First Tommy Vardell,  now Owen Marecic.  And, of course, the fans are disappointed.

I'd be willing to accept that Marecic does not stand out in the pros like he did in college.  That's what happens in a population of performance-selected, all highly-motivated players.  Marecic's standout asset at Stanford was that he brought it...on every damned play.  He played with an NFL attitude among college guys.  Now he's playing among NFL guys who all have NFL attitudes.  I don't know enough of what Cleveland's strengths and weaknesses or scheme requirements are to speculate on whether Marecic really is or isn't measuring up.
