utzie Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yep just keep it to other Browns talk and don't mention he-who-must-not-be-named. Haslam said Gordon wasn't going anywhere a couple days back: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000350052/article/haslam-gordon-to-be-with-browns-for-a-long-time I don't know how gutsy, it's been overdue now. Although it'd be nice to say here's another reason they know more about Gordon's pending suspension than we do. You would have to think it's looking less promising after they sign two veteran WR in less than 24 hours. Even with dropping Little, they have added 4 veteran WR this offseason. I know it was absolutely warranted to overhaul the receiving corps, but it seems like they are signing guys with the thought that Gordon will be gone all season at this point.

TopDawg31 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 You had to see this one coming after the Browns signed 4 WR this offseason, not including any UDFA. So what does that leave the current WR depth chart looking like? Josh Gordon (pending suspension) Miles Austin Nate Burleson Andrew Hawkins Earl Bennett Travis Benjamin I can honestly say that I'm 100x happier with that potential WR corps than last year's. Didn't we stash away a WR we picked off of Green Bays practice squad last year but he had a bum knee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Dropped his pink slip on the way out. Perfection... Gutsy move. I'm not sure I would have had the guts to pull the trigger given our WR situation. It feels like a HC who had to game plan against Little, and never sweated it, got with a GM that was signing better WR talent and decided, "He played hard for the team for 3 years. Let's do the guy a favor and release him now." It does maximize his chances of catching on with another team. I wish him well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam222 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Finally all the ifs, could have beens, convert him to a rbfbsafteycorner comment and threads can die along with his career. He sucked the whole time he was here. What really made me dislike him is that as bad as he sucked on the 1 of a 100 plays where he caught a ball he celebrated like he was the greates ever.

Canton Mike Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I posted this elsewhere & will post it here... I think these guys have set a bar & performance beneath that bar will NOT be acceptable. A WR who neither runs good patterns nor consistently catches the ball would definitely be beneath that bar. As was the case with cutting Campbell & Weeden, they are sure they can better the position elsewhere. I applaud doing business far differently than it was done previously (when we weren't worth a shit!). The only way we could reverse the Browns' fortunes was by implementing sweeping & dramatic change & by God, they're doing it. These guys are thinking out of the box & there's not a Team in the NFL that needed that more than our Browns. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well this is an 'interesting' take: http://www.catscratchreader.com/2014/5/18/5729892/what-could-greg-little-bring-to-the-panthers The plug was pulled three years and a cadre of terrible quarterbacks later, though that shouldn't be confused with a lack of ability. Little's fundemental flaw wasn't in his ability, but rather misuse. Instead of filling the role of a flanker receiver or short option he was immediately expected to be an NFL deep threat. This isn't where he wins. At UNC he thrived at catching the ball in small spaces and working after the catch, using his powerful frame to fight for extra yards against smaller defensive backs.

Flyin J Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 except the passes he dropped were the short, easy ones. I seriously think I only saw him break one freakin tackle in the years he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Mike Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 It'll sure give ol' Matt a change of pace. Now he can throw 1/2 his pick 6s directly to the opposition & bounce the other 1/2 off Little's hands! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah, Little was quoted as saying he has marked his calendar for the date they play the Browns. Big deal, Little.

PoeticG Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ayo chill on the Little jokes. I had high hopes for him this year. He's very athletic and plays with a lot of passion. Yeah, he has questionable hands but can snag the hard ones. He just need a consistent QB, some guys(like Gordon) can catch anything, but Gordon did drop a few(even a game winner in Dallas?), but some guys have to get used to where the ball is going to be and how hard and with what kind of spin and velocity on it. Trajectory and placement are also key.... so many QBs. The Raiders got themselves a playmaker if they can make him consistent and work on his route tree. Derek Carr will give Little a great opportunity to be successful. Good luck Little although I hope you get the flu before you play us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Eater Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 It's interesting that you always mourn the washed up, or overrated, or just plain shitty players that get kicked off of the team. Did you even care that TJ Ward left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
