I feel ya, but the counter to that is teams like the 76ers, Royals and Astros. After years of tanking and losing, suddenly they are (were) on top, with many of the same players that were there through all the losing. There's a lot of trial and error along the way and a lot of players will be tested. I'm not saying it will work, but this looks to be what Cleveland is doing. That's why they hired baseball guys for the FO.
Yeah the Browns were close to a few W's this year, yet they still lose. I don't think 1-27 happens by accident. You may not think Hue is a genius (he's not), but he's not this inept, either. They kept him for a reason. Tanking was the plan.
Same here brother. Same here.
I’d say there’s a difference in baseball and basketball where teams draft players and can adjust rosters to stay higher. The browns play their draft picks. Take kizer, they drafted him and played him up until the first signs of struggling. Instead of standing behind him, they did what the browns always do and called up the next guy.
Different coach, different qbs, same problems. Honestly, hue may be the best coach in the world. Who knows when they have the same problems regardless of who is coaching.
