What nobody is talking about, is that the Browns could have a dominate top 5 defense this year, and maybe the best defensive back field in the game if Justin Gilbert can learn from donte hitner, and joe haden.

See this I actually agree with, Browns could have the best secondary in the league.

I think Conner Shaw will beat out Thigpin for the 3rd QB position and may challenge for 2nd this season. 27-5 as a starter and 63.4% with a 24-1 td to int last season. 4.55-40 was fastest for qb’s at combine.

I saw that, sucks for them. [/quote]
Great for the Browns. (I hate that i have to root against the Bills this year as they are my 2nd team)
Josh Gordon on police blotter again, arrested for DWI. What a monumental waste of talent. On the bright side he did all of this before the Browns paid him a ton of money(although with the NFL having nothing guaranteed that doesn’t really mean much).
At first i wanted to give Gordon the benefit of the doubt because weed is not a drug, every pro athlete gets high, and he just hasnt figure out how to beat the tests like everyone else.
HOWEVER, Driving while impaired, when you’re already in trouble, and on a holiday weekend is about the dumbest thing ever.
Goodbye Josh Gordon, maybe you can play for the cleveland gladiators one day because you nfl career should hopefully be over.
Thank god the Browns havent paid him and we only wasted a second round pick.

There are more pros in the NFL that don’t touch weed, than pros that do.[/quote]
It’s alot closer than most people realize, and im including the NBA. The fact remains that the number guys getting caught is nowhere close to amount who do get high.

as a Browns fan i consider myself an expert in watching bad qb play. Hoyer was something different. [/quote]
Agreed, Hoyer was impressive in his few starts and I honestly think it may be as simple as “trusting” your playmakers to make plays.
With two matchup nightmares like Cameron and Gordon, you can’t always let the defense “take em away” with double-teams; sometimes you gotta challenge em anyway and let your elite guys do their thing.
Plenty of highlights last year of Cutler and McCown throwing into double-coverage and letting A Jeffrey go get it. And Kurt Warner is a HOF’er because he allowed his playmakers in STL and ARI to make plays, safety help be damned. etc.
Seems so simple (and obviously you need elite talent at the skill positions) and yet all the ‘checkdown-specialist’ QBs consistently refuse to do it on sundays.

The holiday weekend (read: DUI checkpoints everywhere) factor is easily the dumbest part.

2 - Unrelatedly, I know there’s some hardcore fans here who love to geek out on the x’s and o’s, chess matches between coordinators and just overall intricacies of the pro game.
On that topic, there’s simply nothing better than Matt Bowen’s series of NFL 101 articles. Here’s a few of his (excellent) published stuff:
