What I do know is that we have good coaches and good players.  We just don't have elite coaches or many elite players.

The people who claim that we can win by just replacing coaches and QBs always refuse to give specific names of specific QBs or coaches we could bring in that would fix everything.  They cry for change, but when you look at the reality of the situation they don't really have any more answers than I do.  They refuse to acknowledge that just constantly changing coaches and QBs is not guaranteed to fix anything.

In all fairness we have discussed specific scenarios and specific players and coaches but the argument to not change a thing holds as well against specifics as it does against generalities.

Q:  Should we hire a new HC?
A:  No, changing HCs is what the Browns would do.

Q:  Would you want Jim Harbaugh to come here?
A:  No, he's a nut.  Changing HCs is what the Browns would do.

Q:  Do we need a new QB?
A:  No, Dalton has won 40 games in 4 years and/or Changing QBs is what the Browns would do.

Q:  Would you want Peyton Manning (circa 2012) to come here?
A:  No, Dalton made the playoffs, Peyton is too old. etc..

You get where I'm going with this.  Saying we made the playoffs 4 years in a row is good enough to dismiss the notion of bringing in general HCs or QBs etc and it's also enough to dismiss bringing anyone but Bill Bellyache and Aaron Rogers.  We've gone over specifics, some realistic, some not, and the general consensus around these parts (to my recollection) is that we should stand pat for the most part.  So be it.
