Have to say I agree with bfritz on this one. Yes they (Ravens) are legally and technically a brand new franchise while the Browns are a continuation years later of the original Browns squad.
BUT
Yeah that entire franchise, it's players, coaches, and other personnel all went and formed the Baltimore Ravens so the players that decades of football decisions built up to became the Ravens team so yeah there's certainly an actual connection even if there isn't a legal connection between the Ravens and the original Browns team that they spawned from.
If he had expressed it that way I doubt that anyone would have had a problem with it. But he didn't. He specifically argued that the 'connection' you speak of gives the Ravens an exclusive claim to the old Browns' history. Do you agree with that too?
