What's a bandwagon? 

We have more like a yard cart

Seems a good place to drop in. I’m born and raised a Skins fan. My dad was raised on the Browns and moved to DC and became a Skins fan over time. The Browns move did him in and he never picked up the new expansion team. 

I hate Snyder and Bruce Allen. They make it hard to be a fan. RG3 and McCloughan situations have killed me. I’m unlikely to truly lose my Skins fandom but I’m in the market for another team to root for and figure the Browns are a natural fit. I love the NFL draft and have been intrigued with the Browns the last few years (failures then moneyball) and have rooted for a turn around. I’ve found myself more and more reading up on Browns mock drafts and off season strategies and figure why not try it out. 

One of my close buddies made the move back in 2015. He also had family ties to the Browns and he’s now a bigger Browns fan than he ever was Skins fan. I’m not striving for that, but having an AFC team to follow and cheer on will be fun. And i hate the Steelers (and Penguins) so there’s that  

Please, not another bandwagon FRAK fan. As soon as the Browns start winning, you will leave.

welcome!  i'm almost the opposite of you; born and raised in cleveland.  have been disgusted with the "new browns", especially these recent years.  At least things can't get any worse, right?  lived near D.C. for a while and tried rooting for the Redskins, but I just couldn't stay away from the Browns.  Monday mornings at work were pretty fun, spent them commiserating with Redskins fans on how bad our teams were doing.  I was pretty excited when the Redskins signed Colt McCoy, I thought he was better than Weeden and deserved to start but was a victim of a regime change.  Maybe if Cousins leaves he will get a shot?  Funny how with both teams, fans complain about the crappy owners.  Every Skins fan seems to despise Snyder, and if you stick around here you'll see just how we feel about Haslam.  Maybe someday, we'll see a Browns/Redskins Super Bowl.

Gipper, I could never fully give up the Skins for the reasons you mentioned. But I’ve never tried following another team closely, and with the Browns in the AFC and the state of both teams being that a super bowl matchup is unlikely anytime soon, I think having to root for the Skins > Browns once every 4 years is a good situation. 

As I have said elsewhere....I usually root for the team/teams that have not been there and won before.   Its why I preferred Jags over Pats, and why I was really good with either Philly or the Vikings.  So for this SB  ...I will go for Philly.

As much as I would welcome people to be fans of the Browns....I do not believe you should abandon the team you grew up rooting for.   I mean, if you do that, then you risk the chance of being named Glommie Jr.

If a team's fan abandoned them because their owners/GMs/coaches were dipsticks...then the Browns would have no fans.  Yet, we are still legion...despite everything.

Other teams may have the ability to take that salary, but nobody's in the same zipcode as Cleveland.

Do you think Smith is that good?

He doesn't have to be 'all world' good.  He has to be our 'veteran' QB....and good enough to run the offense in a competent way for a year  (+/-).

@orion said:

What if Alex Smith does NOT become a Brown?

It makes too much sense.

Dorsey has the picks to give KC something in return. Smith for a season while the new guy learns the ropes. 

@texasag1969 said:

And since Ghoolie claims to be a black homo, that was not an insult, but a compliment.

I never claimed to be a black homo. Homos calim I am a black homo. I just identify as a homo. Can't we all just get along?

Barf. It takes all kinds here....  

It will take Fort Knox, and Cousins isn't going anywhere (where) he can't be the Numero Uno for a long time. Don't think Denver has the cap room. Smith or bust. The Eagles pick we have in the second round should be plenty to get it done. 

If we manage to land Cousins he will be the FQB. We would end up drafting a QB to develop long term in the 3/4 round. 

@jcam222 said:

QB room will be Smith / Mayfield / Kizer. Book it Danno . He only exception is if we can get Cousins to accept Fort Knox. 

EXACTLY how I want to see that room! Of course, that's today & I reserve the right to change my mind multiple times in the days, weeks, & months ahead.

Anyone who wants a fight can come to get their butt kicked in Memphis. You don't challenge someone to a fight and then demand that they buy a plane ticket to come meet you.

Hey Klitchsko, I will kicks your asss. I dare you to buy  place ticket and meet me at the next Browns game. If you don't show up, it means you chickened out.

Fukcking homos. You idiots would ll run as soon as I answered my doorbell.

Damn right I would.

Black homosexuals who want to do dirty things to my doo-doo hole scare me!

While Ghoolie won't waste his time meeting you for a fight, but if you are serious about "getting homo", he's probably warming up his car as we speak.

I am totally honored. If alex joins the squad I will totally get homo with you but like bros. Its not wrong If I wear a dogpound mask and have a huge browns foam finger...No one will look down on us for being ourselves

Welcome to our nuthouse.

The addition of Alex Smith would be a HUGE positive here in Browns' country, but we'll just have to wait & see.
