Small consolation, but other teams and fans have their trials. Since the end of the season, if you go in the WAS or MIA threads, similar sentiments are expressed that they are the biggest laughing stock. If it takes a little longer, it will be worth it if that leads to finding the right HC. CLE has a core of talent that could the foundation for a good team... Pro Bowl LT, WR, CB (SS T.J. Ward an alternate), the cap room to be a player in free agency, two first round picks, a chance to land a QB. PIT and BAL coming off a down season within the division. If CLE is the factory of sadness, STL was the factory of horror when they went 15-65 (.1875) in a five year period prior to Fisher's arrival. I was just reading that in the Millen era, they were about 31-81 (.277) in seven seasons, the third worst stretch in league history (and STL far worse "winning" percentage in the shorter half decade span).
* When was the last time CLE had a good QB, and the last time they went to the playoffs (was it when Schottenheimer was the HC, in the dog pound days)?
