  • he's got the right size, i think the guy plays scared.

    think he was on the field when momass got cheap shotted by harrison. might have something to do with it.

  • What I noticed was how well Little catches the passes from Colt. Colt throws a very catchable ball, that may be part of the problem. He's had so many different QB's throwing the ball that he can't anticipate where the ball is going to be. Is it going to be a jump ball? A floater? A grounder, is it going to be behind him? It's hard enough to go across the middle and even harder when you're not sure where the ball is going to hit you. I've seen Little make some amazing catches. A great QB that is consistent and gels with Little will make Little elite.

  • I think the reason he always played better with McCoy and Wallace is because they threw a lot more catchable balls. This though was because they didn't have the arm strength to drive passes. Then you go to Weeden who did nothing but throw fast balls all the time. Greg dropped a lot of balls but he wasn't the only just the one who did it the most. Then after that you have back ups constantly coming in. Who are they going to throw to? Your #1 WR and TE and by the time we had those back ups who hadn't worked with Little, it was the Gordon and then Cameron show.

    Of course that could only explain his high number of drops. He doesn't get great desperation from anyone and that's because he doesn't have good route running.

    Everyone wants to talk about Little after the catch, but personally I havent seen him break many tackles. The best part of his game is blocking. He doesnt have the burst to seperate and his hands are just bad. Hes gonna have a hard time staying in the league once we finally dump him.

    lol, Little will NEVER be elite, the good ones catch anything.

    Greg Little was the 4th worst in the league with dropped passes the year Colt started 13 games. Look at the whole body of work not one positive catch vid.

    Lol PoG.

    You will never stop slobbering on McCoy's cock, much less Richardson's, will you?

    Little lacks consistency, good route running that enables him to gain separation, and the ability to focus and concentrate on the mother fucking football being chucked right at his numbers, three things that pretty much every good, elite, and HoF receiver possesses. He has had how many seasons to develop? 4? 5? Not exactly sure but it has been a handful and he yet to demonstrate any marked improvement in those three areas. I could make the arguement that he frequently seems to regress and fall apart seemingly out of no where on a consistent basis.

    There is probably a .9 percent chance Little ever develops into anything beyond a incredibly inconsistent, unreliable, sub par receiveing target. Plain and simple.

    As for your love affair Colt McCoy, there is precisely a

    -1000856 percent chance he develops into anything beyond a marginal, jelly armed third string Gumby of a quarterback. Sometimes I really wonder what fucking dimension you call reality because the vast majority of your thoughts, views, opinions, and manly ass pirate obssessions could only be dreamed up by a delusional, spaced out hummdinger with scrambled eggs for brains that are permanently locked in a acid trip within Wonderland. Get real ya fuck nut.

    Anyways, that's my two cents, for all its worth (which is about two pennies).

  • Maybe someone more interested in looking up statistics would know better than I. How often does it happen in the NFL that players learn to catch the ball as their career develops? Greg Little is by no means a rookie but are there instances when receivers suck for a few years and then break out?

    Someone had mentioned that he tends to drop the easy ones that are right to him and nobody else is around. That is a problem, for that screams mental midget. I would suggest a sports psychologist for him if anything.

  • ...or glue like in the movie The Replacements

  • All Little's weaknesses have been listed... concentration, route running, separation...

    I thought competition with Gordon would improve Little's game, but it did not.

    I thought Gordon allowing Little to take the #2 role would help... it did not.

    His season catch total has steadily declined through his first three years from 61 to 53 to 41. He has two 100-yard games and 8 TDs in three years.

    At this point Greg just seems destined to be one of those "could have been" guys.

    Who is throwing the ball doesn't matter. Ask Jerry Rice. Once the ball is in the air, it's in the air. If it's in the general area of the WR, he's supposed to catch the ball.

  • I've wondered in the past, if Little has attention deficit problems. Maybe he does.

    There could be an allowed medication for that, or training in how to compensate for it.

    Little plays very hard, and is tough. and, I'm sure that receivers don't like to catch

    passes from dumbasses who throw a ten yard slant at 90 mph like Weedone.

    My philosophy on mistakes, is that the only person who doesn't make any mistakes,

    is a person who isn't trying to accomplish anything. The Browns will figure it out,

    and make plans and decisions accordingly.

    So? You think the answer is Adderall?

  • Despite our current WR 'woes' I hope to see Little cut from the team. It's time that we realize the guy had potential but just can't do the basic things pro-level WR's need to do to be good. I'd much rather give a rookie a shot before Little at this point. I mean how far can this guys rope be before it's cut?

  • He won't beat out a healthy Miles Austin and Bennett is more reliable, so ...

  • We have waited long enough for little to reach his full potential. Enough excuses have been made and I seriously doubt he will become anything more than what he has already shown us.
