  • Can't really tell if the receivers are good or not with all the inaccurate passes. Wish they had at least an average QB...

    I hope you are kidding with that. Yes Brandon was inaccurate at times. However, we could have won 3 more games if guys could hold onto the ball. Little could not catch shit at the beginning of the year, and was doing poses and shit just for a 1st down. He did come around though towards the end of the year. Josh Gordon will be our #1 wr for years to come and yes he would be a #1 on 100 percent of teams. Development is key for these guys man, they need to be coached up big time. If you look at last year, We had a rookie QB in system that for sure didnt fit what his strengths are. The WCO is a Offense of timing and rhythmic routes. You cant expect rookies to pick that shit up right away. Our guys were in beast mode towards the end of the year though . I personally think drafting a WR is a crap shoot, unless its an AJ Greeen or Julio Jones. There is not one of those in this draft. Look at it this way. If Gordon was in this draft he would be a top 20 pick, and we got him for a 2nd rounder. We have our stud WR, now lets sit back and watch him destroy some secondaries.

  • agreed about Gordon.

    i also like Norwood and Cooper both. I think Norwood is especially underrated and will be a difference maker this year... i also anticipate him splitting return duties with Benjamin. Cooper probably has nfl ability to return kicks as well...unfortunately none of them are much for tackling though.

    as long as none of them get hurt, I feel ok w Gordon opposite Little and either Norwood OR Cooper in the slot...trips...4 wr sets...WHATEVER.

    tr3nt has grt hands and so does Chris, and Montarios are serviceable and I expect them to see their share of balls thrown their way...but tight end is where i believe we're really going to see some surprising additions.

    from what I know about Chud it just seems VERY unfinished.

  • I believe Norwood will show his worth in the slot this year if he can stay healthy. The only draft pick I would want to use on a WR is the last one by bringing in potential slot receivers such as T.J. Moe, Chud Bumphis, or Uzoma Nwachukwu...

  • I'd like to see the Browns roll the dice on Marquess Wilson. He'll be available in round5 because he quit football after being abused/targeted by Mike Leach.. IMHO the problem is Leach, not the player. He's no Patterson, but he'll be good value as a slot WR / special teams player.

    True, I watched the games, Little was terrible. But I think Gordon is a solid option going forward. Next year is a good draft for WR's imo. Watkins and Lee look real good to me.

  • The only thing about running the Shotgun 80% of the time is that it takes away from our power run game. We have a stud in Trent Richardson who would be best utilized if we had a decent FB that could block. Running Shotgun will take the FB out of the game. There are plenty of passers that line up behind center that do not have batted balls constantly. Weeden or any other QB that's playing needs to find ways around this. We need to stay balanced and run with the power formations and also utilize the Shotgun effectively, that's the only way to succeed.

  • Little began to display a GREAT pair of hands as the year progressed. I remember him making impressive catches that shocked me because before that point he had some dropsies. I really think the emergence of Gordon caused Little to focus more and play harder

  • indeed. iron definitely sharpens iron.

  • considering Chud the Studs love of two TE formations I think we'll see the power formations plenty...but with tight ends and not full backs per se
