So, after yet another Shipwreck Ron debacle in Oakland, having Kalil and Gradkowski IR'd, following Luke suffering one of the hardest concussions to watch on live TV, following the NFL allowing open season on our franchise QB and league MVP in Cam throughout most of the season, and all of that cumulating in one of the worst seasons by a team to ever reach the Superbowl the season prior and likely yet another two seasons gone without back to back winning records, it had me thinking...

The Browns fans have long been considered the most downtrodden fanbase in possibly all of sports, but most definitely in the NFL.  But, I think that's a bit unfair.  They did win championships prior to the Superbowl era and they did have great success at various periods since, they just never won the Superbowl.

But, as a Panthers fan, I think it may be worse to experience such extreme highs without actually achieving the ultimate goal and then immediately follow that up with a manic swing to the opposite end of the success/failure spectrum and flail around magnificently in record-breaking ways.

It's a sad, slow crawl to the end at this point, so it had me thinking this morning to pose this question.  If you can answer it as objectively as possible, which fanbase has it worse?  I seriously think there is an argument to be made for our case, because at least if you have are a Browns fan, at some point you learned to temper your expectations (and not to mention, most Browns fans are also Cavaliers fans, who happened into unbelievable "luck" with multiple #1 picks, Lebron, and ultimately a championship, so they have some solace).

What do you think?

The Browns and there isn't a rational argument otherwise. Just look at the infamous Browns starting QB list since 1999. Derek Anderson (Panthers backup) is the best QB they've had since then.

 

It's like asking, "Is it better to live in your parents basement your entire life and never having friends or a girlfriend, or having great relationships, taking the good with the bad?"

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
