I’ve got to get this off my chest right away: our “42 quarterbacks” discourse has been absolutely derailed by Dave and Mark, who spent the entire morning giving me grief about Shedeur Sanders. According to them, Shedeur’s the problem—never mind the fact that their own team is a tire fire. Somehow Jaden Daniels gets a full pardon for Washington’s awful season, but Shedeur? No grace at all. Convenient.
Anyway, back to reality.
People forget what the NFL looked like when the Browns returned. You had the Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers—literal expansion teams—making conference championship games in year two. And what did the league decide after that? “Yeah… that’s not happening again.” The next wave of expansion teams wasn’t going to be allowed that kind of success.
So when the Browns came back, we didn’t get real players. We got a roster built out of thin air and late-night NAIA depth charts. Our offensive line looked like a wish list written in crayon. Tim Couch basically spent his early career being sacrificed behind a line held together with gum and grocery store twine. If that man had been drafted by any other team, we’re talking about a really good quarterback—maybe great. Instead, he got buried behind a line that might as well have been drawn in chalk.
And that’s the root of it: the whole league has been against us from day one. Anyone who’s watched this team long enough knows it. The Browns didn’t just return—they were set up to struggle. And we’ve been paying for those decisions ever since.
