    Same here. I didn't think that Luck had as great a season as so many people said. I look for him to have a serious sophomore slump.

    Ok now that's crazy. Luck had an amazing year. How many come from behind victories did he have? 7?

    They may not have a better record but I still predict luck to have another great year, more than likely better than last year.

    I see Luck making a strong push to be in the very top tier of NFL QB's.

    Lucks season weas pretty damn amazing. Lol at thavoice.

    As for "expectations", I dont think anyone should be called crazy for expecting a huge jump. As has been said, its the NFL.

    I do think its crazy to want a 4-12 record and not 8-8 because, if your both out of the playoffs, might as well get a better draft pick.

    Luck will have a much better statistical season but the Colts will have a worse record. Lucks numbers on the surface weren't anything special last year but he had a really good season when you look at it in depth.

    Just wanted to address that, back to Browns talk.

    We cut Wade today, which was a bit surprising considering our lack of depth at CB.

    This is a Browns thread. If you want to discuss laley's 6 to midnight for Andrew Luck, make your own thread. Thanks.

    That was because they were playing to go 2-14 or 4-12. Might as well get Luck! :D

    If you are going to be in contention for the #1 pick, tanking is different. If your worst case scenario is the 5th pick...Id rather go 8-8.

    I know you were just giving me shit, but whatever lol

    I agree with this. I feel like Indy should take a step (or 2) back this year, but Luck keeps me from fully buying into that idea.

    Groves is the guy in the brown t shirt, and robertson is the guy giving the peace sign in the jordans.

    No, I did not.

    Can you tell me the post number where you think I said such a thing?

    I have said at best the season will be a "tweener" season.... I have said nothing more than that. I don't know why you associate 8-8 with me at all.

    8-8 will obviously be a more enjoyable season..the end results are the same yet we'll have a worse draft position

    8-8 is a tweener season. I even referenced 8-8, then BR said that it is a tweener season. Then you said that is at best what this year is looking like.

    Even if he considers 7 wins a tweener season, that means he was saying the browns were at best worth 7 wins...

    Just stop con, you are not going to con_alma'd this thread. You were just pwned with your own words and logic.

    And Then There Was One
    By Don Delco
    OBR Browns Reporter
    Posted Aug 29, 2013



    On Wednesday, Rob Chudzinski confirmed that most of the starters won’t play. That doesn’t mean there won’t be other key battles to watch.

    In the span of five days, the 2013 Cleveland Browns will have gone from around 90 players to the regular-season maximum 53.
    And so this brings us to our final installment of this summer’s hottest Internet read - The Owen Marecic Watch.
    (We’ll get to Thursday’s game in a sec.)
    At around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27, Browns fullback Owen Marecic was released by the Browns. This is not an indictment on the type of person off-the-field Marecic is. He might be a great guy. But it is a welcomed addition-by-subtraction for the Browns on the field.
    Marecic’s tenure in Cleveland began behind the 8-ball. He was drafted to replace Lawrence Vickers. The two couldn’t have been more different. Whereas Vickers wrecked defenders and created wide-open holes for running backs, Marecic looked a rag doll getting tossed around by much stronger men. On the rare occurrence he made contact with a linebacker, No. 48 could be found on the ground soon thereafter.
    Here’s what Mel Kiper said about Marecic after the 2011 draft, in which he gave the Browns a B-plus.
    "Marecic, we know about him. He's a throwback fullback. He played linebacker. (He's) tough, good blocker, short-yardage runner, good receiver out of the backfield. (He has) just a great attitude, great approach. With Marecic and (running back Peyton) Hillis, that's a rough, tough group there."
    OK, then, Mel. At least the hair still looks good.
    Anyway, Marecic won’t be on the field Thursday night as the Browns conclude the preseason. What about the team’s starters? Not many of them, either.
    On Wednesday, Rob Chudzinski confirmed that most of the starters won’t play.
    That doesn’t mean there won’t be other key battles to watch.
    They are:
    RIGHT GUARD - Oniel Cousins vs. Garrett Gilkey. Ever since the trade for John Moffit somehow landed him in Denver, the Browns are still trying to build depth at right guard behind the injured Shawn Lauvao and Jason Pinkston. Sadly, Gilkey’s flowing golden locks is the only highlight of his battle with Cousins.
    RIGHT CORNERBACK - Who wants to play opposite Joe Haden? Right now, it’s between Chris Owen and Buster Skrine and neither option keeps opposing offensive coordinators up at night. In fact, their play calls will be quite easy, “Hey Mr. Quarterback, just throw the ball wherever Joe Haden isn’t. On two.”
    COOPER vs. HIMSELF - With the release of Jordan Norwood, the chances Brandon Weeden’s college buddy, Josh Cooper, making the team slightly increases. With Josh Gordon out the first two games, the wide receiving duties fall to Greg Little, Davone Bess, Travis Benjamin and a fresh-off-an-ACL-tear-last-year-David Nelson. It’s still WAAAY better than the Massaquoi-Robiskie-Stuckey trio of suck. Can Cooper join the mix? He better hang onto the ball if he isn’t apart of the 22 players packing their belongings on Aug. 31.

    Jeff Darlington: Cleveland Browns. Might the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens both miss the playoffs in the same year? It's a long shot. But every season has its special stories, and the Browns have a chance to be one of them.
