First 1/3 of this article is pretty telling

This guy speaks of Anthony Richardson as if Cam Newton never existed.

  Also, I don’t recall hearing that the playbook was Browns, just that it was a collaborative effort.  Even so, Reich’s sequence of plays is more of a problem than the play designs, on top of the abysmal game management.  
 

 Promote Brown to play call duties before you decide to can the guy…

Brown wrote most of the playbook. I’m not sure if the ‘answer is on the roster’.

It's one thing to write the playbook. It's another to be the one using it. Think of it like an artist who draws an out line then hands it to someone else to interpret and color. Guarantee you its not going to look the same as what the original artist intended.

I don’t think it matters much who is calling plays. Brown wrote the playbook. This is his system too.

Remember, Brown was coaching RBs the past few years. This is his first go at OC in the NFL. 
 

IMO, Brown will be the first to get the boot. Frank will get another year with the ultimatum to find a better OC with a better offensive plan.

Maybe I’m just trying to find any glimmer of hope here, but I could’ve sworn out offense seemed to come to life during preseason when Brown was running it. Am I wrong here?

When he said they had a call that could go to Theilen and only him, and he wasn’t even in the game, he absolutely told on himself. This offense is stuck in the past. It’s Kanye the least innovative, least “dictating to the defense” offense that I’ve ever seen us run. It’s just slow and dated and boring. If Young was in Houston he’d be lighting it up like Stroud and if Stroud were here he’d seem stuck in the mud like Young. Reich has GOT to give up supreme control over the offense. 

There’s a part in that article talking about how things have evolved from plays that are only created for one person, which made me immediately thing of the Thielen situation.
 

He announced to the world how outdated he is when he made that statement.

I'm just wondering why Tepper, Fitterer and company ever thought that Reich was some type of offensive play calling guru. Fitterer and Morgan have seen enough football to know that Reich ain't the business. Someone had to lead Tepper down the wrong path. Simplistic schemes just aren't going to fool anybody in the modern NFL. 

Reich get's undeserved credit for making Wentz look good.

I've been calling for Reich's firing since week 2. The offense is horrendous, and a huge step back from Ben McAdoo of all people (and Joe Brady). It's unfair to pen such a predictable, ancient offense on Bryce and the players. "But Andy Dalton" that was in spite of Seattle's putrid defense and also playing prevent in the 4th

naw fam, most coaches aint going to turn down a head coaching job, no matter the reputation of the owner. its only 32 in the world and its possible you will never been this hot again.

    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
    • It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now. 
    • The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
