Because the clowns brass are not Buckeye fans like us. Troy was a great college QB, but there's a reason 32 teams are not calling him. I watched him play for the 49ers a couple of years back, it was one of the things that resparked my interest in them, and aside from one good half against a terrible Rams team, he was not good. Yes, they sucked then, but so do the clowns.
I do not want the Browns taking a player just because he is a Buckeye but the other two guys that they were looking at are not very good either and at least Smith knows something about running a "pro-style" offense but I guess it does not make any difference who they bring in this late in the season especially with their record.
My only point was that the only reason Troy gets mentioned here is because he's a former Buckeye great. He really hasn't shown anything more in the NFL than any number of other guys. It's a Buckeye site, so naturally he's thought of here, but if went to school somewhere else, he'd never be mentioned.
at 6'4" and 270 pounds, I doubt if he is a field stretcher.
It's a testament to how loyal that fanbase is. In most other markets, after all of this dumbfuckery, they'd be struggling to draw 40K a game. The fans deserve a better product than what they've been paying their hard-earned money for. I haven't been to a game in years. Even passed up really cheap tickets to watch them play Miami two years ago to go to some rinky-dink beer fest. I won't put any more effort or money into that organization until I see legitimate signs of sustained success. And I'm not talking one fluke season like 2007.
