Browns waive the must have back.

Three interesting Browns notes all from the same day!
Well,interesting isn't always the same as good ,but it is the Browns after all-so I'm used to it.

Remember the must have running back Robert Turbin?
The runner supposedly so desired by both Mike Pettine and Ray Farmer that they cut Terrelle Pryor as a big bodied WR project to claim?
Although to be completely fair,Pryor is still sitting at home since that cut,both Pettine and Farmer raved about the addition of Turbin and that his skills were so valuable that the Browns would wait weeks until Turbin recovered from a high ankle sprain.
Five weeks later,Robert Turbin made his debut and after three games,60 yards on 18 carries,two fumbles and not getting off the bench in Cincinnati despite being active on the roster,the Browns let him go on waivers.
I'm not going to kill the Browns for Turbin not working out.
Not every waiver guy makes an impact and the number is relatively low,but this stands out because of how Farmer and Pettine raved about how much they loved Turbin,what a super addition,stunned they got him and on and on it went to the point of hyperbole over a running back had just been released.
And yet,he played three games and goodbye?
This situation really makes me wonder about the talent evaluating by the Browns to be so effusive about a player and he can't even make the field?
Interesting...

Just as interesting is Mike Pettine's statement that Josh McCown would start against the Steelers,if healthy-even though he doesn't know if he is healthy.
I'm not a huge Johnny Manziel guy,but the Browns need to know if he can play before drafting another quarterback in theory.
This insistence on McCown tells me two things-Mike Pettine thinks his job is on the line and Farmer,Pettine or both have already decided that Manziel is not the guy and he won't be given the opportunity unless forced to by injury....

The mildly nice story is Cleveland native and former Maryland Terrapin /Towson Tiger Monte Gaddis.
Gaddis is standing outside the Browns training facility and with a sign is asking the Browns for a tryout.
I doubt the Browns give him a shot,at least now anyway,but he seems as qualified as many to be a training camp body,so why not give it to him for 2016 camp????
