Shore up that O-line, and get Colt some real targets to throw to. Damn, Lerner has the money, let’s get it done!!!

Another flop to add to the resume’ of an egotistical overbearing clown who hasn’t accomplished anything in almost 20 years. The game has passed him by in more ways than one and sadly Cleveland probably won’t be his last cash grab.

The special teams play has been solid in general save for last week’s horrendous deficiencies. Thank goodness we didn’t let Dawson go the way of the dodo. The offense? Well it’s a slow start, but 2-3 with an admittedly weak schedule is not abysmal. 0-5 and sucking ass is abysmal. Just hold the line, let the process unfold and pray like hell. The Browns will rise again!

1. Trent Richardson RB
1b (via ATL). Michael Floyd WR

McCoy’s not that bad but its hard to judge him with the lack of offensive firepower the Browns have

Traded up with who exactly? It’s not as if every team in the draft looks to trade down lol. I’m glad Holmgren didn’t surrender the entire draft for AJ Green. It’s a building process and you need picks to do that. Would AJ Green make the Cleveland offense better? Obviously. But I don’t think the record looks much different with him. I’d rather our defense be playing like the Cincy’s than us have AJ Green.

There’s only a few qb’s that can cover up a bad organization and one of them just signed a long term deal in Indy.

The Atlanta Falcons gave Vick a talented tight end and spent high draft picks on receivers for him, and he just plain couldn’t get it done there. But McCoy is just one of many QBs who could probably do something, but never even had half the support that Vick had.

Some teams just don’t want to invest in their young quarterbacks. They seem to expect there to be instant offense as soon as the kid puts on a jersey, regardless of the line or receivers.

Even if that is too steep a price, they may have better opportunities for Landry Jones, Matt Barkley and Robert Griffin.

They are doing the smart thing right now, see what you have in Colt McCoy, they will definitely know by the end of the year as what direction they need to go in.

Then the only question is, are they smart/bold enough to do it.

Try getting him someone who can catch and make plays to throw to. As far as Dalton, anyone with half a brain could guess he would be the best QB in this draft of mostly overrated QB’s *cough* Gabbert, Ponder, Locker *cough* Ultimately he is still with the Bungles and they aren’t going to be topping Baltimore or getting a wild card

Add the fact that they didn’t get a real training camp due to the lock out and it’s understandable that they’re off to a rocky start.

Maybe work on the O-Line and getting better receivers…and get the running game going, before considering McCoy anything remotely close to a bust.

But if they do, I’d gladly take him in Indy.

McCoy isn’t the problem; you’re lucky to HAVE Colt McCoy. He played in a pro system in college and was the winningest QB in history! Of course, he had an OL and receivers that could run routes and catch passes. Just a few weeks ago, you very people were singing his praises. Fickle damn Cleveland fans. The kid is a winner and he’ll win for you. Get a coach and get him some targets; he’ll deliver. He always has…

The Browns should have taken AJ Green? Well that’s an awesome idea if he was available when Cleveland was on the clock, but he wasn’t.

The guy is throwing on the run in most plays yet the Browns offense has been in 4 out of 5 games up to the last snap in every game not to mention going from like 29th to 14th in passing touchdowns in one season. I’m not seeing the whole “negative” part yet. If the Browns and their fans don’t want McCoy, I can think of about 6 or 7 teams that would take him and probably win with him right now. The guy is producing average numbers when he should be flat out sucking. Imagine if he had a real offense around him.

McCoy has regressed since last year . yes we need more from a suspect O ,Line and a very suspect receiving corps ..here we go again .. a strong running attack helps a young QB Out ..why throw it 40 times or more a game when it isn’t working ?

They are successful because Dalton has a solid running game behind him, and the Bengals are committed to running the ball. The Browns aren’t committed to the run, they are committed to the dink and dunk passes.

Colt McCoy would be the last guy I’d point a finger at for the Browns problems on offense. I’d say no playmakers at WR would be the area of concern, and poor offensive line play due to injuries.

2 picks in the first rd, I hope they put those to use on the other side of the ball. The right side of the line needs to be addressed for the last 3 yrs, and a true #1 receiver to draw the double coverage is well overdue.
Shurmer needs someone up in the box calling the plays, 1st year coach taking on the HC and OC position, no wonder the guy looks like a steelers fan in a strip club….Lost and confused at what he’s looking at.

Not defensive help but a playmaker receiver. Some ownership just never gets it. Of course they should have taken AJ Green.

Shurmur is NOT an offensive coach and with no offensive help (Colt is not Peyton Manning) he is not going to succeed on his own.

Look at what has happened to Indianapolis with Manning hurt. Get Colt some help and see what happens with an OC too.

I like McCoy when he has a running game behind him. Stienbach getting hurt has hurt the ground game. I’m now beginning to wonder if Mangini was doing a decent job. Hillis deserves his contract. He’s been the only bright spot outside of Joe Thomas we’ve had in years. Hardesty has bad knees and fumbles.
