I think with Hue there are so many things at play. It wasn't all his decision that they have passed over QB's like Wentz. Last year Hue put all of his eggs into the RGIII basket...
Also the browns do play hard for him and from all accounts the players love him, he motivates the young guys and he hasn't lost the lockeroom like some coaches do at the end of their tenure.
If gordon can keep his head straight along with a healthy Duke Johnson, they can compete. The problem is that division is so tough.
