  • FWIW, i really liked DA up untill the Cincinnati game late in 07. I was at that game and i remember the sickening feeling i had watching DA single handedly giving that game (and essentially our playoff spot) away.

    I really like the move to make Chud our HC, but if he has serious plans to bring back DA to be our starter, i think the doubt will start to creep in as to whether or not Chud will be the guy to get us to where we all wanna go. I really want to believe that THIS TIME everything will fall into place and we all get to be the happiest motherfuckers on the planet earth. Bottom line though, I absolutely think Chud can and will do it, question is will he have more than 2 or 3 years to do it? Wishful thinking, and lots of praying.

  • The Derek Anderson story made it into NFL programming on ESPN this week. Derek Anderson, really? To me it seems like "the same old Browns." It's time to move on, it's just sad that your new coach wants this retread QB. You invested alot in Weeden, you have to roll with Weeden for the next year or two. (Though I think Holmgren wasted that first round pick and over-reached for Weeden). If your going to bring a QB to push/mentor Weeden, Anderson is just not the guy. I guess any hopes of renewing our rivalry (with Pittsburgh/Cleveland vying for the division title) will be delayed until your next head-coaching selection in 2-3 years. Sigh.

    Yeah your probably right, it will be Cleveland and Cincinnati vying for the afcn...

  • Per Grossi: "On Wednesday, new Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said “it’s premature to say” that Weeden will be the team’s starting quarterback in 2013."

    Really the only question left is whether DA will let Weeden keep the 3 uni number.

  • Very interesting now that Turner's hiring is official... Anyone remember the 2008 AFC Pro Bowl coach commenting on how well DA already understood the offense and how much potential he had? I think he even had DA helping the other QBs with the offense the week leading into the game. That was Turner.

    At the pro bowl practices in 2008, Norv Turner raved about Anderson. Called him a "rare talent". Interesting...

    And then he unfortunately had to watch him play during the game and see him winging fastballs into the stands and at the feet of his receivers.

    So, we can have Derek Anderson, Jamarcus Russell, and Colt McCoy vying for the QB job with Weeden. Anyone else?

    When does Ryan Leaf get out of prison?

    Lovely....maybe Mike Lombardi will make like Elwood Blues and be waiting at the prison gates for him to sign him up.

  • maybe invite Shepwrite to come back and sell his Quinn loven to act as Lums foil?

    like in the old days....

    Maybe find a new place to talk Browns. Sounds easier.

    dude, it's off-season bullshitting for us on here right now. no reason to get too serious.

    besides no one is keeping you here.

  • I would really like to see the Browns develop Thad Lewis. He has an arm and quickness....hes as good as any QB then we have on our team.
