I'd agree if there was anything about the Browns that was the same between Brady Quinn's tenure and Manziel's. He won't have the same coaches, trainers, teammates, front office, ownership...At this point it's just a uniform in common

Huh! If the Browns have seriously cleaned out everyone who was responsible for last decade's poo poo-show, that's pretty intriguing.

I mean, for years the Browns has been the Bermuda Triangle of first-round hotshot college quarterbacks. I wouldn't know how to live in a world where one of them actually succeeds. :ohdear:

Even the name of the stadium is different. And parts of the stadium itself will be too.

I hope this doesn't degenerate into weed chat but I just don't get it. Why throw it all away for weed. Why is that poo poo more important and that they got to revise policy for. Just don't smoke weed while employed in the NFL. Why is that so hard.

Note I have not smoked weed.

I can't find it, but one of the articles had a blurb how, as a part of the program/probation he's on, he could be tested up to ten times a month.

Cleveland should just hire a guy to follow him around 24/7 and mean mug Gordon when he gets any ideas.

There's many redeeming qualities to marijuana that all get offset by the rule that says Don't loving Smoke Marijuana.

Eventually the league will come around to it and realize pot smoking is no big deal, but until then, Gordon is an idiot.

How does that coincide with the legal states. I'm guessing NFL policy overrules it. What if there is a medical recommendation from a physician? I would imagine the physician's recommendation overrides NFL policy at that point.

Yes, the NFL bans hundreds if not thousands of otherwise legal supplements. Also, there are plenty of doctor prescribed drugs players can't take, though players can petition the league to allow them, which mostly happens with adderall and the like.

Even in legal states companies are still allowed to fire you if you violate their drug policy. New Jersey could become fully legalized tomorrow and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if my company fires my rear end for toking.

It's potentially legal if you stay in your little box, but the NFL isn't just in a little box.

In theory if the feds move marijuana off of the "totally bad drug with no medical value" label they *might* be able to allow medical marijuana but I doubt we're going to see recreational usage until it's legalized nationwide.

Not the greatest receivers in the world, but it's something.

When he's healthy, I can't imagine it won't be Austin, but that was going to be the case even before we dumped Little.

Only question I
ever thought was hard
was do I like Kirk
or do I like Picard?
#1 in the traditional "roles" or whatever would be Austin, #1 in "who do you run your passing game through" is gonna be Cameron I would hope. Among the other Browns receivers I think it would go: Andrew Hawkins, Nate Burleson, Travis Benjamin

I anticipate them trying to be a running team this year to take pressure off of Manziel, who I also figure will start after the Bye Week unless Hoyer is amazing. They have a group of competent but unexceptional receivers aside from Cameron, but we'll see how things shake out in training camp.

Someone bought me this custom title because they think I kick ass at Photoshop. They happen to be right.
So apparently during the draft JFF texted the Browns' QB coach and said, "I wish you guys would come get me. Hurry up and draft me because I want to be there. I want to wreck this league together." Right now #wreckthisleague is trending on Twitter. Hey, this is definitely the most excitement there's been around the Browns in a long time.
