It's amazing how bad he was at everything.

right.  You'd think luck would have some role in his success.  He defied wisdon and luck (harder to do) and found stupid every time.

I am reluctantly, hesitatingly, cautiously, bashfully, and secretly liking what I have seen from Morgan.  (Sure, he drafted Legette and Brooks--I see the logic and the appeal--Legette was raw and Brooks was injured--but I see the plan).  Fitterer had no plan.

The best draft pick during the Fitterer / Rhule era was made by Rhule's wife, according to their "look at how cute we are" confessions.  I think Chuba was drafted before the longsnapper, another pick they laughed about when talking to the media as if to mock the draft process.  Who does that?  Who mocks the draft?

Morgan at least has positives. Still not sure if they outnumber the negatives yet.

I still don't understand how Fritterer worked that long as a scout and wasn't good at anything. Says a lot about the NFL.

But not the dumbest, somehow. The Browns actually gave Deshaun Watson a fully guaranteed contract; something even Tepper's desperate-for-a-QB ass wouldn't do.

We went to the mat with them on that one and only having a newer owner who walked at the deviation of fully guaranteed contract. What he did next wasn't much better...

The Browns and Jets hold the title together as the biggest dumbass teams due to their long history of dumbassery. But we are trying very hard to catch up.

Can you imagine if he had signed off on that deal?

As bad a shape as we've been in the last few years imagine having no 1st round picks the last 3 years AND having no cap space to sign any free agents because of that contract.

Somehow the Browns have managed to be better than us over that span (I don't think Kevin Stefanski gets the credit he deserves for that); the difference is I think we're about ready to come out of our mess and they're just starting to fully fall into theirs.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
