Greg Little Released

I posted this elsewhere & will post it here...
I think these guys have set a bar & performance beneath that bar will NOT be acceptable. A WR who neither runs good patterns nor consistently catches the ball would definitely be beneath that bar. As was the case with cutting Campbell & Weeden, they are sure they can better the position elsewhere. I applaud doing business far differently than it was done previously (when we weren't worth a shit!). The only way we could reverse the Browns' fortunes was by implementing sweeping & dramatic change & by God, they're doing it.
These guys are thinking out of the box & there's not a Team in the NFL that needed that more than our Browns.

Little was a physical specimen, but had a severe case of brick hands. Goodbye, Little, you will not be missed.

Yessssssss, thank god .

Well this is an 'interesting' take:

The plug was pulled three years and a cadre of terrible quarterbacks later, though that shouldn't be confused with a lack of ability. Little's fundemental flaw wasn't in his ability, but rather misuse. Instead of filling the role of a flanker receiver or short option he was immediately expected to be an NFL deep threat. This isn't where he wins. At UNC he thrived at catching the ball in small spaces and working after the catch, using his powerful frame to fight for extra yards against smaller defensive backs.

Guy has had a consistent problem with dropping passes.

Now a Raider

It'll sure give ol' Matt a change of pace. Now he can throw 1/2 his pick 6s directly to the opposition & bounce the other 1/2 off Little's hands!

And he's excited to face the Browns this October: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/oakland-raiders-claim-receiver-greg-little-off-waivers-from-cleveland-browns-205323914.html
But good luck facing the new and improved Browns secondary.

Yeah, Little was quoted as saying he has marked his calendar for the date they
play the Browns.
Big deal, Little. You showed you weren't about winning when you were here.
Talk is cheap.

Joe will shut that ass down. Also, does Little not know who he has throwing him the football. Our D may score 18 pts that game.

Wait, are you saying Little is the Raiders' top receiver? Hahahahahaha! Poor Raiders...

Ayo chill on the Little jokes. I had high hopes for him this year. He's very athletic and plays with a lot of passion. Yeah, he has questionable hands but can snag the hard ones. He just need a consistent QB, some guys(like Gordon) can catch anything, but Gordon did drop a few(even a game winner in Dallas?), but some guys have to get used to where the ball is going to be and how hard and with what kind of spin and velocity on it. Trajectory and placement are also key.... so many QBs.
The Raiders got themselves a playmaker if they can make him consistent and work on his route tree. Derek Carr will give Little a great opportunity to be successful.
Good luck Little although I hope you get the flu before you play us.

It's interesting that you always mourn the washed up, or overrated, or just plain shitty players that get kicked off of the team. Did you even care that TJ Ward left?

Even if we left Little completely open, there's no way he'd catch the fuckin' ball anyway. Perfect fit for Shaub and the Raiders.

Shaub doesn't throw to his receivers, just the other team's dbs or lbs.
