Yea Buck Ortega is gonna be a pretty good backup in the league. The other bad thing about us releasing him is that it shows how desperate we were for running back depth (meaning the team officials are very concerned w/ Portis's injury)
No it shows how concerned they were about special teams depth. The 4th and 5th string RBs weren't kept for rb depth. They were kept because they are good special teamers

I think its's presumptious to call Nemo garbage so soon. He's had limited playing time in a very crowded backfield.
every skins game i have watched he has been not exsistent in the running game and has fumbled

I got buckortega once. Took two full months for it to clear up. If anyone tells you that you can not contract get buckortega just by sitting on a toilet sit that a person with buckortega previously sat on, they are dead wrong.
Buck Ortega will train with the Browns for two years and when he gets enough experience and shows solid ability we'll sign via free agency. We always use the rest of the league as our farm club.

It means he's not as good :P didn't think i'd have to spell that out... and ortega probably will spend the entire year on the inactive list, since the browns have above average TEs.
So we kept Patten an over the hill WR who will probably be inactive all year insted of a young promising te who will do the same? and I didn't have to spell it out

do you seriously think we're only going to have 3 active WRs on game day? what world are you living in? ortega would have been inactive every game, but you'd rather have a wasted roster space over someone who can actually help the team win games? that's unbelievable, but whatever, i'm glad you can spell :P
Let's not get too crazy over Buck Ortega because he caught a few balls in the preseason. He needs to put on some bulk or convert to WR.
Why would Patten be inactive at all this year? That's just ridiculous.
