The Cleveland Browns are one of the oldest football franchises playing today, circa 1946. The Browns haven't had much to cheer about in 2008 and 09' isn't much better.
Looking at the cast of players in Cleveland, it doesn't seem like there's much for them to be too excited about either.
There was Brady Quinn, a young quarterback with a promising future, and Eric Mangini, who came over as the team's new head coach after being dismissed from New York.
After a 34-20 loss against the Vikings in week 1, things didn't look too much better for the Browns. Granted, the Vikings are a tough team with high expectations this season, but after a week 2 loss at Denver, the Browns look nearly as hopeless as they did in 2008.
The Cleveland Browns lost by 14 points to the Minnesota Vikings in their first game. While the Vikings are a team that may very well with the NFC north, the Browns were still hoping for a better outcome. The team's second game at Denver against the Broncos didn't fare much better.
Donte Stallworth would have provide Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson a target, Stallworth is suspended by the NFL for a DUI vehicular manslaughter incident in the off-season.
So maybe Denver really does have a good defense. Is it possible?
Let's put things into perspective for a second. During their last 8 games, the team has only scored a grand total of one touchdown. Even the Detroit Lions scored a touchdown each game last year. There's simply nothing going on in Cleveland, and this has to be the last team I'd want to be a fan of as far as future prospects go. - 29967
