That is why it's called a prediction. You are taking what you saw in the past and using it to project what will happen in the future.
Remember, the 2018 MVP thew 0 TDS and 1 INT for a rating of 76.4 in 2017. I recall our pre-season QB rankings where some guy on here had Mahommes ranked 32nd behind guys like Nathan Peterman and Josh McCown because he's a complete unknown. Some people just don't get the idea of predicting something, or making an educated guess.
But again, I'll point out that my main reason I'm not so sure the Browns will be bad in 2019 comes from me just getting a bit tired of realizing a lot of our team's optimism comes from the notion that the other 3 teams in the division are going to either take big steps backwards, or just never ever ever get any better.
We all knew Manziel and Weeden would stink, but Mayfield...he just doesn't have that insta-stink those guys had. Then again, I recall us sitting around waiting for Pig Ben to morph into Bubbie Brister, too. Maybe we are right this time?
