In this edition of C'mon Son, we want to take a look at the Cleveland Browns. What can you say about the Browns? ALOT! My father(who is from and lives in Ohio) refers to the Browns as "The mistake by the lake". Let's take a trip down memory lane. In the 70's, the Browns traded Paul Warfield to the Dolphins for a draft pick and of course he went on to win 2 Superbowl's. C'mon Son!
Art Modell, the former owner of the Browns moved the team to Baltimore in 1996. The Browns were activated again 1999 but the Baltimore Ravens(the old Browns) won the Superbowl in 2000! C'mon Son!
Fast forward to this year. After the 2011 season, the Browns had the 4th and 22nd picks in the 2012 NFL draft. There were several holes that needed to be filled (RB, QB, WR, OL, DL, CB, S, Head Coach, Waterboy, Announcer, Janitor, etc.) and the hope was that the mastermind, Holmgren would make it happen. They addressed their RB and QB positions in the 1st round but then it got quirky. I don't want to re-visit the Browns draft analysis but there was a big need at WR. The Browns drafted a kick returner at best. C'mon Son!
To add insult to injury, there were marquee players available in the free agency but the Browns weren't signing them. Randy Moss (out of football in 2011 but still better than any WR on the Browns roster) stated he wanted to play in Cleveland (yeah I know). The Browns said they are not interested in Plaxico Burress (45 receptions, 612 yards, 8 TD's in 2011) and now they are not interested in James Jones (38 receptions, 635 yards, 7 TD's in 2011). A big C'mon Son!
The Browns stated they are happy with their WR duo Greg Little (61 receptions, 709 yards, 2 TD's for 2011) and Mohamed Massaquoi (31 receptions, 384 yards, 2 TD's for 2011). I'm sorry but those TD numbers are not jumping out at me. It takes TD's to win games. C'mon Son!
