    I agree, I think RAC is toast.

    When the owner orders you to change QBs that's all she wrote.

    One pro bowler was suspended, one is benched, and one leads the NFL in dropped passes. Might have been able to turn it around, but we'll never know now as they have now given up.

    It's becoming clear that somebody is about to blow this team up and start again from scratch.

    That seems to be cool with a lot of people though as long as they get to see BQ.

    Nobody wants to see this team start over, I sure as hell dont. But Im also not going to put blinders on and say everything is ok just because I dont want to see a rebuilding year. We cannot win with RAC as head coach.

    It's funny how people see things completely differently. I think if they had not made any changes at all, that would have been giving up.

    Dumberg,

    If someone is going to blow up the team, why don't you strap on the suicide vest and do us all a favor and blow yourself!

    Say goodbye LumAss!

    They asked Jamal Lewis for his input, but he 'Danced Around' the question.

    They have all danced around it and said the canned team type answer. Just like they should.

    The last part is what they are smart enough to keep in their head.

    Willie intimated that it wasn't RAC's decision.

    So let me get this straight - when RAC declares DA the starter it is gospel, when he declares he chose BQ as starter someone else must have made the decision?

    RAC said it was his choice. End of story. You seem to believe RAC only when he supports DA. The fact is this is out of character for RAC and that is why everyone is surprised, and if DA wasn't such a shitty QB this season he would not have had to make the move.

    People whose job is on the line might just make moves out of character. And really, this isn't the first time RAC has made a "out of character" move. He put Thomas in day one, even though he was a rookie.

    All you have to do is read or listen to what RAC said as to why he made the move. In a nut shell he said the O is at the bottom of the league and ain't getting it done. That starts with the QB.

    1. There is no way that the Browns are going to the play-offs. Take off the rose-colored glasses and remove that scenario and the Superbowl one from the list. I know that as long as there are probabilities, there are possibilities but let's get real.

    2. RAC is toast at the end of the season. Not because he's a scape goat but because he's a terrible coach. His teams have lacked discipline, his game plans have been weak, his strategic calls from the sideline lack football wisdom. His coaches don't employ the arsenal of options available to them and, mostly, because he accepts losing and backs-up players even when they don't put out on the field the way they should.

    3. This team needs to start building through the draft. Stop giving away draft choices and paying through the nose for impact players. Instead, start moving non-performers in exchange for additional draft picks. Concentrate on finding gems throughout the draft rounds.

    4. The team needs the right leadership. It's clear to me that a DA camp has formed. That silo needs to come down quickly (eg. Frye). Winslow has to go through a trade in the off-season - his attitude destroys all the positives that come with his talent. Quinn and Rodgers bring in a much more competitive and desirable attitude.

    5. I still say that we are one good coach and one good draft away from really being competitive. Seriously, the receiving core has been hampered by injury and we are not the same team without two good wide-outs.

    6. We need help all across the D. Some positions are solid in starters but with no back-up. Some are really mediocre (eg line-backers).

    I really hope that BQ excels tomorrow. Not only would I be happy for the Browns, I would be happy that it would put a nail in the coffin of many ------ on this team.
