IMMEDIATE and TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT ON OFFENSE.
Is it? Perhaps. If the problem was, indeed, the "Murmur" offense, then the improvement may be slight and we will know that it is the system, not the personell. I hope you are right though.

Seriously, what do you want? The browns to sign megatron and Larry Fitzgerald? Give the kid a chance and stop being so pessimistic. He looks good from where I'm standing.
So u dont think it presumptuous to claim the WR corps fixed by the addition of 2 rookies?

The Browns addressed what they needed to this offseason. Outside of the big 2 QBs, Weeden was the best QB available, and would have pushed both RG3 and Luck if he were a little younger. Still a good pick and one that's a definite improvement over McCoy.
I like Trent Richardson, and think he'll be a great back. Thing is, though, that great backs aren't as vital to a team's success as they used to be (Look at AP with the Vikings, CJ2K with the Titans, and MJD with the Jaguars). He will definitely help. Can't argue at all with the pick.
I don't know much about the RT you drafted, so I'm just going to go with the general consensus of the board and say he's an improvement. A good RT can help almost as much as a good LT. Gotta keep those edges safe.
I like Josh Gordon better than Benjamin at WR, I think he'll turn out decent. It probably won't be immediate, but he should be a good receiver. Could make a very good combination with Little. Having him and Weeden grow together will help them both out.
I might not like them as good as I like the Skins roster (just a little good-natured ribbing
) but the Browns have a good group to grow from. Just like the Skins, the Browns won't be the presumptive cellar-dwellers anymore. Our teams are young and very promising, the others in our respective divisions are only getting older. -

Our teams are young and very promising, the others in our respective divisions are only getting older.Well, the Browns are in fact still the presumptive cellar dweller. The other 3 teams made the playoffs and the Browns went 4-12, and now, this year they will have to rely on a rookie dominated offense to make headway.
I believe they will make headway, I just don't really believe they have caught up. The talent gap may have been seriously depleted, but the experience gap is not.

Well the whole really depends on Weeden, if he isnt a bust then we should make big strides, not saying playoffs but our level of play should be much better. And if he proves to be a legit signal caller then we will surprise some teams this yr.

Sure, but, as mentioned, nothing will change the fact that the Browns are the "presumptive" cellar dwellers. They will have to go out on that field and beat the teams in their division to not become the "actual" cellar dwellers.

On paper, the Browns new offensive weapons may appear to shrink the obvious talent gap witnessed in recent history.
The Browns were competitive in most games last year. A major missing component was the ability to close out tight games.
Hopefully they can get out the gate quickly with a few early wins. This and a strong dose of leadership, sadly lacking recently,
will help with an essential paradigm shift from weekly underchievers to weekly competitors motivated by the taste of victory.
Its on the veteran players and an unproven coaching staff to convince the team they have the juice to crack heads and win.

I have a lot of doubts about Shurmer's ability to coach.

As much as QB, RB, WR, RT etc. were big question marks last year, the Browns at least now have some plausible answers.
But yes, the 800 pound Gorilla in the room is Shurmur's competence. Personally, I think his bad coaching cost the Browns at least 3,4,5 losses.
HE is the Marie Antoinette of this team....head on the chopping block. (If not by H&H, by the fans)
