I've never weighed-in on the issue, but it was always my opinion that McCoy would be a good quarterback if the offensive line were improved and a real offensive coordinator were put in charge of the playcalling.

I think I've changed my mind, though. He seems to make poor decisions and bad throws even when he's not under pressure.

Just as one example, he goes deep way too often when the runningback has slipped open in the middle for an easy 8 yards.

Maybe that's the coaches decision. I don't know. It all just looks so... ill-advised.

Then why did he get traded from Denver for not getting along, and why did the players have to give him a fccking intervention? Lol that's unheard of to me. Sounds like a locker room cancer.

Do you think you can just make sh!t up and nobody will call you on it?

He was traded because a new coach came in and wanted to use "his guy", and because they wanted another quarterback on the roster. The Denver fans AND the other players loved Hillis (except for Moreno, probably).

There was no "intervention". They reiterated that on the broadcast today. That was a team leadership group that meets every week, which Hillis is a member of.

The media has worked their "hit job" magic and performed a successful character assassination on Hillis. And too many fans have fallen for it.

Baloney. The Browns need a RT.

A couple of decent guards would help, too.

Like the announcers said during the Indy game, Hillis gets better the more reps he gets.

That's not going to happen if he and Hard-to-catch-esty are only getting about a dozen reps each.

He will underperform, Montari-Oh-No-They-Threw-It-To-Me will underperform, and the Browns will continue to play below their abilities.

On the bright side, with poor production from Hillis, the Browns should be able to use that as leverage against him in contract negotiations.

And maybe that's what they've been trying to accomplish all along.

These complaints are ridiculous.

We scored 17 points.

Do any of you realize how hard that is to do when you don't send an offensive line onto the field?

Geez!
