How do you explain these changes?Whoa whoa calm down. Richardson...ONE guy...can't turn this whole team around. There's the offensive line, which can't run block worth ####...and the passing game to take attention off Richardson to make him effective, which doesn't exist in Cleveland. Yes, McCoy is gone...but Weeden? Cleveland lost out on every QB teams wanted this past off-season and had last pick of the top 4 QBs of this draft. The guy played the shotgun with big weapons around him in college. Now he has to take snaps from the center with little to no weapons. Richardson? Will be pass blocking on passing downs or getting the most attention from defenses. Is there a chance Weeden is better than McCoy? Yes. Is there a chance he's not? Yes. Let's wait until at least the middle of training camp to start calling Weeden a huge upgrade. I wouldn't call Richardson over Hillis a HUGE upgrade either.I agree. The Browns got huge upgrades at two of the most important positions on the offense. For the record, I'm referring to Richardson entering the starting lineup, and McCoy getting kicked out of it. Even the slightest improvement from last year would make a couple of Browns worth having on your fantasy team this year.This type of backwards-looking thinking sometimes causes people to miss out on quality FF material, but to each his own.
