Preseason Power Rankings
-
The Browns offense has improved greatly. Whether or not that improvement will translate to our W/L record remains to be seen.
I like using next year's second on Gordon: the only way we'd get a better WR is to use our #1 next year on this position for Keenan Allen or Robert Woods. So with that 2013 first-round pick we're free to take one of the DE's to pair with Sheard.
I also think Trevin Wade will earn playing time this year at slot CB.

on paper we have. we added the number one RB prospect in the draft, the 4th best QB prospect, a RG and who else?
so i guess little is our #1 receiver? then momass. then who? noone else has done diddly squat. our FB is a question mark. our tight ends (besides watson) are suspect,
sure our left side of the OL is great but adding three players does not make a team.
we'll be lucky to win 6 games but i'm leaning more towards 5.

I've got my money on these 21 players to figure it out. I see a lot of potential and firepower in this group. I think this offense matches up very well with just about any offense in the league IMO.
With Brandon and Colt we've got ourselves a good problem. If Weeden struggles then Colt can step in and take the load and allow Weeden to learn. In our Line I see a WALL ||||| In our runningbacks I'm interested in who will be backing up Richardson, as I'm sure Trent will storm the league and cause MASS SHOCK AND AWE! I love our group of TEs! I really, really like our young WRs, I'm so glad that we decided to forgo the veterans and build with potential young superstars. This group plus Smelley puts our offense in as a VERY young group that will grow together and gell in time to be a dominating force for years to come.

i love the fact that we're young and can grow together but half those guys on the list wouldn't make the practice squad on most other teams. i'm talking top line quality players who make pro bowls. this team there is thomas, mack, haden, and maybe ward if he's healthy. TR could be if he's not a bust. who knows about weeden. i wonder if he'd be getting up off the field as fast massaqua and mccoy did after getting leveled by harrison? hell, i'm fifty and wouldn't think to do today physically what i could do when i was 22. age does make a difference. and if our OL doesn't gell right away i don't see TR having a 2,000 yard year or weeden staying healthy the whole season. smelley ain't no marecjic who ain't no vickers. just ask hillis.

The whole concept of pre-season power rankings before training camps begin is just ridiculous. It's too dang speculative to bother with. How can anyone take a 32nd place ranking seriously with all our improvements? 32nd? Really? We are WORSE compared to the other teams moves? Horsesh*t. They were good moves with lots to be excited about.
I also hate this frequent belief that Weedan can't succeed until we get rid of Colt. Where are you getting this stuff from? Is it proven there's bad blood between them? Got evidence Colt makes Weedan nervous? Colt might make an awesome back up QB and I think you need evidence to argue otherwise.

i'm saying colt is starting around week 6 when the FO relizes they got the 2012 version of DA playing and getting bounced and stuffed into the ground ala tim couch.

Gotta agree with mik, in that we seriously need to cool off on anointing all these young guys as all-pro caliber.
Seriously.....its getting outta hand.
We dont know anything yet....can gordon get off a jam at the line, will joes poor sophomore season be the anomaly, can weeden adjust to the speed of the nfl game, was big phil that important?
Theres oh so very few players on this team that are consistent and dependable. Haden, ward and lavauo are still young and unknown to a degree.....how in the hell can we rationalize all the variables? Just no easy answers. While i recognize its merely opinions vailed in certainty.....it just sounds like theres gonna be some pissed off browns fans this season. Lofty expectations being thrown around regarding a team playing so many youngsters....

Totally agree. Its great having enthusiasm but lets not get ahead of ourselves and be set up for a let down. Go to any teams forum and you'll see the same things. All the new rookies are already pro bowlers and their team is setup for the playoffs. How can any team possibly get worse with new elite talent? Well it happens. I'm optimistic and excited but I'll hold all playoff reservations until the season starts.
Remember last season. We had us running through the Bengals cuz they had a rookie qb from tcu.
I hope we struck gold but am holding reservations until real game play.

Preseason power rankings are as useful as a mock draft after the top 5.
That would be as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.
Or, per my Dad's expression: Useless as a tit on a boar hog?
