Why not 2012?! All I hear from you is win now, so you're conceding the 2012 season?

Yeah I am talking about the 2013 season when I say next year. Still don't buy into this "free pass" bs if he plays like shit this year.

They should go 0-16 in 2012, then have a great draft, then make the playoffs in 2013.

How annoying are you?

Never did I say they would make the playoffs in '13. But at least they'd have an elite potential QB on the team. You need one of those to win anything of importance in the NFL. We don't have that currently, most likely.

Oh, they'll win now but I don't expect them to make a quantum leap to being a playoff contender until NEXT year.

Now, if some would have it THEIR way, they'd prefer we tank this year, go through the growing pains of ANOTHER losing (lost) season with a ROOKIE QB NEXT year and then potentially be a playoff contender in 2014. I think it happens a year sooner.

You say this as if it is almost set in stone that the Browns will make the playoffs in 2013 lol. Who is to say a better QB coming out of the next draft class won't lead them to the playoffs? Over the past 5 years we have seen a few rookie QBs play in the playoffs.

No, that's a very narrow interpretation of what we are talking about. Thanks.

1979...the 49ers under Bill Walsh and rookie quarterback, Joe Montana go 2-14. The following year the Niners show modest improvement at 6-10. In 1981, San Fran runs out at 13-3, beats Dallas on Dwight Clark's catch, and overwhelms the Bengals in the Super Bowl.

There are plenty of other turn around success stories in the NFL. Pittspuke from 1969 (1-13) to the playoffs in 72...and titles in 74/75. It can be done quickly in Cleveland too.

Lol what?! They're not "winning now" if they're not in the playoffs. Sweet were gonna go through another losing season in '12 with not much high hopes (playoffs at best..not SB contending) in '13.

Yes id rather suck really bad this year as opposed to sucking a little bit..to get a franchise QB in the next draft..absolutely

Browns signed Hughes, Benjamin & Miller today.

No shocker thar Heckert values D-Line and corners so much. Need constant depth/rotation. Hopefully Winn & Hughes can step up if Taylor's done for the year.
