    How can this be the case already, after 1.5 years?? 

    No way can that be judged at this time. And yes, I know what the record is. 

    The Browns are swimming in WR talent  after all of those picks spent on them. I mean, they could probably trade a few because they are unneeded.

    Sashi’s wife probably does the shopping so he doesn’t spend 80 bucks on moldy bread and spoiled milk.

    Sashi probably keeps trading his wifes expensive bread to his neighbors everyday for fresher bread, then trading even more bread till he has an army of mediocre bread.

    NO NO NO NO....you  DONT get it.

    The very nature of building a team in baseball and the nfl is different in just about every way.  it's apples and oranges.  Applying the 'moneyball' principles in baseball and the nfl look

    totally different.

    And no doubt that was the widely regarded opinion when analytics first entered baseball....

    Unless you can explain the exact reasons its different, you're just talking out of your butt.

    Don’t forget SI had a “meet your 2017 World Series champs” issue in 2014. They could do that for us with 2020 but none of you have the patience to see it through that far. 

    So instead, we can just pat ourselves on the back because we win 4 games/year. Sweet!

    And who did they say would be the 2017 WS champs back there in 2014?

    @mark-o said:

    How am I not right?  The team is 0-8.   That's not an improvement over last years 0-8 at the same point. 

    So because they’re 0-8 now they won’t do anything in 2020? You really think that’s a logical case?

    At the present rate of improvement??  No they won't.   1-15 last season has "improved" to 0-8 this season.   But according to you, we're supposed to be patient and trust the guys in the front office who keep missing on star players.  Got it.   So we should be patient and let Kizer keep playing.  Don't draft a QB next year.  He needs at least 3 years to prove that he is an inaccurate passer.

    0-8 is the only analysis that matters.   The team hasn't won a game yet this year.   Something has to be changed.

    Confirming what?  That you're ok with a team that doesn't win?  That we should be happy because we have some nice gay stats that make some feel like the team is better when in the ONLY thing that matters in wins and losses is the team is 0-8

    4 games a year? When will be that good again?

    At the pace the current regime is going, it would take six full seasons to win four games. 😆

    I'm sure they do.    The process worked for them.  That's great in baseball.  Worked for the Cubs last year as well but in case you havent' figured out....that's a different sport.   The guys you're trusting to pick the players and make this process work,  haven't shown a lot of success in picking players to this point but we're supposed to just blindly trust them no matter what?   Bring everyone back....coaches, front office...everyone.  No changes...even if they go 0-16 or 1-15?  Really?  Nothing should change at all?  An unprecedented level of suckage for an organization and that doesn't warrant any changes at all?
