This team is honestly going in the right direction, but it will most likely be another season before they are in the playoffs. With more high picks next season and cap space, they will fill in the holes they have this year with those assets and become a playoff team. The OLine and DLine got major upgrades and a team should be built from those two areas first and for the most part that is done. LBs are pretty much set, but around the board we are still very young, but there are a lot of analysts that say the Browns could vastly improved their record and get 5-7 wins.
I honestly say this season, everyone roots against the Texans since we own there first two picks in the draft. If they don't make the playoffs, we could have two 15ish picks in the 1st and 2nd rounds. So even if they are facing the Steelers, Ravens or Bengals we root against the Texans since them losing is our gain. I think we will see a lot more life on both sides of the ball and with whoever starts at QB, with the line we have, we should at least have decent numbers from our QB
I daydream about this team being relevant quite often. About the only reference I have in mind is via old NFL Films yearbooks and old VHS broadcasts people have posted on youtube.
I relish the idea of talking up playoff seeding, if we can get home field and all that stuff.
More often than not it feels like the Browns get punked early by the Steelers or Ravens, then we're out of it before we can even begin to even think about such things. We get subjected to talking heads on various sports talk stations talking about the draft, how "We fucked up by not drafting "player x"", and the team just getting trashed in general by the media locally, nationally.
I just want different. I want some positivity and I kinda want it to be long term you know? With a league supposedly so full of parity, it'd be nice to be unsure what the hell could happen for once instead of just bracing for the worse.
