Yes well, Cleveland built a team that was Superbowl bound. Years of development and consistent improvement were about to take Cleveland’s team to the Superbowl.
But the team went to Baltimore instead.
That’s just plain untrue. The team that came to Baltimore was terrible.They were 15-31-1 in their first three seasons.The drafts that took place after the move, the trades for McCrary and Siragusa and the hiring of Billick as coach made the team go from pathetic to SB champs in five years. But there were virtually no old Browns on the SB roster. I think Stover may have been the only one.
