I totally agree as well. I really do think that things will change for the better in Cleveland. Haslam has to realize he can’t be so temperamental with his coaches, and actually give someone a chance to be there for a solid 3-4 year before getting rid of them. I do think that Hue will be very good for them. He was doing well in Oakland before getting canned for no good apparent reason. If Wentz continues to play this well, and Cleveland can’t find a QB close to him in 1-2 years, then they will absolutely be kicking themselves about it for the next decade.

That’s what you get when you go and win a Superbowl as a QB in a contract year: a nice big contract. He probably made the team as much as they are paying him with that run alone (and all the hype following the next year).

My thoughts exactly.

I read an interesting item demonstrating that, other than the amazing post-season run he had a few years ago, Flacco has never been anything other than fairly pedestrian. And yet he is one of the highest-paid QBs in the league.

I hope Hue is successful. The misery has gone on too long and it needs to end.

I completely agree with you, Homer. The question is, will the Browns’ front office and/or ownership have the patience to give Jackson the breathing room? They haven’t made any notable displays of patience recently….

I’ve seen the Browns – both good and bad. They are right now where the Steelers were in 1969. Noll took over, saw what he had, and knew they had to clean house. That’s exactly where the Browns are. More than half their roster is first and second year guys. They have supposedly had two good drafts in a row, although the failure to pick Wentz will haunt them. But they are building from the bottom up. Hue Jackson is doing it the right way. No quick fixes. They might not win a game all year, if injuries continue to beset them. But remember the Steelers won the first game in Noll’s rookie season and didn’t win another one the rest of the way. The key was Noll never lost his team. If Hue Jackson can hold on to his guys – and keep the injured guys invested in the learning process – they will be much, much better next year. Not like they could be any worse.

Ravens are bad this year. Guys on the Redskins radio are talking so much trash about them it is ridiculous. Chris Cooley said we (meaning the redskins) have played both Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Baltimore isnt even close to the Steelers even without Bell.

It is good that the Ravens lost. It is even better that the Bengals lost for they deserve it. The Browns… I feel sorry for their HC. I think he is a good coach but it is difficult to lead the bucket brigade when you are standing in the middle of a fire. The Browns will pay for not taking Wentz for the next 10 years.
