Starting Receivers
-
Cooper could be to Weeden what Brian Brennan was to Bernie Kosar. Two catches and it's too early to tell. Don't forget about Travis Benjamin either. If the guy can manage to stay healthy, he's a legitimate deep threat- has to be the fastest guy on the team.
Yup... and Benjamin was just beginning to show his worth as a WR in the Buffalo game.
The curl route he ran against the Bills was a thing of beauty... DB's were understandably afraid of his speed and were well off him when catch was made. It is this type of play that will set up his deep threat. In case you have noticed his fly routes had been blanketed to date, and they will be until he shows more route versatility. There's not a WR in the league that can outrun coverage if his only route is a fly pattern...

As I said in the preseason, now that we have a QB who can see teh field and throw downfield, our recievers are "magically" going to get better, and some people (idiots) will be scratching their asses and saying, WOW, these guys really improved.
BULLSHIT. They are getting their confidence back after that asshole Colt spent what will be HIS ENTIRE PLAYING CAREER, throwing dinks and short passes, causing the recievers to get clobbered.
I predicted the WR corps would be fine onces they got a little swagger. Well, now they got a bit and trust me, the Browns will continue to pass for more and more yardage and TDs.
Its teh QB baby, and the Brows drafted a solid one.
Luck will be long gone and Weeden will still be winning ball games.
Go Browns.
AS usual you are blinded by your misplaced belief in the infallibility of your own views...
Discussion here was as much around rookie WR's as vets. Just how could rookies have had their confidence hurt by Colt is beyond me...

I've never seen someone toot their own horn/accordian so much...

Gordons only got 12 catches, granted 3 are tds. I hope he can consistently catch 5-6 balls a game. Momass hopefully can also be a consistent go to guy for Weeden. The browns havent had a go to reciever in quite some time, without mentioning early Braylon and early K2

It's weird that this guy thinks that two 5'10" WR's are gonna take this team anywhere.

Its weird that you think a 5'10" wide receiver cant be the best receiver on a team, Wes Welker best go and hang up his helemt and go get another job since he is obviously far too small for the NFL in your book.
Jordan Norwood has been the best hands on this team the last two years, and if he was used properly and more often could easily have a 1000yd season, just injuries and Shurmur somehow not seeing his talent and that #1 WR priority of actually catching the ball.

Thank you???
Thought I was a rank amateur compared to Ghoulie, Z and a few others, but I guess I was wrong.
Your comment does, however, beg the question, "How do you toot an accordion?"

Well smaller guys can be successful but most of the time they are in the slot.
To be a true #1 and play on the outside you got to have the physical traits like Gordon and Little, imo anyhow.

gordon and little are our future as every down receivers. little just needs to start catching the ball consistently. i love momass and loved the pick but i'm afraid he might be shell-shocked at this point whereas he puts his head down after catching the ball almost expecting to get blasted.
