NFL: Which team will go worst to first in 2014?
No. 7: Cleveland Browns
In order to give you a break from the over saturation that the media is forcing upon us all, I’m going to attempt to give my input here without mentioning a certain rookie QB. While I think the AFC North is a winnable division the Browns aren’t likely to make it happen this year. The loss of Josh Gordon was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back here. Cleveland simply doesn’t have enough playmakers on offense to be a big time threat.
The best chance for Cleveland would be to start Brian Hoyer, limit turnovers, and for their defense to play great football. If that happens then the Browns can pound the football on offense and will give themselves a chance. If they start a rookie at QB, turn the ball over too much, and the defense gets tired……things could get ugly.
