I cannot believe there are people on this board who think that Shurmur hasn't done anything worthwhile in his two years here, or that the future of this team looks bright mainly in part because of him.
Impatient lot around here. |
We have a bright future because of talent brought in by Tom Heckart.

So, I missed the game. How did Thad look? I assume he took it easy on the Steelers and let them win so they felt good about the end of the year.

Like all Browns fans after a loss to the Steelers, he's probably drunk on the internet complaining about his team.

I think Shurmur called the "OG takes a play off" play. Not suprising since he called 3 fumble plays and an INT play. A good coach would take all of those plays out of the playbook.
I wonder if the next coach will call the "win more games" play? |
A smart coach would have called sprints and rollouts away from the lineman he should have known was going to be blitzed against.
Everyone watching knew the blitz was coming to Miller's gap. Except Shrumur apparently.
Keep defending him, though. It seems like you think it makes you look like the smartest person in the room. |
I'm not defending Shurmur, I'm defending against overgeneralization and oversimplification.
Miller was the problem along with Lewis and maybe even Mack. All of those players had more to do with the outcome of that play than the play call.
The call itself needed better execution OR an audible to a run play. And if neither thing would have worked, Shurmer's call would still be blamed instead of the execution.
Whatever you think SHOULD have been called still would likely fail in that situation, or do you disagree? |
I disagree that you continue to call plays the same regardless of the personnel you have in the game.
Yes, execution is of the utmost importance for a play's success, but the play itself must be designed and called for the best chance of successful execution.
Rarely did we ever see Shurmur do that. |
The play must be designed because it works if you execute it correctly. You don't bastardize your ideals. You get to work and you work harder. At least thats how I was brought up.
You practice and you practice.
The WCO works. The WCO didn't work here. WCO didn't work for Bill Walsh his first two years either. |
Shurmur's play calling flat out sucks. he keeps the QBs on a leash, doesn't play them to their strengths, calls the same repetitive short cross routes in 3rd and long situations. he did the same thing with the Rams. i agree that browns fans have no patience, but it really is hard when i don't see any future progress with him designing or calling the plays.
he consistently doesn't go for point at the end of the 1st half. any other team with 1min to go and 3 time outs would take some shots down the field. especially when trailing by 7pts.
have you listened to Shurmur's press conferences? he's certainly not a guy I could see commanding respect in the locker room and establishing an identity for the Browns. |
Wat?
you know i love ya pig but come on--- the players love playing for him. D'Qwell Jackson just said he'd run through a wall for him. Sheldon Brown has echoed the same sentiments. Thomas said he resigned here because of his hiring.
Ever maybe think they like playing for him because he takes shots on the chin from the media for his players?
Also just look at other WCOs around the league. When the SAME FREAKIN PLAYS are ran with perfection, you get Aaron Rodgers. When you don't run it to perfection it doesnt work. THATS THE WCO. Walsh didn't get it perfect in two years either.
Benjamin and Gordon had high YPCs. Cant get high YPCs without big plays. Big plays seemed to suit them well. But we did nothing at all that played into their streingths.. |
its good that DQwell etc have spoken out in favor or Shurmur. they're good team players. still doesn't convince me that Shurmur is the best man for the job.
Shurmur doesn't really take shots on the chin, just makes an arse of himself.
well then the WCO isn't what is best for the Browns. you can't throw Weeden in there, under center all the time, and say you have to run this dinky 5yd cross route to your rookie WR perfectly or else we lose and your development is hindered. Weeden is best under shotgun yet the play calls were under center and even sometimes play action on 3rd down.
also what does it say to your QB when you don't give them a chance to score points at the end of the half?
Gordon and Benj had decent rookie years but the YPC is pretty deceiving. 1 long rec per game isn't gonna add up to many points scored or Ws.

You don't compromise a system that has worked for 30 years and still continues to work simply because your QB can't take a snap from under center
just ludicrous

you don't draft a tall, immobile gun slinger quarterback who was most successful in shotgun and say i have this system in which you have to have great footwork and fit balls into tight areas 4 yards down the field in order to be successful here.

Dude was accurate in college. In fact accurate as hell. Don't see why the last part makes sense.
Montana wasn't so mobile. Weeden actually looked good on the run when he ran.
They obviously saw something (in fact it was the senior bowl practices where he improved a bunch under center) that made them think that he could be a good NFL QB. There were flashes. If you didn't see those flashes, I'll say it right now- you're talking out of your you know what.
Whatever, I have no say in this organization but it looks like we're giving up too soon, yet again
and then we complain about why we suck.
you need stability, even if the first one or two years may suck you need to stick with it. you might cut short on something that could be great. it's all about hoping for the best though, something that this miserable city can't do. we pull the trigger too quick.

Heckart's impact >>>> Pat Shurmur's impact.
No way around it.
I'm sure you could find a way to argue it though. I mean you are a math genius so you clearly know football better than everyone else too.
