It's because it's just the Browns so who cares? It will be an excuse to watch their games. They don't care if the Browns lose. They just want to watch Johnny Football.
And it would be great to watch Johnny try to get away from Dick LaBeau! Awesome!
Josh Gordon isn't a top TEN reciever? The Steelers' draft was better than the Browns? This one's funny: The Steelers are ranked ninth (ahead of the Bengals by the way) and the Browns' 20th in one power ranking.
It's just the Browns. Who cares?
Self-Correction: RG3 was not the only exception to the junior quarterback sucking in year one rule. I forgot Cam Newton. We can debate the others, but they the best of them was mediocre.
I have to comment on Johnny Football in Las Vegas: Big deal.
Back to the National hate affair with the Browns: Pat Kirwan is a true professional and extremely smart/knowlegable. And he hates the Browns and loves the Steelers. Everything he says about the two teams is contaminated: Boredom for the Browns and worship for the Steelers.
A lot of them feel the same way. The Browns have been losing for so long, it's just sort of imprinted on them. Maybe if I wasn't a Browns fan, I wouldn't blame them...
Nah! Because I was an intelligence analyst, and I can't tolerate not thinking with your brain.
Solomon Wilcotts, as you will see, thinks with his brain. If he has any favorite teams, it's virtually undetectable, even to me. And you can't know as much about our team as he does without actually digging into and studying them.
Solomon, in fact, reminds me of me.
Especially on Manziel vs, Hoyer. His differences with Pat and several of the other real experts (ex-players/gms/coaches) isn't necessarily greater insight. It's more just about objectivity.
The other guys don't care if the Browns lose, and in fact expect them to lose no matter what happens anyway. Solomon--I can tell--gets frustrated as he argues with these guys. He keeps hammering on which quarterback gives the Browns the best chance to win right now. They keep bringing it back to magic, excitement, jersey sales, where he was drafted, etc.
It's not that Wilcotts is a closet Browns fan. It's just where he comes from: The hell with all the other crap. What will PETTINE do to WIN? PERIOD.
How can you rank the Browns 20th, while mentioning five Pro Bowlers and a great draft? How can you rank the Steelers draft way higher and cite two new starters, when the Browns might well have landed four, and two more who will in the future...AND a first and fourth round pick? How can you do that?
You can if you're biased. If you're not being objective. I can't stand it.
It bothers me on behalf of the Bengals, too. Their draft was so-so, but they're more talented than the Steelers too. And Buffalo: Everybody is saying the 2015 first rounder the Browns got from them will be a high pick.
This is mostly because they expect EJ Manuel to play the same, and that's just idiotic. He'll be a lot better, and now he has Watkins.
Even the Ravens will probably be better than the Steelers this season! Come ON, man!
On the home front, I'm thrilled by the collective intelligence of the fans! They must have installed a new filter at the water treatment plant or something. Many agree with Solly and me that Hoyer should start, and that Ray and Mike are handling the QB situation the way they should.
Those who disagree are actually attempting to use LOGIC:
"Shanahan tweaked his offense for RG3 and can do the same for Johnny". Johnny is smart, and mentally a prodigy. He has overcome every challenge in his path--quickly. All valid points. I'm not used to opponents who aren't tomato cans.
Not that you're right--but we could pop a beer and have fun talking about it.
Just quit talking about excitement, magic, jersey sales, where he was picked, and crap like that which means absolutely nothing (except to people who are bored by the Browns and think he'd be fun to watch.)
