Time To Drop The Negativity About The Browns

The Browns Board

  • OK, dropping the negativity. Things about the Browns are s'wonderful s'marvelous.

  • I'm withholding judgement till we are 5 games into next season. No enthusiasm, no hate, just indifference till I see a difference.

  • We're not that far away. The Browns have a really good core of players. Early in the season we were in every game and even in the end we kept games close. The biggest issues were coaching decisions, player rotation, scheme and discipline. With a new FO and Coaching Staff there is no reason we shouldn't be able to win the division next season.

    We are getting Gordon back! He one of the most dominant WRs in the NFL when he's allowed to play. With Manziel at QB and a new crop of rookies the Browns are poised to break out.

    The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain-

    Does anyone remember if the level of praise Hue is getting compare to when Pettine got the job? I think it was crickets chirping back then.

    Pet was a relative unknown, so yeah, the fanfare was muted. But we did have fans, Bills' fans, immediately come here and congratulate us. Then, call it reporting or PR, the positive stories started rolling out.

    With Hue it's been the opposite. Immediate, blaring trumpets in the press for wresting an HC from the clutches of two other teams... a jovial intro including 140 text messages... and now, quiet... only the echoes of trumpets... not a single fan dropping in... snail's pace hiring, except by the other teams we wooed Hue away from.

    And again, I do like the hire, but so far little has happened to reinforce that feeling.

    I knew nothing about Pettine when he was hired but I heard Billick talking about him saying that he thought the Browns did the wrong thing in getting rid of Chud so soon, but if the reasoning behind it was they wanted a coach who would make the team tougher, than Pettine is the right move for them to make.

  • We need more than Josh Gordon! I trust Hue is realistic about getting offensive help; Thank God. I'm very optimistic about the draft and the Browns future. Maybe Hue will help me stop anguishing about the last two drafts and move on.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Meanwhile, Hue was named "Assistant Coach of the Year"

    The Browns nailed it for the first time since 99.

    "Hue gotta believe"

  • and for more inspiration, Shelton is mic'd up vs the Squealers.

    Just wait for next year. Shelton won't be a rookie anymore.

  • This is a very interesting interview with the first perfect fit new head coach

    of the Browns, for the first time since 99.

    dumb interviewer's mic needs to be turned down, but Hue is a very, very, very smart coach.

  • Damn, cal... you're going to put Hue's Press Agent out of a job... 😉

    Ditto.

  • Reading this is almost relieving because it sounds like the kind of story that would have been about us in the past. Maybe things are looking up after all.

    blind enthusiast here. Shrine game is in 4 days. Senior Bowl is in 11 days. We have no scoutmaster/gm. jr. to report to. Assuming we have boots on the ground (some call scouts). Enthusiastically we need to get our ass moving Hue Sashi's!! 😍

  • Almost all the hires are being looked at favourably inside the NFL, that wasn't the case after the last search.

    If it doesn't go well this time I really don't know where Haslam goes from there

  • hey I'm from St Louis and just a draft guy and am not especially a Browns fan(loved Kosar and that Browns team back then) and IMO the Browns future is so bright you guys need to wear shades

    understand why many Browns fans are so negative but think you made a great hire at hc...and the draft is will bring you a franchise QB and a great wr in the 2nd rd
