I feel the same way about Cleveland as I did about Oakland in 2016

    I wasn't buying the hype then, I ain't buying the hype now. The media is crowning these guys way, way, waaaaaaaaaay too prematurely.

    It's like they can do no wrong now. Almost like the media is penciling them in for the next model franchise.

    Only one year after going 0-16.:rolleyes:

    PFT calls their HC vacancy the "most attractive job opening of the past decade, if not longer". They used to call them the Factory of Sadness.

    No bumps in the road eh? Smooth sailing from here on out eh?

    We'll see.

    Way waaaaaay too early for that kind of talk IMO.

    How would you know what the media is saying about a team other than the jets with your work schedule?

    Gruden good, Cleveland bad. Leo fat, Robby elite. Giants best team in football. Tebow better than Kap. Skip Bayless couldn't come up with worse takes if he tried.

    Dorsey is the bestest GM in the whoooooooooooole land!!!

    Just put a 'and they lived happily ever after' after the drafting of Mayfield.

    No bumps in the road, no sophomore slump for Mayfield no no no it'll be smooth sailing from here on out yes sir! Just like a real life fairy tale.

    This is actually worse than the Oakland hype from 2016 at least that team won12 games and made the playoffs when the media hyped them up as the next great team.

    Cleveland won 7 games the media is already penciling them in for a decade run of success.

    Ooookay we'll see about that.

    The last time WarriorRB28 compared a team to the 2016 Raiders was in December 2017. I know who's getting my vote for 2019 Least Knowledgeable Poster.

    He's either clueless or trolling.

    I don't care.

    The Browns haven't even come close to winning anything yet and I'm already sick of hearing about how good they'll be thanks to the media.

    The Jets job is every bit as attractive. It'll come down to making the right HC hire for both teams.

    They almost doubled our win total in 2018. Kicked our ass in 30mins flat after us being spotted 14pts. Give the devil his due. Right now, the Browns are in better shape and a more desireable coaching destination than the Jets. I'm not saying that can't change, but for the moment, the Browns are better than the Jets. You are what your record says you are..

    And the Jets won five more games than they did in 2017. So what?

    I see a lot of similarities between both jobs. Lots.

    I read the report about Josh McDaniels enthusiastically wanting the Cleveland HC job I think it'd be interesting if he gets that job and Adam Gase gets the job here which QB, which team does better in the long run.

    Lotsa similarities between both jobs IMO. If McDaniels ends up there, Gase here they'll be like identical twins almost.

    Maybe you should watch some football.

    I know, up early, job, pay bills blahblahblah.

    Watch some football and you won't have to listen to the media.

    I'll be watching today and the early game tomorrow. I don't know how much I'll be able to watch of the late game tomorrow before I have to go to bed. A few minutes of the first quarter more than likely.

    For WC weekend

    GO COLTS!!!!!!!

    GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!

    I personally never let the fact that I don’t have time to actually experience something deter me from letting the world know what my opinion of it is.
