Last game of a crappy season. Playing against the most hated Steelers. The Steelers are still battling for the division title and the #2 seed in the AFC. The Browns are playing for pride. We hope. Didn’t we just do this a few weeks ago? Oh, right. We did. Thanks schedule makers for the Ravens and Steelers holiday four pack to end the season. Appreciate it. The Browns are in the worst losing streak in the NFL for a team not named Tampa Bay. Pittsburgh has the stingiest defense in the league in terms of yards per game, and are second only to San Francisco in fewest points allowed per game. The Browns are ranked 30th in points scored per game. So. This should be fun… The Browns Will Win If… Editor’s note: Similar to the past weeks, we have started things off with Daniel Wolf from the National Football Authority. We appreciate his willingness to contribute to this venture and look forward to working with him in the future. Start us off, Dan-O… Dan: ̷...

As They Explore Their QB Options, Browns Should Look At Joe Webb

Via Dawg Pound Daily  |  December 29, 2011

But at the same time, pretty much everyone is coming to the conclusion, that while Colt McCoy would benefit from better players around him, his upside isn’t high enough to get you to...
