Shurmur's rigid inflexibility will be his downfall. He has the players (Richardson/Weeden) to put up some impressive offensive numbers but he's neutering them. This offense COULD be real good if Shurmur played to his player's strength's like good coaches do.
Why NOT come out in a jailbreak/hurryup offense? It seems to be what Weeden thrives in.
When all's said & done and Shurmur gets fired he'll likely think "what brought this on?" It was your "love" of this stupid Holmgren/rigid (3/5/7 step drop) WCO that cost you your head, dumbass.
Makes me sad to even think about the hiring. I remember at the time hearing rumors that John Fox would be the guy because of the Bob Lamonte connection to Holmgren. He some how ended up in a Denver situation that at the time seemed worse than Cleveland, and instead we got Shurmur.
Fox and his flexibility it turns out is exactly what this franchise needed.
On CBS yesterday they handed Shannon Sharpe a Browns schedule and asked him where the win was going to come, and he said this team has 1-15, 2-14 written all over it. Bill Cowher jumped in and defended the Browns saying he thinks they will find 3-4 wins.
Either way, who would have guess when Homgren came to town the win total would decrease from 5 to 4 to less than 3 in his 3 years here. Hell of a rebuild I tell you.
