Chris Mortenson is reporting Nate Burleson has fractured his previously broken arm. Is Greg Little now our #1 WR? Football gods mocking us again. Burleson

Not typical to re-break same arm @Nate13Burleson @Browns without something unusual (@RobGronkowski infection) unless it never fully healed.

Could have been set poorly by md and never fully healed - hopefully they will get it right or do a pinning

OK, this is the first time I have heard the word "Minor" associated with this .... so that does make me feel better. (even though maybe it shouldn't) lol http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/05/nate_burleson_cleveland_browns.html#incart_m-rpt-1BEREA, Ohio -- Hours after news broke that receiver Josh Gordon is facing banishment from the league for at least a year, word came down that Browns receiver Nate Burleson underwent minor surgery to fix a plate in his left arm and will be out until the start of training camp. ESPN's Chris Mortensen first reported that Burleson injured the arm. It's the same one he broke in two places last September in a one-car accident when he tried to save a pizza from falling off the front passenger seat. Burleson's agent, Ken Sarnoff, confirmed the surgery in a tweet. "For the record, Nate Burleson hurt his arm in OTAs,'' Sarnoff tweeted. "He had very minor surgery. He will be 100% for day one of camp. Again, 100% for camp!'' It was another blow for a receiving corps rocked by the news of Gordon's failed drug test, which was also reported by ESPN. Burleson missed the final day of voluntary minicamp last month, but coach Mike Pettine said he was excused and "he's in good standing with us.'' Instead, he was actually undergoing the surgery that day. Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer declined to confirm or deny Friday that Burleson suffered the injury, saying they're not required to report injuries in the offseason. Farmer, who also wouldn't comment on Gordon's failed drug test per league rules, said he still feels good about his wide receiver depth. The club drafted three players Friday, but no receivers. In the second round, they drafted offensive tackle Joel Bitonio from Nevada, passing on receivers Marqise Lee of USC, Jordan Matthews of Vandebilt and Paul Richardson of Colorado. After undergoing surgery on the arm last season, Burleson, 32, missed the first half of the season, but returned for the final eight games, catching 39 passes for 461 yards and a touchdown. The Lions cut him in February in a move that enabled them to save $5.5 million on their salary cap. Burleson, who spent the past four seasons in Detroit, might be counted on heavily this season if Gordon is banned from the league. The Browns also signed free agent receiver Andrew Hawkins, formerly of the Bengals.

If he hurt the same arm in OTA's how will he survive a real training camp? OTA's are as light in contact drills as one can get. We better not be counting on him this year. So as it stands we have Little at #1 and Hawkins at #2 with Cooper in the slot. They better plan on running the ball.....

Yeah,that's their plan.Defense and ball control.I wanted a high powered offense,not some BS no big plays one.Why did they even bother drafting JM? Just to sell tickets and jersey's? What about Hoyer too? .."He drops back at the 30,scans the field,finds Little,and he drops it!! Oh that's a shame folks,as they kept the game close,but just didn't have the weapons to stretch that defense today."

JC. I am just waiting for the next bad thing to "pop out of the back end" of the factory tunnel. Back to my original sig it seems. UNBELIEVABLE!  
Einstein could not even fathom the mathematical improbabilities of the Browns woes.

That is the problem.
Since it is obvious we are going to only "maybe" be able to run the ball.
Other teams load the box and blitz poor JM to the moon.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Wonder how long that QB list is gonna be on the back of jersey by the end of this season.
Before anyone else starts calling out pissed off fans.
I will answer the age old question....Why do Browns fans always predict doom and gloom?
WELL LOOK AROUND.

Why not. Here's part of his resume below. A real + is that after he left he did add to it.

