lol, seriously though, not too much to talk about around here I don't think. I'd be interested in hearing how Little is progressing and how the D is shaping up.

This Franchise is dead to me... John Hughes?... Really.

I would rather have the movie director than this fat guy.

Terrible. Regardless if they stuck with McCoy, neither of these two guys still has a receiving threat. Richardson is a nice piece but what's to stop a team from loading up the box and challenging their subpar WR-corps? Why invest in a QB who will be too old before the roster is allowed to be built in around him? He'll be in his mid 30's before this roster is close to competitive in that division.

That's what I was thinking. No upgrade at WR. Colt struggled with no play makers and Weeden will too. It's not like they're a QB away from competing for championships. They should've taken traded down and taken Hill or Quick, heck any WR. Little will be good in a couple of years, but could not catch last season. Browns were #1 in dropped passes last season.

Colt struggled because his arm limits what he can do, when you have no running threat and your QB isn't capable of going deep you have a very easy offense to shutdown.

We have a running game now with Richardson and a QB who has an arm that allows him to make all the throws.

Richardson alone is going to make our receivers lives much easier due to teams have to respect our ground game, Little showed he can play last year and I think he'll be even better this year (remember he was coming in after not playing for a year last season), Massaquoi had his best season his rookie year when he had a strong armed QB (Derek Anderson) throwing him the ball down field, Cribbs is good if you can get him the ball in space so he can use his play making ability, then we have Norwood who showed he can be a dependable slot guy last year although with his small build he is injury prone.

Now with having a strong armed QB we have two speed guys who could be weapons in Carlton Mitchell who hasn't played much to this point and new 4th round pick Travis Benjamin.

The Browns don't have a great set of wide receivers by any means but I don't think they're as poor as they appeared last season either, like I said we had Hillis acting like a ***** all year and then Hardesty had a really disappointing year, Ogbonnaya was solid but teams don't stack the box to stop Chris Ogbonnaya.

Having a running game and a QB with a stronger arm will open things up in a big way for our WRs, if the FO thought Colt would be capable of leading the team they wouldn't have chosen a QB in the first round. Holmgrem has obviously seen enough of Colt to determine he isn't a starting caliber NFL QB at this point in time, this team has plenty of holes so if he thought Colt was the man for the job no way they pick Weeden there.

I'm not bashing Colt at all, I like him a lot he plays with a ton of heart but he just doesn't have the arm to be a starting NFL QB, I hope we keep him in the backup role because I think he can thrive in that role and if you need him for a few games he can do enough but I don't think he is a starting NFL QB.

*Edit - I'll add this team definitely needs a #1 WR still but I think people will be surprised how much better our receivers look this season compared to last year.

Re: Browns Backers (OS Branch)

What do you guys make of this:

Browns introduce eager Chudzinski as coach

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8835825/rob-chudzinski-introduced-new-coach-cleveland-browns

The Browns have always been a part of Rob Chudzinski's life. Now, he's the man in charge.

What do you think it means for Weeden?

What do you think of the return to the 34?

This threads been idle for a while...hope there's still some interest in what I believe to be one of the more interesting young teams (very possibly) on the way UP!

Thoughts?

I preferred Wisenhunt or McDaniels over Chud

Re: Browns Backers (OS Branch)

I think its time the Browns make a switch at QB. Brian Hoyer is in a slump. I doubt he will keep his job much longer. Its time to bench him. Its time to bring in Johnny Manziel. Hoyer has 11 TDs and 12 INTs. The time is right. They need to bring the QB that can allow them to continue winning. Johnny Football gives them the best chance for that. In the last 4 games, he had 1 TD and 8 INTs. In that 4 game stretch, they were 1-3. The guys on NFL.com even posted their opinion on this.

In a related update, the Browns coach will address the media at 4 pm. Hopefully, we'll get some news on the aftermath of that last minute defeat yesterday against the Colts. Also, Jay Glazer said that the Head Coach should be fired for stay loyal to someone who is so detrimental to the team. So many opinions on this matter today.

Re: Browns Backers (OS Branch)

Here is the golden plan to fix the Browns in 2015 and future.....Trade up to draft Jameis Winston, then you sign Tim Tebow to a 1 year deal and make him ur 3rd string QB and u let him use that year to put Jesus into Manziel and Winston. Boom. Done.

I think I will revive this thread, but I don't know where to post this.

Is this the year Mayfield will get real money?
