(I'm not using Bungals anymore as a courtesy cause I know how that upsets you guys), have nothing to show for the last 25 years either.
At least the Browns with Heisman trophy, future NFL MVP and HOF'er, Baker "the braker" Mayfield will "brake" this losing culture in Cleveland.
The Bengals on the other hand aren't going to be so fortunate. You fans are correct feeling doom and gloom
.
Here are the Heismam winning QBs from the last three decades. I’ll put an asterisk beside the names of the ones who have gone on to win a Super Bowl:
Ty Detmer (!)
Andre Ware
Geno Torretta
Charlie Ward
Danny Wuerffel
Chris Weinke
Eric Crouch (!)
Carson Palmer
Jason White
Matt Leinart
Troy Smith
Tim Tebow
Sam Bradford
Cam Newton
Robert Griffin III (!)
Johnny Manziel (!)
Jameis Winston
Marcus Mariota
Lamar Jackson
There are a few moderate successes on this list, but most were outright flops. Four of those flops played for the Browns (!) at some point. And, as you can see, no asterisks.
So clearly, winning the Heisman as a QB is not even close to being a good predictor of NFL success.
