You have demonstrated over and over again that you can't let go of stuff.
That's not saying "they just did," that's saying "there's hundreds of transactions, much of done were done out of necessity for who each season finished, and it was a domino effect."
An example with the Bengals is when Palmer was injured in 2010, we finished 4-12, and he threatened to retire if he wasn't traded. We didn't give in, drafted Dalton as his replacement, and Dalton led us to four straight playoff appearances, except it's even more complicated and detailed than that because there were also other moves in those offseasons, not to mention draft picks from how they finished the season, so I'm not going to detail 40 years of Browns history because it's pointless.
I'm done with this thread, though, because it's stupid at this point and doesn't really matter.
Your example is crap, because it actually serves to prove the case virtually everyone else here has been arguing. Carson left, which led to Andy coming, and that was just one of the events that 'shaped' your franchise. Well, in this case, the entire team left (because that was the effect of the 'technicality' of a settlement that was made) and the NFL eventually replaced them en masse, which shaped the franchise. Same thing, larger scale. Boom.
