I just predicated the thread based on playing the complete season. It's just customary that we have this thread every year before the season begins.
I certainly can't disagree with you that your concerns are not well founded and logical. Just consider the thread wishful thinking.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I'm going to say 8 - 8 for now. That is based on the unusual OTAs, training camp and no preseason games. It could be 6 - 10 or 10 - 6 .. so will use 8 - 8 for my mean.
The Cleveland Browns - WE KNOW QUARTERBACKS ( Look at how many we've had ... )

I noticed the homerism is less and less this year. It seems like there is more realism and common sense regarding the Browns this year. Nobody is touting how many genuises are in the front office now or how the Browns have the Best coaching staff in.the NFL.

7-9. There are too many obstacles for a team with a new coaching staff.

Last year should have brought us back down to earth ... plus, with a bad QB we it’s tough to think we could be a winning team. Now, if Baker improves that’s a different story
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I see no reason to lower expectation from a year ago.
This team has the potential to win it all. Can they?
I said we could win 11 last year I will go with that and hope for better starting tomorrow.

Nobody is touting how many genuises are in the front office now or how the Browns have the Best coaching staff in.the NFL. Think that has as much to do with the state of the world/country as it does with football reasons. People just have other things on their minds and they've had limited/different access. If we beat Baltimore, I'm sure they'll pop back up.

7-9. There are too many obstacles for a team with a new coaching staff. Become the other teams obstacle.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Petty conflicted. I think half way decent coaching and play calling alone could make a major difference. I really have no idea if those things will be so improved but I think I like the coach. But as all have noted, lack of preparation trumps all in the early going this season. There’s great potential for key stone cops meets Benny hill in the first 8 games.
I really am looking for the exact same thing as I was last year.... significant improvement from the start of the season to the end. 2-6 in the first 8 and I would be very happy with 6-2 in the last 8.
So I’m going with optimistic.
8-8

General consensus seems to be that this team could take a wildcard spot OR Browns out again with a losing record. I think either are realistic due to talent level and history. The most obvious outcome is another let down year where we do not live up to our talent. Let's hope we get the cardiac kids version or an outright dominating version of the Browns this year instead.

New coaches, new system, amazing talent; my prediction is a lot of close losses against a hard schedule. 5-11. OBJ traded and one of the RBs traded mid season.

We have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Realizing that we were 2-6 at one point last year, I actually don’t see us being worse than 3-5 this year

Stefanski weakest head coach in the afc north. When we beat Baltimore we were 10th in defense. Mayfield Is on his 3rd head coach in 3 years his head must be spinning with only 14 days in the new system. I hope I am wrong this to me means we are in for a long season and 90 percent Of this board calling for Berrys head and Stefanski to.
