The Cleveland Browns are 'America's Team' for the 2019 season

The Cleveland Browns are America's team this year, as first coined by me... I stole that take from Hawkins... but the Cleveland Browns are America's team this year.

Hot Take Football Hot

The 2019 Browns were a disaster, finishing 6-10 and missing the playoffs, quickly losing their 'America's Team' luster.

Matthew Stafford basically has no backup because he never goes out of games

As far as I'm concerned, Matt Stafford just never has a backup quarterback. Maybe Dan Orlovsky. But he never goes out. No, even when Matt Stafford has an elbow injury, he'll limp off the field. He just registers pain as being like, oh, I can't walk.

Opinion Football Mild

Stafford was historically durable during his Detroit tenure, though he did eventually miss the end of the 2019 season due to back injuries shortly after this take.

Combining Paxton Lynch and Geno Smith would only equal a quarter of Russell Wilson's talent

If you combined Paxton Lynch and Geno Smith's powers, they would be like one quarter of Russell Wilson.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

Paxton Lynch never panned out, while Geno Smith eventually had a career resurgence years later, making this somewhat harsh in retrospect, though Geno was a journeyman in 2019.
