Really? Comparing the Cleveland Steamers to the Panthers is really insulting. Trust me, my daughter moved from Charlotte to Cleveland for her fiance but I guarantee that she would never be a Browns fan. He is a Browns fan but is glad he can root with her for a real team. He even went to San Fran with her for the super bowl.

This topic is hilarious considering we are coming off 3 straight division titles and a super bowl appearance.  

If the Browns had a coach and general manager that had done that they'd be worshiped in Cleveland.  Remember this was a fanbase that was fired up about Derek Anderson at one point.

The Browns are a rough spot for a really good city. I had always made jokes about Cleveland until I had the chance to visit there a couple of years ago. Beautiful place, nice people, so many cool things to see and do.

But the Browns... man, the NFL owners need to get together and force a change in ownership of that franchise. In a league reformed around the idea of competitive parity (over the long haul), the Browns have been an abject failure. Bad ownership, bad management and horrible coaching. Their scouts are terrible and the talent they bring there rarely seems to have any real desire to be there. 

We're on the upswing as a whole and have been up and down since our inception. We've had playoff years, two Superb Owl appearances, some HoF -to-be players developed here and have generally been a bright spot among expansion teams. If you take the Seahawks out of the discussion, we're the most successful expansion team since the AFL/NFL merger.

Atlanta? New Orleans? Tampa Bay? Houston? Jacksonville? Cleveland? Our history is better than Tennessee (Houston Oilers), Cincinnati, Philadelphia, the Cardinals (St. Louis/Arizona/Chicago combined), Detroit, and San Diego. And really, would you swap histories with teams like Minnesota, Buffalo, the Jets, and Kansas City? Heck, the Rams have a Superb Owl victory and we've still got a better resume than they do.

Look, once upon a time, the Patriots were the suck team of the NFL. And to bring this back around full circle, and then one day they hired this guy that got fired by the Browns. 

And that, right there, tells you why it will always be worse to be a Browns fan.

-franchise leaves town and then wins two super bowls over the next 15-ish years

-fire head coach in pretty shitty fashion (belichick was assured he'd be the head coach in baltimore but was fired like a week later) only for him to go to new england and put together a career that might result in his name being next to vince lombardi's on the super bowl trophy

-get your franchise back only for it to be the laughing stock of the league for its entire existence

I swear some of you newer fans are so spoiled it's ridiculous. "WAAAAAAH we were bad one year after going to the playoffs 3 in a row and going to the super bowl, fire the GM, the head coach and Jerry Richardson they suck now because we didn't win this year, WAAAAAH"

Panther fans are the spoiled little rich girls who got a Toyota Camry for their sweet 16 then bitched about it not being the Sporty and cute Camaro that they really really wanted.

Browns fans are the starving children in Africa that don't have electricity and mine diamonds in slavery just to survive.

There is no comparison to who has it worse. Even implying that our fans have it worse is an insult to all Browns fans and starving African Children everywhere.

    • Rags lost again. All is right in the hockey world. 
    • He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan. 
    • I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
