Let me make something clear.
I am a BIG Pittsburgh Steelers fan, which means I despise the Baltimore Ravens, and hate the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, and lately the New England Patriots. So I am admittedly not coming from an objective point of view in terms of talking Browns football.
However I DO believe in getting the facts and the facts are this: the Browns franchise is one of the most dysfunctional in all of sports.
How does one explain having the general manager Ray Farmer (who I grew up with in Kernersville, NC) allegedly sending texts to the coaching staff on the sidelines not only criticizing the plays being called, but suggesting some plays that should be called! Who the hell did he think he was, the head coach?
How else does one explain an offensive coordinator wanting out of town after ONLY ONE YEAR on the job? Kyle Shanahan got on that first train out of Cleveland when he could, didn’t he?
Their so-called QB of the future Johnny Manziel is now in rehab. While it’s too bad that he is in rehab, it wasn’t like Johnny Football was tearing it up in his two starts last season. I guess that’s what happens when the general manager, ownership and the coaching staff is not on the same page on personnel matters – specifically as it pertains to drafting a franchise QB in the first round.
The messed up part is the Browns actually played well last season. Keep in mind that they were 7-4 at one point last season.
But alas, for every step the Browns take forward, something slaps their asses four or five steps back. That alone should drive Browns fans to drink.
I guess I should lift the Browns Nation’s spirits a bit and throw them a bone.
There is some cause for excitement next season.
There is some cause for excitement.
Manziel’s entry into rehab may signal that the QB will take a “more mature, measured approach to the game of football next season,” a rather optimistic take by Football Betting Center. Whatever the case, even if Manziel only reaches Hoyer-esque levels of prodcution, that still leaves the Browns with a competitive squad.
The case of making chicken salad out of chicken poop perhaps?
