    ... as are our TEs... Just not flashy... or if you prefer, shiny...

    Taco,

    For the 6 years from 2008 thru 2013 we were 4-12 half of the time and 5-11 the other half. There are a lot of ways to build a team and in that stretch we tried a lot of them.

    Now we're building a ball-control, low-risk Offense to complement what I'm guessing you noticed is a damn good Defense.

    That means a strong O-line and good set of RBs. Add a PAP QB and a set of possession WRs and wha-laa... a "disappointing" 7-9.

    As we move forward other pieces will be added. We were only a couple of drinks on a charter flight away from having a WR weapon. Hell even our QB in waiting started to look like a QB worth waiting for. We may have even fallen into a UDFA TE.

    I love the smell of progress in the morning... It smells like... well... progress.

    Cause you know only victory smells like victory...

    Is it? The coaches go 7-9 their first year and throw away the second year?

    I'm not arguing with you about this. If we reach 8 wins this year consider it superbowl celebration worthy. If we win, the scores will be 13-6 type games.

    I hope our passing game resembles something of this century but something tells me that is wishful thinking. Our QB of the future will be sitting in next year's draft. These words are trustworthy and true.

    i think i predicted 8-8 or 9-7....

    tougher schedule. if we get to 9-7 hopefully it's enough to eek out a playoff berth and that is SURELY nothing to dismiss as luck or lack of growth, just the opposite. you are prob right about our qb of the future. after building the lines and the defense i believe it will be time to go offensive playmakers while still adding depth to our lines.

    To say that "the coaches know it's a throw away year" tells me that Debbie hasn't played an organized sport past T-ball, much less coached a sport at any level. Our coaches are busting their asses with long days, and they're agonizing over every cut they have to make. They feed and shelter their families being a coach in a win now business, and they all know they'll all be gone if they don't win.......... and yet you think they're all just sitting around talking about 2-3 years from now?? Fucking ridiculous.

    I've read some pretty stupid things on this forum - quite a few from Debbie herself - but this one takes the cake. There isn't a member of the Browns organization that isn't giving their all to win, and to win now.

    It may be throw away season to you but a lot of guys careers and livelihood hang in the balance and there is nobody on this team that aint lining up to win every week.

    You make the statement that we may be the worst at these various skill positions.......now back it up.

    Give your ranking of all 32 teams at the Skill positions....

    Who has the best QB corps?

    Who has the best WR corps?

    Who has the best TE corps?

    Who has the best RB corps?

    If not this, but if you think the Browns are so low on the end of these rankings.....who do you think they are in competition with for the title of "The worst" of all these.

    QB - Packers Aaron Rodgers nuff said

    RB - Vikings Peterson is the best back and McKinnon is an intriguing guy, Asiata is servicable

    WR - Gotta go with the Giants if were looking at depth. ODB, Cruz, Randle and James Jones. If were just looking at top 2, Id take the Lions with Calvin and Golden.

    TE - Patriots. Gronk is the best TE to ever play, and they have decent depth with Chandler and Hoomanawanuwi

    I can give you who's worse off than us...

    QB's - Jets (Fitzpatrick), Bills (Taylor), Texans (Hoyer), Rams (Foles), Buccaneers (Winston), Titans (Mariota), Redskins (Cousins)

    RB's - Jets (Powell/Ivory), Atlanta (Freeman/Coleman), Panthers (Stewart/Whittaker), Cowboys (McFadden/Randle)

    WR's - Panthers (Brown/Ginn), Jaguars (Hurns/Robinson), Chiefs (Maclin/Wilson)

    TE's - Cardinals (Fells/Momah), Saints (Watson/Hill)

    I'm sure there are more groups that we are at least "competetive" with, but these are the groups that I think we are obviously better than...

    I'd also add that our offensive line is top 5, which helps. Plus, it's hard to rank our skill players because this is a new system and there are so many new pieces...

    Not to mention, our D will be top 5 this year as well... with the #1 ranked secondary... so that will help...

    I wouldn't include Foles in that group. I would take him for the Browns right now.

  • miktoxicM miktoxic wrote on
    #33

    yes. there are many that do the woulda shoulda coulda here for draft reasoning but i'll do it for trades and acquisitions.

    foles would have been great but my big piss and moan is not looking at alex smith when he was available. just think he is a classic prototypical QB that could've been here for 10 years.