Braylon Edwards developed a reputation for challenging his teammates on the sidelines when things weren't going well. In this 2006 loss to Cincinnati, Edwards eventually was pulled away from quarterback Charlie Frye after arguing over not getting the ball on a fourth-down pass.BEREA, Ohio -- It didn't take Eric Mangini long to figure out what some of those before him already knew: Braylon Edwards was more trouble than he was worth.
It began on draft day in 2005, when Edwards was visibly upset that the Miami Dolphins picked Ronnie Brown at No. 2 overall instead of him. Edwards admitted he wanted to go to Miami, and lashed out at the Dolphins and then-coach Nick Saban for lying to him and using him.
It was doomed from the start.
Whether it was a circus catch or a somersault during pre-game introductions for a Monday night game against the New York Giants, Braylon Edwards liked the attention of being an NFL star. But according to some teammates, he didn't have as much interest in putting in the effort between games.During the 2005 season, Edwards displayed his uncanny knack for saying something controversial and then blaming it on the media. That year, he said he thought a switch from Trent Dilfer to Charlie Frye would give the offense more life and energy. When he took heat from teammates, he said he was taken out of context.
But it was 2006 that was really the banner year for Edwards. That year he:
• Disobeyed head coach Romeo Crennel, renting a helicopter to attend the Ohio State-Michigan game in Columbus and arriving late for a team meeting. Crennel fined him.
• Criticized offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson's playcalling, saying he wasn't aggressive enough in the red zone.
• Called out teammate safety Brian Russell, saying Russell's hit that knocked Cincinnati's Chad Johnson out of the game "bull----." Crennel, in turn, blasted Edwards for criticizing his own teammate. "It was a legal hit," Crennel said. "You don't air family laundry."
• Went berserk on the sidelines of the Bengals game, grabbing Charlie Frye's jersey and screaming at teammates. Later, he accused teammates of quitting and "flat-out not playing."
• Was benched by Crennel for most of first half of a 22-7 loss to Tampa Bay after missing a team meeting Friday morning. Then he dropped two passes. Afterwards, Derek Anderson said, "We just all need to grow up and make plays."
Folks lambasted Crennel for not cracking down harder on Edwards, but several sources said General Manager Phil Savage, who drafted Edwards, prevented Crennel from doing so.
Other sources said that when Edwards wasn't missing team meetings, he was falling asleep in some of them -- especially on Friday mornings after being out late on Thursday nights. Again, Edwards was viewed as untouchable.
After the 2006 season, veterans such as Joe Jurevicius tried to set him straight, and it worked for a while. In 2007, he had his Pro Bowl season, catching 80 passes for 1,289 yards with 16 touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Edwards and the Browns, it went to his head. In August of 2008, he was pulled over after driving 120 mph in Avon at 2 a.m. with his passenger vomiting. Edwards only got a ticket after WOIO revealed the incident, and he blamed it on the station.
Then, he ran around practice that summer with his shoes off and had his foot gashed by Donte Stallworth, missing the entire preseason. When he returned, he dropped three passes in the opener -- the start of his 2008 dropfest. Two days later, he said of LeBron James, "LeBron isn't a Cleveland guy. LeBron only plays for the Cavaliers, and who knows if he even likes the Cavaliers?"
It was the first sign that he had issues with the King.
Edwards' season went downhill from there, ending with an NFL-high total of between 16 and 24 drops -- depending on who's counting. He was also near the top of the league in intercepted passes intended for him. Along the way, he told ESPN's Jim Rome how much he hated being here as a rookie and how he felt "unappreciated" and "a marked man" because he was from Michigan. He also frequently bashed offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski in front of teammates, sources said.
During the Texans game on Nov. 23, he approached safety Will Demps between plays about how to get into modeling and acting, according to Demps in ESPN The Magazine.
When the season was over, Edwards was out partying with Donte Stallworth -- spending $3,443 on champagne, vodka and other drinks at a posh Miami bar -- on the night Stallworth drove drunk and killed Mario Reyes.
Edwards was reportedly one of the players fined recently for not paying his hotel incidentals and is believed to have filed a grievance against the Browns. During the Bengals game, when he was held without a catch, he was overheard barking about not getting the ball. Later that night, when he was at The View, he reportedly complained to WKNR personality Sabrina Parr about his coaches and quarterbacks, saying he has no room for improvement.
Afterward, he allegedly punched James' friend, Edward Givens, and also punched his ticket out of town.
At least Mangini figured out the truth before the trading deadline passed Oct. 20.

Farmer said he won't miss any games. Kind of worried though if his pizza arm is going to be able to hold up come game time though?

If he acts like he won the super bowl after making a 1st down, at least we'll know it came with double cheese.
