First 1/3 of this article is pretty telling

This guy speaks of Anthony Richardson as if Cam Newton never existed.

  Also, I don’t recall hearing that the playbook was Browns, just that it was a collaborative effort.  Even so, Reich’s sequence of plays is more of a problem than the play designs, on top of the abysmal game management.  
 

 Promote Brown to play call duties before you decide to can the guy…

Brown wrote most of the playbook. I’m not sure if the ‘answer is on the roster’.

It's one thing to write the playbook. It's another to be the one using it. Think of it like an artist who draws an out line then hands it to someone else to interpret and color. Guarantee you its not going to look the same as what the original artist intended.

I don’t think it matters much who is calling plays. Brown wrote the playbook. This is his system too.

Remember, Brown was coaching RBs the past few years. This is his first go at OC in the NFL. 
 

IMO, Brown will be the first to get the boot. Frank will get another year with the ultimatum to find a better OC with a better offensive plan.

Maybe I’m just trying to find any glimmer of hope here, but I could’ve sworn out offense seemed to come to life during preseason when Brown was running it. Am I wrong here?

When he said they had a call that could go to Theilen and only him, and he wasn’t even in the game, he absolutely told on himself. This offense is stuck in the past. It’s Kanye the least innovative, least “dictating to the defense” offense that I’ve ever seen us run. It’s just slow and dated and boring. If Young was in Houston he’d be lighting it up like Stroud and if Stroud were here he’d seem stuck in the mud like Young. Reich has GOT to give up supreme control over the offense. 

There’s a part in that article talking about how things have evolved from plays that are only created for one person, which made me immediately thing of the Thielen situation.
 

He announced to the world how outdated he is when he made that statement.

Yep. Go ask Byron Leftwich how that worked out for him. Could've been coaching Lawrence now, btw.

I'm just wondering why Tepper, Fitterer and company ever thought that Reich was some type of offensive play calling guru. Fitterer and Morgan have seen enough football to know that Reich ain't the business. Someone had to lead Tepper down the wrong path. Simplistic schemes just aren't going to fool anybody in the modern NFL. 

Reich get's undeserved credit for making Wentz look good.

Would our offensive line be any better under Houston’s coach though?

[amcoolio]

I've been calling for Reich's firing since week 2. The offense is horrendous, and a huge step back from Ben McAdoo of all people (and Joe Brady). It's unfair to pen such a predictable, ancient offense on Bryce and the players. "But Andy Dalton" that was in spite of Seattle's putrid defense and also playing prevent in the 4th

? Ben Johnson completely declined to interview. Josh McDaniels in the past comes to mind as well. It happens.

And that’s why I said most, it’s happens but it’s generally rare.

As I said, not true. Do you know who Ted Stepien is? Donald Sterling? 

You're clueless.
