If anyone looks at the schedule the Browns are poised to win just 3 game this year....maybe..

Cinn (win)

Detroit (win)

Oakland (win)...maybe...

Peter King hit this one....

Wow just wow...thats all i can say....lol hehehehehe!

Come on guys it's not like Pete has a clue right now on who is going to do what. He simply has to rank the teams so somebody will finish last. Keep in mind the national perspective of the Browns is based on last season's finish that was putrid.

I wouldn't take it personally if I were you guys, it is what it is.

I heard another report of team standings on a local radio show and they had the Raiders at 29 the Browns at 30 the Rams at 31 and the Lions at 32. And they assumed that BQ was going to be the starter.

Good luck on getting him to take that bet Dan, the one thing I've learned about these manwagon bitches is that they lack the conviction of the bullshit they spew.

"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"

In one sentence you perfectly summed up the train wreck that Crenelephant wreaked on this team, city and fans.

Still spending lotsa time in the dark aren't you ?

Honestly, they'll be able to top Detroit's win total even if it was Ratliff at QB.

Believe it or not, there is now a coaching staff in Berea. This ain't last year.

I'm no sugar coating optimist after the Cleveland curse has crushed my spirit on a nearly annual basis, but we could not possibly do worse than last year. From a basic statistical standpoint, it is so laughable that we would do worse than our meager 4-12 accumulated during one of the most painful offensive touchdown droughts I've ever lived through. Again, I'm not entirely sold on the new guys (especially the new coach) but for the love of all things holy, have a little faith, or at least don't quote Peter King as your sole defense of such rancid defeatism.

you guys are so funny.

I really never knew how blind everyone here is.

An article critical of the Browns, "obviously, the writer doesn't know what he is talking about"

Article praising the Browns, "good insight"

Pathetic!

Football knowledge is lacking here. Browns are not feared around the league. Ravens and Steelers are.

[OconRecon]

This ranking is fine with me.

Let it put a fat chip on Mangini's shoulder so he can give the old "nobody respects us" line.

Changing gears, the Cavs are flat out wow-ing me right now. They just had a 55 second possession ending in a three in the last few minutes of the game.

OK, back to topic. Screw Peter King.

Soldier boy is one depressed individual. Dude hangs out on this board just to tell us all how stupid we are for being Browns fans.

Weird shit man, it does rank right up there with Gillooly and da ich.

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

OK.

Next one, please!

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

I thought I was the biggest asshole on the board, but Lumbergh proved me wrong.

I have always felt there is something mentally disturbed about an individual that becomes a member of a rivals board (Troll)

You are lacking something inside that needs fullfilled through posting as an adversary.

[Captain Cheesedick]

No one is stupid for being a Browns fan.

I just wonder why we take a positve article about the Browns as proff of thier improvement and the writer has insightful football knowlege, and a negative article about the Browns is scoffed at and the writer doens't know what he is talking about

Doesn't anyone see that?

This board awards admiration to players and coaches who haven't earned it.

Why isn't success a prerequisite?

We treat Mangini, Quinn, and anyone associated with the Browns at a certain moment in time as legendary, successful NFL stalwarts, the rest of the country doesn't.

Actually there is only one thing more stupid than everyones response to articles....

Me taking the time to respond to everyones response to the articles.

[daddybull1]

I'd like to set the record straight on my opinion about our QB situation...

1st, I think DA is an above average QB and as coach Sam said, Braylon cost him his job last year...

DA played with a concussion and for a QB that's the kiss of death...

If you know anything about concussions it affects your thought processes and reaction time...

My biggest bitch with Romeo was that Quinn should have been playing because DA was damaged material...

With that said, however, I think the Browns nation deserves to see what we invested a 1st round pick in...

I feel that Quinn should play until he's shown that he can't handle the position effectively and take us to the next level....

I've seen DA at his best and was impressed... Now I want to see what Quinn can do so I can form an intelligent opinion on the two....

I'll leave all the cutsie wutsie name calling and labeling to other posters... I just want a QB under center that allows us to be competative in our division and in the league....

If DA's that Qb, so be it...If BQ's that QB so be it.....

@inspecta said:

daddybull, that's the general consensus around here as well.

The only thing I disagree with is your assessment on DA's troubles last year. If it was just the concussion that made him play like shit then how do you explain the last 7 games of 07 and then that putrid performance in the pro bowl?
