I was deciding where to put this post, but see it fits here.
I'm also not worried about Joe Burrow, or the Bengals, either. The Browns havent been successful, for many reasons, in a very long time. However, its largely from their own ineptitude and bad luck. Sounds stupid to be confident with ineptitude and bad luck lasting for 30yrs, huh? While I fully agree, beating yourself can be easier to solve than consistently being beaten by others. I think the Browns have the right front office, QB, RB, OLine (and oline coach), DE, CBs, etc. If Schwartz is legit, I think the ship can be righted. If the Browns can do well against the Bengals amongst a clusterfuck, I think we become the problem once things are right. Is that next year, the year after, or into the future? Who knows? But I do think the ingredients are there.
