The Cleveland Browns need to start throwing the ball to guys that can catch it

I have only seen evidence that three players on the Browns will likely catch the ball when they throw it to them.  Mike Furrey, rookie Brian Robiskie and TE Steve Heiden appear to have good hands and that’s about it on the Browns.  Furrey should be used more as he is the #3 WR on the Browns.  He has caught 13 passes for 107 yards (8.2 avg) so far this season.  Rookie 2nd round pick Brian Robiskie was known for his hands in college but he didn’t make his first catch of the season until last week in Pittsburgh and it was good for 23 yards.  TE Steve Heiden’s knees are banged up right now but he almost never has a football bounce out of his hands.  He has caught 8 passes for 54 yards (6.8 avg) with 1 TD grab this season.  The Browns just can’t afford to keep throwing the ball to guys that can’t catch.
