Well, maybe. One thing I would say is that if you use him too much, defenses will likely start taking cues and that might lead to less effectiveness and ultimately lead to bad things because it's too predictable. 

I’m super sure that him on the field, at least making defenses think of his presence, adds a ripple that none of our other “just stay in front of them” players offer.

Yes, I believe that things can get worse.

AT is not the old and slow guy that some had made him out to be. We're not really taking advantage of Chark like we're supposed to. Mingo certainly showed signs of life today. Hurst isn't really being used effectively in my opinion, and Tremble if nothing else can catch passes too. Now, of course you can blame it all on Bryce, but I'd say most of these issues come down to coaching and play calling. 

We're overusing Thielen IMO. We're trying to use him like he's a YAC guy and he just isn't. He's basically possession receiver at this point in his career. He can still get open but he's not a guy that's going to make a lot happen after the catch.

Chark is primarily a deep threat specialist. I just don't think he's a great pairing with Bryce Young. Not unless we can establish more threats to fee up opportunities for him to get one on one deep.

I don't know why we gave Hurst that contract or why fans expecting him to be a great threat. He is what he is. A low level starter/good #2 TE. What we've gotten out of him is basically what we should've expected. This is who he is.

Mingo does seem to be improving.

What is like to see out of Bryce given what we're currently doing and what he shown capable of executing is better ball placement. Watch Purdy tonight. His arm is average at best, but his anticipation and ball placement are both ELITE. He hits guys in stride and puts the ball where they don't lose any momentum so they can get that YAC. Way too often guys are having to sacrifice YAC ability just to secure the catch. Bryce has to have better anticipation and ball placement because he's never gonna have a cannon.

      You know what's worse about the QB situation?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I liked Sanders field reading abilities in general but his ceiling is fairly low and his shenanigans as a pro are, quite frankly, bizarre.  I don't think he is doing himself any favors by being a distraction while also being buried on the depth chart. Don't get me wrong, the media would attempt to make him a distraction regardless but it's not smart to feed into it when you aren't having a role at all. This can also be said of XL, BTW. We are no stranger to this. It's a lot easier to excuse Cam dressing like a deleted scene Harry Potter character at press conferences when he is looking like a man among boys on the football field.

      I hear Huddlers throwing things similar about Sanders whenever his name comes up, but to put it bluntly, we don't know that to be true. What we do know is that plenty of Browns fans thought that Sanders had the best camp out of the bunch, notwithstanding not being given the opportunity to play with the ones. What has been reported is that Dillon Gabriel is Stefanski's guy, and Andrew Berry thought that Sanders should be prioritized (even if it meant that he would eventually trade Sanders due to Sanders having more value). The fact that many Browns fans preferred (and prefer now) Sanders, and that there was a split---or difference of opinion between Stefanski and Berry, isn't really up for debate. It's true.  What this all means, at the end of the day, is that we don't know how Sanders compares to Hooker or anyone else because he really hasn't had an opportunity to play for whatever reasons.

      I don't think with a roster this bad we should be spamming picks at subpar QB's for development purposes. When the roster is a little more fleshed out, I would fully support that. Also, with our persistent evaluation problems, I can only imagine who we would have likely overdrafted in the past few years.
