Sometimes I can handle SA Smith.

Other times his schtick is exhausting and foul.

He of course is not alone. The players know the game because SA made the game work. Be outraged and talk loud and fast. You don't need to be right. Just keep them tuned in to what you say. One of the worst media members is Skip Clueless. The cowboys fan boy cheerleader. Geez.

The narrative that the Browns and specifically KS is ruining Shedeur is perfect theater. "They want him to fail." "He was never wanted." "They never gave him first team reps."
"They never prepared him." "They took him out of the game when he could have won the game."

How absurd. Shedeur has been handled perfectly. He is right where he should be. He has a four year contract and he is starting after being drafted in the 5th round.

The results and his growth prove that.

When they traded to draft Shedeur. They wanted him because it was a value pick in a position of need. They scouted his flaws and felt he might develop.

They signed two veterans to compete to be the starter. Gabriel and Sanders would get to watch and learn. Pickett fell out because of injury. Flacco became the starter.

The season unraveled. The loses piled up. Flacco at forty was not the future. The plan became let the rookies play and find out about them. Gabriel was further advanced and started six games. He got injured and Shedeur got his chance. He ran with it and proved he deserved the opportunity to finish the season. They gave it to him and announced it quickly.

Shedeur learned from watching. "Hungry Dawgs" was a program to give rookies extra work and coaching. Shedeur had lots to work on and he did a great job taking the coaching and putting what he learned on to the field. It is so obvious.

But they can't beat this topic enough. "He has to get out of Cleveland to succeed."

Guess what SA? He Ain't A Going Nowhere.

Everything goes away with winning.

It is easy to criticize since everything has failed in the past. The media doesn't need to work! The sheep will follow every word.

Hopefully, Haslam has a pair and will let it play out.

I have not said much about Shedeur.

I feel a bit bad about the media circus that the mindless numbskulls fill the airwaves with. It is part of the problem, so much media chatter, it is fodder to fill the airtime and something to talk about it. My wife calls the Sunday shows "The View for men"

Just because someone has a take, does not make it an accurate assessment. My advise for the media is to avoid it if at all possible. They make money for being provocative and filling the airwaves with interesting banter. Interesting is the key word. Accuracy or truthfulness in the content of the banter is irrelevant. Sell the ads.

Now, what I think of Shedeur. I liked him as a QB at Colorado. That team played well and was entertaining. I thought he had the potential to be a NFL QB. I did not like all the sacks in college but that can be a result of a bad offensive line.

Lots of drama about not being picked in the first round, and being picked by the Browns in the fifth. I think that KS does not like drama QB's aka Baker. I think the plan was to sit him all year and work with him in the off season to figure out. Gabriel was thought of as a player more ready to play. Then Gabriel gets hurt.

The Baltimore game was everything that one would have anticipated. But I think credit should be given to the Browns coaching staff, as Shedeur looks like a completely different player. If the Browns think that he can be the starter going forward, they have a reasonable sample size. If the starter is someone else, so be it.


Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

Shedeur was selected in the fifth round for real reasons.

He has been developed to his credit.

The 26 draft order is still unknown.

In four games the guy the Browns may have wanted to draft could be gone.
