I think Mayfield is the real deal, but they still had the 30th ranked defense and only won one game against a team with a winning record.
They swept the Bengals, were about 10 yards from a field goal attempt to sweep the Ravens, and approximately 18 missed field goals from splitting with the Steelers. I don't think it's a stretch to think they win at least 4 of their 6 division games for the foreseeable future. They absolutely need to improve on defense, though. If they do, some of those needed wins against winning teams will come.
That said, it is still the Browns. People have every right to be skeptical, just like most are with the Bengals.
