It’s good to be right. Trading the rights for Carson Wentz meant the drafting of Baker Mayfield

The Cleveland Browns were awful in 2015 under head coach Mike Pettine. After a 2-3-0 start, the club reeled off seven straight losses and finished 3-13-0.

36-year old Josh McCown was the starting quarterback in a long line of starting QB’s for the Browns. At season’s end, Pettine was fired just like every other head coach who had attempted to right the ship since 1999 called “the New Browns.”

In Pettine’s stead was a supposedly offensive guru. A quarterback whisperer - Hue Jackson. Whisked away from their division foe the Cincinnati Bengals. A former quarterback who could not only groom a young signalcaller, but had the knack to find the right one.
