OT: Where do you think the Browns end up record wise?

[maineman209]

He’s as close to a sure fire thing in this year’s draft. The 4-5 wins could come against garbage teams but they are still wins.

No college prospect is ever a "sure-fire thing" until they've actually played in the NFL.

I didn’t say barkley was

 

[Soliel]

5-11

 

[Kontradiction]

I'd say 6-10, 7-9 right now. I could change that prediction after the draft and FA are over. Turdrod isn't going to light up the world over there, but he's turnover averse and has some weapons to work with. He doesn't COMPLETELY suck like Kizer. The defense should also make strides.

 

[tasmlab]

How can anyone make a prediction before free agency, the draft and roster cuts?

I think the attention on the Browns is born of the same instinct as slowing down to gawk at a car crash. It's neither sensible or humane, but irresistible.

Can someone confirm the rumor that they have a coach named SammyBrownCat and that he is trying to implement my program over there? I really want to know.

Unfortunately for Cleveland fans they have a coach of a slightly different Hue and he is categorically not adhering to your program. It's no stretch to say the results so far have been near catastrophic.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

In the toilet where the Browns belong.

 

[Froob]

2-14.

 

[chasa]

0-6 start
they fire Hue
finish 7-9
the fire the entire coaching staff
hire jeff fisher
in 2019 they go 8-8 and make the playoffs as a wild card.

Incredible insight. You are quick!!!

 

[Betterthanmost]

playoffs

 

[varjao]

6-10

 

[CISGS]

I am going to eat this I am sure.

I am going 8 - 8, if they take Barkley.


QB Tyrod
HB Barkley
WR Gordon
WR Landry
WR Coleman
TE Njoku

That's a decent offense honestly. If their line is sured up (huge if), that is a better offense than Tyrod had in Buffalo. The AFC North is also down (Ravens, Bengals).

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I could see them excelling for a time, but then it's reversion to the mean.

To break the mold, you need to have 3 things.

1. Need an owner/management who knows when to get involved and when not to
2. A coach who can do the whole job. Genius on one side of the ball, hires people to shore up any weakness, can handle talented personalities, can teach others, ...
3. Franchise QB who can carry a team (or make them automatically 1-3 games better than they would be otherwise...)

Could make a case for a GM too being #4 (but could lump them in as management)

Patriots have 1, 2 & 3
New Orleans has 1, 2 & 3 (went from the Aints to Saints with Payton/Brees)

Dallas has had 2&3 plenty, but #1 keeps getting in the way

SF has 1 & 2, but didn't have #3. Thought they had #3, but got rid of #2 because #1 thought he knew better. Now, They probably have #3, and still have to see where they are on 1/2.

Browns, seems to have none of the above and not sure where they are today. Definitely making some good decisions in acquiring draft choices with a long term outlook. Have to see where it pans out.

 

[Brick27]

Will have to see how the rest of the offseason goes for the rest of the AFC and go from there. Sure as hell won’t be 0-16 next year though. 7-9 is probably their ceiling.

 

[Wheelssps]

0-17

(Bye week loss. It’s the Browns. They’ll manage it)
