I don't think they're expecting him to come out. No way is he not in the top 10 QB's if he comes out, probably top 5.

Any word on Hoyer and his recovery? I will say this, unless we somehow end up with the chance of getting Bridgewater, I don't think we should spend our first pick on a QB. Just don't see anyone worthy of that high a pick.

1. Houston
2. Jacksonville
3. Tampa Bay
4. Atlanta
5. Washington
6. Minnesota
7. Oakland
8. Buffalo
9. Cleveland
10. St. Louis - If they lose out or win maybe one more, they could potentially have 2 of the top 5 or 6 picks of the draft since they get Washington's pick.

St Louis is easily winning that trade. Bradford doesn't get hurt, and they are probably a .500 team.

No doubt. They're probably looking at a playoff run next year. I personally think Jeff Fisher is one of the best in the business, and he will have them winning on a regular basis.

I was just about to post this lol.

I've never heard of this guy, but his videos of him interviewing people at the muni lot brought the lulz. Browns fans are the best.

4. Tampa Bay
5. Minnesota
6. Oakland
7. Cleveland
8. Jacksonville
9. Buffalo
10. Pittsburgh

Oakland at NY Jets - Jets just stink right now and have been embarrassed the last 3 weeks. I think the Raiders will win this game.

Buffalo at Tampa Bay - Buffalo has lost 6 of their last 8. A Tampa and Oakland win gets Cleveland to the 5th spot.

The Clownies should move up another spot with Tampa Bay winning.

Next weeks epic toilet bowl of Washington at Atlanta will also help with draft position.

Four teams are 4-10 with only Houston and Washington worse. Good chance after Bridgewater goes to Houston and Clowney to Washington, Cleveland could get the second QB on the board. But they will win one meaningless game and pick 7th again.

It's hilarious this thread was made weeks ago, and the browns still only have 4 wins.

Is anyone still sold on this coaching staff? Not sure how they have been getting a pass lately. You don't just choke away so many wins in a season and not blame the coaching staff. When your team loses the way it does, you have to look at the coaching staff not being able to coach these guys to close out games. Hell look at the browns on 3rd down situations (especially 3rd and long), what is the conversion % on the Browns D during 3rd down? They relax on third and long, relax before the first half, and they relax toward the end of the game. THAT'S COACHING.

It's like these guys thought the season was in the bag after the Ravens game. NO, you have to go into every NFL game looking to battle, otherwise you are going to fucking lose, even to the worst teams in the league.

I've never been 100% sold on chud, but this season hasn't done anything to make me more or less optimistic about the coaching staff.

He's the lowest paid head coach in the NFL. $2 million doesn't buy you very much these days.

Lowest paid head coach in the NFL, most cap room in the NFL, at least we know Jimmy has had a good year.

Let's take a look at the positives.

We've got a good, young core of players at key positions.
We've got experience to go with that.
We've got a good trio of coaches
We've been in basically every game this year. Young teams need to find ways to win, and first you have to go through some tough losses.
We've got an owner who cares about winning. Cares about this organization.
We've got a GREAT front office(regardless of what the fans think)
We have 5 picks in the top 100 this year. We will be getting, AT THE VERY LEAST, 3 starters/difference makers to add to this team.
We are literally a QB away from the playoffs. Simple as that.

Give this front office another offseason to get some players in here, and give this team another offseason to really get the playbook down and we will be what the Chiefs were the past 2 years.

We have been in basically every game the last 3 seasons, even with McCoy under center. It is time to start closing games out. No more excuses.

You mean that we are the only team that hired a first time head coach?

Silly me, didn't realize guys like Mike McCoy, Trestman, Arians, Marrone, Bradley and Kelly had been NFL head coaches before. All those 1st timers and we still were the biggest cheapskates.

Try using your head for something other than a hat rack before replying like that.

Only relevant if they had someone different lined up and they lost him over money. I don't recall that happening.

Everyone of those guys, besides kelly and chud, got 4 year deals. Chud and kelly got 5 year deals. Take away that extra year, and you've got yourself roughly the same yearly salary than the other ones. Also, Chip Kelly was always going to get a shitload of money. Look at his pedigree compared to Chud.
