THE BROWNS BOARD

Eric Metcalf. Eric Turner. Why so underrated?


Recommended Posts

At 4:04 AM I will agree with you.   And how many other left out Erics  are out there  ?  I'm now going to log off......      -_-

..... seriously though both were good Eric Metcalf was fun to watch    -but-   was he better than hid dad Terry ?

 Jim Brown being the last Browns player to gain national attention is a reflection of the national disrespect for this organization. 

Ask a football fan outside Cleveland what past great offensive tackles come to mind and it wouldn't surprise me that they forget all about Joe Thomas.

Well when your chief Eric competition is another with the last name of Dickerson......................................just sayin'.😁

Yes E.D. doesn't seem to get the same following as Sweetness,  The great Jim Brown, LT, Barry,  Emmitt and the great Earl Campbell.   Every " greatest list " has their left off players.   That goes for OL players also.....Super Joe  !

Turner was better than John Lynch.  Metcalf was as good as Devin Hester.  Legends.

Eric Turner wasnt around long enough... Had he lived... No question...

Sadly that’s what I remember as well.  He was grossly misused for years.  Swing pass, wheel route on a backer or  Toss right or left should have been our offense with him.  
 

What a great punt returner.  Always made the first guy miss and he had great vision after he got past the first wave

Turner underrated I'll buy... Metcalf? No...

As far as I will go is say we never figured out hm and how to use his skill set. Light...  shifty, quick-accelerating with speed to burn. Pretty sure he'd be better used today by seeing a lot more broken fields ala his punt returns.
