Are we still not focused on wins and losses
-
We are focused on what we should be, making jimmy as much money as possible while spending as little as possible, hoping we find a few diamonds in the rough along the way.
You sound like his accountant.
Jimmy's spent a lot of money....on the stadium....on the 'fan experience'....but the thing that experienced fans want is some wins. - And he can take those new uniforms and flush 'em!

Here's a bit of good news: The present uniforms will be changed as soon as they can - I think after the '20 season.
That's the only good news I can come up concerning this team at this present time.

Do you have proof of that claim? A handwritten letter from the Haslam's?

All kidding aside, I DID write Jimmuh a letter. (honest to God) I complained about the uniforms and asked him to ditch them just as soon as the league would allow.
Here's pretty much how I finished the letter:
The team is lousy, that’s understandably hard to fix. But the uniforms were fine. Classics
actually. Why on earth did we have to mess with them? To ‘modernize’ them?! Ya know what?
I bet the Yankees don’t swap their pinstripes for polka dots any time soon.
You’ve taken the team to all-time lows in performance and appearance. When the league
allows, please change the uniforms back to what the people of Cleveland fought to preserve.
(I’m not going to finish with a Thank You…because I can’t think of anything to thank you for).

.......I'm not proud that I wrote that. Even though I'm posting it here. I'll probably get bashed. But I sent it because that's part of how I felt. - By the way. I DO like the name BROWNS on the pants leg......but I'm the one that thought that up (and I told him that too). The proof is on another message board. My idea for the lettering down the pants went like this however:
B
R
O
W
N
S
enclosed inside a stripe down the pants. So they modified my idea somewhat.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Dang Orion, you're a regular Thomas Edison there.

Would you like to read it?
Dearest Dutch,
As you might be aware of, the current Browns uniforms are as pathetically inept as the team who wears them on Sundays. My wife is mostly to blame, as I have little to nothing to do with any of my businesses questionable decisions. (At least that's what I tell the FBI, ha ha) Anyway, I promise that the second the NFL says it is kosher to redo our uniforms, we will. We will do our damnest to ensure that the new Browns uniforms do not look like 1980s KMart ripoff uniforms, or that they were designed by a 14 year old boy on Madden.
Your Friend,
Jimmy Haslam

ol... I remember how fuckin' happy you were winning "3 or 4" games a year. Do you?
But that's not the point. They've made us worse. And not just a little worse.
One would think that it'd be virtually impossible to take a 3 to 4 win team and make them THIS much worse. For two years running.

Then make a comment that reflects your point the first time.
What should have been done? Continue to draft in the 5-10 range... one per round every round? Sign more UFAs no one else wants? All chosen by a supposed personnel guru that we know sucks within two years?
Please tell us...

They should just take the best player available on the boards. Making all the little moved is good press but adds zero playmakers on a team that has zero playmakers. The math must be too damned simple for Harvard grads

Ironically I think this coming draft is the one where we take skilled players @ RB, WR and CB without dropping down. Just a hunch-no proof. But if we have a long term building process, that just seems logical. I feel sorry for Kizer since he has no go-to receivers unless JG and Coleman appear out of nowhere. And no real running game threat that anyone takes seriously. Major handicaps for any QB let alone a rookie. Dak had everything to start his 1st year. And he was further along in college instead of being stuck with a crappy coach at ND.

A slight quibble with the title of the post that should more appropriately be: Win and losses. Singular on the win.
