For a team with basically 0 star athletes, they are quick to get rid of by far their best athlete due to a minor injury.

Take it from the ol' track coach, a hamstring is not a minor injury and, depending on the severity of the injury, we can be talking about months for full recovery especially if the decision is made to "tape him up and put him out there."
The rest of your post gets a "strongly agree" from me.

If the hamstring can't get better I wonder if they could put him on the partial season IR. That way he could get back to 100% and stay in Cleveland to get some extra work. I'm pretty sure IR guys can't practice with the team, but I'm sure he could run some routes after practice with the QB coach. Chances are by week 6-8 one of the WR's will go down for the year and they'll have a spot open. With a guy like Nelson going down for the year there probably are other teams that would give him a roster spot for a week or two to catch on if he gets cut so it would be a shame to not give him every chance with the Browns.

From the Mayo clinic website: "Returning to strenuous activities before your hamstring muscles are completely healed might cause an injury recurrence. In some cases, a recurrent hamstring injury may be more severe than the original injury."

I think because it doesn't require stitches or surgery we tend to think that a hamstring pull is a minor injury. Here's what one looks like:

When you see one, it looks as if someone punched the back of the victim's leg. Until the body has time to flush out the edema there will be a good deal of pain in the area.

Browns need Terrelle Pryor, and he needs them

Time to put up: Terrelle Pryor sounded dejected after Thursday’s practice.

Not defeated. Not discouraged. But dejected, as if the strain of this experiment at wide receiver, interrupted twice by hamstring strains, had taken an emotional toll on him.

He should have been happy because he had made it through a second practice in a row for only the second time in a month. Barring a setback on Friday, the converted quarterback is on course to make his NFL debut as a wide receiver Saturday night in Tampa.

"This injury has taken two things away from me,” Pryor said. “It's taken so many things away from me in terms of my love for the game. There are times I haven't seen my (1-year-old) son in three weeks.

“Not seeing my son, not being able to play football, a lot of people would go crazy. I’m balancing that out. I know it’s important, I know that, but at the same time, this injury, I’m dedicated to it and I’m dedicated to getting healthy as fast as possible so I can help the Browns. That’s really where we’re at.”

Pryor’s chances to make the team as a wide receiver could hinge on Saturday’s game. The 6-4, 223-pound freak athlete catches the football in practice drills as well as a natural receiver who’d been doing it all his life. He has to show he can do it in a game with a safety honing in on him.
