Browns skill players....best ever?

So if we have all these good players and we are still 3-12, what does that say about the coaches?

Dunno... I'm still trying to understand the whole prom thing...

Always shocks me how so many people can miss a simple point......and then make it something else all together....

Winslow better than Ozzie? Don't be idiotic.
Example #1........what's idiotic, is that you think I said that..........(extra idiotic, actually)

It tells me they are extracting some pretty good performances from some historically average players on a team with no running game, no quarterback and no defense....
Dunno... I'm still trying to understand the whole prom thing...
Yeah....me too.....Ive determined it doesnt make sense....

Let me type slow. When you celebrate statistics of today's game and suggest that they are indicative that today's players are terriffic...
You've missed every point......
So.....for example.......if "todays" tight end is ranked #4 in the league.....does that not mean he's at the top of "todays" players?....
And.....if you have 4 players ranked somewhere near the top of "todays players", does that not mean you have 4 players who can compete at a high level against "todays players"?????
And....as an EXAMPLE...... if our team in 1986 had 2 skill players ranked at the top of the league and our team in 2015 had 5 players ranked at the top of the league....would it not stand to reason that we currently have more "top players" now, than we did then?......

HA!.....did the title get ya?.......found some very very interesting stats this week, which for me, offer much hope going into next season.....
For those who are open minded.....consider the following items for NEXT season.....
2016 Roster has: Josh Gordon, Gary Barnidge, Duke Johnson, Travis Benjiman and Andrew Hawkins...
NOTE: I did adjust this years #'s to reflect the one game left(added each players average to his total)
Now, consider the following Cleveland Browns "best ever single seasons" and/or records(for receiving)........
WR: Most yards ever in a season..........................................Josh Gordon #1 @ 1646 yds
...............................................................................................Travis Benjiman #8 @ 973 yds
WR: Most catches ever in a season......................................Josh Gordon #1 @ 87 catches
....................................................Andrew Hawkins & Travis Benjiman tied at #13@ 63 catches
TE: Most yards ever in a season........(1100 Winslow)..........Gary Barnidge #2 @ 1042 yds
TE: Most catches ever season......(89 Newsome/Winslow)..Gary Barnidge #4 @ 74 catches
RB: Most yards ever in a season....(Greg Pruitt 640 yds).....Duke Johnson #2 @ 533 yds
RB: Most catches in a season........(Greg Pruitt 65)..............Duke Johnson #4 @ 60 catches
So.....if you absorb these numbers and consider how many hundred(s) of WR's, RB's and TE's have played for the Browns...you have to concede that we have some pretty talented skill players compared to what weve had in the past......
Josh Gordon had the best season EVER for a WR.....so, is it possible that we will have the best receiver the Browns have ever had ....????
Gary Barnidge is have the second best season EVER for a TE.....and we've had a couple good ones....eh?......he just passed the best season Ozzie ever gave us(yds).....
Travis Benjiman is having a "top 10" season for Browns receivers....so, very possibly could end up being be the best #2 WR we've ever had................
Andrew Hawkins also had a "Top 20" receiving season....from the SLOT....giving him the best season for a #3 ever.....................
And Duke is already #2 on the RB receivers list and he's just a rookie....already up there with and passing guys like Gregg Pruitt and Eric Metcalf.....
So.....I KNOW people will scoff and say this is BS.....but, like I love to say....the numbers dont lie...
If we can fix the running game and blocking, along with some improved QB play, we have the skill players to get it done on offense right now......
Just gotta say.....I was VERY surprised to see all these guys at the top of the Browns "all-time" seasonal performers list.....
Does this help anyone????........curious....
HA!.....did the title get ya?......
It did make me think, "Mud's stirring the pot again."
Our RBs are serviceable, I wouldn't draft one at all before the 6th round.
Disagree... we lack a bell cow. Won't go crazy and prescribe we invest a Day 1 pick, but there will be some nice Day 2 values.
I like Crow, but he's inconsistent. I like Duke, but he's a 3rd down back...

I think he'd be an awesome late round pick......but suspect he might go sooner than some might think....

there is so much wrong with this analysis.....for starters, Gordon not being in there was why some of the scrub secondary recievers are getting more targets. You can't include both totals. If Gordon starts 16 games next years, guys like Hawkins and Benji arent going to get as many targets. Second, as others have pointed out the nature of the nfl(especially in counting stats per season) is totally different in the passing game.
Without a healthy and not suspended gordon, the browns offensive skill people are worst in the league, or very close to it.
