Nice article from Terry Pluto. Cleveland Browns Coach Mike Pettine talks to Terry about everything from texts to trades to fans PLAYING LIKE A BROWN Pettine wants his players to "have that 'Play like a Brown' mentality. They need to be accountable, competitive and mentally tough." Which brings us to the decision to trade West. "It was difficult not seeing Terrance make progress," said Pettine. But he did see it in West's fellow running back, Isaiah Crowell? "We did," said Pettine. "Crow made tremendous progress in pass protection, in running the right routes, in catching the ball." He paused. "We learned we can trust Crow," he said. Then Pettine talked about trust in the football sense. "It's being in the huddle and looking at the guy next to you and knowing he knows where to line up," he said. "It means knowing he'll do the job to the best of his ability. When I'm in the huddle and a guy doesn't do those things, that's extra mental baggage for me to carry." Pettine didn't say it, but his actions screamed that even though West has talent (673 yards rushing as a rookie), he could not be trusted to carry out the assignments. Meanwhile, fellow 2014 rookie Crowell earned the trust. Like West, Crowell was benched during the season for some poor practice habits. But he learned from that. www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2015/09/terry_talks_with_cleveland_bro.html#incart_river

This team has no chance to win as long as Johnny is playing Bullshit. We've always got a chance. I can't imagine the scenario, but I'm sure there's one. Everyone on the other team could get the flu and they'd have to forfeit maybe? I don't know. Bottom line, we'll win some, because we're too hammered-turd bad to get the first overall pick and Cardale.

This team has no chance to win as long as Johnny is playing so how are we going to eff up getting a franchise QB this year?

Have you seen how he plays? What good is it to put a QB in there that is going to get a concussion every other game because he's a half a retard.
Play a game, sit out 2. Play a game sit out 3.
I've seen Josh play twice now and he has less of a shelf life than little ol' Johnny does.

He's didn't learn the first 12 years what makes you think he can learn in his 13th?

It's frustrating but he does play like an idiot in that regard. I mean he treated those last two yards like it was the Super Bowl. I really feel like that play and Gipson's fumble completely changed the outcome of it.

so how are we going to eff up getting a franchise QB this year? We just won't pick him. We'll take a linebacker. You'll be thrilled, until we start playing football again. There is no position I'd rather draft the last few years than QB - IF they are the right one. I wasn't keen on trading up for RGIII cause I didn't like him, let alone the cost. I didn't think Mariotta was worth the cost it was going to take, and seeing that the Titans took him, I tend to believe that the cost to get him would have been out of this world - like impossible. I've been wrong in the past on QB - though I was hoping we'd take Carr two years ago, who I think would have been a good fit here and do think is going ot have a nice career. I think he, and to a lesser extent Bridgewater were the only ones we really missed out on (since others went before we could have taken them). I'm not well versed in the QBs coming out this year, though my understanding is that there are 2-3 that look like very good prospects. If we are in position to take one, I think we have to (assuming that they are good prospects).

@adamschefter With health questions at QB this week, Browns signed former Packers QB Matt Blanchard to their practice squad
