I saw the trailer last weekend and was underwhelmed.  Got me thinking though if I would be pumped up as a Browns fan or if I would like the story to use a fictional Panther team instead.  

 

Anyone else heard anything about the movie?  Seems quiet on talk radio about it also, I would think they would be talking it up.

I am not a Kevin Costner fan.   The plot:  Without having read or seen anything about it---A losing team, a losing coach and a GM struggle to not only save the franchise from losing, but from moving.  It is a team beloved by the blue-collar Dawg Pound fans, but one that has failed miserably.  And little Timmy's dying wish is, if he can't get that kidney transplant, for the Browns to hoist the Lombardi. Kevin Costner plays a wheelin' and dealin' GM, standing on his last leg with his back against the wall, as he navigates through the draft like Blackbeard around the outer banks.  And Like Blackbeard, Costner is an unpopular Swashbuckler, a free-spirited trend setter, working against the grain and all of humanity until his values are realized.  No treasure chest, but he manages to dig a Lombardi from the sand of doubt--a trophy buried by naysayers and skeptics long ago.  And Timmy gets that kidney transplant during halftime of the Super Bowl, where the Browns beat the Seahawks on an incredible play by Costner's controversial #1 draft pick.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
