Yea I would take that deal. 

A better and more relevant question in my opinion is would be to offer a comparison.

Would you rather win it all and suck or come close every year but never win one?

Because compared to the last 26 years I’d take the deal.

But if those last 26 years, say 15-20 of them we’d always be close and in the mix vs. winning one then being the Browns every year…that’s a harder choice imo.

Yeah, I mean whatever makes you sleep better at night. 

It's not a matter of rationalizing. It's just open mindedness.

I genuinely don't know whether Tepper is going to be a successful owner or not, but that leaves all options open.

Saying you know we're going to be terrible is just as invalid as saying you know we'll be champions.

I've never liked the idea of living off a single season's glory while sucking from then on.

If I had that mentality, I might as well be a Jets fan.

(or a Bears fan)

We weren't that many years removed from wearing diapers when Broadway Joe won. People are still mentioning the '85 Bears to this day. It's one thing to see things from a young man's point of view, but I bet that those who were 50+ then, most of them no longer here, were pleased as punch to see their team as the champs!

And I'd be pleased to see the Panthers win one.

But by the time we were in year ten of being dog sh-t, saying "well hey, we were good once" isn't gonna make all the bad feelings from that go away.

Nope, I'd rather have a competitive team on the regular than a one-hit wonder.  You can only bask in the glory one moment in time for so long.  That would like saying, the Panthers always suck, but at least we have '03 and '15! 

Pretty much.

And as good as those memories are, they don't make me feel any better when I'm in the middle of watching a game where we look like garbage.

I'd bet the Jets would gladly have their lone Super Bowl revoked if it meant getting monkey off their back.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
