It's not hard to understand why anyone would think the Browns may be better than the Colts.

It is only an opinion but him having that opinion does not make him stupid. It may just mean he is wrong.

To be honest the Browns could very well end up with a better record than the Colts. With that said you think I am stupid for thinking that?

I thought the Browns had a chance at winning 7-8 games this season.   They were not as bad as their record.   Their defense is young and talented.   I think Myles Garrett has a strong year.   I thought they had a very good WR group with Gordon, Landry, Callaway and Coleman.   A very good RB trio in Johnson, Hyde and Chubb.   With Tyrod Taylor managing the offense, I thought they were much improved.    

and then they showed their Browns colors again......

Gordon is a no show at camp.    Callaway got busted without a license, with guns and with drugs.  For some reason they trade Coleman for a 2020 7th round pick.

A friend of mine ask me the other day to list at least 10 teams that the Colts are better than, I responded with:

Browns, Bengals, Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Giants, Redskins, Bears, Bucs, and Cards.

 

-It's also a real possibility that we will be better than the Texans, Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Lions, and 49ers.

 

-I just reeled off 18 teams realistically that we could be better than with Luck back and it wouldn't shock me at all.

week one home game against the Bengals will show if we really belong at the bottom or not

I agree. I have been putting my neck on the line with my optimism in this thread out in the open, so if the Bengals beat us that will make my Posts look bad. We should win that game and I expect a win at Washington in Week 2 as well. Actually the first 2 games will show me alot.

Yes. Cleveland's HC is Hue Jackson. I'm not making this up, he has a record of 1-31 the last two years. You can look this up. Cleveland has kept a known horrible coach. Worse than Pagano by far. If Cleveland wins more games than the Colts, I will leave message boards forever

Be careful of what you say you will do.

IMO the only thing holding them down is the coaches.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Browns will be better with their additions and Garrett will be improved as well but I can't see them winning more than 5 games. If they win 5 games that is a huge improvement. I can't see us any worse than 8-8 if Luck plays all 16. Some people apparently forget how Great Andrew Luck can be with their ridiculous predictions.

I saw Hard Knocks. Hue Jackson is a disaster. He coddles a few crappy players, insisting they don't practice as a "preventative measure". Todd Haley or Gregg Williams should be coaching that team. These guys look like Vince Lombardi by comparison. Seriously, anybody thinking Cleveland will win more games than the Colts is a clown.

Landry is a good player and all, but when did he become Jerry Rice? Sick of all the unwarranted media hype for this guy. Landry not even top ten WR. He is not good enough to make your offense good all of a sudden. Jarvis couldn't hold Hilton's jock strap

I watched Hard Knocks....well to be honest I could only stomach about 5 minutes of it.   Can you imagine having to endure 23 consecutive seasons like last year (or 2011)?

    • I knew I had a favorite last year, but I thought I would be good with whoever the Colts picked... and this was until the odds for the Colts picking Levis hit -4000 or something of the sort about half an hour before the draft and my heart completely dropped. In a way I'm happy the odds-makers completely missed on this one... it showed me how I really felt about those players and made me even more appreciative for us drafting Richardson an hour later.    So... you would be good with any of them... but who do you REALLY want?    On your question... if I had to guess, most Colts fans haven't watched this QB draft extensively. I know I haven't. So his statistical profile doesn't scream 1st rounder so... possibly why not many people really like him. 
    • My sleepers: (meaning, the kind of players coaches would like to have, more than what consensus big board gives credit to them. Some of them might need couple of years to attain their high potential, if drafted into suitable coaching environment, so a lot depends on that. Some of them have injury concerns too).   Most of them are high IQ players or high-effort, high-motor players - two traits I look for from the Drafted players, list is long but I like these guys.. gonna be interesting to see where they land and how it works out for them in long run.    Payton Wilson, LB, NC State Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale Maason Smith, IDL, LSU Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College Max Melton, CB, Rutgers Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon Khyree Jackson, CB Oregon Dylan McMahon, C, NC State (good fit for Browns)  Tykee Smith, SAF, Georgia Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame Michael Barrett, LB Michigan Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky Beaux Limmer, IOL, Arkansas   Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami McKinnley Jackson, IDL, Texas A&M Kalen King, CB, Penn State Justin Eboigbe, IDL, Alabama    Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona Beau Brade, SAF, Maryland Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian (I'm hoping for day 3 Vikings pickup, as Flores could work wonders with him)  Jaheim Bell, TE, Florida State Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Washington State  Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland Myles Cole, EDGE, Texas Tech Kristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa Javontae Jean-Baptiste, DL, Notre Dame Jordan Magee, LB, Temple Myles Harden, CB, South Dakota Jalen Green, EDGE, James Madison (UDFA Target prospect)  Trey Taylor, S, Air Force (UDFA prospect) Eyabi Okie-Anoma, EDGE, Charlotte Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto  Sundiata Anderson, EDGE, Grambling State  Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State (Special Teams, Returner)  Emani Bailey, RB, TCU   As for Vikings, I don't wanna rush to draft QB if the team isn't confident in the guys they could move up in draft range, and I'd like to just draft impact players that build the roster at this point.   Build the team, draft a franchise QB at right time, don't rush and ruin years trying to make someone work out in the NFL. 
    • If you are relying upon history, does accuracy matter?  I think the reason Smith ended up at RT is because the coaches tried him there out of necessity and he played well, and stayed there due to the coaches wishes.  I don't think that FO guys had much to say about it, because Smith was in fact drafted to be a G, not the RT.  Ballard's own words after day 2 of that draft was that they drafted Smith a bit higher than they had him ranked, because he was the "last remaining starting caliber G on the board".   So it does fit that Smith was not drafted by Ballard or the FO to be a RT...in part because of the measurables and arm length.   Also directing this response to @Matthew Gilbert
    • Same. And that's because over time that level of depth eventually decays. 
    • I don't think players like Davis (and especially Bryan, who I don't think will make the final 53) should impact our draft strategy at all. Not even a little bit. If we like Byron Murphy, figure out what to do with those other guys later. The other versatile guys you mention don't scratch the itch the way Murphy would be expected to -- he should be looked at as a disruptive 3T who plays there every down, not a matchup guy or passing downs guy.    If anything, maybe it's the other way around. The Colts already had a feel for the DTs in draft class and knew they wouldn't get what they want in the draft, so they addressed the position in free agency. And after this weekend, that might help people better understand the strategy at DB and WR...    The bolded really gets at the heart of it. I like Murphy, but I'm not offering him as a great player that you just have to take a chance on. But when it comes to draft strategy, I think taking the best players is the way to go. I'm directly opposed to needs-based drafting, and to passing on a really good prospect because you have backup level veterans already on the roster.
