<![CDATA[Being a Browns fan, its in the blood.]]>Iam a long time Browns fan, going back to the late 70's. There has been many good seasons, and the best years were during the late 80's going to the AFC Championship game 3 times in 4 years, and they were all against the Denver Broncos. Each one of those losses were crushing because we were at the brink of reaching the Super Bowl. But we never made it. Then the 90's began, and that's when things began to really sink low. We had a future great coach in our hands and the ownership didn't know it. Coach Bill Belicheck was ours and the wins just didn't happen for us.

Then the big news that the beloved Browns were no longer going to reside in Cleveland. The ownership was packing up and moving to Baltimore. How low can it get for Browns fans at this point.?

Fortunetly, the NFL made an agreement that the Browns will return with a new stadium, and a brand new team. All historical records, team colors and name will return as well. Well, its was high hopes for all Browns fans at that point. Then the new season began, a rookie QB, Tim Couch, was expected to bring wins and future records , but sadly those never happened. And this team hasn't had a true winning season since the team returned. One season back in 2002, we made it to the playoffs, but since then, theres been only heart ache year after year. Head coaches came through and left as quick as the seasons changed. Qb's, cant even think about the tragedy of that position. Too many to even remember. If there is an NFL record for starting QB's for a team , we own it.

But as a Browns fan, me along with thousands of fellow Browns fan keep having high hopes that maybe just maybe we can have a season worth bragging about. Well, that was not even close to reality. The drafting of hot shot QB Johnny Manzeil was exciting until it went way out of control with his ego and off the field life style. So that was just one more bad story in Browns historic history. Then 2016, new attitude of better times ahead, and then the big let down. We went to having the worse record in team history, and the worse in the NFL. Winning just one game that came by luck.

There's not much to bragg about the Browns, being talked bad and horrorible by national sports reporters and the jokes were no fun to hear. But as a Browns fan, we look forward to a new season just ahead, with Myles Garret leading the defense with his destructive playing style. And iam hoping that this defense will be mean and nasty, and put the Dawg Pound back in biting mode.

To sum it all up, being a Browns has its true fans backing them through tough times and there is no tougher times than what this team has dealt with. But those days are going away. Winning seasons start now. Look out NFL, theres a new dawg in the league and the team is ready to bite.

Yes, clearly Defense won all those Super Bowls. It sure as shit wasn't Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers ect.

Oh wait, it was. Someone shpuld get with the times and stop sucking off the '85 Bears. The teams with elite, top flight QB's are the teams winning in the Playoffs and playing in the Super Bowl. That low IQ trailer park Retards think otherwise doesn't change the facts of the modern day NFL.

Turn off the irrelevant '85 Bears and '00 Ravens and watch some modern football, learn how the game has evolved then get back to me. Without great QB play you're not shit in the NFL.

*Awaits said low IQ welfare dwellers to come rushing in, their boyfriends cum dripping off their lips with the typical durrhurr Ghoolie Jr durrr because they are too fucking stupid to comprehend football*

Have at it.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, apparently. I mentioned how all the RECENT Super Bowl winners had a great defense. I also never said that QB wasn't important, so you might want to read my post again, out loud if you must.

QB and Defense is what wins championships, obviously. What I was responding to was your inflated importance of the WR. The problem is that your argument for the importance of receivers is so easily proven wrong because Golden Tate has more Super Bowl rings than Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, AJ Green, Odell Beckham, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffrey, Dez Bryant and Mike Evans combined.

You can continue to argue that WR is more important than a strong defense all you want. With all the evidence of recent Super Bowl history working against you, however, every post will boil down to hurling poorly constructed, grade school level insults at strangers on the internet.

Congrats.

This simp thinks WR is more important than defense? Must not pay attention to the NFL.

Last year the #1 scoring defense and a bunch of 7th round, small school white receivers beat Julio Jones.

The Super Bowl before that was won by a defense that drew comparisons to the 85 bears.

Before that, a defensive play that won the game played between two teams with a strong defense. again, no superstar receivers to be had.

Before that the Seahawks won with defense and 4th round receiver Golden Tate.

In fact, when was the last time a Super Bowl winner didn't have a top ten defense? The saints? And if memory serves, the saints would've lost that game if it weren't for a timely pick six.

Which brings us to the real idiocy of VikingPawg's ghoolie lite, Tardfest: DEFENSE CAN SCORE POINTS TOO!

Seriously, do you huff gasoline before you try to convince people that scoring points is important, but stopping your opponent from scoring points is worthless?

You walk into a pizza shop like:

"why are you morons so worried about putting pizza in the oven? Everyone knows all that matters is taking pizza out of the oven."

All your post is good, but the highlighted part is PRICELESS!!

These morons drafted a TE that can't block, a QB that can't pass and signed a #2 at best WR, while trading for a career backup from Houston. Meanwhile they passed on a QB who is looking damn good for Da Bears for a mentally weak DE who isn't even practicing right now and passed on the Heisman winning Nat'l Champion QB for a fucking kick returner. Oh and their #1 draft pick last year is still being a pussy bitch and sitting around because a football bruised his poor wittle hip.

The QB and WR positions are FAR from fixed. Unfortunately, like every other time since the return there's not a single motherfucker in the building smart enougg to figure out that they even need to fix the QB position.

Or...every motherfucker on here is smart enough to to figure out that they still need to fix the QB position....but that you are not smart enough to recognize that all of us motherfuckers have been saying it a lot longer than you have....with your all of 42 posts...compared to someone that has like 38.000 posts.

nothing harder to watch the last decade and a 1/2 is the Mannings play fucking QB. should be a 10 sec play clock. peyton slowed the game down so much the flash had to start walking backwards.

But he wasn't on the field much. It's nobody's fault...but it still amounts to a blown pick. Just like Courtney Brown. Really a good football player. But never got to play much due to injury.

Have to protest Big Phils' inclusion in this list. He had a couple very good years, but simply was hurt and declined.

The reason I always try to separate "bust" from "bad pick".....

Lots of guys were the right pick, then something happened....usually injury.....

But, looking back and complaining that we blew it, when it was really a knee or back that got blown....just aint right...

Who knew THAT would happen?.....

Thats exactly right.....there is nothing now to indicate that we have fixed anything here....our D and O are both ranked at the very bottom....in almost all categories....

So, to me, it seems ridiculous for Mopar to say they have fixed QB and WR .......

Addressed is a fair word.....but we address a ton of shit annually, with little or no success....

I will say only that those issues are addressed....but far from being proven that they are fixed.

I mean....we addressed the QB issue with the drafting of Quinn/Weeden/Manziel.....but clearly didn't fix them.

We addressed the WR spot by picking up 4 in the same draft....but far from fixed that spot.

While I can understand being upset at Ghoolie since he can be abrasive at times, instead of this true fan you're not a fan rah rah stiff how about debating what he is saying?

The fact of the matter is Ghoolie, much like Nickera have every right to be pissed and to be calling this F.O. out right now. This team had two big needs heading into the offseason, 1: Get a guy who can pass the ball, 2: Get a guy who is great at catching the ball. In both facets this Front Office failed. With 12 Goddamned draft picks and 2 major needs they utterly failed.

The truth is theae dumb motherfuckers are 1-15, and have passed on Carson Wentz, Mitch Trubisky, DeSean Watson and Pat Mahommes. If any, some or all of these QB's pan out as franchise QB's then this front office are the biggest failures in Browns history.
