Beginning to believe...

...based on what I'm reading from the beat writers and the team site (throwing in Catman's practice observations for good measure) that Matt Moore may get another shot at starting in the next game.

Even if he doesn't start, he may well be inserted if Clausen has a tough time, and probably a lot earlier than the last game (maybe after halftime).

Whether that should happen is debatable, but I'm seeing evidence that it will.

I think the only reason you start Matt Moore is if you think Clausen's development is being severely hurt as a result of poor play by the line and receivers. I really don't think they should have started Clausen when they did, but I feel that if you're going to pull Moore and let Clausen have his shot, you've got to give him the full season.

It's clear that winning games just doesn't really matter this year. This isn't to say the team's not trying, but more that we need to see some development out of players like Clausen and these young receivers.

I believe that as well and I also believe that is actually happening. Matt needs another opportunity without having to look over his shoulder.

The coaching staff really doesnt care anymore. its a sad situation to watch for the fans. The only thing I can look forward to now on sundays is to be drunk and hope for the best.

I'm not quite there yet, you know at the bare minimum there is pride. If Fox doesn't at least have that left to try and make something out of this season, he needs to retire all together then.

I agree. Since game 2, I've looked at 2010 as an extended pre-season.

We are the Cleveland Browns under Romeo Crennel. 2006-2007

Lame Duck coach

Jeff Davidson Offensive Coordinator for both teams.

Rip Scherer QB coach for both teams.

Anderson (Oregon State-6th round)/Quinn(ND)= Moore(Oregon State-UD)/Clausen(ND)

::chills::

There are minor discrepancies, however...

Hurney is pretty good at drafting, but coaching hires....

What the fug?

Why am I surprised by our retardation?

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
