First, NFL Radio's Mike Nolan (former Chiefs GM) might be the dumbest smart guy I've ever heard.
In the "Do as I say not as I do" discussion about how to build a team, he talks about giving coaches time. He listed several examples, and when he got to the Browns, he said Hue Jackson should get five years because of the terrible mess he inherits.
The mess includes Haden, Thomas, Duke, Barnidge, the two guards, Shelton, Orchard, Kruger...all the draft picks--
I'm sick of repeating all this stuff just do some freaking homework nimrod!
Five years? Really? Since the salary cap and free agency the time frame for rebuilding dropped to 2-3 years.
Special teams takes one off season. Rebuilding teams tend to draft high for at least the first two seasons, and if they draft well, they will turn up three to five contributors/eventual starters in each draft.
Systems change, and so do veteran players. Each new coach picks veteran free agents who best fit their systems to accelerate the transition.
A local writer wrote a decent article asking if Hue Jackson could fix the quarterback problem.
But he described McCown as "adequate". What a load of crap! He did what he did without a running game, Travis Benjamin as his top receiver, playing from behind and with serious injuries!
You point to his wins and losses? Aaron Rodgers wouldn't have won any more games under the same circumstances. How lazy.
And this is a Memorex Moron. He closes out by wondering if any quarterback can get it done considering the Browns lack of playmakers.
This guy reads everybody else's stuff, and won't acknowledge the existence of Corey Coleman, Duke Johnson, Gary Barnidge, Pryor/Gordon etc until somebody points them out for him.
The Patriots have Gronk, Edelman, and...umm...Ok well Denver had uh...The Steelers had Brown, that running back, and...
Wow and here I thought you needed at least five playmakers or something!
Just shut up. No no, you're done. Just go home. "Playmakers" man I'm sick of that expression. And people who write without thinking, and in cliches.
:(!@$&%¡¿%!?!!
Now THIS is a thoughtful, intelligent article. This fantasy football writer isn't kind to the homies, but I can't argue with him. The guy really did his homework and was objective. That's all I ask!
I don't like what reporters have said about how RG3 has looked, either, but hey--they saw what they saw! Okay!
Just think with your brain!
