They brought in 5 QB's and a truckload of WR's and guess what...they all suck. That should be telling you something about their evaluation skills. Oh...and Wentz isn't a top 20 QB according to them.

They've shown those skills in other things.

I gotcha.....but still, I have to ask the age old question:

@canton-dawg said:

One would think that somewhere along the the way, the law of averages would kick in and the Browns would hit on a couple of playmakers. Hasn't happened yet.

Just think what a couple of real blue chippers would do to those empty seats on Sundays

Isn't that amazing? I mean really. What other team has ever had so much to choose from with so many choices to use...and still come up snake eyes. Doing the opposite would have ended up better with this bunch of hockey talent

We brought in a QB and FA WR. They both sucked. What's your next bright idea? 

Are you aware of how little free agents want to play here?

If at first, or second, or third, try, try again? Kizer sucks, as does Kenny POS Britt. If Williams didn't want him just more damning evidence that the FO doesn't know what the hell they're doing....

It starts with drafting or bringing in FA QB's and WR's.

You know, those skill positions that this FO absolutely suck at doing?

Hue isn’t blameless, but when the FO hands you a loaf of bread and a pile of steaming sh!t...all you can make is sh!t sandwiches.

....... all served on a Kizer roll.

This has been my gut feeling all along.

Sounds like Hue butted heads with them over cutting osweiller, haden, not attempting to get Jimmy G. Feel like based on rumors and results that the FO has no clue what they're doing.

Defense has made a lot of progress, looks better every week despite still being rather thin on talent especially in the secondary - would be a shame to blow all of that up.

Offense sucks a fat one, but it's hard to be successful with what looks to be the worst QB+WR play in the NFL.

Now, what I WOULD be in favor of is an Offensive Coordinator.  Now who, I have no idea, but I'd be cool with a new offensive coordinator that could perhaps breathe a little life into our stagnant attack.  Again, we'd need to add actual TALENT, either via free agency, draft, or both, but I don't want to send Hue packing without trying everything first.  And that includes finding a talented offensive mind and pairing him with Hue.

No, your ideas for fixing it matter too. I'm guessing you have none.

Our front office...well...that might be a different story.  I'm not in love with those guys, and they've whiffed on two potential QB's that could've saved our butts.  I think most of us realize Wentz and Watson wouldn't quite be having the same type of seasons with our abysmal talent, but I also think it's safe to say they'd be doing much better than Kizer.

Lol pretty sure the "whatever" line is when he calls it a fish and Jerry says "mammal."

I know but it fit Hue's jumping into the lake comment just too well to pass up. Some of us adapt to our players better than others.

What shots, exactly?

Not re-signing Pryor was GOOD.  Britt was viewed as a solid but unspectacular signing this past season.

Not re-signing Mitch was GOOD.  [Shon Jackson > schwartz in the total of run+pass]

Signing OL's this offseason that don't get our QB Luck'd was GOOD.

Getting the extra second while kicking the tires of Ostrich was GOOD -- in fact, it was so good it was[is still] viewed as a revolutionary outside-the-box "first".

There is no silver bullet to fixing the problems on the Browns team.. and not even one or two players from the OSU defense will "fix" it.

[For our out-of-state board members, the OSU defense is nicknamed "the silver bullets"]

First question: What, precisely, is your desired goal?  If your actual objective is on-field success then you need to look at a much more granular level to define that "success."

Is it "stopping the run?" If so then Cleveland is leading the league at 2.9 YPA. Couldn't say that last year - or any year of any previous organization.

Is it "stopping the pass"? Here we're 24th in YPA.. To nobody's surprise, this could be improved

Is it "yards per rush attempted?" If so then Cleveland defines the league average at 4.1 -- this may not be success but it's not failure.

Is it "total yards passing" ? Cleveland is 19th  -- sure, improve this, and it shocks nobody that NE is #1 in only this team stat.

Is it "Yards per passing attempt" ? Here we're in the bottom quartile at 30th.

So, it seems the areas we need to work on are pass D and pass O.  That's much more precise than "EVERYONE GO DIE IN A FIRE NOW KTHXBAI"

Great post.
