The official Terry Pluto thread
-
But right now, I feel better about these coaches than trying an untested coordinator who has never sat in the seat of a head coach before.
We could do a lot worse than Williams.
One other quote caught my eye...
It’s also obvious the players are in a good place with him.
As close as Dorsey seems to be to his players, I have to believe how "good" the feedback he is getting on Gregg will go far in determining Gregg's chances of staying. It's not unusual for GM's to seek feedback from key players, but Dorsey strikes me as one who would lean even more on this input.
Not that I see a LBJ situation developing with a single player having total control over who coaches, obviously foremost of the Browns players is Baker. After Baker's critique of Hue's "genuineness" a lot will depend on his specific feedback to Dorsey. Hard for me to imagine it being anything, but positive at this point.
What I am unsure of is who on the D would be John's primary source. Myles is "the star", but doesn't seem to be the guy to give unvarnished feedback. Same for Schobert... Collins could be out the door, so scratch him. Randall may be the best bet especially given his relationship with Dorsey's ex-Packer sidekicks.

I agree Schobert and Myles are just too young and inexperienced to be sources of major feedback other than what other players are telling them. Randall seems to be in the best position to provide both experience and player feedback.

From Terry.....
Rookies Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen have combined to start 31 games.
Those three have combined for only 16 red zone TD passes...the same as Mayfield.
That’s why it’s been so exciting to watch Mayfield – he has a way of moving his team across the goal line. He’s doing it like a veteran quarterback......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~●
Stunning stat, of the class of 2018 Mayfield has vaulted to the front with his "oh wow" factor, should be the AFC offensive rookie of the year hands down. Best quarterback class since the class of 1983 some 35 years ago? Might be, time will tell.

Or, 2004. Three possible HOFers from there: Eli/BR/Rivers. 1983 had the same number of HOFers...Kelly, Elway/Marino. 1983 had another pretty good QB: Ken O'Brien.....and another that did take his team to a Super Bowl: Eason. Todd Blackledge was the bust of that group.
The years in which 4 or more QBs were taken in the first round:
2018: Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Rosen, Jackson
2012: Luck, Griffin, Tannehill, Weeden
2011: Newton, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder
2004: Eli, Rivers, Ben R. JP Losman
2003: Palmer, Leftwich, Boller, Grossman
1999: Couch, Akili Smith, McNabb, Culpepper, McNown
1987: Testaverde, Stouffer, Miller, Jim Harbaugh
1983: Elway, Blackledge, Kelly, Eason, O/Brien, Marino........only the second year in which 2 HOF QB drafted in round one.
HOF in Bold. 2004 could have 2-3 HOF...
The ONLY other year in which 2 HOF QBs were taken in round one of the same draft was 1948....Bobby Layne and Y.A. Tittle.

"But the Ravens special teams are the difference."
The one area of this team that is not anywhere what it should be with the athletes we have on this team.

Speaking of special teams here is Terry's take on that

"I don’t know why Hue Jackson hired Jones."
Because he is Hueless the Clueless.

On point 3, I read this as the NFL is blacklisting GW from a HC job league wide

Another story today. Tell me how badly that would suck! Especially when our new head coach goes 2 + 6
Of course Cincinnati has a broken-down jalopy of a team compared to the bright shiny new Browns

I Believe that the new QB was in someone’s ear about the horrible practice sessions that hue held. Williams immediately changed that. Good practices resulted in some sweet cherry flavored KoolAid and a winning football program.

This you do not see very often in the press or in the media:
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- I’ll start with a confession:
My dumbest story of the year was suggesting the Browns NOT fire Hue Jackson after the team lost 33-18 in Pittsburgh on October 28.
The story was not written out of any admiration for Jackson.
My main point was a bias against interim coaches........

Good for Pluto coming right out with that.
Now is Williams a slam dunk no-brainer -or- does someone else have or should have a legitimate shot at the job?
