Are Browns Better Than Bengals?

[*psychdoctor*]

Each year, after the draft, the Browns seem to improve their team at least on paper.  But we are talking about a franchise that has missed on several draft picks over the years, especially at the QB position.  The Browns are are something like 4-49 since 2014 and are 1-31 under their HC.  

Bengals hold a 7 game winning streak since 2014.  The Bengals have been a perennial playoff team but has performed poorly in the playoffs. Nevertheless, last year the team somehow managed to go 7-9 with a horrendous offensive line (and offensive line coach).  A 7-9 record was considered a disappointing  season by Cincinnati Bengals standards, but a similar season record by Cleveland Browns would be considered a breath-taking turnaround.  Bengals are the better team and it is not even close.
