Well it has been a long offseason. It seems like a long time since Pat Shurmur was handed his walking papers after yet another disappointing Browns season. And a lot has changed since then. We were all expecting Chip Kelly to come in and run the Browns, yet that didn't happen.
Rob Chudzinski took over the reigns and with him came an army of hope in the form of Norv Turner and Ray Horton. Then things got ugly as owner Jimmy Haslam's personal business became national news. Then things got even worse when Mike Lombardi was hired as the GM, despite his rocky relationship with the Browns fans. Then things looked up as the Browns pursued a couple actual veterans in Paul Kruger and Desmond Bryant.
In a nutshell no one knows what to expect. The starter's play in the preseason was either awful or exceptional. But there are question marks nearly every where. Was Brandon Weeden's lackluster season last season a product of a poorly organized offensive scheme, or is he just not that good? After Joe Haden who on this team is capable of covering an NFL receiver? What happens if something happens to Trent Richardson? Will our pass rush actually work? Can we run block? Will Josh Gordon and Greg Little pull their heads out of their rears and become true professionals?
To me it sounds like too many questions that need answered positively to have any hope for post season this year. So let me post what I believe to be the most important question that needs answered this season. Are we heading in the right direction? If that answer is yes, I will be fine with it.
