Are the Browns now a threat for us to contend with?

Anyway, I have full confidence in Hue's ability to screw it up.

Lots of teams practice this......but I get your point.

That we did.....but some of that stuff about the defense was just too much man.....sorry.  Also, I'm not giving the Browns all the credit in the world, I'm just pointing out that they are making some moves, and may be on the rise.

Some of the mindsets here are pretty ridiculous.  We want to mock the Browns for going 1-31 but we also want to mock them for making a move to replace a QB who turned the ball over 28 times with one who turned it over 6 times.  I ain't no football genius, but that seems like a decent move to me.  

Are the Browns winning the next SB?  No, but they lost 5 games last year by 3 points and 1 game by 6 points in the 2017 season and maybe, JUST MAYBE, the fact that they were playing a QB who is 6 times more likely (just some quick math on turnovers to dropbacks for each guy) to turn the ball over than the one they just got played a role in that.  

Yeah, I really don't understand how saying "Taylor is an improvement, Landry is a good signing, and with a good draft, they may win some ballgames in a couple years" is suddenly anointing them the next world champion.

Exactly.
