Cleveland Browns 2024 Edition

The Browns are in a league of their own when it comes to incompetent management but the Jets are getting closer every year. Could argue that over the last 10 years they've been worse. Of course, our guy Jimmy won't let that title go away easily. Without the Watson trade, the Jets would be the clear favorite in mismanagement. Over the last 10 years they have been terrible, at least we got to see some bright spots.

Things could get worse for the Jets:

Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, scheduled to interview Tuesday for the team's head coaching vacancy, is convinced he will land the job.
If it happens, he says he will put an end to the Aaron Rodgers "country club."

Ryan, appearing Monday morning on ESPN New York radio, ripped the future Hall of Famer for skipping the team's mandatory minicamp last June to take a vacation to Egypt. He also criticized the organization's "abysmal" leadership for condoning it. "Clearly, when you have a guy that doesn't show up for mandatory minicamp -- and, by the way, he's your quarterback, coming off an injury -- I think that's an absolutely ridiculous message you send to the team," Ryan said during a spot on the "DiPietro & Rothenberg Show." "If he comes back, things would be different. If he's back, it ain't gonna be the country club, show up whenever the hell you want to show up. That ain't gonna happen. I'll just leave it at that," Ryan said.

Is Jimmy Watkins on the right track or just a fool?

Why Andrew Berry’s return is the best possible news for Browns fans who want to win in 2025 — Jimmy Watkins

I don't know why you would think Cleveland can compete next year. But I know Berry is incentivized to prove that belief correct.

This year showed that he can pick bad players, field a terrible roster and still keep his job. For some reason Haslam seems to love him.

The only good news is the Watson fiasco continues and Jimmy makes a rash decision to fire him before any more damage can be done. Looks like we still have to deal with another one of his infamous draft classes though

I think "Coach Prime" would nix that, but it is definitely something he would do after getting advice from Depo about the analytics of Shedeur. More likely they trade with Giants or Raiders if Ward is taken #1. BTW, Shadeur has never been coached by anyone other than his dad.

Sanders and Hunter are not going to the NFL draft. Deion thinks they are better served by celebrating on campus at the University of Colorado. It's all about publicity for Deion. I suspect we'll next hear they aren't going to the combine. They'll end up with a pro day that essentially consists of the two of them playing catch.

Neither should participate at the NFL combine. Hunter will be the 1st or 2nd non-qb off the board regardless. Sanders could drop to the Raiders at 6th if he says he will only play for _____ team(s).

The best thing for Cleveland is if the NYG & Raiders both want Sanders (and he’s willing to play for each) and they get into a bidding war over Cleveland #2 pick to draft him. Or, say Sanders states he will only play for the Raiders and the NYG are not interested him, the browns #2 pick does not become coveted by others.

Joe Thomas didn’t go to the draft, either. Prime might want publicity for his program, but Hunter and Prime’s sons seem like very solid young men. Not sure if the sons will excel in the NFL, but I’m positive they will work hard. Hunter will be a great player.
 
Some so-called analysts & scouts have put grades on him, ranging from the top 5 to the 4th round. Well, Tennessee and Cleveland ain’t falling for that. It’s 1 or 2 for Sheduer Sanders. Here’s the twist—Shedeur’s skipping the NFL Draft entirely. Yeah, no Wisconsin, no suits, none of that. He’s staying in Boulder to celebrate with his people. That’s a boss move! Most dudes chase the spotlight, but Shedeur? He’s the spotlight in this draft.

So here we are. The Titans and Browns are about to throw down for Shedeur Sanders, and both squads know he’s their ticket to relevancy. Cleveland’s tryna escape years of clownery, while Tennessee just wants a QB who won’t fold under pressure. Either way, Shedeur’s about to make one of these teams very, very happy.

Hunter seems like a great kid. I haven't seen or heard enough about the Shadeur character-wise to make that call other than seeing him push a ref during a skirmish in the Kansas game. The other Sanders kid has the issue from his high school assault. My point was that Deion seems to make things a little too much about himself.
 
The Browns haven't had a first rounder in years and I am still lamenting this draft. I just have zero confidence in this team and this years draft class seems to be loaded with duds. Why didn't we take Josh Allen and Saquon?!?!?!?!
 
Wouldn't touch the Sanders kid, not sure he's really THAT good. But the Hunter kid intrigues me. Very talented. But if you're the Browns, is he a DB, is a WR, or is he both?

Your assuming Allen would have not been a bust playing for the browns. You had Baker who threw for 4500 yds this season 3rd most in NFL with 41 TD's (2nd most in NFL). Chubb was plenty good till his injury.
 
Browns hire new o-line coach. Hope he's better than the last one:

Cleveland announced their decision on Wednesday, naming Mike Bloomgren as the team’s newest assistant.

Bloomgreen joined the Browns after serving as the head coach of the Rice Owls for the past seven years.

Great F kn hire!
 
Blomgren apparently worked in the past with Callahan. Hopefully, he picked something up of value. Between that and returning to the old Stefanski zone blocking scheme maybe the O-line can return to respectability.

I’m starting to think that whoever hired Dorsey as OC and the O Line coach blew a whole season of offensive potential
