Caution: Disaster Looming

Browns fans, would you expect anything less from your beloved team? The obvious answer is NO! Another pathetic performance has gotten me to think, at least they are consistent. They have consistently underperformed since their season ended last year. As much as I don't like Derek Anderson because, let's face it, he is not an NFL QB, only a one year wonder, Brady Quinn would fair much better the way the rest of the team is playing. This isn't just a few players not playing badly, it's all 53. No one is playing "good football". The coaches aren't helping, but I have said it before and I will say it again, "ROMEO CRENNEL AND HIS STAFF NEED TO GO!!!" There is no reason to settle for mediocrity which owner Randy Lerner is doing at this point. In the past, I praised him for being faithful and not cleaning house every time the team loses a game. However, he is taking it a little too far this time because it is obvious that some serious changes need to be made. Anderson should have been traded in the off-season for a 1st and 3rd round draft pick because at this point, we will be lucky to get a roll of athletic tape for him. Brady Quinn has the attitude, swagger and confidence of a starting quarterback. All traits Anderson lacks. Romeo needs to admit when he is wrong and swallow his pride. This is not a game of right and wrong, but winning and losing. Stubbornness should not be tolerated and should be met with consequences namely the loss of your job.
Al Davis is a perfect example of what stubbornness can do to a franchise since his has consistently been one of the worst in the league. He doesn't know when he has a good thing going even if it conflicts with his original plan. No one is right 100% of the time which Crennel seems to think he is as does Davis, however, I don't care about Davis and the Raiders, I care about the Browns.
What happened to the Jamal Lewis that ran for 1300 yards and 9 TD's last year? He is gone and doesn't seem to be coming back. This could be due to the lack of a passing game because Anderson is at the helm, but it seems as though Jamal lacks the motivation that coursed through his veins all of last season. He isn't running with that same nastiness and drive like last year and it shows in the stats column and on the scoreboard.
Don't even get me started on the defense that was supposed to all of a sudden wreak havoc on opposing offenses. It doesn't matter who is on the field, they are all turning in sub par performances. They are decimated by players whose skill level is not of NFL caliber. Shaun Rogers may be the only one who belongs in the NFL. Everyone else would be better suited playing in Canada or the AFL.
Hopefully Cleveland gets serious about its football team and makes some very necessary decisions this off-season because it's do or die time. Ten years marred by poor football and poor management is enough. If this trend continues, then the NFL made a big mistake by returning the Browns to Cleveland after Art Modell moved them to Baltimore.
