2017 Season The Good, Bad and Ugly

Found it!

Ouch.

I don't buy that that's just Hue "being a company man" when he has shown no restraint in slamming the previous front office and leaking daily to his media friends.

 

Until you drop the laughable takes and weird bias against Josh Gordon, it's going to be even tougher to take you seriously, friend.

 

On the contrary, I think Hue is the ULTIMATE company man...hence the "he's the best QB I've been around" comments, etc...He is always the first to prop up players, coaches, front office...until he is told that someone in that front office will be leaving the nest, THEN the criticism comes out to show the public "why" he isn't sticking around. He is the ultimate mouth of the franchise. He says what ever is relevant at the time. I guarantee as soon as Dorsey signs a veteran QB, he will be all about THAT QB and what a wonderful thing it will be to have a veteran mind and presence in the locker room and how he will help the young guys grasp everything the need to know...Even though several months ago he stated coaches coach, players play...Times change and so does the verbal address of Hue Jackson.

 

I will say it again...your living off one yr

 

Come on Stopper, he has been out of the league for 3 years and the moment he stepped on the field it was obvious to anyone that knows football, he was one of the best players on the field. He is special, his head isn't straight, but when it comes to natural ability and knowing what to do with it..this kid is one of the best. Attitude and players around him are the only thing keeping him from having a hall of fame career.

 

Good


Bad

 

Ugly

Ricardo Louis is the leading wide receiver for the team with 322 yards - on pace for 368 on the season.

Josh Gordon has 201 receiving yards in three games - on pace to finish with 335 on the season (would be 1,072 for a full 16 games).

The lowest total receiving yards by a receiver in Browns' history was Pete Brewster in 1956. That season, in *12* games, Brewster totaled 417 receiving yards. Given the formations run then, he was technically a tight end.

 

Ugly

 

Sucks that he's hurt through the final two games of the season. Even with that, he may still end up being the NFL's leading receiver. Crazy.

 

Along with 0-16, can we leave the 1999 St. Louis Rams' offense in 2017, too?

 

This theory in the passing game would actually work if you were a run oriented team as the down field routes would open up.

 

Good:

The 2017 season is over.

Bad:

With a 10-22 record after 2 seasons Mike Pettine was fired.

With a 1-31 record after 2 seasons Hue Jackson is slated to be the HC in 2018.

The Ugly:

In 5-years of ownership Jim Bob’s Browns have held a top 5 selection 4 times just barely drafting outside of the top 10 once at #12. During this time the Browns have selected 10 players in the first round. With those selections Jim Bob has failed to find a QB, missing on at least 5 potential franchise QB’s.

• They passed on Bridgewater, Carr and Garappollo for Johnny train wreck, NO FREE PASS THERE!
• Traded out of #2 – Wentz (Eagles made the playoffs)
• Traded out of #12 – Watson (Texans season fell of the rails after his injury)

The only reason I can think of why Hue is gone is that Sashi Traded out of these two selections where the Browns could have selected a potential “Francshise QB”​

The HC has a habit of throwing everyone under the bus rather than admit to his own failings.

For the second year in a row the Browns hold the #1 pick and a top 2 pick in the last three drafts.

Fearing that Hue will have too much say so regarding which(not if) QB is selected at #1.



Lord Grant me the serenity to accept the things about our Browns we cannot change. Courage to stand by our teams side, and a sufficient supply of alcohol to get us through these dark days.

 

They've thrown all the stats out there, but it bears repeating.

Jimmy's 20-76 (0.208) as an NFL owner.

For me personally, the Browns were 24-40 (0.375) during my high school years. They were 24-40 (0.375) during my college years. They're 118-250 (0.322) since I really started watching the game. They're 319-639 (0.333) in my lifetime.

I really picked up the game in 1992, so I've seen three winning seasons (1994, 2002, and 2007) out of 23 in my lifetime - none as an adult. And in 16 of those 23 (70%), it's been double-digit loss seasons.
