How The Cleveland Browns Rebuilt From 0-16 To The NFL’s MOST EXCITING TEAM

So since coming back to Cleveland in 99, the Browns were really given nothing to work with at first and they were kind of the laughing stock of the league ever since, finding new embarrassing ways to lose, and they even had refs inventing new rules to make them lose. Everyone of course knows that they've used a new Qb and coach almost every season over the last 2 decades and really it wasn't until 3 years ago for things to start to take a turn. From Johnny Manziel, to Baker Mayfield, to Deshaun Watson, to now Joe Flacco, this has been a wild ride for the Cleveland Browns, and they are now the most fun team to watch in the league thanks to that Flacco Magic!

I always love the Baker era cause it jump started what the Browns are today

[@gotdamruskysttv2177]

Agreed! Love baker

[@markjohnson9485]

Thank you for mentioning that dirty hit on Nick Chubb by Minka Fitzpatrick it was the truth, and no one wanted to admit it. Thank you for having the courage to do so. I believe Joe Flacco will lead us to a victory over to ravens, I believe he can do it. And I believe we can accomplish it. Go Browns!!!!!

[@treyk4505]

Before Baker we had Myles .. and ward they started it .. We had Chief . Chubb was drafted the same year as baker.. They played a bigger part than Baker to me . Stefanski and Swartz are the reason . Oh and GM … He resigned all players and made a great roster .. I Feel like Baker gets way to much credit for our turn around when everything about our turnout worked besides him .. He was the only miss … But he gets the credit after we tanked to accumulate talent and decided to compete ? I thank him for being there those years but he gets wayyyy too much credit .

[@Wes-jq8zg]

Giving bro 260 m's for sitting the bench is what will ultimately end this happy little run. The gm that drafted all those dudes you mentioned is gone as well and imagine the powerhouse this team would be if baker stayed. Enjoy this cause next year Watsons cap hit is going to kill this team along with the lack of draft picks

[@kayceeyou]

​@@Wes-jq8zgfunny you say that. Most of the really bad Browns teams had a lot of picks...high pick too. Browns are doing fine and it's apparent that it is pissing people off.

[@Wes-jq8zg]

@@kayceeyou I was a huge browns fan till they screwed baker over, and im happy for a few players on that team including Joe flacco but all there best players are 1st and 2nd round talent that are in there primes. They have those guys on extended contracts like myles Garrett and Denzel Ward but all there young guys playing great will have to go else where to paid and they wont have any new talent coming for 3 years and the vets are going to start coming out of there prime in the next few years esp nick chubb who they will need if they wanna have another winning season. I don't see it happening bc of there aweful team management lol

[@StayPuftMarshmellow]

Saying Baker was a miss is truly absurd. Watson can’t beat pitt, can’t stay on the field and has accomplished absolutely nothing. They didn’t have Baker last year and didn’t do crap and Flacco saved their season this year. Absurd treatment and denial that Baker is good. Look what he’s doing in Tampa.

[@Pnk_Rckr]

​@Wes-jq8zg We get our first round pick next year. Not that it will matter much IF we end up in the playoffs again. If we need to, I wouldn't mind trading that pick for a young, top-tier player on a bad team (that's what a lot of good teams can do). It doesn't matter as long as you win and get to the playoffs. Also, this team just showed you can win without Nick Chubb. By no means am I saying that I don't want him on this team, but they went 10-4 without him disproving what you said.

[@DarknessFlameMedia]

Only fools thought getting rid of Baker was a good Idea

[@jonathanmoritz8768]

I know Steelers players (James Harrison in particular) have a history of dirty hits in Browns players (Cribbs, McCoy, and Massaquoi). However, I would consider the Minkah hut on Chubb unlucky. I hate the hit and injury, but Chubb's a guy you have to go low on. Plus, I don't think Minkah intended to take out Chubb, unlike Harrison for so many years.

