    2. For you. For me, I don't buy into the notion that we should accept only 1 win in 22 NFL games (and counting) during a reboot - jeez that reads even worse than just typing 1-21.

    In an era that sees teams go from last to first in one offseason, it is totally unacceptable that during 'The Process' of rebuilding/rebooting this team couldn't manage to at least go .250/4-12 for God's sake.

    We all have limits to our trust and patience, and everyone's is different and I guess mine was at 19-20ish games, whereas T's is much longer..... Hopefully The Process succeeds soon and we never get to his limit, because I probably won't be around to see it.

    it damn better work.

    ...... and that's what scares some of us, including me, the most T. I have seen very little so far that inspires much hope, and I fear the 'brain-trust' (where's that pink font button?) will take our vast amounts of draft capital, and buy shares of AOL Messenger with it.

    Not really, D... even if go all draft, we've two 1sts and two 2nds, IIRC... QB, RB, WR, FS... in some order is doable. That said, I think at least one will be via FA route... likely RB.. maybe WR as well. Might even go both routes for a position or two.

    As to skepticism over hitting on all four positions? That's healthy... going 4 for 4 at the top of a draft is far from a given... no matter the FO. But your tone is more "O-fer", and that's unjustifiably negative, IMO.

    Who do you like as a FA RB?

    We need one of the receivers currently on the roster to have the light go on next year and at minimum become a high end WR2. Otherwise, even if we do go 4-4 on those picks you laid out, we'll still have to  wait a year or two to see them grow up. I know D Bone doesn't have the patience for that and I kinda doubt Jimmy will after 2018 (unfortunately).

    Agree on a rostered WR. Always helps (me at least) to remember that the order could/should be Gordon/Coleman/XXXXX/YYYYY... and yes, I know Gordon is a pipe dream at this point... but one on which I am developing a theory coming soon to a thread near you.

    RB FA's?

    • Blount is the first to catch my eye... gives us the power back we've lacked since forever and is now really flashing in Philly... maybe too much to come available.
    • Hyde is another. It looks like SF may have his replacement warming up in the bullpen. Hyde's a better Crow.
    • Most of the others, e.g., Coleman, Ellington, are very Duke-like and any upgrade seems minimal.

    I accept reality, not losing. I look for progress because it is what I do. Even when we "win", I look for reasons why and progress.

    Stop with the "worst to first" bullsh!t... please. There are only a couple of examples where it happened in the absence of the season prior to "worst" being "first".... or damn close to first as in a "contender". It's a myth.

    So are there "only a couple of examples" (as in it's happened before), or is it "a myth" (where it hasn't happened or exist, yet folklore says it has)?  Can't be both there T! 

    The Browns are making you crazy too, just in a different way. 😉 

  • lol... alright...

    Although strictly speaking many myths have a basis in reality... 😉

    As for crazy? Did that to myself... long ago...

  • Anybody else see the story about Coleman and Britt missing curfew Saturday night and getting sent home on Sunday? Really, can we just cut the piece of Sheet and eat his cash? 

  • Always an option, but if you suspend him... we keep cash.

    Browns sent Kenny Britt and Corey Coleman home from Houston for missing curfew
    Posted by Michael David Smith on October 21, 2017, 3:11 PM EDT


    The winless Browns have been a mess on the field this year, and they have some problems off the field as well.

    According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, last week in Houston receivers Kenny Britt and Corey Coleman were both sent home early after they missed Saturday night curfew. Britt and Coleman had both already been ruled out for the game against the Texans with injuries, but they traveled with the team and were expected to attend meetings and team functions and stand on the sidelines during the game. Instead, they were already on the way back to Cleveland by kickoff.

    The incident is the latest in a long line of disappointments for both players in Cleveland. The Browns signed Britt to a four-year, $32.5 million contract this offseason, and he’s been a big disappointment. Coleman was a first-round pick last year, but he’s been limited by injuries and has just 39 catches so far in his NFL career.

    The Browns have not publicly addressed the matter. Britt is listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Titans with knee and groin injuries, while Coleman remains on injured reserve with a broken hand.

  • ^ I guess that about puts the cherry on the Texans poop cake.
