    Browns are ranked #32 out of 32. Peter King is an idiot.

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ...ay11/index.html

    Hey, thank me, all you Brownaholics. Two years ago in a column like this one, I wrote that Cleveland was the worst team in the league. The Browns went 10-6. This year I'm saying they're the worst team again -- and I can guarantee you they're not going 10-6, unless Brady Quinn morphs into Tom Brady. Too many holes, too tough a division; write them down for 0-4 against the Steelers and Ravens.

        That doesn't strike me as a creditable article or author with commentary like that.

          What kind of drugs is he smoking? He has Detroit finishing 4-12 and ranked above the Browns? What has Detroit done to vastly improve from their unprecedented 0-16 season? They drafted a rookie, underclassman QB. Last I checked, there is a history of such picks being major busts. I won't go down the list...we all know them and have talked about them countless times. Where does King see the major differences? I don't see it. Have they improved? Yes...just the front office changes make them an improved team. But, on the field, the Detroit Lions are in need of some major help! The Browns, though not Super Bowl bound this year, have improved every area of need thus far. Are there still holes or questions? Duh...Of course there are! But, this is a team that highly underacheived last year offensively, causing the defense to have to play extremely tired as they were ALWAYS on the field! With the offensive improvements on the line and WR's and even with Davis in the backfield, they should be able to keep the defense rested a little more and be able to put the ball in the end-zone at least once or twice a game...or seven games...or ten games....

          I am definitely not trying to say the Browns are a playoff team or a contender, but they are still way better than several teams, including Detroit, that are ranked above them.

            Half of our games this year are against teams ranked 20th or lower in King's rankings, including five games against teams that are within five spots of dead last.

            Not sure how that jives with us winning four or less games.

              He must think we are really awful. I can't imagine the Browns being viewed that poorly by the national media, unless we are really, really sheltered here.

              I hate to start thinking about next years draft this early.

              Does PK have an axe to grind w/Cle?

                    Whenever we are being touted as the next great thing, we shit the bed. Whenever everybody has us already dead and in the grave we come out swinging and knocking muthaf*ckas out.

                    I'm very happy the national media is taking this approach with us...

                    Yes indeed. The best way to bomb a target is to fly in under radar.

                    Presently, the Browns are now officially underrated. That's a good thing.

                      It's possible, but I think Tupa's explanation makes more sense.

                        I cannot really blame him for not knowing what's going on in the NFL. After all, it's difficult to watch TV, read, or listen to the radio when your (freakishly huge, I might add) head is that far up Brett Favre's ass.

                          Does anyone take these talking heads seriously?

                          These idiots never consider coaching/discipline/conditioning/technique added into the mix...its so automatic with most teams there is no reason too..

                          Im thinking 8-8 with 10-6 a possibility and 6-10 as the unlikely rock bottom worse...

                          Its impossible to give an honest evaluation at this time...😉

                          We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

                            I have a burning hatred for this man's columns. He's such a bootlicker.

                            But I can't say I think the Browns are going to be any good either. I said 4-12, 6-10 at best. I don't know if that makes them the worst team in the league, but I don't think it's going to be pretty.

                              But look at Peter King though, I think he was hired for equal opportunity, he's a Retard mongloid with down syndrome. Seriously look at him. His Retarded "opinion" (and it is an opinion not a thought) is purely out of spite.

                                    At WORSE we'll finish #30 behind the Lions and Raiders.

                                    UNLESS we give the team back to Drive Assassin.

                                    Right now I'd trade him and Lums straight up for the air they're not breathing here.

                                    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

                                      It's kinda like how BQ Nation thought Quinn was awesome in his 3 games and the rest of the nation thought he sucked.

                                      Are you looking forward to this season, no matter who the QB is? This thread isn't about QB's.

                                        Not once in Mr King's article did he give valid reason for the #32 ranking. He DID say they won't go 10-6 unless BQ "morphs" into Tom Brady. My response to that is that neither BQ, nor any OTHER single player will lift us from dead last to 10-6. Just a testimony to the writer's ignorance. I am no expert, but the Browns were certainly not last in the league in "hole plugging", & they weren't last in the league talent wise this past season (BEFORE the "hole plugging"). They MAY have been last in talent utilization & coaching fundamentals, schemes, & discipline, but that is already changing. I will not predict anything record wise, but the Browns are improved & definitely trending in a positive direction. For the first time since the Browns "return", I am feeling good about the future.

                                        GO BROWNS!!

                                          A baton to the knee sounds about right considering his place of residence.
