Rhona LaCanfora wrote another steaming pile of excrement in the wake of the massacre on the lake.
I'm sick of clueless cretins decrying Kizer's "lack of weapons" as if Njoku, DeValve, Johnson and yes: Isaiah Crowell don't exist.
And Corey Coleman has been injured, but was far from "ineffective" in 2017. That's crap! He came here as a rookie in 2016 never having run a real route tree, for crying out loud, and you've already interred him!?!
Rhona talks about the "rifts" between the front office and coaching staff, like he has anually through various regimes for several years now.
No such rift has existed here between Jackson and Brown, which is why Hue is still saying that this team can win now. He refers one question to the front office, and I heard LaCanfora all the way over here: "AHAH! THE SMOKING GUN!"
Jimmy Haslam allegedly made a conference call to Sashi and company after that travesty last sunday, obstensibly to reassure them. To LaCanfora, this looks like the "kiss of death".
Well, Rhona is convinced that Hue Jackson is a great Head Coach, and that the reason his team is losing is that it lacks talent.
He's 180 degrees wrong.
But Hue Jackson isn't a bad Head Coach, either. It's not his fault he lost Coleman, Garrett, Collins, Shelton etc., and then even Leslie.
It's not his fault the quarterbacks he hoped would start ahead of Kizer fizzled out, forcing him to start a not-ready-for primetime rookie.
Rhona hears smarter people blabbering about eggzzbeeriunzed wide receivers, and maybe an old geezer journeyman hold-the-fort quarterback as an excuse to look away from their man Hue and place the blame on Brown.
Actually, Brown deserves credit for not releasing Josh Gordon, snagging Kevin Hogan off waivers, landing Kizer in the second round, drafting Njoku, bringing in two excellent veteran offensive linemen, Coley, Calhoun, and that list goes on.
We all knew it would be tough this season when it was announced that Kizer would start. Hue assures us that Kizer has "the goods", and I'm not about to question that. But he was the least "NFL-ready" of the four top quarterbacks in his draft class, including Mitch Trubisky.
Now, Deshaun Watson is lighting everybody up, and I myself wish the Browns would have drafted him. But Watson is surrounded by experienced weapons, and was a three year starter with two Championship games under his belt.
I'm not sure how much better he would have been than Kizer in the same situation, and it's too early to "rule" on that. Kizer was drafted much lower for a reason.
Rhona can't comprehend this, but if Hue Jackson had pounded the table over Watson, Sashi Brown would have made a move to lock him up. Hue was on-board with this decision, along with drafting Kizer.
There may be a rift starting to develop now, however, as Jimmy Haslam has a bunch of "football guy" consultants who...I guarantee you...are telling him what his Head Coach is doing wrong.
Lack of talent? Look at the damn ROSTER! Why do people keep saying that! The Emperor has no clothes, people -snap-snap- wake tf up!
Yeah ok we're short on wide receivers now, but loaded with tight ends and running backs. You call Njoku and Johnson playmakers, then you say Kizer has no playmakers! What the hell is up with you?
HUE JACKSON needs to fix this! I really hope he does, because he is a brain, and I like him a lot personally.
Well...not just Hue. DeShone Kizer needs to...well let's be fair--he's a raw kid, still taking baby steps, falling down going boom. Timing and accuracy. It could take awhile.
So no, don't fire anybody. Yet. And ignore Rhona LaCanfora. Sashi and Hue will work it out, probably over a Miller Lite. Rhona should write for a Soap Opera jeez...
