The Cleveland Browns are the worst team in the league. They will finish as the worst team in the league. Joshua Cribbs is a football player, but he's not the answer at wide receiver. Jake Delhomme is light-years past his prime. He did his best Jamarcus Russel impression he could last season (with an infinitely more talented supporting cast, mind you). Delhomme finished 2009 with 8 TDs, 18 INTs, and a 55% completion percentage in just 11 games. He's pathetic, and will somehow wind up being the highest paid NFL quarterback this season due to contract loopholes.
Delhomme sucks, and the Browns are best off keeping Joshua Cribbs in the wildcat to find any sort of success.
With Joe Thomas anchoring the offensive line, there will be some pretty good blocking up front for the run game and the occasional play-action pass. But the overall talent on offense is pretty weak, especially at the all-important quarterback position.
On the defensive side of the ball, Cleveland is merely mediocre. They have a few solid players in D'Qwell Jackson, Shaun Rogers, Eric Wright, but mediocre players everywhere else. Rookie Cornerback Joe Hayden has potential though. Still, this defense will likely get picked apart.
The Browns have a brutal division, (Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals) an awful schedule, and are and awful team.
Projection: They'll finish in last place in the NFL next year at 2-14. I'm not being harsh. They're really this bad.
Wrong team on Jake Long my friend.
ReplyDeletePretty solid analysis on the Browns. I don;t think Delhomme will be the starter all year either. I could see Seneca Wallace or Colt McCoy steping in at some point.
Overall they are not a good team and they could lose all 6 division games. Should certainly finish towards the bottom of the pack at the end of the season.
My apologies, I often confuse the two because they are quite similar: high recent 1st round left tackles that have played extremely well.
ReplyDeleteI updated the article accordingly.
