    Even if Kessler isn’t 100% ready he has to be the starter. To grab and sign a vet and give him a couple practices will be a disaster. Even after Minnesota traded for Bradford they gave him an extra week to prepare.

    Either way – unless we want our QBs to be Kessler and Kevin Hogan next week I think we need a vet.

    Freedom!!!

    Careful what you wish for. Looks like Kessler is gonna be at the helm Sunday.

    And I hope he’s worked on getting rid of the ball, or he’ll be next on the list. Something tells me it’s gonna be a long day.

    Lmao, ya think?

    0-16 boys. We’re going 0-16.

    This……is going to be something to behold. It’s like a drug addict/alcoholic. They say that addicts need to hit rock bottom first before they can begin to turn themselves around. Well, the browns in 2016 are about to have their waking up naked and hungover in a strangers garage 1000 miles from home with semen breath, a few broken bones, no money, no hope, and no chance for survival if they don’t fix it all right goddamn now moment.

    For all of our suck over the last 15 years, we never hit rock bottom. We though we did. We thought we sucked ourselves into the lower cesspool of hell many times but no….no no, we were wrong. We were just in the “get clean, relapse” spin cycle.

    Now……this year……this is the year we finally bottom out.

    I’ll let you all decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

    Agreed Shooter. The good news is, the front office realized we were about to hit rock bottom before we actually hit. They cut bait on the idea of rehabbing and cleansing (FUCKING LITERALLY. Bye bye Manziel) and went full speed ahead towards the bottom.

    Too old to help us rebound after we hit bottom?? Buh bye. No distractions, no salvaging this wreck (Gilbert, Mingo), we’re rocketing to the bottom and we’re gonna hope to hell we bounce.

    Agreed. I don’t think they “flat-out” said it, but for all intents and purposes, they didn’t beat around the bush and were honest and pretty mush said “It’s gonna get worse before it gets better”.

    I actually appreciate that. Pick the euphemism of your choice, “can’t polish a turd, can’t put lipstick on a pig” etc, but these guys came out and said “hey look, this is a shitshow, from top to bottom and it’s gonna be hard to fix. We’ll fix it but…..fuuuuuuuuck you guys are buried here”. I can celebrate the honesty, and tip my cap for the lack of smoke blowing.

    I’m just hoping that everyone involved both CAN, and WILL, be actually given the opportunity and time needed to unfuck everything that has been so badly, badly fucked.

    I’m a fan just like all of us. I’m as impatient as we all are. I want my Sundays to matter and be fun again. I want a team to cheer for again. This has been horrific to watch for as long as we have watched it and I want it to end, I really really do.

    If this, THIS……this suckhole, shitass awful season is what I have to endure to finally get there……I’ll do it.

    But if Haslam lights a match to it all after it’s over…..man, I just don’t know if I can endure that. This is pretty much the last vestige of blind trust that I have left in me for the team of my childhood, my city (that I no longer live in), and any semblance of passion that I have left.

    I’ll take this, this rock bottom. I’ll endure it. But if nothing comes from it……
