Top 10 Browns players....
-
He's a simple exercise.....who...."based upon NFL production"....are our best players???
Cause Im trying to make a list of the top 10.....and cant......
Lets look at the 3 obvious "best players".....
1) Joe Thomas....everyones favorite....proven NFL star....but an OL who can only help so much
2) Josh Gordon....and amazing talent....man amongst boys....who has personal demons...
3) Andy Lee.....a punter (nuff said)
Now.....who are the other 7?????......hmmmmmmmm.....
4) Joe Haden?.....oft injured....basically missed last year....1 concussion away from retirement?
5) RGIII ?......Oft injured....didnt even play last year....one tackle away from retirement?
6) Pryor?.....WR with exactly 1 catch in the NFL?.....
7) Bitonio?.....the ONLY other OL who is NFL caliber....?
Barnidge....a slow one year wonder, who barely played for 6-7 seasons, then suddenly is a star?9) Dont even know who 9 is....Traymon?....cause staff has him on the bench....
10)....anyone?......
Seriously....can someone name them?....because NO ONE stands out....not a one.....scrubs(all of em)
