The Browns had poor quarterback play, an offense that couldn’t move the ball and a defense that was on the field way too much.  The Browns were a mystery to football betting players as they went 7-8-1 getting NFL betting points nearly every week.  Since they couldn’t score, they oftentimes went under the total for football betting players and football betting handicappers going 6-9-1 to the under in 2006.

CLEVELAND BROWNS 2006 SEASON REVIEW

Cleveland Bronws 2006 Stats

The Cleveland Browns, the new Cleveland Browns, not Paul Brown’s team, have never been known for their prowess on the football field and in 2006’s football season they did not live down their reputation.  This team was just about as bad as it got in terms of wins and losses in football betting.  They were so bad in fact, that they had the third worst record in the NFL betting league, which may not be all that popular with the NFL betting fans, but it guarantees them yet another top ten pick in the draft.  The Browns have had so much practice picking at the top of football betting teams that you’d think they’d be getting good at it by now, but year after failing year, they just cannot win for trying.  Things work different in football betting.

Last football betting year’s draft picks actually were pretty productive, at least at the top.  First round pick Kamerion Wimbley was not really much of a fan favorite when announced as the Browns’ first pick in the 2006 draft, but the people of Cleveland and NFL betting followers quickly grew to love him.  He finished his rookie football betting campaign with 11 sacks and three fumble recoveries.  He also forced a fumble and was fourth in team tackles with 62.  It was a travesty that he wasn’t selected the defensive rookie of that football betting year.  He was won of the few bright spots on this team.

But the two previous numbers on picks also put up some big numbers on NFL betting, once they were finally healthy after injury-riddled and very troubling careers prior to 2006 football betting season.  Braylon Edwards finally started to live up to some of the hype he surrounds himself with.  He finished his first football betting healthy season with 61 catches, 884 yards and six touchdowns, including some highlight reel plays to go along with his 14 yard per catch average for NFL betting.  And the poster boy for Cleveland woes, the oft injured Kellen Winslow finally had that break year he’s been promising to have with 89 catches for 875 yards and three touchdowns.  On football betting season he showed some true brilliance on the field that for Browns fans was truly worth the wait.

Unfortunately, the good news ends there regarding the 2006 football betting season.  The team’s offense absolutely stunk.  The QB situation was never very good to start with and when starting QB Charlie Frye went down with an injury in mid football betting season it was all over.  However, before he went down he wasn’t all that impressive clocking a 72.2 QB rating with 17 INTs and only 10 TDs during the football betting season.  Derek Anderson came in off the bench and despite some ugly looking NFL betting stats actually played awfully admirably.  He finished with an abysmal 63.1 QB rating with 8 picks and 5 TDs to go along with a 54% completion rate on the football betting season.  Not the stuff that playoff teams are made of.  The general offense was indeed offensive as it rated 31st in rushing yards per game, 31st in total yards per game, 30th in points per game and overachieved by ranking 23rd in passing yards per game with 181 yards a game during the football betting period of time.  Just awful, anyway you look at it.

Much of the problem through the football betting season had to do with a decrepit offensive line which was supposed to be much improved with free agent signing LeCharles Bentley.  But as luck, very bad luck, would have it, his football betting season was over before he even saw a snap in the Brown’s uniform due to a training camp injury.  The running backs didn’t have a lot of holes to run in, but they did little to help the situation.  The teams leading rusher was Reuben Droughns who looked good at times but finished with only 758 yards on a 3.4 yards per carry average.  The team failed to field a 1,000 yard rusher, and barely ran for a 1,000 yards as a team.

The defense was more of the same.  It ranked 27th in terms of total yards per game, which is better than the offense’s respective ranking but still only better than only five teams in the entire NFL.  There were no real stand outs in this lineup either.  Aside from Wimbley who was a breath of fresh air on this football season, the rest of the team either looked it age or had no real talent.  Willie McGinst was brought in as a free agent for big money to pair with is former coordinator in New England.  He had almost no impact at all during the whole football betting season.  The team’s leading tackler was Sean Jones who had a decent stat NFL betting line with 101 tackles and a fumble recovery.  Simon Fraser had 4.5 sacks but did little else.

And it came as no real big surprise at the end of the 2006 football betting season that this group of underachievers did not even come remotely close to making a the playoffs, or even a winning record for that matter.  There’s always 2007 football betting season!
