As would Haden and Gabriel

We cut both of them, genius. And most wanted Gabriel gone.

Good thing we didn't trade his rights for a conditional 7th before the deadline.

Gonna need a reference on that. I recall there being much wailing and gnashing of teeth over Gabriel being cut. Mud being the most pissed.

Most? Nah he was a good receiver and he was cheap. More baffling was him and Hawkins getting cut.

For the record I always liked Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins.

The majority of folks did if memory serves. The only gripe was that we had a ton of munchkins but they were the best of them.

The revisionism around here is incredible. Mud was quite literally the ONLY ONE pissed.

Or, maybe its a case of: We have seen what has replaced them....and we now yearn for the at least mediocre talent of those two.

I think it was a near consensus perhaps not that people wanted him gone, but that it was an inevitability.

But that preseason, many had agreed that Gabriel had earned his spot on the team. He was the only player on the offense who was consistently making plays.

Cutting him was highly criticized and rightfully so.

wargograw

No they hadn’t. Even though he had a good preseason, everyone wanted him gone so badly that no one cared. But you guys keep telling yourself whatever will stoke your anger the most. Truth be damned.

I didn’t make the claim. By all means, rub it in our face with your evidence.

Look around at this board right now and tell me the evidence for people hating our players and thinking they suck no matter how much they do not isn’t patently obvious.

Is Sashi the long snapper? Hue taking reps at WR?

The Browns fans actually have a bad habit of over valuing mediocre players because the bar is set pretty low.

Like who?

And aren’t you glad we have a GM bucking that trend?

Demario Davis for Calvin Pryor - yet another gift from Sashi Brown to another NFL. The depth of the Browns personnel failures are staggering

Calvin Pryor was not a personell failure...it was a personality failure apparently. Hue cut him when he would not stop arguing with him, or fighting with someone else apparently. Truth is....we don't know how well Pryor may have played.

All I can say is that the play of the Browns defensive backfield has been extremely disappointing (read: poor). Maybe having kept Pryor would have greatly helped. Hard to say.

And perhaps Pryor was a cancer and deserved to be cut and would have sucked anyway.

Same week that Gordon's eligible to play.

Can you imagine if we got TY Hilton via trade with those 2 coming back as well, we would have a clear understand on what Kizer can do. Sighs...

Josh Gordon gets to practice soon and he can already be involved in team meetings. He's apparently in tremendous shape, which comes as no surprise. Now, FOOTBALL shape is much different from BEING in shape, but it's still much better than him being fat and lazy. It couldn't have been easy to train that hard while not knowing how his NFL fate would transpire.

Regardless of how long he's been out, he's still going to be our best WR. He's got the size needed to easily beat press-coverage, and the speed to warrant a severe cushion by the defensive back. Josh also runs a great slant...we just don't have anyone who can throw it. My biggest concern for Josh is a soft muscle injury like a hamstring. Those are the kind of things that are difficult to train against, and are the injuries that typically hurt people who miss significant time. But make no mistake about it, Josh is going to be Josh, and we still remember who THAT is. But here's the problem: We still don't have anyone who can throw him the ball. Even if he's open, Kizer can't consistently deliver him the rock anyway.

Josh Gordon! I so proud of this guy! When many thought that he was just another Blackmon he proves he is much more! Welcome back JG!

Kevin Hogan is going to thrive with his high and away passes to Josh! Let's GOOO!
