Week 16 - 2013

In six days, the Browns will give us the greatest gift of all.  They will end this nightmare season.  They will more than likely end it in the top 5 of the draft, with an extra first rounder.  They will enter the greatest season for Browns fans, the offseason.  They will hopefully draft a quarterback early, and a wide receiver, and a running back.  Because pretty much everyone they have at those positions stinks, outside of Josh Gordon.  Jason Campbell, you stink.  Brandon Weeden will be gone.  I'm rooting for Brian Hoyer, but there is no way they don't draft a quarterback.  Early.  Greg Little has to be one of the worst wide receivers in the league.  He is so terrible.  Devone Bess is dealing with "personal issues", which must be eased with reggae music and smoking blunts.  I dealt with a lot of personal issues in college.  The revolving door at running back needs to stop, although the commitment to the pass by this coaching staff, despite the awful level of quarterback play, may make that position essentially obsolete.  There will be sweeping changes, no doubt.

I don't even really want to recap the game.  I did watch it, not that closely.  I've seen this same game over and over this year.  Mediocre opponent, dropped passes, red zone inefficiency, inability to get off the field on third down, AWFUL quarterback play, etc etc etc.  But I'm happy that they lost.  Yes I am.  I don't care anymore.  This team will be awful until they get even decent play from the quarterback position.  Until then, it just doesn't matter. 

I tend to believe that this year the plan was always not to win.  I've said it before, they aren't trying to lose but they aren't trying that hard to win.  They were going to use this year to evaluate the offense while (presumably) trying to build a young aggressive defense.  There is upside on the defensive side of the ball.  The offense will look very different next season.  And it needs to.  Because it's getting painful to watch.

Assuming they lose next week, the Browns will have a top 5 pick.  They should be able to use the other picks they have to move up if needed to get a quarterback.  How does a first round of Manziel and Marquise Lee sound?  Or a move to the top of the draft for Bridgewater?  Derek Carr was underwhelming against USC, but the offense Fresno runs is absolute trash.  Blake Bortles?  Maybe.  The point is there will be a new signal caller next season and until they find a good quarterback they should draft one in the first round every year.  Because it doesn't matter in the NFL anymore unless you have one.  4-12 is likely.  I'm ready for this season to be over.  Merry Christmas.

Also, I know some people like them, but the brown pants are awful.  Orange, or white, please.  Look like crap, play like crap.
