A Decade? Really?

I never clicked on "Browns Rebuilding Efforts Set Back a Decade" on the Bleacher Report.  I mean, I just couldn't.

When you don't think with your brain, you are extreme in everything.  The flight-or-fight response...really panic...is nearer the surface.  These days, it manifests as lumping in a Massequoi with a Little, indicting an entire offensive line based on one weak spot, and generally exaggerating.

Basicly, it's non-thinking.

There is a draft and free agency period each year, and the poorest teams draft the highest.  The average NFL carreer is something like 4 or 5 years.  A decade, he says!  I can't read anything this guy writes!  I can't endure it!

How would you like to fly through turbulance with this guy sitting next to you?  What if the elevator gets stuck with him in there with you?  He's trying to call his wife to tell her he loves her and that he's plunging to his death.

I can safely assume that the guy thinks Weeden shouldn't have been drafted and that they should have drafted four or five wide recievers.  The one legit point I can think of is the QB transition.  So, Weeden will NEVER be any good now?  Or at least not for ten years?

Of the recievers, the number one culprit, Little, hadn't even played football the season before, had one season at wide reciever prior to that, and (like the rest of them) had to learn the West Coast offense without an off season!

None of them had an issue with drops prior to that, in college or in the pros.  It's irrational to write them off based on one crappy season!  And not even that--Little in the second half was much better than Little in the first half.  Little in the last four games had very few drops.

This guy ignores that.  He sees the stats for the season and that's it.  He ass umes zero progress or growth.  He doesn't even bother looking at jersey numbers when somebody drops a pass--ergo Massequoi and the rest are equally as bad.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that Little accounted for over HALF the drops for the entire team.  More than MoMass, Norwood, Hillis, the other backs and tight ends, and Cribbs combined.

But they got OPEN!!!  The system worked!

Are you telling me that a wide reciever can't remember how to catch, when for his whole life until one nightmarish, confused season, he never had a problem before?  Especially when Brad Childress is now here to make sure you get BENCHED when you drop passes?

What else could this guy be talking about?  Richardson is a running back, therefore shouldn't be drafted high no matter what?  Schwartze sucks?  Weeden made mistakes under inside pressure, therefore is a bum?  Weeden will make mistakes early, and because they don't go 10-6 right away all is lost...since he will never ever improve?

I don't know.  I don't want to find out.

A decade!  A DECADE!  STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!
