Browns Prediction

i just want to go on record here before the season starts and state that if the Browns are terrible this season, it is because of Romeo Crennel.

This guy is a terrible coach. he was almost fired at the end of the 06-07 season, and then was saved only by the miracle that was Derek Anderson last season. You didn't forget that yes the Browns started Charlie Frye at the beginning of last season right. If Derek Anderson doesn't come out and shock the world, Romeo Crennel doesn't have a job. seriously, how are you going to fire a guy after the best season Cleveland has seen since they were reinstated?

on paper, the Browns are one of the best teams in the league. But after a disappointing preseason i can conclude that Romeo is holding this team back. We have a QB who has proven he can go crazy, a backup who's better than some teams starters (arizona, chicago...) an offense that can throw the ball down the field and then slam it in behind the best O-line in the league. a top-flight receiver, the best tight-end, solid running back, dependable number 2 receiver. we have a reliable special teams with a good FG kicker and the best return guy in the league.

We have an okay defense, which was improved in the offseason yet has failed to show any real improvement on the field. we have good coordinators, especially Mark Chudzinski as the offensive coordinator.

so whats left? the head coach, and he's terrible, and yet he has the final say on everything that happens. if we don't make the playoffs this year we have totally under-acheived. heck, if we don't win in our first 2-3 games i'd fire Crennel right there.