[@aceiscool11]

Chief was a big factor from the start…

[@spencerpremier]

Ya you right, but now he’s just on a whole nother level

[@Obi1Classic]

[@Modrunnermusic]

Seriously. Only lions and browns fans understand the 0-16 and decades of bad. Now both are 11-5 (detroit is really 12-4, due to ref rigging). Congrats Browns!

[@ShyOne1995]

Honestly, the biggest difference for everything has been Kevin Stefanski. I completely trust this guy as our coach, I think the biggest turnaround for this team was getting him as the head coach. I’m baffled the Browns have made the playoffs twice in my adult life, something members of my family can’t say. This is the most loyal and awesome fanbase in the world, I’m proud to be a part of it! Also, congrats to the Lions and their fans, as a long-suffering fan, I’m always happy to see others just like us succeed.

[@stompingpeak2043]

Right. Stefanski being the guy for multiple years and him being with the gm makes this possible. People will get mad at him for calling a run or pass play or whatever but thats in the moment hate. You step back and you see he has been very good as a whole.

[@HeavyMetal-HardRock]

It all started when modell moved the team to Baltimore! That was devastating and it took us a long time to rebuild. We wasn't the laughing stock of the NFL because of anything of our own doing model started the whole downfall! But now we're back on top again and we don't want no fair weather fans along for the ride. Stay off, just stay off. Stay off the cart. Don't jump on now. It's too late! This goes out to anybody who left the Browns when they're 0 and 16. Don't come on now. You're not welcome. The hatred for the Baltimore Ravens is so much more than the Steelers. At one point the Pittsburgh Steelers fans actually were upset with us and they actually one of the rival to continue. They even sent fax messages to the NFL which jammed NFL's fax machine. The Baltimore colts fans knew how bad it was to lose a team and how bad that hurt the city in the fans and the economy of Baltimore. So they should have been the last city to steal our team. They should have rejected it. They should have told their mayor, their governor and their state that they did not want the Browns. But no, they accepted them with open arms that hurt more than any Steeler could have ever hurt the Browns. The Cleveland Browns fans have an absolutely hatred for the Baltimore Ravens! It goes way beyond sports. It gets personal.!

[@QUANTRELLBISHOP]

Stefanski and ab are horrible. stefanski refuses to build his offense to Watson's strengths. Watson's horrible now, and ab decided to go with a rookie QB as a back up to an injury prone Watson, flacco saved the season and Swartz and Callahan are the reason we are winning stefanski has blown games with his horrendous play calling and has no feel for the game, I'm having stefanski and ab fired after this season side note flacco runs little Kevin's offense better then Watson browns should try to trade Watson since Kevin won't tailor the offense to Watson's strengths or just keep trying to fit a square into a round hike carry on

[@robot-hive2022]

I like the vid but I will disagree with one crucial point. Jerome Ford is a garbage back! Watch his tape, he runs into the back of his own offensive lineman every other play, he can only run through holes on sweep plays, he thinks he is being patient but in reality he is just waiting for defenders to get off blocks to tackle him. I wish KS would get off his high horse, stop being loyal and go with what works better for the team. Jerome Ford is, at best a 3rd option on a bad team..

[@Bilski86]

It was 20+ years of pain but I NEVER wavered.

[@MeneerHerculePoirot]

Nick Chubb "showed glimses of his talent early on." Nothing like damning a guy with faint praise. Chubb was 4 yeards short of 1000 in his rookie season. Most for a rookie since Jim Brown. Has the team record with a 92 yard TD run. He can still have a HOFcareer in coming back from this heartwrenching lastest injury. 5.3 career ypc. JB32 averaged 5.2. He was definitely the main bearing that kept this machine moving.

I’m a Patriots fan but I remember that season quite well, which I actually thought the Browns would find a way to make it in especially at 7-4 until everything fell off for them. I don’t think anyone really talks about this but that late season collapse really sparked a downward spiral between 2015 to 2017, no different than how the Lions have been on a big rise from when they started 1-6 in 2022 and how strong they finished that season.
