This has got to be Hue's last stand. He must have some kinda belief in Haley.  It's not like either are necessarily poo coaches---maybe head coaches---so maybe this time really will be the charm.  With all the picks and talent,  there is no excuse for not showing marked improvement (whether that be four,  five,  six wins,  or even more).

Couple questions for you guys who live & breath this stuff....

I hear a lot of talking heads praising Hue Jackson, but is he hampered by a completely inept front office and if so...

...why did Todd Haley take the OC job there? And why isn't Haley getting any looks for an HC job?

It's plenty of reason not to show improvement...

1) Still no QB

2) Who's the defense gonna stop

If marked improvement is winning a 4 games or less then ok.

 May seem ridiculous but for them I think the standards should be playoffs. Whether it's 10, 9, 8 wins that gets them in, anything less than playoffs and I'd fire Jackson.

It's not like they don't have any highly touted defensive players. I know that they have at least two in the last couple of years.  If Hue can't get a QB this year,  then what's to make anyone think that he'll ever be able to get one? It's not like he hasn't had opportunities.  I realize that technically he wasn't the GM,  but he is the one that is supposed to know QBs.  They have great defensive prospects and offensive prospects,  and that's before the draft.  They need to make it happen, and show better in all aspects of team building and/or maximizing the players that they have.

Because Haley is reputed to be an absolute a--hole to work with. He's good at his job but people who have to be around him can't stand him.

To be honest, that's Jackson too. Hue also has a rep for being willing to stab colleagues in the back to get ahead.

Between the two of them, these guys have enough ego to fill up a small country.

Put it all together and you've got a working relationship that's probably going to be... interesting.

Interesting in the way that a massive train wreck is interesting.

That's a big leap.  We'll see what they do in the off-season.

I'm guessing the Browns are hoping that having guys known to be a--holes as head coach and OC will produce some sort of a--hole synergy that will make them effective together.

Of course, if they just turn their a--holiness on each other instead, well...

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
