Completely understandable. I'm usually a Debbie Downer when it comes to this organization but, right now, I'm suprisingly optimistic.wes_mantooth;1169100 wrote:yeah, i was referring to the KNR guys and beat reporters.
I get the hype with the QB position, but I am just so frustrated with the organization that I am in a "wait and see" mode.

Same with McCoy. Both were supposed to be super accurate. What pissed me off the most, and made me jump off the McCoy "bandwagon", was his lack of accuracy. I knew he had a weak arm but thought they might be able to work around it. The lack of accuracy was just baffling.Commander of Awesome;1169107 wrote:This is true, they've historically been down on McCoy and I remember them being all over Quinn and his lack of accuracy. Always thought that was odd as I recall that was one of his "main" attributes coming out of ND. What the hell happened?

I think alot of fans are going to be wondering what they were thinking that they thought colt could be the guy this year once they see Weeden.
i thought iggy hated weeden. i must be thinking of somebody else. my bad bro. its just nice to hear our qb hitting recievers deep, with good volicity, accuracy, and looking good. i can't wait til this season starts.

No, he definitely doesn't. He was one of the few, along with you and myself, who wanted them to draft him.shook_17;1169189 wrote:i thought iggy hated weeden. i must be thinking of somebody else. my bad bro. its just nice to hear our qb hitting recievers deep, with good volicity, accuracy, and looking good. i can't wait til this season starts.

Wait and see is over. You don't trade up to get Richardson and then draft a 28 yo qb if you're on a wait and see approach

One of the coaching additions that I think is going to make a BIG impact is that of WR's coach Nolan Cromwell. Cromwell is pretty intense and has already installed a drill where WR's have to catch passes, with their hands, around a white pole. The pole keeps the receivers from catching the ball with their body.

Pretty cool of Joe Haden. I dont follow the Browns but this guy seems pretty genuine and a damn fine football player.

Haha. Does Nolan Cromwell coach for the Browns? Where's Pick6 when I need him? Hey Pick....Cromwell was a quarterback in college...and he ended up catching footballs...and not throwing them.BR1986FB;1169303 wrote:One of the coaching additions that I think is going to make a BIG impact is that of WR's coach Nolan Cromwell.

I think this was a great, great pick. The bald headed guy from Minnesota that looks like Hitler knows how to stretch the defence too. I think we go 10-6 this year barring injuries.BR1986FB;1169080 wrote:Mary Kay Cabot ‏ @

The thing that jumped out at me in this article was this...
WR Bert Reed has had consecutive solid days of practice. Shurmur said the Florida State product, who caught 170 passes for the Seminoles, was a ''high-priority'' signing. ...

I hope this is true. That was fucking stupid last season. The first of many idiotic decisions by Shurmur. Yes I am blaming it on shurmur, because fuck him. We would have easily won 3 more games with the Brown jerseys.
