It's All About The QB! Always has been!

This isn't a knock On Stefanski, he wants a ball control offense. We can win with that, so this isn't so much a complaint as it is a observation.
My impression is if we had Jamar Chase, he would catch 40 balls for around 500 yards and 3-4 TD.s. Stefanski frustrated Stefon Diggs in Minnesota, and now OBJ in Cleveland, Both left their teams and looked like different players.
My point is if we are going to bring top level receivers down to Rashard Higgins status, we might as well have guys like Higgins...it's way cheaper. I'd rather expend resources on players who will impact our ball control O and our D.

Except I think the Browns don't have a dynamic get open wr vs man to man. I've read where not even Landry has trouble getting open man to man all too often, depending on the match-up.
Burrow and Chase were a dynamic combination vs top cb's who went in the first round of the NFL draft. Chase make them frustrated.
The Browns MUST have that wr. FA/draft - they will fix it. The addition of Ja'Marr Chase to the Bengals is like the addition of Stephon Diggs to the Bills.
If all you need is a great qb to "raise the level of play"... Chase would not have been a huge addition to their offense.
Stephon Diggs was not happy with the Vikings. He wanted a new start elsewhere. If you look at the depth chart - in 2019 - they had:
Stephon Diggs. by far their best wr.
Adam Thielen - who was undreafted.
Chad Beebe - undrafted
and Olabisi Johnson - who was a 7th round pick.
That makes it really tough for Diggs - amazingly only a fifth round pick - to be successful.
Now, Diggs has Emmanuel Sanders and Beasley to get attention away from him right off the bat, along with Allen
taking off and running.
If the Browns had Chase - Landry and Peoples-Jones (and Schwartz stretching the field?) would make them pay, and Chase would then have a field day. The Browns offense would roll. The running game would open up like crazy.
The Browns went to the playoffs with obj being a big distraction - with no obj (or obj pretending to be "injured" etc... Mahomes and Allen would have been frustrated to the max if they had been with the Browns. Just what I think - we'll see next season.

I hear ya...but if you get into a boat race against someone, you're dead in the water. And apparently it doesn't matter what the temperature is, the Bills, Chiefs, Bengals and probably the Chargers can all boat race ya. (and I've pretty much given up on Higgins)
Stef has had Case Keenum and Baker Mayfield as his QBs. It's pretty important to keep that perspective.
...there is that. Still though, I hope Stef and Berry watched the games this past weekend. That's the competition. Of course it doesn't matter much if ya don't mind having a goal as being the 5th best team in the conference.

You must have heard those rumors too.
Why the hell would Rodgers want to play behind that O line?!

It could be worse -- at least we're not paying 38.6M to Ryan Tannehill's Interception Machine next season..

I hope he doesn't want to play there but it makes sense for him. It's a move that I would consider making if I were him. Pitt is on the same historical status level as green bay and they were good enough to make the playoffs with washed Ben. He could put them in a position to go to a Superbowl or two for his remaining time. I could also see the 49ers making a play for him over jimmy g.
