RT and RB. On paper Weeden is an upgrade over McCoy. We got an OC to make like easier for Shurmur. If all these click then we should be better than last year. Ofcourse we wont know it until the season begins but shouldn't we atleast wait till the season begins before making that analysis?

    We dont have a WR and that is going to be the hole that sinks the ship? Seems like many here bitching cos they want to bitch ... almost like they are sadomasochists.

    well when things don't go the way that you think they'll go people tend to get a little scruffy.

    OK, fair points. Like I said, send Holmgren a Howler. (Wouldn't it be nice if we really could?)

    Well, maybe he could become Josh Cribbs Part Deux?

  • I wouldn't declare Cribbs "done" just yet. He has been unlucky with injuries the past 2 years, but in 2012 you'll see the return of his 2009 form!

    In 2010 he dislocated four toes early, and later in the year was given a concussion in a helmet-to-helmet from Harrison.

    In 2011 he had a bad groin injury all year.

    If you've never had a groin pull - let alone a severe one - don't make the assumption that he "should" be able to play through it.. that's just not going to happen. I speak from experience.

    Im pretty sure we have some wr's. Greg Little was a 2nd round pick that could have been a 1st if UNC didnt suspend 16 players for the whole season. The hole that sinks the ship is going to be your attitude and the attidues of all the negative people on here. We all hate to lose you know, give this team a chance, they just might surprise you!

    That's what I've been hoping for. They were the same number and everything.

  • Kiper's latest list has Denard as the #5 Sr WR, so you throw in Jrs and he's like #9. 9 this year was Reuben Randle

    Fair point dude .... we still have till the first loss before we pick up our weapons. For now, lets work on our biceps.
