When something is interesting, the story behind it doesn’t need to be long and drawn out.

Indeed, it’s much better when it’s short and sweet, right to the point.

And so it was last Thursday when media members got their first chance during OTAs to talk to members of the Browns.

We’ll begin with new Browns offensive coordinator, and former Browns quarterback during the Romeo Crennel coaching era, Ken Dorsey.

When talking about the team’s new offense, made up in part with his thoughts and also those of Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, Dorsey said there would be “a constant evaluation” of the offense, and how it is fitting the Browns’ most  importance player overall, quarterback Deshaun Watson, as they move forward.

Hmmm.

OK.

Perhaps I’m missing something here — goodness knows, it wouldn’t be the first time, right? — but isn’t coaching in every sport, at every level, constant evaluation? To be sure, if you’re not getting better, then you’re getting worse. There is no standing still, for standing still is getting worse. A coach needs to constantly evaluate that to make sure that the players in his group, whether it be just one part of the team or the whole club if he’s the head coach, are getting better.

And then there’s Jameis Winston. He’s the backup quarterback for the Browns, of course, but he will likely play this year in games and situations that matter because he is one big hit away from being the “first-teamer.” Watson has a shoulder that was badly injured last year and he is coming off surgery. If he gets hit the wrong way, even just a little bit, then Winston is going to have to come into the game. I am dubious of Winston‘s ability to help the Browns win the championship. I just don’t see it. He turns the ball over way too much, and even in the times that he doesn’t, he isn’t consistent enough.

On the other hand, however, after hearing his comments in that media availability, I think he will add more to the Browns off the field than on it. What a pleasant, positive, wonderful human being. Guys like that help you win. They really do, because they are examples for everybody else on the team. They are coaches when the coaches are not around.

I have become a Jameis Winston fan because of that. I like who he is, and what he is.
