  1. The Browns offensive line Sucks, and injuries and Depth killed them alot..however Kevin had a lot of decision making errors and It is best for him to part ways, chill and regroup and get a fresh start.

  2. He is a great play caller though won’t lie 💯 ! I thought he and Shadeur had some good things working in their favor ! But the offense around Shadeur is young and inexperienced ! And devoid of talent ! I’m a rams fan though so I’m good with our situation 🤘🏽💙💛 !

  3. Cam Newton looks like Chicken George from Roots. Ryan Clark looks like a circus ringleader who cheats on his wife. Dan and Stephen A. look like undertakers. The only one dressed appropriately is the lady. Bunch of clowns.

    Stefanski can go work at a DII college.
    🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. Although I believe that Stefanski is worthy of a new head coaching job, I believe that he has red flags — he works when he wants to. Since he had 13 QBs — many of whom he didn't want, he sabotaged their seasons because he knew that he could get fired and land somehwere else.

    How do I conclude that? Do you know how hard it is to win in Cleveland? Yes. Because he "won in Cleveland" after no one else did, he has a more attractive resume. After all, since Cleveland is a dump (unlike "our team"), he'll do wonders.

    Just get him his QB and make everything Stefanski-friendly, and then he'll work when he wants to.

  5. Stephen A had the best take along with Cam. Kevin Stefansky can't develop quarterbacks based on his 6 years at Cleveland. Going to the playoffs means little really cause we see this year 9 and 8 loss teams getting into the playoffs. How is Stefansky going to be a head coach when he has proven that he cant develop quarterbacks? Cleveland was tired of being the QB graveyard.

  6. The 13 quarterbacks thing….guys get hurt! These players weren’t benched, they got injured. Flip your script on KS and just imagine trying to succeed with the revolving door at the QB position. Constantly trying to prepare the next guy to play at nfl starting quarterback level.

    I do think the Browns need a fresh start at HC, but I believe the dysfunction of the offense isn’t entirely his fault. Please remember, he got one of the coach of the year awards BECAUSE OF THE FACT he was able to win through the attrition at the QB position. What, was it 5 QBs that season?

    It’s a tough call to fire him, but I think it’s the right one.

    Stevie Wonder could see that Dillon Gabriel is not a starting QB…and for some reason Sheduer wasn’t getting reps when he should’ve been in my honest opinion.

  7. WOW 1! and you kept the lousy GM who handicapped the franchise for multiple. years for the Watson trade/ ? he would have been the first person to go. Stefnaski was the only thing keeping the Browns relevant. you keep him with inferior QB's visa the draft that the GM selects and Watson is sucking your cap dry.

  8. Some of these guys are saying 2x Coach of the year like hes a 2x Super Bowl Champ.

    He won the award by 1 vote over DeMeco Ryans in '23 and then got destroyed by the Texans in the playoffs.

  9. Dan is tripping. SF cost them a lot of games by his terrible game management. He has not even been able to put enough points on board.
