So the Browns screw up the pursuit of Garoppolo, then, depending on who you believe, either sent their documentation to the Bengals instead of the league office or didn't send it in at all. In the meantime, the man they drafted six months ago to be the franchise QB has now been more or less neutered, given the juggling on and off the bench and now the failed pursuit of two other QBs at the trade deadline. Good thing they spent a second-round pick on a QB they saw greatness in, right? For the record, JuJu Smith-Schuster was drafted ten slots after they got their "franchise QB" who was basically given up on in eight games.

If anyone in the Browns' FO has a job in the morning, ownership has failed. Hue Jackson was a solid HC with the Raiders who got screwed by the team's new GM wanting his own guy (how'd that work out for them?), he's an excellent OC, and I refuse to believe that the dysfunction there has his name all over it. Hell, I was sure when he took the Browns job that he'd become another casualty.

On the plus side, we're going to have one hell of an assistant head coach/QBs next year.
