As I said earlier, if they pick up a serviceable starter in FA or the draft, they could make some noise. Look at the names at QB in FA. A LOT of serviceable stop gaps to potential solid starters out there. Some plausible trades too. The Ravens are beginning to fade.....and we're currently re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. It could happen sooner than a lot of people think.
I also said in another reply to Nicoma that we might catch lightning in a bottle......and that I'm hoping Katie makes the necessary adjustments to move into modern era competition. Time will tell on that, but I'm convinced Son of Paul will most certainly have to luck into a SB; regardless of coach(es).
Agree with this.

If they're tired of screwing up drafting them, they could sign a known commodity like Cousins, eliminate the guess work and spend the picks elsewhere. They already have the pieces in place in the trenches. We have jack squat on the OL, and are apparently intensely focused on keeping it's weakest link here for a long time.
Cleveland mgmt has been awful forever, but they change. Eventually there's potential for it to work one day. The Bengal model has never worked in achieving the main goal of an NFL team. Even when they have good teams, they self-sabotage and stagnate every time. Instead of changing, they regress and double down on failure as they are doing at this very moment.
There's a low ceiling on what a Mike Brown-owned team can accomplish. There isn't one on Cleveland's ownership. They keep changing and altering themselves. By that alone, they have a better shot than the Bengals at figuring it out.
If the Browns got Cousins or Keenum i could see them making some noise. But who knows they might just keep changing
and bench one of them when they have a bad game lol
Going to have to see them stick with a QB for a bit. They never have even when one played well.

No doubt. The Browns are the Clowns for this very reason.
Marv sucks but atleast he can get his team into the Playoffs and hasn't went into a stretch near as bad as Hue in his career.

The Jaguars were 3-13 last year and they played the invincible Patriots in the AFC championship game this year. Hope springs eternal with teams that actually do things. Just saying.
I definately agree with this but moving on from PA was a HUGE move for us even if we didn't fire him.
Getting Pollack so quick was also a very non-Bengal like move...
