8 weeks Gipper.. I broke both the tibia and fibula...

5-6 weeks with the possibility of less. You aren't a professional athlete. He plans to be back for the playoffs if not sooner.

Generally- it's 8 weeks for a broken bone. Might be back in time for the playoffs.

But at what level of efficacy?

[Dick Mellon]

How long will it take to get used to seeing him in black and yellow?

Some doctors said "anywhere from a 4-8 week injury, Haden could return as soon as Week 15 vs. the which is probably doubtful, or he could be out until the playoffs."

It was a strange hit.  The ball was snapped and the receiver instantly bowled him over and wiped him out.

His backup, the no-name CB, Coty Sensabaugh played well in spite of not playing much at all for the past 3 seasons.

If by this you mean that he looks much uglier wearing that uniform....well, that is a given.  They are such ugly uniforms that they would make anyone look ugly.

I didn't think they got anything for Haden, just cut him.

They got lots of snaps for guys who will actually be here when we're good.

Can he keep the muscles toned enough to go from cast to field?

Ok, not sure how that was a win for Sashi.  You or I would've been smart enough to cut Haden if Haslam signed off on it.  Getting anything for Gilbert was a win.

So why were plenty of posters disgruntled about it?

I'd say Haden was a brand name.  When he came into the league he was very good and gave some fans a reason to cheer.  One thing Browns fans are not good at is letting reason overtake emotion and I'm guilty of it as well.  Joe has been in steady decline since he inked the big deal but many weren't ready to face that fact.  The same way many steal believe there are a bunch of incredible coaches out there waiting for the Browns to call because "they want to be the guy to turn it around".

He doesn't need surgery, reports are 5-6 with the potential for less. You can Google it yourself hoorta good sir. He's going to be back in less than 8 weeks unless he has a setback.

And we'll see how wrong you are when he's still on the pine.. I have had this injury.. you have 0 clue what the fukk your even talking about.. yeah.. the bone might heal.. but it will take him a year just to feel confident.. I hate to break it to ya.. but Slow Joe Hadens career is done...

Because it is one thing to cut a guy.....it is another thing to cut a guy not knowing if you have someone on hand who was better than him.  Joe may have lost some....and may have even lost his starting job,  but we were not sure that the backup CBs kept here were any better than Joe.

While McCourty has been good, Jamar Taylor has been spotty at best.   And while the Lady Brienn Boddy-Calhoun is a decent player......the other backup we have is Mike Jordan  (and no one really wants to be like this Mike).  Haden would likely have been a better backup. 

And...again, it was just a case of this FO wanting to ditch a bit of an older player for a younger, cheaper player.......of questionable talent.

Just because our current uniforms suck doesn't make your uniforms any less sucky.  (Browns classic uniforms are great)

Besides, the actual Browns uniform color is supposed to be Seal Brown......fashioned after WWII Bomber Jackets.

I don't know if the current uniforms are actually the same color.
