    No I'm not the Browns have never had a good QB to move on from because they try to get cute with their drafting and have had incompetent GM's. Yes doing things the way I would do then would mean you would have a couple of down years every 5-6 years but that's the price to pay for a chance to win a championship. Look at the Watson trade as a guide to what I would do every 5-6 years. You can't live scared and teams should look at history and operate accordingly. They won't do what I'm talking about for marketing reasons.

    I’m still on CJ train.
    But, to say he isn’t part of the reason is wild. If a QB needs elite line, receivers, TEs, RBs to be successful, then he isn’t elite.

    We have a top 10 receiver in the game right now. The line has graded out as average. At some point, CJ-the guy who gets all the love when going right-has to shoulder some of the blame

    Yup...if the line is better than half the other teams in the league, then CJ needs to prove himself. Caley is in over his head and CJ hasn't done what's needed. The easiest thing to change now is the OC. Get rid of him and hire someone competent and wait till CJs 5th year before even thinking of resigning him.

    The more I see Wood not starting or Noel/Higgins not as involved...then the more im blaming the coaches and gameplan.

    CJ needs to let it rip... Weapons are here on paper.. Will us to victory! I don't think defenses are losing sleep on CJ anymore .. What he's been doing lately ain't scaring nobody except fantasy owners

    I honestly think they need to focus on mid game more, and do the long rip when its called for. Theyre best offense so far this year is when they involve short passes and move the sticks.

    I dislike hearing about the Patriots, but Tom Brady excelled at it. It opens up the potential downfield plays when you're moving the line and tiring out the opposing defense.

    In Madden terms, you're right there's not enough weapons... But you can't tell me utilizing Noel more won't open things up a lil bit . They're not weapons on par with the more prolific offensive names like the Eagles have but they should be able to produce more than what the hell we've been seeing... If you're a video gamer turned analysts, then my opinion ain't for ya.

    Cause we live in a world where people passed for 10k yards in a season on Madden and think it can be done in the NFL
