Hobson on Mike's reluctance to change

Nobody is asking Mike Brown to fire coaches after one or two seasons, but Christ Almighty something has to give at some point.  There is an enormous difference between two years and fifteen.  Talk about a reach.

The thing is, we've had one GM for 26 years, one HC for 15 years, and two different starting QBs for 14 years.  We can rag on the proof the Browns/Jaguars/Dolphins/Bills lend to change for the sake of change not leading to championships (by the way, 3 of those 4 teams currently have better records than we do and 2 of them had better records than we did last year, too), but the Bengals are proof that consistency doesn't lead to championships, either.

All this "not rocking the boat' stuff played a lot better when we were melting down in the playoffs...not during the early weeks of the season.  And I know a lot can happen between now and the end of the season, but here are the teams that have as many, or less wins than we currently do right now, and the teams that had as many or less wins than we did last season:

2 or less wins as of now
Bengals
Browns
Colts
Giants
49ers
Buccaneers


6 or less wins in 2016
Bengals
Jets
Chargers
Browns
Jaguars
49ers
Rams
Bears
Panthers


So we share both lists with only the Browns and the 49ers. Anyone else has moved out of our league between their lousy 2016's and now. To think that teams like the Jets, Rams, Bears, and Jaguars have left us behind in any sense in the past year is quite the kick in the groin.

So yeah, we aren't the Patriots.
