After taking over an 0-16 team, he knew free agents weren't lining up to join the laughing stock Browns....so on the first day of the league year he started trading for talent.  (smart move!)

Then, in the draft, he takes a dynamic, blue collar type QB who's had to prove himself every inch of the way to the top of the draft.  A perfect fit for Cleveland.  Then added a pro bowl CB, a RB that made the rest of the RB's expendable...and a speedy receiver (and much more in that draft).  

And NOW this year trading for probably the best WR in the game, he has given his franchise QB about every offensive weapon any QB could need.  (and he also traded for a pro bowl edge rusher)

AND VIOLA!  You have a for real football team.

The NFL doesn't exactly promote the NFL history prior to Super Bowl. 

If the Browns ever won a Super Bowl, do you think the Commissioner is going to say: "The Browns have now won their 5th NFL Title!"? No, he'll announce to the world that the Browns have just won their first Super Bowl. 
 

Exactly!

When we win it & Roger makes that announcement, I Pray that Jim Brown is there & shoves his cane straight up Roger's ASS!

The "NFL didn't start until the Packers beat Kansas City at the Los Angeles Coliseum in January 1967" nonsense the NFL itself pushes must offend the shit out of the older players still alive that predate the Super Bowl.

“The Browns have never played in a super bowl, so this might actually qualify for the most exciting week in franchise history.” Fuck off.

The dumbass obviously doesn't know history.....and the fact that the Browns have won 8 championships.

He probably doesn't know who won the Civil War.

Vernon for Zeitler

Murray for Ogbah

OBJ for  Peppers and picks

Sheldon Richardson was the best strictly  FA pickup.
