Whether it pays off or not is the question, but it's not business as usual there, so who knows. If they still had Sashi as their GM and Hue as their HC and the 2019 version of Jake Delhomme at QB I'd be more confident they were going 2-14 again.
Those changes the Browns made came about because while we were making the playoffs 6 out of 7 years with two divisional championships they were failing at a historically bad level. Yes we all know the Bengals haven't won a playoff game in decades but let's not pretend that they didn't have a pretty good run of success in there either even without the payoff. It's pretty easy to say "look at all the improving we're doing" when you were 0-16 two seasons ago.
I promise you that Browns and the organization as a whole are excited this year is simply for the prospect of finishing with a winning record for the first time in more than a decade. The thought of winning a playoff game is but a blip in the back of their minds at this point.
