I love it when you get like this. 

tell me about Brock, all over again. 

What would you like to know?  I said he has all of the physical tools, but was damaged in Houston by poor coaching.  I wanted to see him compete and if Hue could fix him.  He did compete, he started more preseason games than any QB that we kept.  Ultimately he could not be fixed by Hue and was cut.  What I wanted to see happen mostly did happen other than I was hopeful that Hue and company could make corrections.  Its not like all of the goobers that were saying cut him or trade him the very same day that we got him were even remotely more close to reality than I have been.

Burley, Hillary, Sterup and Higgins are the bottom of the roster IMO. I could see any of the first three being replaced by a waiver claim. Higgins I think might deserve to be replaced, but I think the FO still wants to give him more time to develop as it does traditionally take a couple of years for the light to come on for WRs

I think again the biggest thing is 

This October Rashard Higgins will turn 23

This October Jordan Leslie will turn 26

The FO is banking a 26 year old Higgins will be better than the player Leslie is currently 

Hall I think lost his spot to Coates who is also younger

I really don't think that they are thinking 3 years into the future with players on the bottom of the roster.  I could be wrong.

They're doing that with the entire roster

Didn't you just see Barnidge, Cody Parkey, Dez B, Brock, John Greco, and Joe Haden all get cut?

They're playing Madden my friend. Get the young players and develop them

well you were completely wrong about brock, so...

IMO they are playing 2-3years into futures with this team. Some of those players might be in the plans, some of them will play them out of it. IMO, if things go right, the browns should be hitting their stride by the 2018, more so the 2019 season. With the kind of talent they can get this draft, this will be the class to put this team over the top.

Those guys you mention are not bottom of the roster guys, they are established top of the roster vet type players.  With guys that barely make the cut to make the roster this year, as young kids, I don't think they are majorly thinking about them 3 years from now as likely next year they won't be here.

Well that's because all the old bottom of the roster players are gone
