A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. – Winston Churchill
For better or worse, we’re all optimists tonight.
This can’t be the end. Not this way. Not against this team.
It won’t be easy. It may not be fun to watch. But, if the Cavs can pull this out tonight, all the pressure shifts to Boston.
A win tonight. That’s all we as fans want.
Is that really too much to ask?
All Together.
It’s all starting to come together for the Browns during this weekend’s draft.
When was the last time we could say that?
Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert resisted the voices and did not trade up for Sam Bradford, despite the insanity of a rumor floated out by ESPN’s Michael Smith that the Browns were offering to give up most of their picks in this year’s draft and picks next year to St. Louis to move up.
It’s so comforting to finally have credible, clear-thinking people in charge of the Browns.
And when Eric Berry went off the board the Browns stuck to their plan to fix the defensive secondary and selected Joe Haden.
Things only got better from there as not only did no one bite on drafting Colt McCoy (not a total surprise), but Jimmy Clausen also fell into the second round. And unless a team trades up in front of the Browns, this sets the Browns up perfectly to grab the QB of the future in the second round if they want to. Or they can fill one of multiple holes elsewhere on the team because, let’s be real here, when you rank 31st on defense and 32nd on offense you have a lot of holes to fill.
The last time the Browns drafted someone named Joe in the first round, it worked out pretty well. Optimism remains high that this Joe will be just as solid of a pick.
