Bernie Kosar on his relationship with Bill Belichick

Former Browns QB legend Bernie Kosar on former Head Coach Bill Belichick 28 years after being cut from the team.

Bernie was great

[@CrazeyLazeyHazeyDazey]

Kosar was Peyton Manning before Peyton Manning. Unfortunately, other than C Greg Rakoczy (2nd rd) in 1987, the Browns didn’t address their O-line in first 7 rounds of any draft from 1985-1991. If they would’ve given him protection and if Bill would’ve loosened the reigns of the offense like Manning’s coaches did for Peyton, Kosar would be a HOF’er.

What might have been. Bernie is of my all-time favorite NFL QBs. He was an extremely intelligent player and a gladiator on the field.

These days nobody wants to work with anybody who doesn't automatically agree with them so they miss the opportunity to drive motivate and learn from each other.

I met him

Who knows where the Browns could have gone with Bill if Modell hadn't stabbed the Cleveland fans in the back

[@Local_Laydee]

They could have at least Went to the Super Bowl. I feel bad for Browns fans and organization. They had soooo much potential

[@crosstatt7441]

I kind of wonder that, too. I truly believe that if the stadium deal would’ve worked, we may have gotten many of the Patriots and more obviously Ravens greats. However, I don’t guarantee it.

The Browns wouldn’t have won anything. He was rightfully fired. Literally produced the same amount of losing seasons in 5 years as the Browns had in their previous 15 years before they hired him. And Modell and would literally go on to win another superbowl within 5 years of firing him after moving the actual organization to Baltimore!!! Cleveland fans were robbed of a team by Modell but the one who robbed them of a winning team was Bill. You’re seeing right now with just how much his way of doing things has led to the destruction of Mac’s Career the same way it led to the destruction of Kosar’s. Hate to break it to Cleveland fans but the only way they actually could’ve ended up with a Super Bowl is if they’d gotten a hall of fame QB. A coach by themselves. Especially one who was not only also the GM that drafted exactly zero pro bowlers in Cleveland but couldn’t even pick a single starter out of 30 total selections in 4 drafts that lasted beyond their rookie contract (5X Day 1 picks and 8 Day 2 picks) is absolutely not going to be able to just win a freaking super bowl without great players and especially not without a QB.

You just don't wake up one morning and and realize you're in financial trouble model could have done certain things to keep the team in Cleveland if he wanted to

[@bananaman5668]

@@davidviton1065 ok that’s cool. But they’d have a different coach either way.
