The trades for the defensive linemen were better than anything available in the draft. The future is NOW. Phil Savage is doing a great job of rebuilding this team in only 3-years. Finally Cleveland will be one of the elite teams in the NFL again. The 1st barrier they need to get past it to beat the Steelers and tie up the all time record. After that I want to see them pound Pittsburg into the ground for the next 10-years. That will put the all time record back the way it used to be.

Then NFL has been praying that the Clowns would finally bounce back. They have done their best to make it happen from the beginning with the extra draft picks, allowing the team to keep its name and history (which Baltimore did not get to do), giving them a team after a few year hiatus (which did not happen in St. Louis, Baltimore etc) only to watch the Clowns flush all of their advantages down the toilet. It took the Clowns stealing a Baltimore personnel man to finally have some success. And if you would guess that I am a Ravens fan you would be right. The Clowns stink, their city is a joke, and sooner or later the rest of the team will develop meticillin resistant staph from being next to a polluted lake. I'll stop hating on the team when Tony Grossi stops keeping Art Modell, one of the stalwarts of the NFL responsible for its explosive growth, out of the Hall of Fame. He sure belongs in there before Paul (just build another museum) TagliBUM who will be remembered for setting us up for the labor strife that will be coming to a theater near you in the next couple of years. best part of the deal will be watching the Clowns fall flat on their face.

Being a life long Browns fan, I'm obviously biased, but also the first to admit that until it's won on the field, nothing is deserved. With that being said, gotta love the nervousness of the Stillers "nation" coming though in the comments. A team that has done nothing to go forward in the offseason, means your going backward in this league. 100 mil $ drama queen big ben "wants a big receiver", the o-line is "rebuilding", your looking for a "franchise back" in the draft, and Polumalu (whatever) has to cut his hair.. The Browns, who also won 10 games last year, held on to all key personal, and addressed their key areas of weakness (d-line). Did they take a risk? sure what team doesnt with every move made free agency or draft? Is someone better than Corey Williams or Shaun Rogers going to be available at 56 & 87? They both have allot of years ahead of them and warrant the picks. The Browns also protected themselves, in terms of QB play, by holding onto both Anderson and Quinn. The Jets and 49'rs that EVERYONE LOVES to talk about, did not do this, which is why they had a crap season. Lets just see what happens this year... big fat smile ;-).

The Niners had super-high expectations and the Jets made the playoffs because of a really easy schedule. Also, Phil Savage did a bunch of fancy hand-waving with free agent acquisitions to distract from the fact they have no draft choices. This Browns team is a HUGE red flag to me.

People are going to watch them whether they win, lose, or just totally trainwreck a game. Let's also take into consideration how water-downed it is to actually play a prime-time or a national game. Sunday Night, Monday Night, earlier Thursday night games. Way too many options. This isn't Frank, Don & Howard only on Monday Nights. Every team almost has to have a prime-time game. Even the Cardinals. Let’s not forget, no matter how bad the Browns are, they are actually a national draw. People are going to watch them whether they win, lose, or just totally trainwreck a game.

And the steelers were without Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes for 3 games apiece and their starting LT for 4 games. It also didn't help the steeler offense to play on a field made of oatmeal. The bottom line is Cleveland's defense is still suspect and the offense is not as great as everyone thinks. Derek Anderson threw a ton of INTs. How will he do with big expectations and with Brady Quinn still looking over his shoulder? Cleveland’s suppoosedly unstoppable offense scored just 9 points more than the Steelers last season.

They made a lot of improvement on both lines, which is pretty much the key to being consistently competitive. 8 or 9 wins are a reasonable expectations. 10 or 11 means they have progressed and can stay healthy, which is no guarantee.

Their games are exciting to watch for mass markets because they're full of deep bombs, touchdowns, interceptions, long runs, and QB scrambles. And that is a result of both the Browns' occassionally explosive offense, as well as their terrible defense (and their gun-slinging QB). So even when the Browns lose on a 30 yard rothlisberger scramble, it makes good tv for non-fans. If anything, its a curse for Browns fans to have to listen to the national pinheads ripping us apart for flaws we're already perfectly aware of.
