    Is he waiting for a hot day in July to dive in the lake

    yeah because he's a beta coach and a bitch. he has NO excuse for sucking this year. He can try and blame anyone, but if we don't win at least 5 games, off with his head.

    Damn wimp. Tell ya what- way back, we did some wading in the lake on the 4th of July, and I can tell you from personal experience 70 degree water still isn't very pleasant. I put the screws to Hue to jump in before the water warms up above 40 degrees. Did that in Wyoming one year- and your legs go numb in around 5 seconds.

    You would not like fly fishing then. It's still damn cold even with waders on. Give me snow showing in winter any day over fly fishing a snowmelt stream in summer. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    I am infinitely tired of the b!tching about Hue. Your take is fair though. I fully believe he will have an actual group of talent able to win games. 5 win expectation is fair.

    At least he has no excuses now. Dorsey has given him players to win games not even including the high draft picks.

    Well.....I don't know that we have a lot of Pro Bowlers on this roster, really.  And I don't know if this is is a playoff roster....not yet really.  

    And....of course there is the old adage of caution about our high draft picks:  We have failed at this before.

    Reading the names of Browns First Round draft picks past is kind of like this:

    The ony question is:  Who will be rescued.   So far....only Corey Coleman....but how long will that last?

    Well we know that Hue was forced on Dorsey... so there's that for starters. But you're not implying that regardless of the start to 2018 Hue is toast... are you?

    Well If they start out .. let's say 1 and 6.. wouldn't that alarm you just a wee bit , Tour?

    Alarmed? Probably, but whether I acted on that alarm would depend on how well we competed in all 7 games and how the level of competing was trending, i.e., on the rise or waning.

    I'm guessing Oakland was a much older, more experienced team. 

    True... also deeper, if not more more talented. When Carson Palmer was injured... and he wasn't playing very well... Jason Campbell stepped in and went 4-2.

    Also did not hurt that in 2011 (can it be that long ago?) the AFCW was pretty mediocre with three teams, including Hue's Raiders, going 8-8 and the 4th going 7-9.

    BTW, who are you liking at OT now that Joe's Gone Fishin'? Do we dare pass on Quentin Nelson, plugging him in at LG and slide Bito out to LT at the price of passing on Chubb? Man, I'm torn with that idea.  😕   

    I think Coleman steps in at LT... it's his natural side.

    Once upon a time I thought Bito was our best alternative to Joe, but after a couple injuries I think Bito's days of sliding outside are behind him. Pretty sure that since he did not slide out last year the Browns think so, too.

    There's been some speculation that Nelson could play OT, but I'm not sure you take what many think is a generational OG and do that.

    I'm not all that high on Chubb.

    I would agree.. Just looking at Bitonio.. He just seems natural where he is.. But just a side note.. I know a lot of posters wont like what I'm about to say. But has anyone watched how natural Alejandro Villanueva plays at LT for the Steelers?.. He looks bigger and stronger than JT does.. I believe.. if he stays healthy.. He may go down as the best at the position. And that pisses me off to no end.

  • I would give the Browns a B+ border A- for their free agency ........ if they can land a replacement for Shelton and another receiver that would improve the grade

    Strikes me as very generous considering they did not land, but one B+ player, Hyde.

    Do you have he and others rated higher? Or is there another rationale?
