Colts sign Cribbs
-
The Browns should have signed Cribbs to return and gun. He coming back to Cleveland would have Jolted the Fanbase to the magnitude of Lebron coming back. He's that special in Cleveland.

Cribbs is used up. Next.

Little harsh for the guy who brought almost all excitement the browns had for since their return.
The guy was a great player, role model, and seemed a genuine person. I wish the best for him.

And he averaged 12 yards per punt return for the Jets last year, no fumbles, one fair catch. surely he is still better that what we have back there ... but I understand not getting rid of a young kid for him at this stage.
Greatest special team player in the 58 year history of the Browns. Good luck to ya, Josh.

Well only if he comes back and plays at a high level. Come on G imagine him coming back eating up a roster spot and doing no better or even worse then the return guy we have now.

Who would you waive off the team to sign him is the question that hasn't been asked here. With the decimation of the defensive line and Gordon returning all the roster spot had to be focused on that. It's hard to justify with the injuries we've had to keep a roster spot for a guy who can only come out for special teams.
I do hope the guy finds his way back once he retires officially though. He'll always get a free beer and could easily join sports radio shows about the Browns. I'll always respect how much he invested and cared about the city.

Nope. Dawson was among the best kickers in the league for several years, but Cribbs WAS the best special teams player in the league for years.
3× Pro Bowl (2007, 2009, 2012)2× First-team All-Pro (2007, 2009)NFL Alumni Special Teams Player of the Year (2009)Cleveland Browns MVP (2009)Cleveland's Pro Athlete of the Year (2010)NFL's All-Time Kickoff Return Touchdown Leader (8) tied with Leon Washington)NFL 2000s All-Decade TeamDawson made one Pro Bowl. Cribbs is an All-time great when it comes to special teams play.Zombo -
Difficult to stand out as a kicker where perfection is expected and anything less is cut-worthy, where returning punts and kicks, anything is a positive and it's possible to create huge momentum swings.

Cribbs was also the best gunner in the league, had 23 tackles alone in in 2008.

No kicker will ever be able to kick in Cleveland's swirling winds as good as dawson. Let's not forget he was the best in the nfl with kickoffs. His placement was perfect and whenever we needed an onside or some kind of specialty kick dawson was right on the money. I take a 22 yd old Phil Dawson over a 22 year old josh cribbs right now no question. Kick returners are a dime a dozen. The reason we so easily let rid of cribbs was because benjamin was better than him.. Hasn't been the same since tearing the acl tho

Cribbs was not a dime a dozen KR, he got injured and he got old. He sacrificed himself for the team. But for a 5 or 6 year window, he was the best the special teamer in the league. That's greatness.
I'll give you Dawson's longevity. He's outstanding. Just not sure he was ever "the best" for 5 or 6 years. They are both Cleveland Browns Hall of Famers in my book.

Jim Brown is a football legend but I don't think Id ask him to suit up if I were ray farmer.

I'll just agree to disagree here

.....have you heard cribbs speak? He sounds like a Retard with a burnt tongue. Seriously, he makes Trent Richardson sound like Morgan freeman. I'd shoot myself in the dick if I had to listen to that.

That seems like an odd reaction that wouldn't really solve your problem.

Can't wait for the shit storm but it can't be as bad as Bernie Kosar slurring every other word. Love the guy though.

You don't listen with your dick?
He does sound kinda funny though. Kind of a high pitched voice with a heavy blaccent. Don't get me wrong, l love the guy too, but he doesn't have what l'd call a broadcasting voice.
