That was the understatement of the year right there.

I'm tired of people dogging on him. He got 900 yard with injuries,
Yet he could have had 1,500 if he knew where to line up. Ran the correct patterns, and held onto the damn ball.

he's trying his damn best people.
Not when he doesn't know the playbook he's not. BE is not stupid, he should know the playbook inside and out, and he would if he worked at it hard enough.

It's Frye's fault wheather or not he decides to give him the ball or not.
Just who's fault is it that BE didn't know where to line up? Who's fault is it that BE ran the wrong routes? Who's fault is it that BE had hands that would make Roberto Duran proud on many occasions last year?
It's time for BE to step up and realize he is not Gods gift to the game, but that the game is Gods gift to him.
I hate to quote another poster yet again. but GM.... 
Einstein could not even fathom the mathematical improbabilities of the Browns woes.

I still think he's worth waiting on for at least one more season (without the ridiculous vitriole many have spewed). The guy can play.
When Leon quits acting like Leon,I'll stop calling him Leon. 
That's the problem. He has the talent but it's nothing more than "potential" unless he develops it and works at it. So having "potential" won't help unless he reaches that potential.
And you can't do that being a "Leon".

I think he'll play a lot better with Quinn running the offense. Last year he was frustrated with a crappy OL, crappy running game and two scrub QBs. We'll see how he does this year. If he still plays like a "Leon", I've been wrong for 2 years and I'll have to stfu

Well,what I was trying to convey is,I have no doubt about his ability. The kid has the talent. But often times I feel that "attitude" goes a long way in wheather you do or don't reach the "potential" of that talent. Now,I was young too at one time. Sure,dinasours were still around and the wheel had just been invented,but still,I was young too.  And as such,I've seen "situations people have been in" that have effected their attitude.I've also seen people mature and overcome that. And as a Browns fan,I certainly hope this is the case for Leon. Because I want to call him Braylon too. Because that would be best for our Browns.

I've never had any doubts about Braylon as a WR. I know he's a play maker. One of the best jump ball guys there are. A spectacular catch highlight reel in the making. And a guy who will lose concentration and drop some balls. This is who he is. I'm his biggest fan. I know. But this is who he is when he's healthy. Any athlete needs his help. Coming back from injury he was still all of those things above but just a watered down version (Minus the drops. He can still drop the easy ones with the best of them. And it always seems to be a crucial catch) Coming off a full season and fully healthy he'll show us why he was drafted where he was.
All that being said he is still Leon until proven otherwise. I saw Cal mention it and I've seen others complain about the name calling too. So let me respond:
Until proven otherwise he still called out his O-coordinator in public. He still had that fiasco with Frye on the sidelines. He still ran his mouth week in and week out. That's why he's Leon.
Leon is a star player. But what good is Leon if he's constantly being so selfish that he's hurting the team? He said he learned his lessonS this past season and off-season and that he's matured. I've got one of my favorite players careers on the line, my Michigan pride, and the $150 I paid to get an authentic Braylon jersey hoping he has learned his lessons. If he has he's a future top 5 WR in my opinion. At the very least a future top 10.
And if he does his job, which is playing football, and grows up I will quit calling him Leon. I'm not questioning the player on the field. I'm questioning his actions on the side of it and off of it.
I mean is that an understandable argument?

Top 10 is a big list. I'd just like him to be a future number 1. I can name 10 guys whom are really good, Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison, Anquon Boldin, Larry Fitz, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Laverneus Coles, Reggie Wayne, Javon Walker, Hines Ward.
If Braylon reaches these guys caliber, I will be very happy and won't complain. I just want him to be a true number 1 reciever. Hopefully he's working on catching the ball in gametime situations (because he can catch them standing still with a blindfold as was shown from that one commercial).
I still got high hopes for the guy. Rip on him all you want, he's a very competitive player. And i do believe during the game he gives his all. He just has to get his act together, period. Now it's his 3rd year, it's time for him to show us he's dependable. That's all i want, a dependable reciever.

Chad Johnson played like four seasons before he just blew up... one reason for that was cuz of Palmer...
