Nate Burleson Thinks With his Brain.

I'm becoming a big Nate Burleson fan.  This voice in the wilderness seems impressed by the C U R R E N T Browns regime and their moves, as opposed to P R E V I O U S regimes and T H E I R moves, along with the C U R R E N T roster DO YOU U N D E R S T A N D?

Nate was a wide receiver (and kick rerurner).  You could say he knows a thing or two about wide receivers, quarterbacks, and defensive backs, even if you give him zero credit for anything else...ok?

Nate is doubling down on his "look out for the Browns" statements from a couple weeks ago.  No doubt some of his colleagues are trying to size him up for a straight jacket,  but he's really more rational than they are.

Remember this:  Reality is reality.  It has nothing to do with politics, numbers, emotions, or peer pressure.  If you don't see what Nate and I see, you are a sheep.  You are not objective.  You are not even thinking.  Meahh!  Bahh!

Nate focused on DeShone Kizer this time.  Burleson points out that consensus gave him the most upside of any quarterback in this draft class.

Nate Burleson as a player was not a deep threat.  He was a number two.  That means he can't be stuck on arm strength, and insinctively likes guys who can spread the ball around, and are accurate, and (especially) are intelligent.

Nate really seems to believe in DeShone Kizer.

More importantly, Nate sees the obvious: If you think this team is still "several years" away from relevancy, you're ignoring a whole ton of talent, and some very good coaching.  
Expecting them to overtake the Steelers in 2017 is overly optimistic, but picking them last in the AFC North is thoughtless reflex.

Translating english to english: If I say I wouldn't be surprised if it rains tomorrow, I mean that rain would not surprise me.  It also wouldn't surprise me if it didn't rain.  Nobody predicted to Adam Shefter that Osweiler would start game one.

The player in question clearly thought Osweiler was looking good, but might have simply meant that it was a close race between Kessler and him.

In the same article, Hue Jackson is quoted for the hundredth time citing ACCURACY and avoiding turnovers as his priorities for a quarterback, and these favor Kessler.

Niether quarterback is being attacked in OTAs, so nobody should be surprised that Osweiler looks good.  In real games last season, Cody Kessler responded well to pressure.  Osweiler did not.

I have every confidence that he'll have improved over the offseason, and he returns to a similar system to Kubiak's, but people are getting stupid with all this wishful thinking and Kessler-hate.

Bill Polian might be right about Sashi Brown not doing everything he could to win games last season.  I guess you could call it tanking.

Good for him.  He got Myles Garrett out of it.

He's clearly going for it this season.
