The team owner/GM is a delusional homer. It takes an incredible amount of failure for him to make any changes, and you will always see him defend himself and the results, even if the results are poor.
As fans, it sucks. Who wants to hear "at least we're not the Browns" (basically) from their team owner/GM? That's a real championship attitude right there. I can definitely picture John Elway saying the Broncos record "isn't so bad" over the last 2 years. I can totally picture Robert Kraft or Art Rooney II talking about "mathematical problems"...basically excusing losing and suggesting "you win some, you lose some" in other words.
Seriously, that's a really shitty attitude to have in a team owner/GM, and if you can't admit as much, you're not being honest.
"Mathematical problems"
Mike Brown quote: "This league has a problem with the mathematical issue that only half the teams are going to win. That doesn't mean everyone else is incompetent or bad."
Mike's father Paul founded the team to whip up on the Browns and win Super Bowls with uniform colors similar to the Browns.
I doubt that Paul ever even thought of "mathematical issues" being a "league problem" causing half of the teams & their leadership to look bad.
It is just a poor starting point for the Mind of a GM to work from.
How do I beat 31 other teams should be the starting point of a GM's mind. IMO
I also fear that Mike applies the "mathematical issue" to players on his Roster. Just because a Starter is in the bottom half of other starters in the NFL does not mean that starter is bad. Just mathematically challenged.
Conclusion - Mike can stick with that starter and not upgrade.
