Maybe. But it took 3 seasons for Marvin to get over that hump of not winning, too.

I look at the Browns and I see the 2003 Bengals - a feel good story that exceeded expectations and looked like an actual NFL franchise for the first time in forever with a first round pick ready for his first full season as a starter and star WRs to complement him. It took time for the Bengals to get there, we'll see if the same is true for the Browns.

TBH I think how the schedule shakes out will have an impact too. A young team starting 2-0 versus a young team starting 0-2 probably head down  different paths.
