Sacrifice feels good when wins are result

BEREA: Tight end Steve Heiden need only step on the scale to measure what he's sacrificed for the 2007 Browns.

[Realist]

Yawn - yet another story analyzing the clowns. It's funny to read the loser fans talk about "If only they had done this", or "the coach had done that";
or some other lame bs. Face it
Cleveland = Losers; clowns = losers; fans = losers.

cleveland teams will never win any of their final championship games. THEIR FROM CLEVELAND.

[Love your Brownies]

Heiden and Shaffer set excellent examples for everyone:
Do you damn job, or leave.
(Disregard the foolishness above me.)

Was looking at the pix of Wright comforting Anderson

What a sick loser expression.

Can't you just imagine what Anderson was thinking

"There goes my career".

Of course, all the BQ fans are thinking; wait till next year.(Like cleveland hasn't had a LONG list of savior QB come into town.)

You can't find a bridge in Kent, or have a can of Drano? Who exactly is on this "long list of saviors". I would say Kosar, and Couch but after that who was a savior, Sipe was already here and going back further I would say Phipps possibly (thank OSU for ruining him in college). The Browns are improving and regardless of playoffs this has been a MAJOR step forward, next season who knows. I would assume your advocating a trade of Anderson and I would agree, his value will never be higher and I suspect he is more the QB we have seen the back half of the season than the one in the first half.

[OMG]

Browns need Tennessee to lose or they don't make the playoffs. They choked Sunday against the Bungals.

GO TITANS !!!!

then GO STEELERS - get that 3 seed and Super Bowl win !!!

[OMG]

Trade Anderson and he becomes the Super Bowl MVP with his new team. Browns - you have a problem.

Alright genuis. You're Phil. How do you "fix the problem"?

[Realist]

Let me be the first to say what all the loser clowns fans will be saying next Sunday

"Wait till next year".

[Not Surprised]

GO BROWNS!!! What an awesome season. I don't have to wait until next year. we got joe thomas and steinbach. we got two up and coming quarterbacks. hopefully we'll have JL or better in the backfield. We have pro-bowlers and future pro-bowlers. And we have the whole off-season to work on the defense. I'm excited!! the BROWNS are awesome and pittsburg will always suck!!

[a voice]

I knew Romeo wouldn't make the grade on the important games!

Lets look at history; Sipe - signed with USFL - injury ended career; Kosar - waived - did very little after; Couch - waived - not even been back in the league. I would say the chances of Anderson being Super Bowl MVP are minimal, however, he does have value and that value is at a peek now for several reasons; many teams don't have a QB, many teams (like Browns) will be enamored with Anderson's arm, and drafting a QB is iffy (as is letting Quinn takeover). The Browns do have offensive weapons that will help overshadow a lesser QB and additional draft picks to shore up the swiss cheese defense will make the team better. Cleveland is not that far away from being a legitimate contender and I would say a lot closer than your beloved pittspuke. Cleveland has young talent that will continue to develope and their drafting has been very good of late so adding picks leads me to think Cleveland is on the upward swing.
OMG - I hope you had a nice holiday and brought as much joy and cheer to your family as you do to this board - you are great entertainment!

WOW somebody actully responding to the article. thaere is a big difference this year and the browns play as a team win or lose they do it as a team no finger pointing or chest pounding no gaurating wins so going out and playing. browns have done a great job this year an i for one am glad to be a fan. a fan that has seen them win titles and will very soon see it again and yes i still BELIVE

[Big Mike]

Hmmmmm....Sacrafice gaining weight to keep playing time for example is fine if you have playing time....
I will guarantee you The guys who are not playing or not getting much playing itme and should be are not happy...
Is QUINN happy...I am sure he is happy the Browns are winning but he is not happy he is sitting on the bench... It costs him money since his contract is heavely based on performance goals. Not to mention that any player worth having wants to
contribute by playing.
THOMPSON is tired of sitting...He is good and wants to play...His contract is going to expire soon and he will be gone.
CRIBBS...Has been wasted Hardly playing at all until this year and even now when we need a Wide receiver with speed...RAC says he is too valuable as a Kick returner to risk at another position.
McDONALD..Tremendous but inexperienced How does he gain experience Sitting on the bench...
HARRISON...Averaging 7.33 yards per carry and has looked sensational in every game he has been give a chance to get some carries...Not to mention he would be a great asset for LEWIS because he can loosening up the defense because he has the speed to run the corners. I guarantee you he will be gone when his contract expires did you know he has less carries this year then he did last year.
Doesn't anyone in the BROWNS orginization Look to the future and build for the future as well as the present....
Who is the Backup for Anderson...Quinn who has never had a play in the NFL.......Who is the Backup for Lewis...Wright who runs too upright and doesn't have the speed to run the corners?

1) We should have been spotting Quinn into games for a series every other game or so ....We would then know better if we can afford to lose Anderson...

2)If we had gotten Brady experience and found him as good as many of us think he is then Losing ANDERSON and gaining a #1 and #3 draft pick would go a long way toward helping us build a DEFENSE...It is sad but true you will not find Pass rushers available as free agents they must be found in the draft.

3) Who is the Back up featured back for Lewis...I can tell you Wright is not quite fast enough to run the corners and runs too upright to run the middle...He is a fine backup but not a featured back...Harrison could be he is averaging 7.33 yards per carry has big speed, bigger Acceleration and is as quick as lightening...ALL THAT ASIDE...It is apparent the coaches (RAC) don't like him so he needs to be traded or cut and we need to pick up a back that can actually be a starting BACK...Lewis has gone down just about every year because of how had he runs and we need a replacement for him....

It is a crime that our team durning this breakthrough year hasn't tought a little more about our future....Anderson Goes...Lewis get injured...We are back to square one...on offense with no draft picks to get the quality Pass Rushers we need on Defense or the Running back we will need on offense...NO RUNNING GAME = NO PASSING GAME....AND no matter how good the Offense it is worthless with the #32ond ranked Defense.

[STEELCURTAIN74]

You guys all sound like your in love with Quinn. He will become Tim Couch pt 2.

[JDDawg]

Alright guys, I for one am happy about the season we have had. I think any Browns Fan in their right mind would of taken 10-6 at the beginning of the season. If we make the playoffs great and if we don't than as Romeo says "It is what it is". We had a grat year and we have the potential to have many more. I get so sick of the haters who have nothing better to do than read an article about the Browns and than take the time to type their derrogatory uneducated opinions about a winning football team. I mean how empty of a life you must lead to concern your self with a team you apparently know nothing about. So why don't you do everyone a favor and go back to reading your Pittsburgh dribble and and allow us to celebrate "Our" season and the future of "OUR" team without having to read your ignorance. If the Football Gods are smiling on us we will knock you out of the playoffs in the first round. GO BROWNS!!!!!

[LA Browns Fan]

JDDAWG is right, stop all your pi$$ing n moaning. I live in LA and visit Cleveland 3 or 4 times a year and get so damn annoyed with the depressing attitude of Cleveland fans. They r so friggin negative, no wonder there always is a let down. They cant appreciate the good and dwell on the bad. We should be excited about this year and next year. Tribe, Cavs and Browns have been bringing in good times to sports here so please stop the whining or stop watching.

[Browns are still maturing]

Think about it, Browns lost 4 of their games this year that they will win next year. With a year under their belt, better chemistry and now some prime time games they will be a really good team. Most analysts say they were the most exciting team cuz all there games go the wire. They r fun and will grow closer as a team because most of the team's ego is gone. 13-3 next year and playoffs

[BTW its Cleveland OH]

not Cordova, TN
what's up with that
