How Hue Jackson still has a job as a head coach in the NFL is mind boggling....

It is amazing really. Browns haven't a bad roster at all....really shouldn't have only 2 wins out of Hue's 35 games in charge. Decent RB coach but a joke of a head coach. Thst winless streak was the second worst since the AFL/NFL merger. Astonishing.

Weren't they incredibly unlucky in multiple games last year?

They were. Having said that, Jackson appears to be a bit of a bluffer. He's all sound bites. Todd Haley will be the next HC in Cleveland I bet.

Also, that might be the end of Tyrod as a starter. He was poor. That underthrow to Calloway was criminal, and he tried to blame the receiver for it.

Looks like a season ending injury for Jimmy G

Enjoy it while you can because Trubisky is going to cost that team badly.

he has been terrible so far this season - I'd imagine his stats are about 50% completion - the amount of overthrown and underthrown passes is shocking at that level - commentators love it

Missed a lot of long throws last night. Was 22 of 35 last night (68.6%). For this season he is 72 for 104 (69.2%). He's not Arron Rodgers or Tom Brady but with a superb defence you don't need to be either of those guys to do well. Bortles, Foles, Keenum, Goff testament to that. He's young and he'll improve. Hopefully enough.

Syferus · September 24, 2018, 03:48:07 PM

Goff, Good Foles and Keenum are far better than Trubisky. Of that list, only really Bortles is comparable in his dedication to mediocrity.

Minder · September 24, 2018, 05:42:05 PM

You would I think Trubisky has a lot more upside that Keenum, Goff shaping up to be very good & he seems to be in a good situation with the weapons and HC he has. I wouldn't be writing Trubisky off just yet.
