Browns have a ton of talent on that team. They are not ***** around. They kind of need to go for it the next couple of years with that Watson contract and lack of draft picks.
No gimmes in the AFC North this year, that's for sure.
What he said below. Best to follow the Steelers and Ravens model and not the Rams. The Bengals are doing that. Yeah going for broke may work but ultimately you're going to have a massive bill to pay whether you win a Super Bowl or not.
If going 'all-in' guaranteed a SB then it would be worth it. But all it takes is one injury, one unlucky bounce, or one bad call to derail a season. If one of those happens during your one or two 'all-in' years, then you're Shit Outta Luck and facing a prolonged rebuild and years of misery for nothing.
I'd rather always be right there with a chance, than swinging for the fences for a season or two because when those 'all-in' teams whiff, it's the steady and consistently good teams that swoop in and take advantage.
